GREAT BRITAIN
 WILL HAVE SUGAR CARDS NEXT WEEK
to Give House holders Complete Fam
 fly History.

London, Sept 2S.-While the gov ernment at Washington has been car rying to successful conclusion it's negotiations with the American sugar producers for an agreement to fix a stable retail price for their commod ity during the war, Great Britain has been working on solution of the sug- ar problem along different lines. The British plan provides for sugar cards, under the same system already adopt ed by the Continental countries for the control of various foodstuffs, and which will entitle each person in the United Kingdom to a fixed amount of sugar each week.
 It is England's first experience with the card system. and the distribution of the cards, which work will be con- pleted by the food controller tomor- row, has attracted no end of public at tention and comment.
 By tomorrow night it is expected that the application forms will have been left at every house in the coun- try. The food controller is showing the people every consideration. He is giving them exactly one week in which to study the beauties of the applica- tion form. By the end of next week it must be returned to the proper author ities.
 But when it returns it must be a very different document from the form which has been left at the household CTS for the past week by the postman or the postwoman. It must contain the householder's family history, his req sons for being on earth, out of the army, and in need of sugar. And the family records set down must be as scrupulously correct as those in the family Bible.
 It will be of no use for the house. holder to try to persuade the au- thorities that he is bringing up large family if the total of his responsibili- ties is wife. It will not do for him to declare that he is sole support of an aged grandmother, for if he doas the pension officer is likely to be call- ed in to verify the statement. Nor will it avail him to invent names for half a dozen children who don't exist, in the hope that by so doing he will get twice as much sugar. In mak- ing false statements he is more than likely to get no sugar at all, except what the prison authorities may hand to him in his cell once day.
 But, above all, the householder or head of family is cautioned not to for get to fill in the application form. The food controller very considerably points out that it is not compulsory for anyone to complete the form; but, on the other hand, if he doesn't do so, the food controller won't guarantee

the British examiners are to-day disin-

tests supposed to determine mans abil-
