SUGAR FAMINE
 LOCAL AND NOT DUE TO SHORTAGE
Food Administration Is Re- sponsible for Condition,
 Says Refinery Head.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Declaring that there is no shortage of sugar ill the United States and that the famine is local to the Atlantic Seaboard, Pres ident Spreckels of the Federal Sugar Refining Company, testifying today at the Senate committee investigation, placed the responsibility on the Food Administration. Sugar, he declared. was now passing through New York for Canada because of higher prices.
 The sugar going through New York, Spreckels said, was raw and the Ca- nadiar refiners paid higher price. "We entered into an agreement with the Food Administration to pay a cer- tain price for raw sugars" said .Spreckles. "We adhered to that agreement and the product normally imported into this country went abroad because better prices could be obtained We were forced to close our refineries for lack of supplies. "
 "If you could pay higher price now could you open your refinery" Senator Reed asked.
 '.Nnt at once. Much of the supply has gene abroad and it would take time to get the raw product here" "
 Spreckles testified that there is no shortage in the world or the coun- try's sugar supply. and that the only deficiency was localized in the East ern Atlantic states.
 Mir. Spreckels said there still were 90,000 tons of last years crop unused and estimated the 1917-191S crop ex- elusive of that produced by Germany her allies and Russia, as 1,230,O0O tons in excess of the amount pro- d,lced in the same territory last year
 Ky, eliminating Java there would be 1S0,0Oc tons less than the available in sight last year, Mir. Spreckels said.
 He estimated the Cuban crop this year at about 60O,000 tons more than ever before.
 On October 19, 1917, Spreckles said, he .telegraphed Food Administrator Hoover urging he be allowed to pay higher price and agreed not to raise the price to the wholesaler ii allowed to do 50. The food admin istrator answered that the $G9Q per hundred pound price for imported raM sugar was high, and that he be- lieved other refiners also would be glad to pay more. He attributed some of the inability to get raw sugar to spectators holding the supply in Cuba. Spreckels said he was moi aware of such a situation. MT. Hoover also wrote that the supply then avail able in Cuba at higher price would

for the grownups and as natural con- sequence they are much in demand for the younger contingent also. The pretty little frock shown on the skating girl is made with one such and it makes an especially practical suggestion be. cause of the combination of materials. As you sec it there, the over-bodice and skirt match while the blouse and trim- ming are different, but a pretty frock could be made to give quite different result by making the blouse and skirt of one material and the over-bodice of another. You will find the model a

throat to become a muffler. As you see it here, it is made of rough cloth with broadcloth making the trimming, it is combination that is much liked but the model is good one for velours cloth and for broadcloth and for all cloaking materials that are light enough in weight to allow of the plaited sides. The cheviot illustrated is the shower proof sort that makes it cspeci- ally desirable for school wear.

to carry out. For the coats, there are durable rough cloths that are always pretty on children, duvetyn and velours cloth are very beautiful and there are a variety of other fabrics. For small child only little is needed and even if the cloth is expensive, the coat can be obtained for very moderate sum. Such little touches as the hand but ton-holed edge mean distinction and just the quality that is found in the finest, best and most costly of the imported models. Serge is always a standby for school dresses and is gen. erally used in combination with taffeta or with satin or with something to tighten it somewhat.
 The plaited skirt that is shown in the dress illustrated is especially worthy of note for plaits are among the new features and plaits are found both in froeks and in coats designed for the younger contingent. Fur is, Of course, being extensively used as trin,- ming on coats, but it need not neces- sarily be fur in large quantity. A great many mothers object to fur col- lars from the standpoint of health. They are apt to heat the throat excess sively and to give a tendency toward cold. Such collar as the one illus trated with band or even with just an edge of simple fur such as beaver would make smart effect, and if you repeat the fur on the cuffs and cover the buttons with odd bits you will have very smart effect for very moderate cost. Every possible kind of fur 's being used but beaver and nutria al- ways are favorites for children. They are essentially childlike in effect and quite neutral tones are exceedingly pretty in contrast with the bright colors we are apt to like for the little folks garments.
 Hats this season, however, arc sur- prising1y dark in color. brown and black and dark blue are shown more frequently than any other colors. The velours hats appear in lovely castor shade that is beautiful but there seems a rather astonishing lack of what we regard as the essentially childlike colors, and one meets great many of the best dressed children wearing black hats. The tams, however, that are designed for skating and for school and for such use are just as bright as can be as if to compensate. A vivid scarlet is liked and scarlet always gives picturesque note to the child S cos- tune.
 There is very notable tendency toward using two materials for single frock. and that fact is always helpful one when economy must be considered and relnahine taken into consideration. A very r9'' 'aacdcl and one that is prom ,ses' i.a-ity shows little

s fashions are mar \ velously attractive just now.

@HILDREN s fashions are mar \ velously attractive just now.
 There is just little element ot quaintness about many of the designs for more dressy occasions that renders them fascinating, and even the most practical, serviceable dresses Of school wear and the coats of every day use are rendred bit unusual either by a combinations of materials or some color effect or treatment that ltts them out of the commonplace. For school, the wisest mothers are apt to to feel that the washable materials are the best at all seasons of the year, and gingham and chambray and cot ton poplin and linen and fabrics ot such sort are in demand. They are to be found in very beautiful colors and designs, and there are great many materials that sell under fancy names that add to the variety. The wash- able dresses have the great advantage of becoming new after each washing and are not alone the most healthtui but also the most attractive. The little model that is shown in the illus tration makes good example of how fabrics can be treated and also how simple design can be converted to many uses, for you can copy it in washable material or you can copy it in taffeta or you can copy it in serge with taffeta.
 Numberless mothers will be making frocks at home this season. This con- sistently increasing cost of living and of necessities has brought about that in,- portant economical step. Children frocks that are made of good material and we'll sewed will endure infinitely more usage than those that are made of the lesser materials apt to be found in the reday-made garments. The ginghams are very charming and at- tractivc and there are really marvellous colors offered in cotton and in linen. A favoritc combination and very pretty one is dark blue with touches of buff. One sees it not alone in dresses but in coats. For example,
  the coat on the little girl at the left would be very smart made of blue duvetyn or other cloth with. buff collar and buff straps, and if you want to make a very fashionable finish at almost no cost. finish the edges of the collar and the cuffs with irregular button-hol;ng done with heavy worsted using blue to match the coat on buff background.
 All sorts of simple fancy stitchery is in vogue Irregular button-hoIing is much liked as finish for edges, chain stitching and feather stitching all are used. so that reyify. ,fasbion seems to have considered the need of the mo- ncns and to- have supplied just the dcs;s..s that c,u :ae easiest for mothers

PRESIDENT THOMPSON
 OF CRESCENT COLLEGE
 IS AGAIN IN THE CITY

President E. R. Thompson of Cres- cent College for girls, is in Prescott again today, interviewing parents of enrolled and prospective students of that institution. President Thomp- son expressed surprise that engin- eers from the Highway Department are not already surveying the pro- posed highway through Nevada coun- ty, as the highway engineer had promised ot send engineers to Pres colt Wednesday. He is calling the Highway Department by telephone to ascertain the cause of the delay.
 Speaking of prospects for the col lege for next session, President Thompson said: q have spent sev- eral days in Arkansas towns on this trip and l am grieved to find the im- pression so general that the institu- tion of which l am president is dis tinctly society school. 1 issued a statement on this subject in a recent tissue of hte News. l have concluded ot remain in Arkansas territory for several days more to correct this i'm pression. As a result of this week s work 1 have enrolled seven Arkansas girls. am pained to learn that this false impression is due at least in part to representations made by so- licitors from oIn-' schools in this state. l have writJ1l to the heads of those schools on the subject as l am unwilling to believe that they are aware of such tactics employed by their convassers. We are still offer ing discount to girls in Arkansas, hoping to equalize somewhat the ne- cessarily higher charges We main tain to provide individual attention. When parents become acquainted with the superior advantages of Cres- cent such as higher altitude, healthful location, safer buildings, superior teachers, natural and modern meth ods, accredited relations and the moral and christian atmosphere in Crescent College, they will not be misled by untrue and exaggerated statements regarding this college"
