USE OF SUGAR
CountyAdministrato Everett
Gives information Regard
ing Larger Use Of Sugar.

After Wednesday, May 18th, |
no manufacturer using sugar
will be allowed to purchase sugar
except upon certificates furnish
ed by the Food Administration,
according to County Food Ad-
ministrator w. N. Everett.
Mr.. Everett has just received
full information regarding this
new system of "rationing."
Every druggist, soda fountain,
candy manufacturer, bottling
works, commercial establish
ments for canning and preserv-
ing, ice cream manufacturers
in short every user of sugar ex-
cept the household, hotels, res
taurants and baking establish
ments, which are controlled by
other means, is affected by the
new plan.
For preserving, canning. max
ing ice cream, medicines and
other essential products, full
quantities of sugar required will
be allowed. Soda fountains, bot
ting works and similar industries
producing the less essential arti-
cles,only 80per cent of IT, : quaint
ity Of sugar they used last year.
If they began business after No
vember /, they will be allowed
only 50 per cent of their previous
consumption. No establishment
which has entered business since
April l or which has enlarged its
plant since April l, will be allow
ed any sugar at all.
The process by which the
manufacturers may secure sugar
after May 18th is as follows: Tney
must make application to the
Food Administration at Raleigh
for blanks upon which to make
detailed sworn statement of the
sugar they used last year. Upon
satisfying itself that this state
ment is correct the Food Admin
istration will determine the allot-
ment of sugar which such appli-
cant will be allowed to have and
will issue him certificates for the
quantity. The blanks for state
ments by merchants have already
been printed and can be secured
upon application to the Sugar
Distribution Division of the Food
Administration at Raleigh.
Food Administrator Page has
announced that any violations of
the new rules and regulations
governing the sales of sugar will
be dealt with promptly and dras-
tically; and about the best that
any dealer or user of sugar can
expect if they violate the law isl
to be put out of business during
the period of the war. All sugar
rehners, brokers, jobbers, and re-
tailers are subject to the new rul-|
eS.
The new plan of "rationing"
manufacturers using sugar will
in no wise affect the present rul-
ing of the Food Administration
governing retail sales of sugar to
consumers or the sales of sugar
to individuals who have a legiti-
mate demand for it for canning
and preserving purposes. The
whole plan is designed to as
sure a sufficient supply for these
purposes ana it is the non-essent-
lal or less essential industries
which have to get along with re-
duced supplies such as soft drink
fountains and bottling works.

VELOCITY OF BIG SHELLS
ceometer Uses Problem Of How Long
Time Is Required for Stone to
Fall to Center Of Earth.

Studying the velocity Of shells and
bullets fired in the war led Maurice
SAUCER, a French geometer, to turn
to the old question Of the time II
would take stone to fall to the center
of the earth. His conclusion was that
1t would take about 20 minutes "a sec
onds.
Gassenddi, who gave the subject
much thought in the last century, made
the time 20 minutes even. Mersenne
on the other hand contended that SIX
hours would be required.
SAUCER says that as the stone ap-
preached the center Of the earth II
would be drawn downward by the core
Of the earth and upward by the shell
which it had already penetrated. The
rate at which the density Of the earth
varies or increases as we penetrate TO
greater depths Is unknown. Sauger's
formula is based upon considerations
of the moment of inertia Of the earth,
as calculated from the procession OF
the eouinoxes, which agree with OBJ
seryations on the density of the earth
conducted in mine shafts.
IF shaft were driven right through
the earth the stone would appear at the
Antipodes after 3S minutes 80 seconds
and then return to its starting point,
at which it would make its reappear-
ance at the end of hour IL minutes.

YANKS MAKE new GAIN
U. S. Troops Attack Huns West
of FismeS.
Americans Wiped Out Position Held
by Enemy Snipers-German
Counter-Attack Falls.

With the American Army in France,
Aug. 23.-The Americans made a
local attack west of FismeS on the
Vesle river between scissors and
Reims at night. The attack made the
Vesle holdings more secure and also
resulted in the cleaning out of a po-
sition from which German snipers had
been causing the Americans consider
able annoyance. The attack was pre-
coded by barrage.
The Germans made a counter-attack
at daylight in an endeavor to offset
the American success. The Americans,
however, killed number of the Ger
mans, made II prisoners, and forced
the remainder to flee in disorder.
Patrol encounters between the Amer
leans and Germans have been frequent
in the Vosges mountains. The town
of Frapelle. captured several days
ago by the Americans, is still under
high explosive shells and gas prOjec-
tile attacks, but these are gradually
leSSening as the hopelesSness Of re-
taking the town becomes apparent.
With the American Forces in France,
Aug. 23.-Two bombing fights were
carried out by American aviators on
the towns Of Longuyon and Audun-
Le-Roman, northeast of Verdun.
Bombs were successfully dropped on
railroad tracks and roundhouses.
Three American reconnaissance
planes encountered and attacked three
German machines near Wayrille, to
the north of Verdun. One German
plane was forced down with its tank
ON fire and the others were driven
away. The Americans returned to
their bases safely.
Another reconnaissance formation
met six Rumpler monoplanes near
Thiaucourt. Three of the German air.
planes attacked Lieutenant Urband,
who was taking photographs. The
lieutenant opened fire and hit one Ger
man machine, which spiraled sharply
downward and disappeared at 1000
feet. .-s-s4.

Upon the Ailette front the sudden
attack of the French caused the re-
treat of division of German reserves
which had been preparing for coun-
ter-blow. In it's retreat it precipitated
a panic in the ranks of second divi-

papers here.
Watch Foe Retreat.
From the heights Of LIE Plemont on
the Disc front the French troops are
now watching the Germans in their re-
treat toward the north.
The capture of Lassigny, an official
communication says, made the position
on LIE Plemont untenable as it was
turned from the north and General
Humbert's army took the position,
writing one of the most glorious pages
in French history.
