CrOcers Warned

Grocers who advance the retail price
of sugar which they have had on hand
prior to the date of the sugar price in
crease are violating the rules of the food
administration, and will be prosecuted
as profteers, according to Jay Cooke
Philadelphia food administrator. Sugar
bought by retailers at the old price must
be sold at the old price, Mr.. Cooke an
nounces.
The new price of sugar, II was ex-
planned. applies only to sugar delivered
by refineries to wholesalers after the
close of business last Saturday ev ing
Retail dealers in sugar are notified
that the regulations of the food adminis-
tration now require the use of the regis
tration blank over the counter at the

no sales may be made by any retailer

The playground or recreation teacher,

self or herself from office, If rules

their new head have in course of prep

rules as they existed since the forma-
tion of that body years ago. All ap-
pointive and dismissal powers will be
retained in the control of the board, it
was announced, and not delegated to
subordnates. The total abstainence rule
is perhaps the most radical plan that
will be read into the rules.

BELATED ALARM
INSHIPYARD FIRE
Chief Carter, of Camden.
Fixes Blame for Spread
of Flames
DUE TO CARELESSNESS
Blaze May Delay Destroyers.
One Dead, Thirty.fve Hurt
by Explosion

A fifteen-minute delay in striking an
alarm was responsible for much of the
fire loss at the South Camden plant of
the New York Shipbuilding Company
last night, according to Fire Chief
Peter Carter, of the Camden Fire De-
partment, who criticized officials of the
company for the delay.
Following an investigation today,
Rear Admiral Bowles, representing the
Emergency Fleet Corporation, declared
the fire was due to carelessness on the
part of the workmen in the fabricating
shop at the plant. He secuted any talk
of incendiarism.
"The fire started at O'clock" said
Chief Carter today I'VE saw the glare
and the smoke, but were not sure of
the location of the blaze. For nearly
fifteen minutes we had the motors of
our fire apparatus going, ready to speed
out, and cur men waited with boots on
Hard Fight for Firemen
'"The alarm came in at Sis o'clock
struck after the companys force had
vainly tried to conquer the blaze un-
assisted. When I reached the fire I
saw we had a hard battle ahead of us,
but knew I could beat it with the
companies we had on the scene. We
managed to- save sixteen destroyers and
sixteen ways. fighting with our backs
to the destroyers to protect them from
the flames.
II did not call out the four companies
from Philadelphia. While I appreciate
Philadelphia's proffered help, the COM
panes were not needed. Some one at
the plant became excited and telephoned
for the Philadelphia engines"
Another investigation was started to-
day by agents of the Federal Govern
ment to ascertain the cause of the
1T T" blast which occurred at the
Eddystone ammunition plant, Chester
yesterday afternoon.
Both plants hold large Government
contracts-the former for the construc
tion of torpedoboat destroyers and mer-
chant ships, and the latter for high ex
| plosives.
Damage variously estimated at from
s25O,000 to 100000 resulted from the
