This plan was favorably re- ceived by tine sugar refining ii- duxtxy, which had been CIR war hasss almost from the beginning ocf tae European War.
 The war had hrcusht the Allies into the Cuban market. resulting m severe domestic and ;nserna- ticnal competition with nc in- creased sUbplies. Naturally prices of refined sugar, hoth to the American' public and to the Allies, rose under ffliS forced draft.
 Domestic susar refiners, since the outbreak of the European War not only have safeguarded the United States supply but have maintained the lowest sugar prices in the world.
 This brilliant record is due largely to the fact that stS,ar re- fiIlinS IS in the hands of large husineSs units, with an excess of refining capacity sufficient to SUD- ply all domestic needs, and so far all demands of foreign countries.
 In the spring of 1917 there was a serious attempt at the diSor- Sanizaticn of the sugar refining industry, following a long seSies of attempts at destruction of sugar ships.
 Accompanying these incidents were widely circulated sensa- tiCnal repOrts predicting a sugar famine and sugar shortage, cauS- ing widespread apprehension.
 Atthattime, evenwith the assur- ance of ample supplies on hand. retail sugar prices rose in some sections to 20 and 25 cents pound.
 The efforts of the American Sugar Refining Company to allay public alarm, to check hoarainS, tO accept a price less than that which it could easily have se- cured, and to distribute its, prod. uct fairly and evenly among the trade, were of real public service.
 While there were great supplies of sugar in far-away Java which ordinarily would have gone tc Europe, yet the necessity for say. inS ships became so great that Europe turned to Cuba for even larger supplies than previously.
 1t takes a cargo ship l50 days te make a round trip between Eng land and Java, while round trif between England and Cuba car be made in 50 days.
 Under these circumstance. and seemingly to avoid payin, proposed United States war taxe. Ou refined sugar the European Allies purchased in Cuba thu sugar which ordinarily wouls have come to the United State in the fall months.

led the. United States and the Allied Nakscns to urge upon the sugar industry the adoption by voAsznSaTy agreement of the original Hoover plan. under the asssaority of the Food Control Act, passed August 10, 1917,
 The cane-susar refiners and the beet-susar producers unanimously agreed to the Hoover plan as a patriotic act in the interest of the American people and as an aid to the Allies.
 This is the significance of the appointment by the United States Food Administration of the Inter. national Sugar Com mittee to which the Allies sendzrepresenta- tives for England, France. Italy and Canada, and to which the United States contributes three members.
 Upon the success of the opera. tion of the International Sugar Committee under the directions of the Allied Governments, acting for practically half the civilized world, will depend the readjust. ment of the worlds sugar markets.
 This plan is full of promise to all the nations party to the con. verlticn.
 It is an assurance that sugar, although comparatively cheap in view of war conditions, will not by reason either of competitive or speculative activity be in. creased in wholesale price.
 Sugar will become stabilized in price with sufficient profit to pro. ducerS, refiners and merchants to maintain and stimulate prodssc. ton and to cover the cost of re. finins and of distribution.
 The marketing of Domino Cane Sugars in cartons and small cotton bags by this Company has helped amazingly during the pinch of the fall months in giving a wide distribution among the retailers of the reduced sugar supplies.
 While a barretformerIy was the unit of the grocer the same amount of sugar put up in cartons and small cotton bags can now be di- vided between two or more grocers and so serve a larger number of people and prevent hoardins.
 It will be necessary for grocers and consumers to watch carefully their distribution and purchases during the approaching period of readi,sstment. The refineries are now starting up and supplies of raw sugar coming forward, but it will take weeks, and possibly months. for the return of normal conditions.
 Housewives can aid in conserv. ing the. sugar supply by buying these package sugars.

TRIAL TRIP BY MOONLIGHT
Engineer Wanted Secrets of Locomo-
tive Kept, and He Didn't Know
How to Run 1t.

An interesting incident of the first
Canadian railway, which ran from La
prarie on the st. Lawrence river to st.
Johns on the Richelieu, under the name
of the Champlain & st. Lawrence rail
way, is related in Prout's Railways of
Canada.
The first locomotive used on the line
came from Europe, accompanied by an
engineer who, for some unexplained
reason, had it Gagged and secreted from
public view. The trial trip was made
by moonlight in the presence of a few
interested persons, and it is not de-
Scribed as a success. Later, the i'm
ported engineer made several attempts
to set the kitten-for such was the
nickname applied to this pioneer loco
mOtive-in motion toward st. Johns,
but in vain; the engine proved refrac-
tory, and horses were temporarily sub
stituted for it.
Meanwhile, the railway officials call
ed in a practical engineer from the
United States, who announced that the
engine, which was thought to be hope
lessly unmanageable, was in good or
der and required only plenty of wood
and water. His opinion proved cor
rect, for after little practice the en-
gine attained the extraordinary speed
of 20 miles an hOur.-Youth's Com

Wooden Orchestra.

There exists in Brianza, in Lom-
hardy, n unique orchestra, or, more
properly speaking, a band, the instru-
ments of which are all made of wood.
The pipes are made of reeds, and are
fastened together side by side after the
fashion of those seen in the pictures
of the god Pan. Each man plays pipes
of different size and length, the bass
pipe often being several feet long. Be-
sides the pipes are other instruments,
such as drums, flutes, French horns
and even a rude attempt at a from
bone, but all are made of wood.
The members of this odd band are
all quite ignorant Of written scores;
but they have quick and sensitive ears,
since their harmony is purely instinc-
tive. Curiously enough they most oft
en- learn their selections from that
most modern of inventions, the phono-
graph. The music produced by this
curious band is said to have a curious,
weird harmony that is decidedly agree
