Glance of going well on the western

acrobatics in the air" said Colonel Lee
The so called danger Of flying lies
not with those who do stunts in the
ar, but with those who cannot do
them. All evoutions have to be
shown to the pupil by stages and
there should never be q position in
which the airplane can be placed from
which q pilot cannot with ease rec
tity it, knowing exactly what he is
doing. Unless a pilot can turn his
machine any way and every way at
any time in order to maneuvcr for po-
5tion all the straight flying in the
world will not help him when he has
to fight.
Formation flying Is one Of the most
Important things of modern day flying,
but it must be borne in mind that as
soon as formation of approximately
her own strength is met and general
action ensues, it is individuality and
capabilty OF the individual flyers
which will win.
Not Showing Off
1t is not a question of showing off
the aerial stunts or Of pretending to
do anything which someone else can
not do. 1t is only meant to show that
the airplane can be made to maneu-
yer quickly In the air with great ease
ard with perfect safety. No pilot
should be sent overseas who cannot
do all these things and more. If he
cannot do them, he will be shot down
sooner or later"

CAUSE FOR SHORTAGE OF SUGAR OF
TWO MILLIONS TONS is EXPLAINED BY
u. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

If any man has failed to see the
reason why he should cut his plen-
tiful apportionment of two spoon
fuls OF sugar to the one of war
time, he can find il in a recent pub
LEGATION of the United States re-
partment of agriculture explaining
the worldwide shortage especial
ly the shortage among the allies
in the supply of sweets
Not only has the supply of sugar
in some parts of the United States
been short, but there has been an
actual shortage of more than 2,000,-
00C tons annually in the world since
the war began, and the shortage is
likely to continue, the publication
says, primarily because of the de-
structiOn OF large number of su-
gar mills and the devastation of a
considerable area of sugar produc-
ing lands in Europe.
Prior to the war practically all
the belligerent countries, with the
exception of the United Kingdom
and Italy. exported sugar, the total
amount being upward of 100000
tons. War, however, has changed
the sugar-production map and at
the same time has shifted the chan
nels of trade. In 1918 it is esti-
mated that the allies must import
minimum of 100000 tons OF
sugar.
Formerly the United Kingdom
and France depended to a consid-

for sugar. These sources are shut
OFF by the war The United KING
dom alone thus lost the source OF
more than half of her normal sup
ply of sugar and has turned to new
as well as older sources for her
supply The changes thus brought
about have been largely a diversion
of the product of Mauritius to the
United Kingdom instead OF to In
ola, and an expansion of the inn
ports OF unrefined sugar from Cuba,
the Philippines, and Peru. For re-
fined sugar she drew upon the
United States and Java. However.
the allies cannot turn to such ex-
porting countries as Java and Maui
ritius without being forced TO go a
much longer distance and over a
more perilous route than across the
Atlantic. If the allies are com
PEELED to go to these countries it
will require an extra amount of
shipping which is needed for trans
portation of American soldiers and
supplies to France and England
Russia's exports practically
ceased in 1914, and she is now re-
ported as somewhat short of SUI
gar. Italy's crop decreased last
year and her imports have increas-
ed largely since the war began.
Italy's normal consumption, how
ever, is small and her deficit is not
serious.

THE Northern Steamboat Co. was
unable to find profitable employ
