WHAT IS A cENTLENANg
(By DR.. Frank Cranel

10y LII. rTduh 1EaIcf
A gentleman is man who Il
gentle.
First you have man. that Is to
say he is manly. strong. fearless
his gentIeness Is not due to weakness
cowardice or any such thing. but 70
self restraint, to his having such a
surplus of power that he has power
over himself.
He is, as the Latin phrase has ii.
s'suaviter in modo. fortiter in re.
suave in method, but unyieIding in
the matter itself.
Shakespeare indicated the same
idea In his lines.
20, it rs excellent
To have giants strength. but. it
is tyrannous
To use it like a giant
The strong man who Is harsh, I'M
feeling, proud and profane. is not
strong enough. The edge of his eff
ficiency is rusted with egotism.
The touch of mastery is light. The
hand that is sure is delicate. Coarse
ness. boasting and cruelty indicate
little rotten spot of fear in the
heart. The bully is always a cow
ard.
The great men of the world are
like the worlds great forces, silent
and smooth. Gravitation makes no
noise, but grasps the flying spheres.
The sun is quiet. yet 1t moves all
the rivers. pushes the sap through all
plants. and is the central engine of
all earthly light and force The thun-
der is but the edge and offal of

FOOD ADMINISTRATION


Little Rock, July s1.-The ration
ing plan for sugar for August Will
90 into effect tomorrow. The allot-
ment has been reduced all over the
United States to two pounds per
person per month. Hotels and al
other public eating places will be re-
duced to two pounds per ninety
meals. Manufacturers of less essen
tiaIs, such as candy and soft drinks,
will be unable to procure any high
grade sugar whatever. They will
have to use what is known as "sec
onds and thirds" and Arkansas job
bers are striving to get that class OF
sugar into the state from Louisiana.
The total allotment of sugar for
August is 3,895,000 pounds. That
amount is exactly 1,667,000 pounds
less than given the state during July.
The utmost conservation is demand
ed of the people, states an announce
ment from State Food Administrator
Hamp Williams.
Will Protect Home Gamers
Sugar for canning will be given
those needing it for that purpose,
Prompt arrest on the charge of
boarding will follow if. proof is es-
tablished sugar was falsely ordered
for canning and not used to save
fruit or food. Prosecution will also
result where it is proved anyone
bought more than their two pounds
allotment.
Hotels, restaurants and other pub
lie eating places will receive for
their August allotment just one-third
of what they got during July. Retail
stores will also be given less sugar.
Their supply for August will be 70
to 30 per cent, depending on con-
ditions of the respective localities.
On all dining cars instructions have
been given to serve not more than
two half Jumps or one teaspoonful
of sugar to each person. That por-
ton for each person is requested in
all public eating places in the state.
In an appeal to the people of Arkan-
sas to save sugar, Mr. Williams
says:
More Precious Than Gold
"Sugar today is more precious
than gold. 1t is question of which
cup you will drop your allowance in
the one you hold or that held out
by the American soldier in France.
AS the government needed flour a
few months ago, it needs the sugar

ment is doing in this respect and

Recall Argentine Attaches
from Berlin and Vienna Posts
Buenos Ayres Is Again Tense

Buenos Ayres, Feb 1.-The minister
Of war has recalled Argentina's Mill
tary attaches from Berlin and Vienna.
In nolitical circles this action is re
garded as significant and connected
with the sinking of the Argentine
steamship Minstro Irriendo January 20.
Flying Argentine Flag
The Argentine minister to france
has confirmed the fact that the steam
ship was flying the Argentine nag
whom sunk. The government has not
announced by what authority the
change of flags was made alter ieiiV-
ing this .country-the vessel having
sailed under the French faS-but ac-
cents the sinkings as an unfriendly act,
oven though the use of The home flag
vas unauthorized The assumption III
po,itical circles here is that Germany
does not intend to keep her promises
in regard to Argentina's shipping.
Situation Again Tense
The situation here is tense and the
authorities are mointainng more IMAM
their usual silence on the subjects, but
several events at the government house
late today led to the belief that the
government at last is preparing 70 take
ar important step.

cant SAYS that the Argentine govern
ment has followed all the phases OF the

These notes and the simultaneous
recall Of the military attaches from
Berlin and Vienna are regarded as in
d;cating that the country is verging on
a crisis in its international relations.
