SUGAR FAMINE |MPER|LS.
SODA FOUNTAIN TRADE
May Close Down if August Allot.
ment Is>Rot Allowed by
Food Administration.

sMany soda fountains in Washington
are likely to be closed down shortly II
their proprietors do not soon receive
their August sugar allotment. Beverage
manufacturers, candy makers and others
using sugar for less essential purposes
also are in danger Of having to suspend
operation temporarily at least until
they are allotted the sugar that the ad-
ministration considers they are entitled
to use during the month starting last
Wednesday.
Proprietors of soda fountains have
been reaping a harvest since the closing
of the saloons. and the great influx of
war workers. Many new fountains
have sprung up, especially in the down.
town sections. and all appeared to be
fourishing.
The first blow to this thriving en-
terprise came when the sugar sup
ply was cut down June 1 to so per
cent of normal requirement. Neces-
sity for still greater sugar saving
then made it necessary to restrict
these so-called less essential business
es to so per cent of their sugar re-
quirements. This cut was put into
effect July 1.
BY using substitute sweetenings and
otherwise conserving their sugar the
fountains and other less essential in
dustries have been endeavoring to
take care of their ever-increasing
patronage, until now their July sugar
allotment is about exhausted. Many
concerns are in a serious way unless
their August supply is soon appor-
toned to them.

NURSES SORELY NEEDED
Surgeon General Gorgas Asks Red
Cross to Enroll 1000 Week
for Next Two Months.

An urgent call to the American
Red Cross to enroll 1000 nurses a
week for the next two months for
immediate duty with the Army Nurse
Corps was issued yesterday by Sur
geon General Gorgas.
The army is growing faster than
the nurse corps. the statement by
Surgeon General Gorgas said. AS
troops overseas enter the front line
trenches in greater numbers need
for nurses will grow more pressing.
Trained nurses may apply for serv-
ice at local chapters of the Red
Cross, and if found satisfactory will
be assigned to duty at once. either in
the base hospitals in this country or
overseas. 1t was emphasized that
nurses enrolling in the Army Nurse
Corps are members of the United
States Army and work directly under
officers of the medical department of
the Army.

STRIKERS NOT AFFECTED
BY "WORK OF FIGHT" RULE
Richmond Draft Board Receives
Decision to That Effect From
Gen. Crowder.

RICHMOND. Va, August 3-Strik-
ers are not subject to the work or
fight" rule. according to the decision
received by the local draft board
from Provost Marshal General Crow
der. When the express men here went
on strike several weeks ago because
of dispute as to wages and hours
the local draft boards Immediately
sent cards to the men calling them
for army service. The strike was ad-
justed in a day and half.
The matter of receiving the mill
tary service cards was put up to
Gen. Crowder. whose ruling came today,
in which it is held the draft boards
had no authority to step in. and since
the military regulations are not in
tended to be used to affect such labor
controversies, unemployment by rea-
son of strikes will not be regarded as
such unemployment as will cancel
their exemption or deferred classifi-
cation"
