 Did you have any mail this morning, dear?"
 "Only a circuar,' he answered he bit into a fine brown slice of toast.
 Huh" said the wife. By the way, did you mail the letters I gave you yesterday"

cations prepared by John Meigs, con-
sulting engineer for the board
Mr.. Meigs had expected to attend the

missioners today, but was unable TO do
so. The Harbor Commissioners in
spected the detailed Specifications, and
the plans Of the produce wharf, sent in
by Mr.. Melgs. This wharf will be the
first step in the development of the
port of Wilmington. The plans show
frontage on the Christiana OF concrete
docks, with many moOring posts. The
runvays will be hinged to move up and
down. There are steps TO give conven-
lent access TO the small boats at low
tide. The plans show two large shell
ter sheds. These are designed to give
protection to produce unloaded from
the boats while awaiting removal from
the wharf by commission houses or
other consignees. These houses will
be built on the unit plan Of construc-
iion, so they can be easily enlarged,
unit by unit. The plans also call for
granolithic sidewalks and for grass
plots.

CITY MAY HAVE
LAFAYETTE STREET

President Sparks Of the Board Of
Street and Sewer Directors, today ex-
pressed approval of a letter in a local
paper asking that a street be nameo
after Lafayette a street more fitting
for such a name than the obscure road
bed now called Lafayette street. Pres
ident Sparks asked that such recon-
mendation be placed on the calendar.
Wilson street, in the city, is not
named after the President. The Street
and Sewer Directors think a street
named after Woodrow Wilson should
come in the presidential sequence of

The sugar situation confronting
the United States is described by
the food administration as follows:
1.-THE sugar supplies throughout
the country are at low ebb. The pro-
duction from the American beet and
disappointing; the yield in Porto
Rico has been smaller than antici-
pated; and the inability of the Unit
ed States and the allies to secure
sugar from Java and other distant
sources because of the imperative
call for ships for the movement Of
troops and their supplies has mater
tally reduced the supply from such
quarters.
1.-THE quantity needed by the army
and navy greatly exceeds earlier es-
Inmates; we must send large
amount to France and Italy to take
the place of the great volume lost
through the German and Austrian
invasions. during which much beet
land was overrVn and many fac
tories destroyed we have to supply
certain quantities to neutral nations
under agreements; and finally more
than fifty million pounds were lost
recently through submarine sinkings
off our Atlantic coast"
The statement says that, while
sugar is often used as a luxury in
America it has become an essential
element for the success of the war
among the nations of Europe.
To assure equitable distribution Of
the sugar the American public is to
be allowed. the food administration
has worked out a scheme Of alloca-
ton to the states based on popula-
ton and the needs of sugar using
industries in the states. Each state
food administrator will have charge
of the distribution in his state.
