FOR COCA-COLA FiENDs

Miami, Dec. 4.-That sugar short
age sure is terrible thing.
No longer can the tired business
man or the matinee girl call indiscrim-
inately for the usual dope" The
coca-cola supply is just one half that
of last year, and Miami dealers are
all complaining that the supply should
be doubled to meet the demand.I

management is cooperating with
Hoover in cutting down consumption

INSURANCE OF SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 4.--The
act which provides for government
life insurance for soldiers and sailors
has now been in operation a little
more than a month. The secretary
of the treasury announced on Nov
II that up to that date 64,168 appli-
cations under the new f8w had been
received, representing insurance in
the sum Of $552,O93,O00. From four
to six thousand applications are re-
ceived each day at the treasury de-
partment, the amount of insurance
applied for sometimes reaching to-
tai .of fifty million dollars in sim
gle day.
The law provides that soldiers
sailors, marines and nurses in active
service may obtain from the govern
n.ent life insurance in amounts not
exceeding $4,000 at premium rates
ranging from 65 cents a month at
the~age Of 21 years to $l2O month
at the age of 81 years, for each
~ 900 of insurance.
One of the primary objects of this
law is to lessen the tremendous bur-
den of pensions which has followed
as a consequence of Ill American
wars
II is evident that the administra-
ton of this new branch Of govern,
n1ent work is big business in itself
Put this is only one of many gov
ernmental activities incident to the
war which are adding great numbers
to clerks. stenographers, and other
servants to Uncle Sans payroll. Lit.
orally thousands of stenographers
and typewriters have been appoint
ed in Washington during the past
few months and thousands more arr
tn be appointed as soon as they are
available The United States Civi
Service Commission is holding exami
nations for these positions weekl!
throughout the country. Secretarie
of local boards of civil service exami
Eers at the postoffioes in all citie
ARE furnishing detailed information.

L'ENGLE IS PRESSING
A SUIT AGAINST PAPER
ON THE CHARGE OF LIBEL

Tallahassee, Dec. 4.-Newspaper-
men and politicians of the State will
be especially interested in the out
come of a libel suit that was argued
Yesterday afternoon in the Florida
Supreme court, for the future policy
Of both will be affected by the de-
cision handed down. The case is
wherein Claude L'Engl is suing the
Florida Metropolis for libel. The
lower court awarded Mr.. L'Engle
damages in the sum of $4,000. and
the cause was brought to the su-
preme court on a writ of error sued
out by the Florida Metropolis.
At the time the Metropolis put'
lished the alleged libelous article the
PAPER was under the direction oil
George A. Mcclellan, and Claudi
lI.Engle was a candidate for Congress:
in the Fourth district. The particu
lar artiue was taken almost entirels
from one that appeared under M
L'Engle's signature in his own pa.
per. but the Metropolis IN reproduc
ing it printed it under a "scaretead'
witch said Mr.. L'Engle pleaded gull
ty # being a fakir and forger.
There exists in Florida a verl
stringent libel law but there are few
ccr victions. and usually the maj
who files a suit against newspape
withdraws it afterward, but this /
a most unusual one, and Mr.. L'Engl
he,;eves the article was entirely re
sponsible for his defeat in the con
gressional race.
i Thomas B. Adams represents MI
, L'Engle and George Beddel is the al
torney for the Metropolis.
