iL0N()hE: AVIATORS MAY PUT LANDING
 STAyIQN Al p. s.
Commander of Eberts Field Coming to Inspect Site
 for Flight Terminal

A landing station for the student aviators from Eberts Field at Lonoke may be established in Pine Bluff. Plans for securing such field have been under way for some time and yesterday a party consisting of mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary club and County Council of Defense motored to Lonoke to take the matter up with the officer in charge. The party consisted of H. c. Couch, H I. Holderness, E. B. Bloom, Frank Franey and George H. Adams.
 The commanding officer of the camp gave the Pine Bluff men much encouragement and promised to fly over from Lonoke some time within the next week and inspect the site be- ing considered here. The principal re- quirements asked by the aviators are a large, cleared field on which to light an intervening country with plenty of open spaces in case the airman has trouble on the way and is forced to come down, and good roads to the aviation field for transporting dam aged planes. The delegation pointed out that Pine Bluff could fill al of these requirements.
 The students at Eberts Field are now going thru the first stages of training and soon will be making cross country flight. When they reach that point landing fields within easy flight of the camp are to be es tablished to enable them to alight fol rest and for necessary adjustments ol supplies. It is one of these landing places that Pine Bluff is endeavorine l to secure.

The bean is a numerous family.
You find him in white. black, tan,

characteristic common to all the
members of this family and that IS
the high percentage of protein or
meat quality which they contain and
which gives them the right to be
called the poor man s steak. -
Lima beans contain ISL per cent
of protein and white beans 22.5 per
cent. Compare this with 1913 per
cent IN chicken, 15.9 per cent IN leg
of lamb, 16.4 per cent IN round of
beef, 1874 per cent in eggs, and III
per cent in porterhouse steak.
More protein can be obtained from
a pound of beans costing ten cents
than can be obtained from pound
of porterhouse steak costing four
times as much. In other words,
beans give the same muscle-forming

Beans also contain a large amount
of starch, thus furnishing two of the
most important food groups. pro-
TEN and starch The element almost
totally lacking IN beans is fat, and
for this reason fat should always
be added In some form to dishes pre-
pared from beans.
Since beans are a dried form of
concentrated food, some of their
original moisture must be restored
to them before they are cooked.
This can be accomplished by soak
ing them over night or. more quickly,
by pouring boiling water over them
As beans contain a high percent
age Of sulphur and other strong
salts, It is advisable to counteract
them by adding baking soda. Only
a small amount of soda should be
used, however, and the water in
which it is used should be drained
off. The hull of the bean is some
what indigeStible, so that for chill
dren or those with delicate digestion
it is best to use the bean IN some
form of puree or pulp with the bulls
removed.

am not yet ready to admit that cot

Just Why We Are Facing a Sugar Famine

TTHE acute shortage of sugar
now experienced IN the
! American market has set Us
all thinking. When the housekeeper
is compelled, in many places, to buy
two dollars worth of other groceries
before she is able to secure her seanty
allowance of sugar-usually two
pounds, more or less-she is made to
wonder why the war should have
the effect it has had on this particu-
lar commodity.
Our sugar supply is derived from
two sources, the sugar cane and the
sugar beet. Sugar cane intended for
the United States market is grown
largely in tropical countries like
Cuba. Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Phil
ippine Islands, st. Croix and LOmsi-
ana.
On the other hand, the sugar beet
is not so restricted In territory. It
can be grown in any mildly temper
ate cline and, except for compare
lively small amounts produced IN
this country, the sugar beet for com
mercial purposes has been grown
largely in the war-stricken countries
of Europe.
Naturally, during a continuation of
the present war, these countries have
been unable TO grow enough for their
own use, so during such active hostil-
tiles there has been no expectation of
this product from them for this coun-
try.
Consequently the cessation of the
European supply created a serious
Toss in the amount of sugar produced
for the American market. However.
during the last two years the sugar
cane production has been materially
increased in the United States terri
tory. so this has tended to minimize
to a certain degree, the shortage of
supply.
Unfortunately, the sugar crop in
Argentina showed an unaeeountably
serious falling off IN productivity and
the Cuban Instruction cut down that
islands production practically one
half. We can realize what this
means when we know that prior to

United States receive no sugar at all
from Europe, but our allies were
forced to obtain all their sugar from
Us. because the British isles produce
practically no sugar at all.
From Us they bought up great
quantities of refined sugar. This
move not only helped to cut short
our own supply, but it demoralized
conditions so badly that the Govern
ment was forced to step In and regu-
late the market conditions of this

commodity, as well as a number Of
others that showed signs of scarcity
and undue fuetuation of price
But, owing to the widespread
plans and activities Of Commissioner
Hoover, who has consolidated the
sugar interest IN New York, where
the headquarters of the international
Sugar Committee viii be located,
such conditions soon viii be changed.
New York is to become the great
sugar centre Of the world And upon
the success of this committees work
will depend the readjustment of an
industry involving yearly business
of over a billion dollars. Guided by
the plans and directions of our Gov
eminent Food Administration, and Of
the Allied Governments, this COM
for practically half the civilized
mittee is acting not only for us but

As soon as the natural period Of
readjustment In international and
domestic markets is passed, we may
then expect that all reasonable de-
msnds for sugar viii be satisfied.
