WASHINGTON, December 2s.-Pa-
'riotism IN the cafes and restaurants
these days is reaching prodigious pro-
portions. 1t docs not stop at meatless
and whcatlcss days. Indeed. no.
American eating houses disdatn such
small sacrifices for their country. If
food must DO conserved thcy believe
in doing 1t properly. In time of war,
ono oyster is enough for an oyster
o'e: to be thoroughly patriotic. grape
lemon: an order of ice cream should
resemble snowflake. and string beans
should be served by the piece.
1t Is quite understood by every
body, OF course, that tho cafes and
restaurants OF the nation must take
an active part in food conservation.
Before the war they represented tho
industry whose solo purpose was to
sell food Incredible quantities of
food are handled by tho hotel cafes
alone. which might easily lead to In
credible waste IL carelcssly used
Hence. when cafes and restaurants are
careful to waste none Of the products
needed by American and allied soldiers
they are performing very necessary
patriotic duty.
Portions Too Dainty.
But there arc certain things the
need-things that could not be shipped
"""d them. For ex-
ample. tho food commission does not
anticipate the shipment of any great
quantities of oysters. nor fish, nor let
tucc. nor oranges. nor turnips So far
as can be aScertained there is no par
ticular reason why the cafes should be
SO extremely economical In the use OF
tnesc products; maybe they are 10
from force of habit. But the fact re-
mains that diners-out arc now some
tunes finding 1t necessary to order

NATIONS NORMAL SUPPLY
TO BE ATTAINED ERE LONG
Fifty Fer Cent Allotment Of Sugar to
Sonfectioncrs VIII he Increased
to Eighty Per Cent.
[By Aesociatcd PresyI

WASHINGTON. January IA return
TO normal sugar supply for tho ma
ton is not likely to be LONE deferred.
the food administration announced to-
night In outlining plans under which
an increased allotment OF sugar will BIO
made TO confcctioncrs and manufacture
crs OF nonessential food products con.
tanning sugar.
The 80 per cent allotment to which
confcctioners were limited when the
sugar shortage became acute in Octo-
Der. Will be increased to so per cent
when the supply again becomes normal,
II was announced. but continuance Of
this ratio will depend upon the efforts
OF manufacturers to reduce the sugar
drinks by substituting other swcetcn-
ing materials.
Through a misunderstanding, food
administration officials in New York
last week announced that refners al
ready had been instructed to Increase
the allotment to confectioncrs to so
per cent, and that the full pre-war al
iowancc would be made when condi-
tons had returned to normal. 1t was
explained tonight that the maximum
allotment would be so per cent OF
normal, and that all manufa cturcrs
would be required to reduce the sugar
content of their products as far as pos
sible.
The so per cent limit has worked
but little hardship on the manufacture
ers Of confectionery and sweet drinks"
said the food administrations an
nouncement. "as they had on hand sup
plies sufficient to keep their plants
working at almost normal capacity for
several months 1t did. however. bene-
fit the sugar supply in general by pre-
venting the possible accumulation OF
larger quantities than wcrc necessary
for immediate use"

Figures Tell Richmond's Growu.

+ IGURES unerringly tell the story Of Rich
mond's material well-being during the
past twelve months. The year 1917 brought
to thousands OF local hores grief at parting
with those who go TO war, and individual
instances OF hardship and privation, but to
tho city whole it was period OF pros
pcrity such never before had been known.
lie! the figures tell.
Richmond's death rate was lowered 10 l $50
per thousand, setting a new record, While tho
actual number OF deaths was 80 less than
during tho preceding ycar--a notable tribute
TO the efficiency OF the Health Depar tment
and its interchangeable aids, the visiting nurses.
The post-oftice, that sensitive barometer
OF trade and commerce, leaped into tho
.million-dollar class, with total receipts of
S1,051.l41.GI. as compared with its pre-
vious years total OF s967,104.75.
Manufacturing and tho jobbing trade pre-
sent remarkable Increases Tho total num-
her OF manufacturing plants stands at
o,223, compared with 2,l03 in 1916.
They represent g combined capital OF S36,-
614,7SG and their sales were s115,S1S,1SS,
as compared with $36,474, 800 and S107197,-
$50, respectively, for 1916. The jobbing
trade grew in year from total capital
of s14,l05,500 to S15,772 900, while its sales
went from $50, G5S,G90 to s96,4SS,75O
All previous records were broken by tho
cty's financial Institutions tho Federal
Reserve Bank reporting discounts OF $780,
$4,000, this being ten times tho total OF
s45,GS9.ao7 for the previous year.
Building fell off only slightly because OF
the high prices Of materials incident to tho
war, new work TO the total OF $3,362,23O
being authorized, while to this may be added
repair work amounting to S75645S. This is
indeed creditable when the abnormal condi-
tons are considered, and building had been
expected TO dwindle almost to the vanishing
point.
In fact, 1917 was splendid year of sub
stantial growth for Richmond. Some of It.
of course, is attributable to the demand of
war, but even without this there would have
been noteworthy advance. 1t is doubtful IL
another city in the United States can show
so good record of achievement. II is Tho
spirit OF cooperation and civic pride that &c
thus rapidly carrying Richmond forward no
the South's leader in all things financial and
commercial.
