CITY'S GLORY LONG DEPARTED
Ruins Testify to Existence of Once
Mighty Metropolis In Southeast
ern Africa.

In far7off corner of southeastern
Africa are hidden the ruins of once
mighty city, called in present times
the Zimbabwe. or buildings of stones.
The more faneiful of the scientists de-
clare that the time of Moses may have
seen the building of these crumblng
walls. but the weight of evidence
seems to prove that the city Is only
about ten centuries old. Whatever the
true dates of the city's history. certain
ly its ruins today are in appearance
very old, very moss hung and very pic
turesque.
There is nothing sad about the slip
ping away of these relics of the past,
so gradually they have sunk into the
soil and broken down with the pres
sure of time and weather. Their day
of glory and prosperity was over some
centuries ago. and they rest dreamily
in the sunshine. Bright flowers deck
the walls as of trying to hold the re-
naming stones together; and tall trees
spread their branches wide to temper
the heat of the midday sun and shell
ter the stones from the chill of the eve
ming.

Just Like Shaw,

George Bernard Shaw, the celebrat-

of a magazine that made feature
of the portraits of beautiful women:
why don't you do an original thing
and print the portraits of beautiful
men? Here's NINE"
In reply to the editors inquiry as to
whether he might not count on re-
ceiving Shavian contribution by a
certain date, Shaw wrote:
Il never engage to do anything that
must be done by certain date. The
things 1 simply had to do four years
ago I'll not be able to take up until

regulate their sales in such a manner
that their stock of sugar will not be ex
hausted before the increased allotment
can be provided for by the jobbers.
Mr.. Parry says that the Food Admin
istration has now made good It's prom
ise 10 increase the household allowance
Of sugar at the earliest possible mo-
ment that the sugar supply would
justify. thus making il possible for the
householder to more freely use the APP
pie. cranberry and grapefruit products.
and 70 use the fruits canned during the
summer without sugar; also to do home
baking.
The rapid manufacture Of the new
crop Of beet sugar in the west. and the
new crop Of Louisiana cane sugar in the
south together with freer railway
transportation conditions. and the re-
auctions that we have made ia the con-
sumption of sugar in the manufacturing
trades. and the patriotic conservation
in the past four months. enables the
Food Administration TO make this IN
crease in the allotment of sugar. The
regulations are also revised to the ex-
tent that any person may purchase his
whole monthly allowance at any one
time If he so desires.
The gist of the new regulations as
given out by Mr.. Parry IS as follows.
The retailer. householder. and public
eating place should govern themselves
accordingly:
l. The allotment of sugar for each
person is three pounds per month.
.. Any family may purchase its
whole monthly allowance at one time
from the retailer.
5. Hotels and restaurants are allow
cd three pounds Of sugar for each nine
