DaiIv Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, June 4.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day said: In the absence of news de-
velopments Of particular marketwise
influence, Wall street gave but little
of its attention to the securities mar
kets today. Many large operators and
interests which are factors in normal
sessions adjusted their accounts at
the close of the week and departed
not to return until Wednesday, be-
cause Of the recess tomorrow on the
occasion Of CONSUMPTION registration.
Commission houses were largely de-
serted. The result was sort of dull,
churning process throughout the SEES
sion with stocks turning heavy after
an irregular movement in the first
hour or two. Price changes bore but
scant significance. United States Steel
lost about two points in the afternoon.
In late trading there we're several
strong features and a few particu-
larly weak ones. Among the first
were General Motors, Bethlehem
Steel B, Corn Products, Refining
Common. Baldwin Locomotive, U. S.
Rubber and among the second Amer
lean Smelling and the entire copper
group as we'll as Mercantile Marine
preferred and American Sugar, each
of which lost over three points.
Bonds were quiet and firm with
indications that front liquidation had
about run it's course.

WASHINGTON,-J June 4.-The gov
eminent intends to draft $4,000 men
on the first call following registra-
ton.
This information was given the
senate military committee today by
Provost Marshal General Crowder.
The 125,O0O men above the first $780,
900 increment will be placed in train
ing camps, to fill vacancies left by
men withdrawn through sickness or
death.
Crowder emphasized the fact that
no class Of men will be exempted as
a whole from service in Americas
army since such system would en-
danger the governments plan to get
100000 men from the ten million
men expected to register
Meanwhile the department of JUS
tice sidetracked all other business
for enforcement of the selective serv-
ice act The department issued this
warning:
"All other matters in the depart
ment of justice, for the time being
will be subordinated to the enforce
ment of the CONSUMPTION act When
ever necessary the assistance of fed
eral, state and local officials will be
sought. The officers and agents of
the department throughout the coun-
try have been instructed accordingly
Committing magistrates will be
asked to fix bail as high as may be
practicable In each case, higher bail
being asked in the cases of individu-
ais who have advised or aided other
persons to evade the law or who
have interfered >yith the registration
officers in the proper performance of
their duties, than will be asked in the
cases of individuals who merely fail
to register"

The Worth while Man.

Cincinnati Times-Star: What is
worthwhile man? Some college
girls, it is said, neither know nor
care. Not so goods at the University
of Cincinnati, who have taken pains
to announce their consensus of
opinion Credit for standardizing the
worthwhile man is mainly due to
members of the literary society. Sew
eral days ago they got together to
decide. Here is the result, embody-
ing the best collective opinion of the
varsity goods:
The worthwhile man Is vigorous
and manly physically, and careful of
the details of his appearance.
He has sense of humor.
He Is courteous to everyone.
He Is thoughtful of other people. !
He is tactful.
His education is sufficiently broad
to enable him to appreciate the finer
things of culture.
He enjoys sports.
He can appreciate the fireside.
He is ambitious for worthwhile
things.
He has an aim in life.
He has religious faith.
He has courage, strength of pur.
pose and self control.

SUGAR BOWL
ALMOST EMPTY
Supply to be Exhausted by Middle OF
October With No More Before
the End Of De-
cember.

by Robert J. Bender, United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June America 8
sweet tooth is in danger.
According to information submitted
to congress by Herbert Hoover. food
administrator, the sugar supply OF
the United States will have been ex-
hausted by the middle Of October ana
there will be no large shipments to
arrive before the end Of December.
The outlook for sugar is very
poor" said Hoover. "The Cuban crop
may be down a million and quarter
tons below the four million normal.
Generally there is scarcity Of sugar
IN the world, owing to the decrease IN
beet sugar production all over Europe.
There is also greater demand and
greater pull by the allies on such
sugar as is available and they have
an equal pull on the Cuban markets
and other markets with ourselves"
What effect the threatened sugar
shortage will have on the American
households is yet Understandable. The
senate finance committee has already
decided to encourage domestic sugar
producers and reflners by urging re-
peal of that section of the Underwood
tariff which allows NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF tariff to those sugar importers
whose product is re-exported out OF
this country.
Hoover believes the high price on
sugar is stimulating the beet sugar
Planting in western states but the har-
vest though 1t will be large, makes
up for nothing like the diversion fac
Ing US in Cuba"
Hoover insisted today that II con-
eress gives the food control depart
ment sufficient powers, there must be
coordination of the purchasing
agents of the allies "to cease competi-
tlon for that sugar as far as We can"
He urged arrangements for hauling
Java sugar to the United States so as
10 release the Cuban sugar to Europe.

sulphur-like smell that lightning
causes was noticed all through the
