proper balance between the rights
This plan was favorably re-
ceived by the SUGAR refining in
dustry. which had been on a war
basis almost f-ora the beginning
Of the European War.
The war had brought the Allies
into the Cuban market. resulting
i'm severe domestic and interua-
tional competition with no in
creased supplies. Naturally
prices Of refined sugar. both to
the American public and to the
Allies, rose under this forced draft.
Domestic sugar refiners. since
the outbreak of the European War
not only have safesuarded the
United States supply but have
maintained the lowest sugar prices
i'm the world.
This brilliant record In due
largely TO the fact that sugar re-
filming is in the hands Of large
business units, with AN excess Of
refining capacity sufficient to sup
ply all domestic needs, and 80 far
all demands Of foreign countries.
I'm the spring of 1917 there was
serious attempt at the dizor-
sanization of the sugar refining
industry. following a long series
OF attempts ut destruction OF sugar
ships.
Accompanying these incidents
were widely circulated sensa-
tional reports predicting a sugar
famine and sugar shortage. caus-
Ing widespread apprehension.
Atthat time. even with the assur-
ance Of ample supplies on hand.
retail sugar prices rose in some
sections to 20 and Is cents a pound.
The efforts Of the American
Sugar Refining Company to allay
public alarm. to check boarding.
to accept a price less than that
which it could easily have Sc
cured. and to distribute its prod
uct fairly and evenly among the
trade. were Of real public service.
While there were great supplies
OF sugar in fcr-away Java which
ordinarily would have gone to
Europe. yet the necessity for sew
ms ships became SO great that
Europe turned to Cuba fcr even
larger supplies than previously.
It takes a cargo ship $50 days to
make round trip between Eng
land and Java, while a round trip
between England and Cuba can
be made in so days.
Under these circumstances
and seemingly TO avoid pay;nS
proposed United States war taxes
on refined sugar the European
Allies purchased in Cuba the
sugar which ordinarily would
have come to the United States
in the fall months.
These conditions. and especial
~ the necessity Of saving ships,
In war time and at all times it is
Of the public we serve.

led the United States and the
Allied Nations to urge upon the
sugar industry the adoption by
voluntary agreement of the
original Hoover plan. under the
authority of the Feed Control
Act passed August 10. 1917.
The canc-sugax refiners and the
beet-susay producers unanimously
agreed to the Hoover plan as q
patriotic act in the interest of the
American people and as an aid to
the Allies.
This is the Significance of the
appointment by the United States
Food Administration Of the Inter
national Sugar Com mittee to
which the Allies send representa-

and Canada, and to when the
United States contributes three
members.
Upon the success Of the opera
ton Of the International Sugar
Committee under the directions Of
the Allied Gove1 n.aents, actinS

ment Of the worlds sugar markets.
This plan is full of promise to
oil the nations party to the con.
vention.
IL is an assurance that sugar.
although comparatively cheap
in view Of war conditions. will not
by reason either Of competitive
or speculative activity be in
creased in wholesale price.
Sugar will become stabilized in

The marketing OF Domino Cane
Sugars in cartons and small cotton

SEES LITTLE IN ALHAMBRA
Writer Says Famous Building Elk
presses Mere Beauty, Without Any
Sense Of Power or Vigor

The Alhambra is on the shoulder of
a mountain. 1t overlooks the town.
Bart Kennedy writes in the Wide
World II was built by the Moors, and
! take il that it was built overlooking
the town for the usual reason. The
ruling Moors lived therein and they
wished to be in Il position to give the
nonruling Moors "what for" when they
became too critical, There is a lot of
human nature in ruling people just as
there is in ruled people, A beautiful
place this Alhambra. But to me its
architecture expressed decadence and
weakness. There was nothing strong
or massive about it. Whether a race
expresses truly its character in archi-
lecture or not is not for me to say. To
be able to give reliable opinion as to
this would necessitate the living of a
life that lasted through n couple of
thousand wears. But certainly the Al
hambra did not suggest power and
vigor Beauty, yes, and also fancy,
but nothing more.
But on the Cuesta de los Muertos
1.-THE hill of the dead, which was out
side the actual palace of the Alham-
bra, were three massive square towers.
They expressed strength. In them had
uved--centurie before-the Moham-
medan soldiers of the guard. These
towers impressed me and | often went
to see them in the moonlight for then
there seemed to be in their strength
and power some weird effect.

BUILT ON CORAL FOUNDATION
Keeling Island Group, in indian Ocean.
Mass of Varying colors Attrac-
tive to the Eye.

An oasis in the blue expanse of the
Indian ocean is the Keeling island
group, built inch upon inch of coral.
From far out ut sea the ragged outline
of the islands coconut palms can be
seen, now in forestlike thickness. and
again one tall, solitary palm silhou-
cited on the sky
Many times this is all that the ships
passengers see of the islands, for only
when the winds are low can ship put
In at the harbor. Ordinarily, heavy
winds send the waves crashing against
reef and beach and make the islands a
danger zone instead of a haven for
mariners.
Parts of the islands are thick with
matted underground, but below il all is
the coral foundation in the form of
sand and reefs of wonderful spreading
formations. The shapes of the coral
growth are fascinating in their variety.
Little imagination is needed to see In
them toadstools, oak trees, leaves and
snow crystals. Some are solid rock
while others are MS delicate as the out
shoots of bursting fireworks. The coll
ors, too, are like fading fireworks that
leave only suggestion of yellow
green and rose.
In contrast to the paleness of the
coral reefs. the inhabitants of the
pools and sea dazzle the onlooker with
their scales of vivid red and green
flashing through the clear water
Swordfish and sharks make fishing and
swimming hazardous.
The air is famed by great flocks of
birds of the eastern tropics who might
easily claim ownership of the islands
by reason of discovery by their ances-
tors. The birds long ago found the
islands ideal for nesting and time has
enlarged the colony, for there are few
human beings to disturb the feathered
owners-Chicago Daily News,
