Some Notable DiunatarIes.

Somewhere In the wilds of Afghan.
istan there Is an ameer who boasts of
as many high dignities as there are
days In the year, among them being
1.-THE Sovereign Of the Universe, whom
God created to be as accomplished as
the moon at her plentitude; whose eye
glitters like the northern star. a king
as spiritual as a ball is round, who,
when he rises, shades all his people,
and from under whose feet a sweet
odor is waited" But perhaps the most
remarkable title any monarch was ever
proud to w was borne by the king
of Monomotapa, whose praises were
sung by his court poets and musicians
as Lord of the Sun and Moon, Great
Magician and Great Thief"

Progress Of Civilization.

The insane asylum as it exists today
Is a modern institution. Time was
when people whose minds were dis
traught were permitted to mix with
the world except when they developed
Violent symptoms making them obvi-
ously dangerous, and then they were
confined, sometimes in chains, as If
they were wild beasts, with no pro-
vision for medical attendance and
physical comfort such as society ac-
cords them now. The modern attitude
toward the problem of the community's
responsibility for the care Of the in
sane attests the growth of human feel
ing and marks the progress of civiliza-
ton.

Float In Seas Of Own Makino.

Up In the deserts of California, hun
dreds of feet above sea level, scores
of great ships float In little seas Of
their own making. These are the gold
dredges. The parts are hauled over a
sage brush desert, and put together on
dry land. The navigable water begins
with a dry pit, in which the hull is as
sembled and calked. Water is brought
from some creek, then the great steam
shovel starts work, and presently the
dredge Is digging away into the soil
with her chain Of buckets, scooping 1t
out to a depth Of fifty or sixty feet,
and always increasing the size Of the
lake In which she floats.

prics, and their persistence has re-
duced Cuban demands by Is cents per
hundred. The price agreed upon is
about $4.60 per hundred pounds, I. o. b.
Cuba, or equal to about So duty paid
New York.
"This price should e~ventuate,"
Mr.. Hoover said, "to about $3.50
per hundred for refined sugarfrom
the ~refiners at seaboard points or
should place sugar In the hands Of
the at from 8H to 9
cents per pound, depending upon
locality and conditions Of trade, or
at from I to 2 cents below the
prices OF August last and from one.
half to a cent per pound cheaper
than today.
"There Is now an elimination of
speculation, extortionate profits, and
In the refining alone the American
people will save over $50, 5000 900 of
the refining charges last year. A part
Of these savings goes to the Cuban,
Hawaiian, Porto Rican and Lousianian
producer and part to the consumer.
Appeals to prejudice against the
food administration have been made
because the Cuban price Is "a cents
above that of 1917. 1t is said In effect
that the Cubans are at our mercy
that we could get sugar a cent lower.
Of producing sugar In Cuba last year
through our W agents In Cuba, and
we find 1t averages $3.50, while many
producers are at a higher level. We
found that an average profit Of at
least a cent per pound was necessary
in order to maintain and stimulate
production or that a minimum price Of
$4.37 was necessary, and even this
would stifie some producers.
1.-THE price ultimately agreed was %
cents above these figures, or about one
fifth Of a cent per pound to the Ameri-
can consumer, and more than this
amount has been saved by our reduc-
ton in %refners' profits. II we wish to
sti1e production In Cuba we could
take that course just at the time of all
times In our history when we want
production for ourselves and the al
lies. Further than that, the state de-
partment will assure you that such a
course would produce disturbances In
Cuba and destroy eve u present
supplies. but beyond all these material
reasons Is one of human justice. This
great country has no right by the
might Of its position to %strangle Cuba.
Therefore there Is no imposition
upon the American public. Charges
have been made before this commit,
tee that Mr.. Rolph endeavored to ben
eft the California refinery Of which he
was manager by this "a cent increase
In Cuban price. Mr.. Rolph did not fix
the price. 1t does raise the price to
the Hawaiian farmer about that
amount. 1t does not raise the profit OF
the California refinery, because their
charge for refining is, like all other re-
fners, limited to S1.30 per hundred
pounds, plus the freight differential on
the established custom Of the trade.
"Mr. Rolph has not one penny of In.
terest In that refinery"

Hoover said, ian examination y
made of tho cfStc opd nroats - -

Hoover said, ian examination Y
made Of the costs and profits Of re
Ing and 1t was finally determined Il.
the spread between the cost Of raw
and the sale of refined cane sugar
should be limited to $1.30 per hundred
pounds. The pre-war differential had
averaged about IS cents and increased
costs were found to have been impos-
ed by the war In increased cost of re-
fning, losses, cost of bags, labor, insur-
ance, interest and other things, rather
more than cover the difference. After
prolonged negotiations the refiners
were placed under agreement estab-
fishing these limits on October 1, and
anything over this amount to be agreed
extortionate under the law.
"In the course of these ~investiga-
tons 1t was found by canvass of the
Cuban producers that their sugar had,
during the first nine months of the
$4.24 per hundred f. 0. b. Cuba, to
which duty and freight added to the
refiners' cost amount to about $5.66
per hundred. The average sale price
Of %granulated by various refineries, &C.
cording to our investigation, was about
$3.50 per hundred, or a %differential Of
$1.S4.
"In reducing the differential to $1.30
there was a saving to the public OF 81
cents per hundred. Had such a diff
ferential been In use from the 1st OF
January, 1917, the public would have
saved In the first nine months OF the
year about $24,S 300, 000."
Next Year.
With a view to more efficient organ
Ization of the trade in imported sugars
next year two committees have been
formed by the food administration:
l. A committee comprising repre-
sentatives Of all of the elements of
American cane refining groups. The
principal duty of this committee Is to
divide the sugar imports pro rata to
their various capacities and see that
absolute justice Is done to every re-
finer.
2. A committee comprising three rep.
resentatives of the English, French
and Italian governments; two repre-
sentatives of the American ~re1ners,
with a member Of the food administra-
ton. Only two Of the committee have
arrived from Europe, but they repre-
sent the allied governments. The du-
ties Of this committee are to determine
the most economical sources from a
transport point Of view Of all the al
lies to arrange transport at uniform
rates, to distribute the foreign sugar
between the United States and allies,
subject to the approval Of the Ameri-
can, English, French and Italian gov
ernments. ,
This committee, while holding strong
views as to the price to be paid for
Cuban sugar. has not had the final
voice. This voice has rested in the
governments concerned, together with
the Cuban government, and I wish to
state emphatically that all Of the gen.
tlemen concerned as good commercial
men have e~ndeavored with the utmost
patience and skill to secure . lower

of the minister who prayed in Gaelic.
There was In Dublin an old lady both

to learn Hebrew most assiduously.
Though she was eccentric. and her
friends were rarely surprised at any

At this, and asked her the reason. ut
