ALDERMEN, STOP THIS
Help Your Constituents BY Abat-
ing a Nuisance.

The Chicago City Council owes 1t
to the million Of people who attend
moving picture theaters in Chicago to
put a curb on the people who disturb
others in the audience by carrying on
conversations while the play is on
the screen.
These know.it.alls and leather
lunged idiots are to be found in every
theater in Chicago, to the annoyance
of everybody else.
The Chicago City Council 20 years
ago, on the initiative of Alderman N.
M. Plotke, passed an ordinance pro-
hibiting women from wearing hats in
theaters and thus obstructing the
view of other people.
The smart Alexis laughed at this
ordinance at frst-especially the
smart Aleck daily press--but the city
enforced It and today II is the rule in
every theater in America.
A good healthy fine for takers dur.
ing acts in Movie theaters would
conserve much wind that Is used now
to annoy respectable theater patrons.

OVER IS per cent. Of the sugar used in the United

about 100000 tons of beet sugar and 100000 tons of

makes about 4.250 900 tons of refined sugar.

Under such circumstances there is doubt that the
American people weuld get along this limited supply
without complaint.
The United States Food Administration is asking
every American household to not more than two
pounds of sugar per person each month for domestic
USE Reducing sugar consumption here means that
will be able to help supply the needs of France, Eng
land and Italy. Sugar conservation on the American
table also means conservation of ships.

These tank attacks have something

them. They are calculated to brighten

has been occupied at any similar
meeting in several months The en-
tire oficial White House family at
tended. including Secretary of the
Treasury William G. McAdoo and Sec
retary Of State Robert Lansing. both
of whom have been absent for many
weeks.
Secretary McAdoo, just back from
an extended tour Of the country which
carried him as far West as the Pacific
coast, is understood to have reported
that the nation stands solidly behind
the presidents program. He IL also
said to have made a number OF i'm
portant suggestions bearing on the re-
lations of the new man-power bill
which will include men OF eighteen tc
forty-ive years of age in the draft
to the industries Of the country.
No details are available. but 1t was
definitely stated the president and his
advisers agreed the new law should

ductiveness OF the nation. or to dis
turb general business conditions. This
thought appeared to be still upper.

Baker at the epnclnsiop Of tho con.
4erencs when he repeated the FOL
lowing announcement:
I've have stopped voluntary
enlistments IN both the army and
the navy pending q rc-classifica-
ton of the man-power OF the
country under the new bill for the
sole purpose of steadying indus
try. Without such . precaution
many men now engaged In vital
work who may never be called
into active military service would
have an inducement to leave their
places. Everybody can better
serve the country by retaining
their Positions until the call
comes"
Secretary Daniels read to the cabi.
net all Official reports bearing on the
operations OF the enemy submarines
which have recently appeared agar
on this side Of the Atlantic. The con-
sensus Of the conference Is said K
have been that the German pirate
vessels should be regarded as less OF
menace on this side OF the ocear
than on the other side as long as the,
avoid the transport lanes. This of7icia
conclusion Is understood to be baset
