PRETTY DANCES
AT EXHIBITION

University scampus last night by the
department of physical education for
women, of the University summer
school. vas witnessed by some five
hundred people. Miss Nell Martin
dale, who is at the head of this de-
partment directed the performance
which was one of the most attractive
that has been seen here. The men
taking military training at the Uni
versity attended in a body.
The program was made up of a
series of interpretative dances includ-
ing several solo numbers that were
given at the annual May fete, this
year. Miss Lila Warnken, with her
Little Boy Blue" dance, and the
Dance of the Flame" by Miss Mar
jorie Cook, both were repeated with
grace, and were given a large measure
of appreciation. Miss Agnes O'Con-
nor, who was the fairy queen at the
May fete, again gave her Fairy
Waltz" which was indeed fairy-like
and graceful.
Group dances of interest were the
Dutch Windmill" the Dance of the
Glowworn," and an unusual series
of primary games and dahces. AS a
closing for the program there was a
clever patriotic tableau, "The spirit OF
America"

at her intently.

clared professionally.

tell you when you come back?"
No answer.
"When will you come back?"

over the period of scarcity, until the
the new crops Of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records Of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
TENDER and October 995,000 tons were
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows a definite, concrete saving Of
over 100000 tons. These figures ap-
ply to sugar consumed on the table, In
the kitchen and in the various indus
tries, and show conclusively that In
the homes and public eating places OF
America, where 20 per cent. Of all our
sugar is consumed, the sugar consump-
ton has been reduced by more than
one-third.
In the four-month period begin
ming with July, this country normally
uses 100000 tons Of sugar per month.
Last July 100000 tons entered into
distribution. In August only 225,OO0
tons were distributed. In September
the figures showed $4,000 tons, and
then fell to 100000 tons in October.
There could be no more definite
proof that the American people have
given their loyal cooperation and sup
port of the war.

SUGAR TESTED
MORAL fiber
Doubters Declared Saving Sta.
piles Would Be Easy Compared
With Sacrificing Luxuries.
FIGURES SHOW RESULTS
Americans Demonstrated Sturdy Sup
port of War by Conserving for
the Benefit of the
Allies.

When figures began to show def
initely that the people of the United
States were actually reducing their
consumption of foods needed abroad,
the United States Food Admins
tration was told that it was COM
paratively easy to bring about conser-
walton of staple necessities, but that It
would be far more difficult to accom-
pliSh an actual decrease in the use Of
luxuries. The doubters took sugar as
an example, and declared that it would
be practically impossible to bring our
consumption of sugar down to a point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean tom
mage will be lightened, European ma
tions will be able to go farther afieId
for foodstuffs, and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar to place this country
back upon normal consumption if the
present short rations in Europe are
not materially increased If the Eu-
ropean ration is to be materially in
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making it possible by con-
tinued restriction to a greater or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra-
ton has been able to relax the volun-
tary sugar ration Is in itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
walton allowed the Food Administra-
ton to build up a reserve. and to tide

Il Don Want

By KITTY PARSONS
Copyright, 1918. by the Mcclure Newspa-
per Syndicate.)

After a three days lapse from con-
seriousness, Dick Pennock woke up in
a base hospital, somewhere in France.
He ached miserably and his head was
on fire, but he had a dim remem-
brance of one thing, and put out his
hand grOpingly. There was nothing
there. He wondered If there ever had
been-his thoughts were so confused.
He was long way from home, and he
thought Vida had forgotten him, too.
Pennock's wounded arm was slight
ly better, but that night his fever went
up and for long time he was deliri-
Gus. And through all the days and
nights that followed, he called for
Vida continually.
II will be Vida, Doctor Daudet,"
announced the little nurse with the
red hair and the laughing eyes. "The
poor boy will die-he is so lonely for
someone from home, and I can pre-
tend. I know all about this girl-she
does not love him. But he need not
know it yet, and afterwards when he
is strong, we can tell him."
After long time, he opened his
eyes and looked at her in a puzzled
way.
won't you kiss me, vida," he asked
her.
The face was so white and drawn
and the plea so pitiful, that the girl
knelt beside the bed, and kissed him
gently on the forehead-as a mother
might kiss her young son.
"You are so beautiful, Vida, and so
kind" he told her. His tired lids
dropped again and he fell asleep.
For long time she stayed there,
then at last, the hand that held hers
relaxed, and she slipped exhausted to
the floor. The doctor found her there
and carried her to a couch, where she
slept dreamlessly for three hours.
81 am so sorry to wake you," said
the head nurse, as she bent over her,
'but your patient keeps calling for
someone and we can't seem to help
him at all. VIII you Gomez"
Patty was on her feet instantly, and
hurried to him. She saw at once that
he was now perfectly rational, for he
Immediately asked her where Vida
was.
"She had to go away" she told him
gently, wishing she could tell him the
truth.
"She was so changed" he went on.

nurse questioningly, and to his sur
prise her face flushed crimson.
"He's much better" the doctor told
her late that afternoon, and sent her
off to get some well-earned sleep.
When she went back to her duties,
late that night, she found Dick flushed
with fever, looking about the room
anxiously. At sight of her he lay back
on his pillow with a sigh of content
ment.
81 knew you'd come" he exulted.
'"That red-headed nurse lied to me
knew you hadn't gone"
The doctor winked at the nurse over
the patients head.
The patient took Patty's hand. ""rell
me she lied, Vida," he begged.
| Patty dropped his hand and her face
flushed with anger So this was to be
her reward-he would probably hate
her.
'Yes, she lied" she agreed, and slip
ped her hand back in his.
