CUTTING OUT CANDY
WOULD Save SUGAR
Enough Confectionery Used in the
United States to Keep
Europe Easily.

According to information reaching
the food administration the sugar used
in making candy in the United States
is sufficient to meet all the sugar re-
quirements of Great Britain under the
rationing standard adopted there.
If the people of the United States
would cut out candy the sugar so
saved would be more than sufficient
to meet all the sugar requirements of
France.
If one half the sugar used in the
making of candy in this country in
1917 could have been saved, 1t would
have been sufficient to meet the sugar
requirements of Italy for year
under that country's present sugar
standard.
The money spent for candy in this
country the past year is nearly double
the amount of money needed to keep
Belgium supplied with food for q year.
Of the total consumption Of the Unit
ed States about one-third goes into the
manufacture of various foodstuffs, in
Guiding confectionery, while the re-
mainder is consumed as sugar. The
amount Of sugar employed in the max
ing of confectionery is variously esti-
mated from 1900: to 100000 tons a
year.
The confectionery business Of the
country is about two-thirds as large
as the butter business, q little less than
one-third as large as the wheat flour
business, slightly larger than the can
ming and preserving of fruits and about
two-fifths as large as the bakery busi-
ness.

TEXAS IN THE LEAD
Highest Percentage of Acceptances for
Air Service.

Highest Percentage of Acceptances for
Air Service.
Out Of tests Of applicants for aerial
service in the army, from twenty diff
ferent states, Texans lead in the per-
centage Of acceptanCes. The observ-
ers' tests are similar to those for the
pilots for airplanes, except the equili-
brium test is not included in the exam
ination for observers. officers in
charge of this branch Of the aviation
corps say the reason Texans lead in
the tests is that they are clear-eyed,
keen of observation and their outdoor
life has trained them to quick decision
and action.
While the army is always in need
Of pilots for airplanes and warplanes,
the great need right now is for OBJ
servers-the men who note the lay of
the land and map out the country as
the plane moves at a great height in
the air.

FOR ANILINE DYES
Industry Has Grown Rapidly in
This Country ~inCe Outbreak
of War.

The American woman's clothing is
now dyed with colors produced by
American manufacturers, and the Eng
lish are turning to the United States
for their aniline dyes, according to re-
ports made to the bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce.
So rapidly has the American dye in
dustry grown since the outbreak of
the war that capital invested has in
creased from about 100000 to $780,
100000.
British representatives are now in
this country to cooperate with Ameri-
can manufacturers in supplying Eng
lish and other foreign markets.
Synthetic indigo, one of the most
important tinctOrial products, was not
manufactured in this country before
the war, the bulk of our market re-
quirements being filed from Germany.
The "blue jeans" Of the American
farm hand were all colored by dyes
made in Germany. Today American
manufacturers are booking contracts
for 1918 delivery, according to state
ments of trade journals.
The production Of aniline dyes is
now equal to the domestic demands,
and the United States has already en-
tered the field of world trade as an
exporter of dyestuffs.
For the month Of July the ship
ments Of American-made aniline dyes
to foreign countries amounted in value
to $497, ,106.

FAR WEST is UNAFFECTED
Electric Sign Rule Does Not Apply on

Western cities, as a rule, are not af-

Fuel Administrator Holmes Of Oregon
declares where electric energy is pro-
duced by water power the order does

Very little coal or oil is used for

smaller towns waste from sawmills Is

Herself Rather Than BE Shot.
Rather than be shot to death because
a veterinarian had pronounced her
crazy, Maude, a mule valued at $3.50,
belonging to George Hays, Lawrence
port, Ind, farmer, committed suicide.
The animal had become so crazy that
it had become necessary to tie her
with a strong rope to keep her from
beating herself to death against the
side Of barn.
AS there was no known cure for a
crazy mule, Doctor Sanders, a veteri-
marian, who was called to attend her,
decreed she should be shot. Her ex-
ecutioner went for a revolver, but be-
fore he returned the mule had tipped
the rope around her neck, and lunging
backward, choked herself to death.

Although there is a larger habitable
area in South America than In North
America. there are only half as many
people in the southern continent.
And only third of South Americas
population is Of pure white blood.
In Peru and Ecuador, only one person
in seventeen is white; nearly three-quar-
ters are Indian, the rest are Chinese and
mixed-very mixed.
A million immigrants year were pour
ing into South America before the war.
They came from Italy. Spain. Germany.
England, Holland Scandinavia, Portugal.
China. Japan and India but there Is no
immigration movement from North
America.
There are nearly half a million 1talians
near Buenos Aires in Argentina.
The government Of Brazil has recently
arranged with the Japanese government
to encourage Japanese immigration. I'm

in Brazil.
