Colonial Beach Wharf
Planned for New Boats

Final plans for the erection Of a
wharf at Colonial Beach, Va, will be
announced at a meeting Of the Col
onial Beach Society to be held tomor-
row evening in the west study Of the
Public Library. The wharf is to be
erected for the use of the Baltimore
boats Of the Maryland. Delaware &
Virginia Railroad, which have re-
Gently been procured for the beach
through the efforts Of the society.
The present TRANSPORTATION service
to the beach is inadequate-the larg-
est boats can not accommodate more
than 200 passengers. The proving sta
-tion for long-range guns located near
the beach has greatly increased the
number Of passengers that the boats
must transport, and II Is thought that
the new service will not only improve
conditions, but bring a large number
Of summer visitors to the beach.

SUGAR ALLOTMENT
IS BUT ONE-TH|RD
Two Pounds Per Person Per Month 10
Ration For August-Sut is Made
Necessary BY Present Critical
Shortage.

: Columbia.-Two pounds Of sugar
per month per person.
That is the allotment for the month
Of August.
Because Of the present critical sit
uation as regards the sugar supply, the
Food Administration has found is
necessary to cut down the ration from
three pounds per month per person to
two pounds per month per person.
In further limiting the sugar sup
ply for home use, the Food Admins
tration calls attention to the fact that
already the makers of soft drinks and
candy have been cut down to so per
cent of their normal supply, or so per
cent of their consumption last year.
Hotels, restaurants and public eat
ing places are likewise further limit
ed. Public eating places may not buy
more than two pounds Of sugar for
every 80 meals served
Sugar bowls are disappearing from
the tables Of public eating places, and
the sugar furnished guests and Gus
toners is carefully measured.
It becomes necessary, therefore, for
the home consumers to cut down the
consumption OF sugar. Only a certain
amount has been allotted to South Car
olina for the month. The merchants
cannot buy more than q certain
amount. Unless there is the most rig.
I'd economy practieed in the use OF
sugar in the home, there will be su-
garless meeIs before, September l. =
Two pounds per month per: person,
That is the allotment. That is twice
as much az the people Of. fighting
France or the people Of Italy are al.
lowed-when they can get sugar at
all. !. !
= The Food Administration makes
these suggestions to save sugar. 80,
Do not leave sugar in the bottom of
coffee cup.
Substitute molasses or corn syrup
for part of sugar used in cooking.
Make cakes without frosting.
Use fruits for dessert in the place
Of dishes requiring sugar. 81. ,%,,@
Cut down the use Of candy and
sweet drinks. They are luxuries.
Portion the sugar used on the table.
