The expose came after the raid. It
developed that both soldiers were
good actors, They were working in
cooperation with the district attorney
and had staged the scenes in an eff
fort to learn the identity of the per-
sons who had been procuring whis-
key and beer for men in uniform
The raiders visited furnisher room

nothing other than 100 men who all

manufacturers who have at this time
used up their allotment of sugar, and
on pretext that hot weather has Gre
ated an additional demand, will not be
permitted to secure further supplies
until after July 1, and then in the
proportion that low obtains.
Any one VINO now admits the pos
session of enough sugar to carry them
through until July / without going
through the formality of requisition,
under the rules of the administration
are sugar hoarders. No consumer is
entitled under the rules to more than
thirty days supply. In making re-
QUESTIONS, all consumers are expected
to make an affidavit as TO their re-
quirements, purpose, name and town,
and all such certificates not proper
ly prepared will be ignored, and
licensed distributors will withhold any
sugar for them.
The food administration does not
at this time consider it necessary to
ask manufacturers of candy to dis
continue. The administration does in
sist, however, that the people who
are subsisting on the 3 pounds per
month ration, should not be subject
to the discrimination necessarily in
volved in the practically unlimited
sale of candy to those able to buy,
which candy, in large measure, con-
sists of sugar. The food administra-
ton further frowns on the practice
Of making candy for soldiers. 1t is
announced officially that army officers
do not favor the practice of sending
such supplies, and that the United
States government is seeing to it that
the sugar requirements are being
guaranteed every man in the service.
This wholesale consignment of candy
to men in camps and environments is
described by the food administration
as being a device on the part of the
candy manufacturers to sell their
goods rather than any patriotic pur-
pose to meet necessary requirements of
the soldiers. Fudge parties, DR.. Soule
says, are disloyal and should be so
regarded.

NEW YORK, June 1.-TWO bottles
of beer, a lonely looking whiskey
Ifiask-empty-and the arrest of two
bellboys alleged to have been the pro-
curers of the bottles, were the SUN
total netted early yesterday in the
latest personally conducted raid by
James E. Smith, assistant district at
torney
With Inspector Henry and half
score of detectives, Mr.. Smith visited
two hotels near Times Square. In
each one a bellboy was arrested. Both
were locked up in the West 47th street
police station on the charge of selling
liquor to soldiers.
When Crusader Smith and his vice
hunters entered upon their latest ex-
petition, they conferred their attention
first on a hotel in West 44th street.
Crusader Smith evidently had inside
information, for he never hesitated in
the lobby, but waved his legions into
an elevator and went swiftly upstairs
into a room
Seated blissfully contented, partly
deshabille, with an ice cold bottle of
light brew grasped tenderly in each
hand, was a soldier. Decorating the
furniture at odd angles was another
dozen bottles. The crusaders paused
in horror. The soldier almost tear
fully disengaged himself from the two
cold bottles
Where did you get it Numbered
Smith.
The crusaders, following the soldier,
found bellboy, greatly frightened,
who was identified by the soldier as
the procurer of the beer. at 70 cents
per two bottles. Whereupon the hotel
employee was hustled off to the police
station.
The crusaders then dashed down
town block into 43rd street. Another
hotel was entered Smith and his
sleuths again acted with directness.
They went swiftly to a room on one
of the upper floors, where another SOL
der was surprised with a flask of
Kentueky's best product tucked COM
fortably away in his clothes
The soldier pointed out another
frightened bellboy as the man who
had sold him the liquor for rs cents
1t was Immediately confscated and
the bellhop was taken to the West
47th street station.

were questioned they declared ignor-

SERVING ICE-CREAM
AT SOCIAL AFFAIRS
TO Be DISCOURAGED

Women's societies and social clubs
who make it a practice to serve re-
freshments during the afternoons or
evenings, and particularly those who
have been in the habit of serving ice
cream, are expected by the Unite
States food administration to desist
from such practice This is an au-
thoTized statement by DR.. Andrew M.
Soule, federal food administrator. DR..
Soule stated emphatically today Chat
the food administration is unalterably
opposed to any deviation from strict
three meals per day program, and will
consider unpatriotic and un-American
any departure therefrom. He says the
consumer of ice cream which Is a
rich concentrated food full of sugar
at any between ?meal period, is a food
Stacker
Between-meaI eating, no matter
what, when or where, is altogether
inconsistent with the United States
food regulations. People are expect
ed to eat enough of wholesome food
at meal time to last them until the
next meal, and particularly without
any midnight indulgence. We have
not yet reached a point where we are
ready to shut off altogether the manu-
facture or consumption of ice cream,
but we must insist that it be given its
proper valuation as a food, and as
such, conserved the same as other
staples must be conserved, if we are
to maintain an adequate supply of
nourishing food, DR.. Soule says.
As further step in the conserva-
tion of sugar, no new confectioneries
will be permitted to buy from the pres
ent limited store The food admins
tration desires to reassert and en-
phasize the necessity of limiting the
consumption of sugar to ration of
three pounds per month per person.
Reports indicate, according to DR..
Soule. that there are plenty of sugar
producing countries. hut the necessary
tonnage to move 1t is not available.
There will be no relaxation of the food
administrators vigilence over the SUI
gar supply until next fall, and then
upon condition that the shipping stu
alton is vastly improved.

asking, as a government re-
quest, that every householder
in America save all peach pits,
prune pits, cherry stones, and
the shells of all nuts. The ar
ticle caught the eye of one of
the members of the Priscilla

next meeting she brought the
matter up for discussion with
the result that it was the unan-
imouS vote of the club that they
take up the work of saving
these pits. The News has been
requested to ask that all these
pits and shells be saved, and
that receptacles have been
placed in The National Hotel
