SHORT SUGAR RATIONS
ATLEAST UNTIL NOV. Is
Cuban Crop Not Available Before Jan
uary Louisiana Crop at
Earlier Date

Earlier bdlc.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The sugar re-
finers in the United States which were
forced to shut down through shortage
of raw materials will be enabled to re
sumo business on a reduced basis by the
terms of an agreement reached at con-
ference of the American retiners com
mittee, here yesterday. This will be
possible, it was announced, by an eqult-
able apportionment among the refners
of the country of all raw sugar in stock
or offered in the market The agree
ment involves 100000 tons bought from
Louisiana planters last Wednesday, half
of which will be distributed at North
Atlantic ports.
The agreement of the retiners, it was
announced, needs only the approval Of
the international committee headed by
George NJ. Rolph, chief OF the sugar di-
vision of the federal food administra-
| ton. That the plan will be approved
| is not doubted, it was said.
A belief that the sugar shortage i'll
| the country would terminate within q
fortnight was dissipated last night by
Mr.. Rolph. He declared that the Cuban
crop is not yet harvested and under
most favorable conditions would not be
available before January /. The LOuisl
ana product will not be available in this
part of the country before Nov. 10, Ii,
asserted and short rations will have t.
be endured until then.
The international committee an
nounced that no agreement regarding
prices of the Cuban crop has been made
although it is hoped an understanding
NAV be reached in a week or 10 days
Beyond tentative negotiations with tn
Cuban planters it was stated no action
of any kind had been taken.
At meeting of the internationa
committee today tentative outline o
Iplans was discussed The refners' com
mittee adjourned today subject to tn
call of the chairman.

FOR THEIR CHINESE LILIES
Women Gathering Stones In New York

In View.

As the theater crowd fastening to
get there before the curtain rose
packed Broadway the other night
some Of the men and women paused,
surprised at the sight Of two perfect
ly respectable looking women who
were picking up small stones from
pile in Longacre square. Each
woman carried a newspaper folded
into a three-cornered bag, and as
they picked up the stones, which they
carefully selected from a pile used
in the subway construction there,
they dropped them inside until the
papers were filed. Passersby won
dered what the women were going
to do with the pebbles. One who
fingered longer than the others,
prompted by curiosity, learned that
they wanted them TO put in Chinese
bowls in which they we're going to
grow Chinese lilies. "Its the hard
est thing in the world to get stones
or sand or dirt in New York." one
Of the pebble gatherers remarked. al

PREVENT RUPTURE IN COLTS
Best Time for Treatment Is Wher
Animals Are Young-Directlons
Given by an Expert.

CBy w. p. SHULER. Department OF
Veterinary Medicine. Oklahoma A. and
NJ College. Stillwater.)
The time to treat colts for rupture
In the region Of the navel Is when they
are young and before the ruptured
structures have become large enough
to permit the passage out Of the alb
domlnal cavity Of any portion Of the
intestlnes. II should be done at the
time Of birth or soon after the navel
begins to close up. This should take
place naturally and completely. and
the wall of the abdomen closed to-
gether firmly. However, this does not
always happen, and hence we have a
little pouchlike enlargement forming
that has n direct connection with the
abdominal cavity. This may close up
of Its own accord, and then again 1t
may become larger until finally struc-
lures like loop of intestines will be
able to work their way into IT.
You will find the following to be
all that Is probably necessary: Clip
Off the hair around the enlargement
and back two inches from the base;
grease the skin thoroughly around the
edge of the slipped area; take glass
rod and some concentrated nitric acid
and, dipping the glass rod into the
acid, draw three or four lines across
this enlargement. 1t may be neces-
sary to repeat this treatment once or
twice more.
The acid will cauterize it and cause
scar tissues to form. which will ulti-
mately fill up the opening in the alb
dominal cavity and the rupture will
be obliterated.
