attached to air service units, which
have been training in England, are now

May Lift Sugar Bowl Lid on Decem.
Der First.

New Orleans, Nov. q. Following
conference here yesterday between su
gar growers, manufacturers, dealers
brokers, John M. Parker. food admins
traitor, and his sugar committee, head
ed by R. E. Milling. with Horace C
Earl, one of the chiefs of sugar division
United States food administration, il
was announced that the lid probably
will be lifted from the sugar bowl De
cember /. and all restrictions remov
ed, abolishing certificates and allowing
both merchants and consumers to buy
all the sugar they want.
Mr.. Parker, Mr.. Earl and the COM
mittee asked Washington to issue this
order, abolishing certificates and re.
strictions, in the hope that this would
help sell plantation clarifeds which
producers claim are not in demand.
When this is done restrictions on res
tauranta also will be removed.
while many of the restrictions on su-
gar and other foods are to be removed,
still it is well to remember that things
are not to be run wide open" as the
above telegram may lead people to be-
lieve. The household allowance of 4
pounds month to each person Is to be
observed with religious patriotism, and
merchants will be required to hold to
l cent per pound profit heretofore stip-
ulated. III. G. Goodwin, Food Admin
istrator for Grant Parish.

Enemies Last in Food Under Hoover's
Plan.

Paris, Nov. 27.-Herbert C. Hoover,
American food administrator, is here
and is taking up with the allies the re-
partition of disposabl. food stuffs.
The plan under consideration would
give food first to the allies, then to the
neutrals and then to enemies. Mr..
Hoover desires that commission meet
at Brussels and examine the merits of
German requests for food and to de-
eide on means for meeting them.

Food Administration to be Continued

Food Administration to be Continued
In common with about seventy fooc
administrators of the State the editor
of the Chronicle attended convention
held in New Orleans on Saturday, Nov.
%. The food administration will be
continued until after the peace confer
ence at Versailles. and very probably
into the summer of 1919. The policy
of food saving is regarded as absolutely
necessary if the saving of millions of
lives in Europe and Asia is accomplish
ed.
A summary of the European food
problem by Mr.. Hoover estimates that
while l65, 900. 600 people have sufficient
food to carry themove to the next crop,
there are $50, 900. 900 people that relief
measures must be provided for, or else
millions of them will perish before an
other crop can be harvested.
AS a matter of course our first and
principal concern is to feed the suffer
ing allies who were under the German
yoke, such as Belgians, Serbians, Ro-
manians, Montenegrians, Poles and
others. Very little attention will be
paid to German appeals for aid, but
there are millions in Russia, Syria,
Palestine and Arminia, and in some of
the neutral countries who need help,
which will be extended if possible.
With it all, it is feared thousands will
perish before help can be rendered,
owing to lack of transportation.
In Germany, and especially in Austro-
Hungary, there are some who cannot
be classed as .'enemy people, and may
be helped, but in the main they will
have to help themselves. The allied
blockade will be raised, and this will
enable German and Austrian ships to
be used to import into the country all
the food they can buy for themselves.

Feminism. like socialism, Is difficult
to confine within the boundaries Of a
formula. Mr.. w. L. George, In "Wom-
an and Tomorrow" has done what is
possible in this direction. Feminism,
he says, is, broadly, the furthering of
the interests of women. philosophically
the leveling of the sexes. and specifical-
ly the social and political emancipa-
ton of woman.
