Industrial transition In the after
war period will be gradual here, ac-
cording to Richmond manufacturers.
Richmond will need a more or less
extended transition period" said H.
r. Robinson, chairman of the Indus
tries Board In the Tenth District of
the Cincinnati region. Some manu-.
facturers will feel more depression
than others, depending entirely upon
the work they are doing. However,
do not think there will be any serious
depression in Richmond"
There seems to be general feel
ing of optimism and think that the
future depends upon the ability of the
American people to meet the prob

ly and wisely there will be no serious
depression.
Cancellation continues but the gov

cancellation orders so as to protect
the manufacturers and the employees.
"The manufacturers are cO-operat-

of transition to help employment.
So far as is known no direct govern
ment contracts have been cancelled in
Richmond yet.

 The people of the Allied countries have long since given up luxuries. No sugar is served in public eating places over there. The per capita allowance per month in England is pounds, in France is l1a pounds and in Italy pound. We are allowed two pounds per person per month. It is possible if every one will be saving, to get along with less than that quota.
 Question of Honor.
 Tt is question of the honor of the people. The government is depending on them to save sugar. To do so will help win the war. Let us remember that officials in Washington regard Arkansas as a pattern for other states to follow. Keep up the good work. Maintain that enviaole record Put Arkansas over the top in sugar con servation as you have in all other features that makes for the winning of the war. Every time you use su- gar, say this:
 "I If 1 use less sugar right now l will help win the war

rortant amendments of the War Risk Insurance Act, just approved by the President, makes possible the change in procedure
 After July l, every enlisted man in the military or naval service, regard less of rank or pay, must make the same compulsory allotment to his wife and children, $15 month. To this allotment the Government will add monthly allowance ranging from $5 a month for motherless child and S15 for wife without chil- dren, up to maximum of $50. In addition the enlisted man, if he de- slres Government allowances for his dependent parents, grandparents, grandchildren. brothers and sisters may make voluntary allotments to them-fixed by the new amendments at $5 a month, where allotment is made to wife and children. and $15 where no such allotment is made. Heretofore aiiotments were on a slid ing scale and varied according to the soldiers pay or the numbers and per sonnel of his family.
 The new system, which was put into effect with the approval of the War and Navy Departments, will sim plify the administration of allotments and allowances both by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance and in the field. Henceforth the Bureau of War Risk Insurance will handle allotments of only two amounts, $l5 or $20 The amounts of family allowances paid by the Government to supplement these allotments are not changed by the amended law.
 Beginning with July pay, the Blu reau of War Risk Insurance will han de allotments only to support fam fly allowances-and then only in the amounts required by law to support such allowances The excess allot- ments, and allotments to persons noo entitled to allowances, will be han dled by the War Department, Navy Department, Marine Corps or Coast Guard. This change in administra- tive procedure will considerably in- crease the bureaus efficiency in handl- ing it's allotment and allowance prob lem.
 Under the new amendments a father through adoption and mother through adoption will be considered the same as a natural father and mother and will have the same right to allotments and allowances Ap- proximately 3,600,000 schecks have been issued by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Checks are being mailed at the rate of more than 40 900 day.
 All allotments payable by the Gen. tral Disbursing Division, office of the Quartermaster General, formerly pay able by the depot quartermaster, were completed on July 3. This included checks to the designated alottees of officers and enlisted men, both active and retired, wherever stationed. The amount paid was approximately S6,- 100000, and covered allotments made by some 800,000 allotters. These pay ments included checks to the depen- dents of officers whose accounts had been left in Washington for settle ment, and officers on foreign service who had made allotments to their families, as well as enlisted men. This payment also. included checks for the settlement of accounts of en- listed men in detchments located in and around Washington, whose rolls had been submitted for settlement.

SUGAR RATION
 IS CUT AGAIN
Two Pounds of Sugar Per Person Per
 Month is Now the Limit.-No High Grade Sugar at all for Soft Drinks.

Little Rock, July 31.-The rationing plan for sugar for August will go in to effect tomorrow The allotment has been reduced all over the United States to two pounds per person Ter month. Hotels and all other public eating places will be reduced to two pounds per ninety meals. Manufac- turers of less essentials, such as can dy and soft drinks, will be unable to procure any high grade sugar what ever. They will have to use what is known as seconds and thirds" and Arkansas jobbers are striving to get that class of sugar into the state from Louisiana.
 The total allotment for sugar for Arkansas during August is 3,895.000 pounds. That amount is exactly L. 667,000 pounds less than given the state during July. The utmost con- servation is demanded of the people, states ar announcement from State IOoo Ildllp " lIlldfIlS.
 Will Protect Home Gamers.
 Sugar for canning will be given those needing it for that purpose Prompt arrest on the charge of hoard ing will follow if proof is established sugar was falsely ordered for can hing and not used to save fruit or food. Prosecution will also result where it is proved any one bought more than their two pounds allotment.
 Hotels, restaurants and all other public eating places will receive for their August allotment just one-third of what they got during July. Retail stores will also be given less surar Their supply for August will be cut 10 to 50 per cent, depending on eondi tions in the respective localities. On all dining cars instructions have been given to serve not more than two half Jumps or one teaspoonful of sugar to each person. That portion for each patron is requested in all public eat ing places in the state. In an appeal to the people of Arkansas to save sugar, Mir. Williams says:
 More Precious Than Gold.
 Sugar today is more precious than gold. It is question of which cup you will drop your allowance in the one you hold or that held out by the American soldier in. France. As the government needed flour a few months ago, SC, too, it needs the sugar now. Southern canning will be taken care of. Let the people of Arkansas appreciate what the government IS doing in this respect and realize the full force of the present sugar short age. To get sugar under the pretense of using it for canning and then ap- propriating it to gratify personal con sumption is just as treacherous to the nation as any act that would result in

TRENCH CANDLES
 MADE BY GIRL SCOUTS

The men in camp find trench can ,dles convenient when they want to warm up a cup of coffee or a bowl of soup, or when they wish to read in an unlighted portion of camp or field.
 The Brownie" members of the Girl Scouts of Washington spend a DOT tion of their time each week in making these trench candles, which are hand ed to the Red Cross for distribution.
 Trench candles are made by cutting out eight full length column strips from a newspaper. The first strip is rolled as tightly as possible, then the other six strips are rolled carefully around this foundation, one by one, un- til compact cylinder is formed. This is tightly tied with thread. then it is boiled for half an hour in paraffin, when it is taken out and cooled. When it has become cold it is treated to an- other bath in the paraffin for another half hour, and when cooled for tho second time it is ready for use.

THE MELTING POT
 AND REGISTRATION

That foreign women in the United States are volunteering to work for Uncle Sam and the allies is evident from the registration taken by the woman's committee of the council of national defense. There have been many reports of Italian women doing Red Cross work or buying Liberty bonds. Polish women, Russians, Por- tuguese and Japanese offer all sorts of service. The Chinese were a fea- ture in Chicago's registration. But the last report from the States is possi- ply the most striking of all, for in Idaho Basques are volunteers.
 There never was such test of our melting pot as this which is on us now" says the woman's committee, "and the response of the many aliens who are with us has been as touching as it is magnificent"

Got a little extra excitement out of the Byng push on my own account.
 Sunday night on an Underground train I met two tired, but contended TOmmies, just arrived home on leave. In return for a match they volunteer ed the information that the biggest show of all was due in a couple of days. Told where it would take place what a lot of tanks were lined up for the plunge, the cavalry preparations and various other details borne out by Haig's bulletins of yesterday and to- day.
 Usually the tales the Tommies tell you are more interesting than accur- ate. This was an amazing exception.
 There's a defense of the realm regu- lation against Tommies telling all they know. Fortunately this happy pair borrowed their match from a friend who didn't believe them, in- stead of from one of the thinning band of German spies that still infest Lon don.

considered necessary to permit the ap. pointment of women in government offices.
 Before the United States entered the war the total number of positions classified under the federal civil serv- ice law was slightly more than 3O0,- 900. There has been a pronounced in- crease in the past few months; the exact figures are not available. Dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, women were appointed to fully 25 per cent of the positions the duties of which could be performed by either men or women. Of approximately l5,OOO appointments made to clerical and other office positions in Washing. ton since the war began, about 40 per cent have gone to women.
 Messenger girr' is a new title in government offices and is a war de- velopment The supply of messenger boys for public and private business ran short. Business houses as well as government offices at Washington are employing messenger girls.
 The civil service commission does not determine what examinations shall be open to women; in every instance the specification is made by the ap- pointing power, and the commission furnishes men or women as eligibles accordingly.
