stuffs during the current twelve
months. That is wellnigh double the
total which even wartime economy
has been able to accomplish 1t is a
task however from which q nation
with world conscience" will not
shrink.
Mr. Hoover has gone TO Europe to
study the conditions and see what
measures are to be taken In order to
rescue its liberated peoples from
hunger and chaos Economy at home
will be supplemented with efficiency
abroad. All told there are S0e,0O0,000
men, women and children looking
westward for food. Our allies come
first, then friendly neutrals, and finally
at the tail end of Europe's breadline
stands the hungry Hun himself. 1t is
sound economic policy to see that he
gets enough sustenance to shoulder
the burden of his punishment. But 1t
is human nature to see that he waits
with empty platter until his betters are
satisfied.
Mr. Hoover's message to his fellow
lcountrymen was declared from the
pulpits ON Sunday. The last OF that
message is a clear call for the most
drastic economy which nation living
itself In the midst of plenty has ever
been asked to make for the welfare
of humanity. 1t Is indeed q call to
Americas world conscience.

not figure in such map for Ameri-

to distribute food to the cities with

England, France, the Netherlands

maintained from American supplies,

American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.


The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions Of the Government
- Our normal consumption Of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
aNtotal Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
900 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been In the throes Of sugar
famine before the end OF August Our
visible supplies were SO low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
II would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be mere lux
ury in The American diet.

Why Iron Chimney Stacks corrode.

The cause Of corrosion Of galvanized
iron extensions to chimneys is laid
generally to condensation which forms
inside the stack, and which in con-
junction with the carbon which has
been deposited in use. creates a gal
vanic action which soon destroys the
zinc coating and finally eats through
the iron or steel base. To prevent
the condensation an air space around
the stack is recommended. The stack
is made double from the, base to a
point close to the top, with small iron
braces between the inner and outer
castings. These may be riveted close
to the ends Of the sheets in course OF
construction. The air space may be
one or two inches, according to size Of
smokestack. and local eQnditionss-
