Consumers Urged to Save
Sugar to Avert Famine

Nearly 500 persons have applied at
the offices of the Dauphin County
Food Administration for sugar-pur-
chase certificates. Most of those who
come and fill out their sugar ques-
tionnaires are grocers. The small
manufacturers who use sugar and the
proprietors of boardinghouses, hotels
and restaurants have not been so
prompt in filling out their returns.
The local administration has not
received orders to annul the ruling
allowing householders to purchase
sugar in wenty-five-pound lots for
canning. Householders, however,
have been urged to restrict them
selves to the voluntary limit of three
pounds a month. 1t is pointed out
that unless these orders are obeyed
the allowance of twenty-five pounds
for cooking may have to be annulled.

NO AMERICAN ATTACK
REPULSED ANYWHERE

With the American Army in
France, July S.-The American sec
tors along the front remain quiet,
with intermittent artillery fire, occa-
sional raids and the usual patrolling
operations.
The enemy wireless reports give
an importance to local actions which
does not appear from close eXamina-
ton on this side. For instance. the
Germans transformed an insignif-
cant contact of patrols in the Toul
sector into raid by their troops.
A raid in which Americans took
prisoners in the Upper Vosges Sec
tor they interpreted as an attack
which they repulsed. No American
attack has been repulsed anywhere
and there have been no raids except
those carried out by the Americans
during the last two days.

NO TH1RTEENTH MONTH.

from the practical and helpful to the ridiculous
when he proposes to simplify the calendar"
by adding new month, after June. He has IN
troduced bill to bring about the change, ex-
planning that his proposal is in line with the
daylight saving proposition because it is an eff
fort to enable men to adapt themselves better
to natural conditions He would have each
month twenty eight days long, and-he says that
by evening up the months we will remove much
difficulty and unfairness caused by having some
months longer than others. "We we're brought
up regarding month as having four weeks,
he adds. 'sThis makes it that in fact In two
short sentences he states as facts two things
that are not so. No additional month is needed
The world sees trouble enough in twelve. Least
Of all does it need one that would, in the view
of many persons, be unlucky.

THE COAL SITUATION.

Chicago Tribune: The coal situation
is far from satisfactory. DR.. Garfield,
fuel administrator. places the blame
on Mr.. McAdoo, director general OF
the railroads, and absolves the fuel
administration of all responsibility
Unless there is an immediate and
material improvement in car supply
efficiency" he says, "the country
faces the certainty of serious short
age of bituminous coal" The aver
age loss in production, due to car
shortage. was 23.3 per cent during the
last week in March, according to Mr.
Garfield. while the loss in the Illinois
and Indiana fields was 22.6 per cent.
1t is. Of course. all very well for Mr.
Garfield to place the blame, il posi-
Bile, where it belongs. But the public
Is much less interested in controver-
sizes between Mr.. Garfield and Mr. Nc
Adoo than in getting coal. Mr.. Gar
fields public statements criticising
the railway administration do not
serve to bring the mines up to maxi
mum efficiency; they only serve to
provide an excuse for the fuel admin
istration in case the coal famine an
ticipated by Mr.. GARFIELD should occur
But the fuel administrations record
of last year does not give us cause to
hope or believe that It is without
blame. Mr. Garf1eld's price fixing
methods were directly responsible for
last winters shortage; the inability of
the railroads to move the coal after
the situation became acute was Incl
dental.
During the spring months the ca
pacity of the railroads for handling
coal ought to be at it's maximum. II
a car shortage is impeding the opera
ton of the mines, Mr.. Garfield should
find some way of convincing Mr.. Nc
Adoo to relieve the shortage. It Is at
least part OF his business to see that
the cars are sent to the mines, and
if Mr.. McAdoo is unwilling to cooper
ate Mr.. Garfield can surely induce the
President to take hand We certain
ly do not need any further lessons as
to the fundamental necessity OF coal:
we certainly are not ignorant Of the
extent to which coal famine can de-
moralize industry and war activity.
1t is the plain duty of the govern
m ent to avert repetition of last fall s
experience. The country will not be
satisfied with controversies or ex-
cuses.

THE CoMMONsENsE VIEW.

The Springfield Republican justifes the presi-
dent in favoring the election OF senators OF the
democratic faith because "a senate controlled
nv his political opponents would greatly en-
barrass and weaken his administration We
cannot share this feeling. The largest measure
of opposition and embarrassment which has
been brought to the president from senatorial
sources has come from the democratic side OF
the chamber Republicans, in the senate as IN
the house, have been much more generous IN
their support of war measures proposed by the
administration than have democrats A senate
controlled by the republican party could not
and would not turn its back upon the record
which the party has already made-while to
have a republican senate would ensure divi-
sion of party responsibility which should and
would inure to the benefit and not the embar
rassment of the administration. This is the
commonsense view devoid Of partisan leaning,
and the conclusion is reached as a result Of the
course of events in the congress.
And along comes Colonel Harvey, who, in his
North American Review calls upon the politi-
cal parties to agree on the reelection of prac-
tically all the present members Of the house. He
argues that the democrats would have nothing
to gain by increasing their present majority,
and the republicans could gain nothing by car
irving the elections except the privilege of di-
vldlng the responsibility lot carrying on the
war and naming a speaker, presumably Mr.
Mann. who voted for about everything the Ger
mans wanted. The fact is pointed out that the
democrats of the ninth Virginia district have de-
cided to make no nomination against Congress
man Slemp, republican, and that the reelection
of Senators Nelson and Kenyon are not to be
opposed. There might be some advantage in
such an arrangement, and the present congrss-
men probably would be enthusiastic for it. Yet
whichever party controls it, the next house

Ranishina Childish Fears.

Some years ago it would have been
thought sheer nonsense to talk of a
child being afraid when he did not
even know he was afraid. says Laura
Spencer Portor in The Mothers
magazine. Now, owing to the re-
searches Of earnest men. and women
in the field of psychology, and owing
to the very exact and modern ex-
periments in psychology, we know
that only a very small part of our
mental life and experience ever rises
into consciousness; and that by far
the larger part consists of impress
sions and tendencies and fears and
repressions that are active yet re-
main hidden as 1t were under the
surface of the conscious. Moreover.
it is now well known and established.
that when the mind is called On To
face facts or experiences which for
one reason or another are unplea-
SAINT or painful to it. it has the
power and the habit of escaping
from those distasteful facts into a
set of fancies less distasteful, or, it
may be, positively pleasant to it.
