The sugar supplies throughout the country, in homes, stores, factories and bakeries, are at low cbb; the produc- tion from the American beet and Louisiana cane crops have been disap- pointing the yield in Porto Rico has likewise been smaller than anticipat- ed, and the inability of the United States and the Allies to secure sugar from Java and other distant sources on account of the imperative call for ships for the movement of troops and their supplies has materially reduced the supply from such quarters Added to this already difficult situation, the quantity needed by the Army and Navy greatly exceeds earlier esti- mates; we must send a large amount to France and Italy to take the place of the great volume lost through the German and Austrian invasions, dur ing which much beet land was over run and many factories destroyed; we have to supply certain quantities to neutral nations under agreements; and finally over fifty million pounds were IoSt recently throuQn Supmdfih6 Sink- ings of our Atlantic coast
 The Food administration is conf- dent that the american people, with the record of wheat savings behind it, having by voluntary savings sent 140,- 100000 t-shels of wheat to the Allies after practically every bushel had been exhausted from our normal surplus, will with the same spirit save the sugar situation of the world.

GENERAL SUGAR CONSERVATION
Is sugar necessary in the diet?

Is sugar necessary in the diet?
 Neither beet sugar is necessary. In the, average American diet al lthesugar needed may ordi- nariy be supplied by using honey, sirups, fresh pre- served and dried fruits.
 What are the general sugar saving rules?
 Use all sugar sparingly and wherever possible other sWeeteners. Be sparing of contectlons and sweet cakes. The American people last year spent enough money for candy feed all Belgium for two years Supplement sugar with honey and sirups. CutlVate taste for fruit in it's natural sweetness. Sugar Is fuel food. Get fuel from potatoes and other Starchy foods rather than from sugar Sugar eXeels them energy food only because it pro- duees energy more quickly. They excel sugar since they supply more than merely the fuel need. How may the sugar ration be expressed in quantities known to everyone?
 Two pounds per month means about ounces per week, or a little more than ounce day. This daily ration IS trife more than tablespoons level full. IL should be remembered that this is to include all sugar used for any purpose whatsoever-for table use cooking in ice and desserts on cereals or lrul Tn sugar sirups used on griddle cakes, etc. E5|'s1 E5||'s1 $ s

Has Plan to Relieve
5th Ave. Congestion

Dr. John A. IIarriss, the special
Deputy Police Commissioner in charge
OF traffic. described yesterday a plan
that he has under consideration TO re-
leNc Vchicular congestion on Fifth
Avenue and Broadway. 1t involves the
construction of elevated roadways on
both sides of tho Sixth Avenue elevated
line and on a level with the tracks
from Bryant Park to Central Park.
North bound traffic would keep to the
cast roadway and southbound TO the
west As there probably would be only
terminal approaches, the highway
would be used only by through traffic.
, There would be sidewalks for pcdestri-
ans in falr weather, and Commissioner
1arrss pointed ont that a shower
would undoubtedly crowd the pro-
tected sidewalks beneath with umbrella
less wayfarers.
Thc arcade beneath the structure
would provide ideal situations for shops

ln Army Contract

CHICAGO. Feb. Witnesses in
the Federal Trade Commission investi-
cation OF the packing industry to- day
told OF the difficulty making a rea-
sonabie profit IN the retail meat bust
ness in Chicago. in direct conflict with
statements that retail butchers were
responsible in some degree for high
meat prices.
Francis J. Heney. counsel for the
commission. brought out that the ques-
tlon OF changing government specihca-
tlons so as to permit cheaper meats
belng included in the army contracts
had been considered by the five big
packing houses and the quartermas-
ter's department. The packers sug-
gested including "cheek' meat and also
pigs backs and shoulders as bacon in
the soldiers canned food.
Letters were read telling of efforts
made by Cudahy & Co. to obtain per-
mission from the food administration
on army contracts. This meat ord-
narily is not included in the grades on
which bids are asked for the army
letter to W. Z. Murphy. Omaha
manager for Cudahy d Co, from the
Chicago headquarters Of the concern
directed him to include "check meat
in corned beef cans in proportions of
% per cent. so per cent and 20 per
cent for submission as samples to the
food administration.
Conferences of representatives Of
Armour, Swift and Morris with Colonel
kniskern, of the Chicago depot of the
quartermasters department, relative
to changing the grades of bacon so
that backs and shoulders might be in
cluded in army bacon were also men
toned
The letter said that such change
in the bacon specifications was neccs-
sary because of the vast amount Of
meat which must be used.
1t suggested that samples of the ba-
con be made up for submssio to the
Federal authorities.
Details of the manner in which army
were contained in other letters read by
Mr.. Heney. The letters showed that
the requirements of the government
were 4,36S,0 600 pounds of bacon a
month.
Reference was made early in the day
10 ruling of W. +. Priebe. of the
food administration. in charge of poul-
try and eggs, ana declared by Mr..
Heney to be receiving a salary from
the w. f. Priebe Company, listed as a
Swift &, Co. subs diary. The, ruling
permitted packers to place in their
warehouses March /. 1913, poultry or
dered out of cold storage houses on
that day.
The effect of this rule said Mr.
Heney, "Was to give the packers an
advantage over the producer who had
to take poultry out Of storage and sell
on the open market, while the packer
transferred his cold storage poultry
10 his branch houses and could wait
