$50 miles IL the hydroplane had sufii-
cient gasoline for a longer flight
The hydroplane, after taking OF
from the Anacostia station, kept In
constant touch with the Washington
office. During the entire flight the
voice of the operator in Washington
could be readily recognized by the
hydroplane radio operator, although
modulated in an ordinary conversa-
tional tone.
The seaplane used in the tests was
an H S. 2 training plane, equipped
with radio facilities. 1t was piloted
by Ensign c. d. Palmer and carried
Ensign B. Merrick as radio operator.
As soon as perfected the radio tele-
phone will be installed on the hydro
planes in the navy service. 1t will
eventually. IT is believed, abolish the
necessity OF land radio stations and
will lessen the dangers OF aerial fight.
Arrangements are being made to equip
the planes now flying in the mail serv-
ice between the Anacostia Naval Air
Station and the Hampton Roads
hangers with this telephone.

High cost of living in Washing won
a far-famed victory in routing one
William Gibbs McAdoo from official
life.
1t is interesting to note how Nc
Adoo's successor as secretary of the
Treasury, Carter Glass. will deal with
it.
His plan is very simple.
Glass will continue to live in the
Raleigh Hotel. where he has lived for
eight years, while the McAdoos strove
to maintain a fashionable house in
Sixteenth street, the most fashion
able street in the world.
Mrs. Glass Prefers Oia Farm.
The Raleigh Hotel is on PennsyI-
vanla avenue The Glass apartment
is corner suite on the seventh floor
-parlor, bedroom and bath.
From the windows one can look
down on a stretch of avenue and on
the heads of more famous men than
in any other place unless it be Yer
sailles. But the management of the
hotel says it does not charge anything
extra for that sort of thing, merely
a fiat rate of s12 day for the suite
But it is presumed Glass gets a re-
duction. as he rents the apartment
on a yearly basis.
IN one has mind for figures it
Will be seen that this compares well
with the $4,000 yearly rental McAdoo
pays for his house Glass pays less
than half as much as McAdoo paid.
Mrs Glass is fond of their farm
home near Lynchburg. Va. Although

of candy and

stricted by the food administra-
ton during the next four months
in order to provide a reserve of
sugar to carry US thru the can
ming season.
At present receipts of sugar are
running Just level with consump-
ton. No reserve Is on hand.
One of the essentials in our
food program, however, is that
every bit Of fruit possible to save
by canning be saved-and the
canning Of fruit requires sugar.
Candies and soft drinks were
held the least essential of any OF
our uses of sugar. Therefore
candies and soft drinks will be re-
stricted or even abolished entirely
for a time.
Ice cream does not fall within
the ban, because a considerable
part of our summer production Of
milk goes into it, and to cut out
its manufacture to save sugar
would cause a greater loss by the
waste that would result in the
dairying industry.

CORN WILL WIN DEM0CRACY'SWAR
America's Greatest Cereal Crop Is Now Moving to
 Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
 ened Europe.

America's great corn crop, exceed. Ing 5000, 100000 bushels, will save the worlds food situation, officials of the United States food administration be- lieve.
 Corn is the nations best food cereal, housewives are beginning to realize. It contains all the elements needed to keep the body in state of health and when used according to the scores of tried recipes, especially when con- bined with an added portion of oil or fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In. dian warriors in colonial days lived on parched corn alone for many days at time, and at Valley Forge parched corn was at times the sole ration of the Continental soldiers.
 Owing to transportation difficulties caused by the war the corn crop moved more slowly to market this year than ever before. Now, however, the cereal is reaching the millerS and consumers. In the meantime the nations surplus wheat has been sent to Europe.
 Today there are approximately 3O bushels of corn for every American. This quantity is greater by five bush- els than in former years.
 Corn has become the nations main stay in the crisis of war.
 Just as this cereal saved the first American colonists from famine on many occasions, just as it served as a staple food during the War of the Rev olution and during the Civil War, King Corn has again come to the front in the nations battle with autocracy.
 Corn meal is finding greatly increas- ed use in the making of ordinary white bread. Hundreds of housewives and many of the larger bakers are mixing 20 per cent. corn meal with wheat flour to make leavened bread. This kind of mixture is worked and baked in the same recipes and with the same methods that apply to straight wheat bread.
 Corn bread-using corn meal entire ly-is gaining greater popularity than ever before. Housewives are coming to realize that every pound o1 wheat saved in America means a pound of wheat released for shipment to the nations with which America is asS0ci ated in the war.
 There are a score of corn products that today possess unusual importance for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes and for use in the kitchen instead oi granulated sugar is one of the leading products made from corn.
 Corn oil, excellent for frying and fol every other purpose filled by salad oils Is appearing on the market i'll large quantities. It comes from the germ ol the corn.
