To Decide on Bids.-Highway
Commissioner J. Denny O'Neil will
decide this. week whether to ask for
bids again for the construction of
the six sections of highway on which
bids were opened Tuesday or wheth-
er the prices justify awards for the
work. Since Tuesday the bids have
been in hands of engineers who have
been studying them and If 1t is
found that any on which bids, have
been asked before and which, were
not satisfactory are apt to prove too
expensive nothing will be done.
Several state officials are said to fa-
vor curtailment of highway and 9TH
er work where prices are not right
and to avoid advertising costs. Next
month bids will be opened for thirty
miles of road in seven counties and
for tons of dynamite with appliances
to make it work on road work,

 Certainly says the newspaper which is the Vatican organ, "the Holy See saw with legitimate satisfaction that President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George, put as a, basis of pos sible peace negotiations and future settlement of Europe thoso very points contained in the appeal of the Holy Father last August to the heads of the bel1igcrent peoples.
 These points were Intended. not as articles for a concrete treaty of peace but as fundamental points for start ing negotiations.
 The Osservatore Romano continues with a warning that the pleasure felt by the Holy See in seeing harmony sistiDg between the Pontificial pro- posals and tic Anglo-American state ments does not mean that the Vatican will exercise any pressure on eithe.' group with the view to supporting g their concrete propositions. as this would mean violation of the princi- pie of fmparts Iity

WOMEN CONTINUE
 TO DO THEIR BIT
Surgical Dressings Workers Con- plete Report for Two Months

Further evidence that women of New Britain are in this war to the last ditch is furnished by the report of the Surgical Dressings committee, auxiliary of the Red Cross society, for the months of November and De- cember, completed today The report follows.

beet-SuGar prOd1cefS SunarimCuSly agreed to the Hoover plan as a patriotic act in the interest of the American people and as an aidto 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 send representa- lives 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 readiust- ment of the worlds sugar markets.
 This plan is full of promise to all the nations party to the con- vention.
 1t 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, ref1ners and merchants to maintain and stimulate produc- ton and to cover the cost of re- fininS and of distribution.
 The marketing of Domino Cane Sugars HI cartons and small cotton bags by this Company has helped mazinSly during the pinch of the fan months in giving a wide distribution among the retailers of the reduced sugar supplies.
 While barrel formerly was the unit of the grocer the same amount of sugar put up i'll cartons and small cotton bags can now be di- vided between two or more Srocers and so serve a larger number of people and prevent hoardinS.
 It will be necessary for srocers and consumers to watch carefully their distribution and purchases during the approaching period of readjustment. 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. ,ur aim to safeguard the interests efia,irae Company ith Domino

tioral competition with no in- creased supplies. Naturally prices of refined sugar, both to the American public and to the Allies, rose under this forced draft.
 Domestic sugar refiners. since the outbreak of the European War not only have Safesuarded the United States supply but have maintained the lowest sugar prices in the world.
 This brilliant record is due largely to the fact that sugar re- finins is in the hands of large business units, with an excess of refining capacity sufficient to sup ply all domestic needs, and so far all demands of foreign countries.
 Tn the spring of 1917 there was a serious attempt at the disor- 6anization of the sugar refining industry. following long series of attempts at destruction of sugar ships.
 Accompanying these incidents were widely circulated sensa- tional reports predicting a sugar famine and sugar shortage, caus- ing widespread apprehension.
 At that time, evenwith the assur- ance of ample supplies on hand, retail sugar prices rose i'll some sections to 20 and 25 cents a pound.
 The efforts of the American Sugar Refining Company to allay public alarm, to check hoardin8. 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 to Europe, yet the necessity for saw ing ships became so great that Europe turned to Cuba for even larger supplies than previously.
 It takes a cargo ship 150 days to make a round trip between Eng land and Java. while round trip between England and Cuba can be made in 50 days.
 Under these circumstances and seemingly to avoid paying proposed United States war taxes on refined sugar the European Allies purchased in Cuba the sugar which ordinarily would have come to the United States in the fall months.
 These conditions, and especial Ky. the necessity of saving ships,
