A GMF RECORD

Until the vinter OF 1918. San Fran
cisco policemen had prided them
selves that there was one trial OF
law-enforcing which had not yet taI-
len them They had yet TO be bonn
barded with suowbatls by mIsehiev-
Gus small boys
But alas They had not reckoued
upon the fact that there is snow in
Frisco and also that there are GMC
trucks in the sunshine state. which
can carry snow with perfect ease.
Consequently during the automo-
bile show of 1918. the minions of
the law were startled one day to get
a shower of suowbalIs and upon
sleuthing. they found that GMC
wa. responsible 1t had transplanted
winter right into the heart of San
Francisco.
4 GMC salesman in San Jose was
responsible He had the happy idea
of the novelty that snow would be to
the Frisco show-goers and so he took
a 2-ton GMC and went up Mt. Ham
!lton TO the grounds of the Lick OBJ
servatory where there is snow most
of the year and loaded the truck.
with the white stuff.
Not only was the snow big fea-
ture OF the show but the trip OF the
truck was a demonstration of GMC
pulling power. The observatory is
IS miles up grade from San Jose and
90 miles of the journey is continu-
ously up hill. not particularly steep
but nowhere level for a breathing
space for the motor. The truck went
up the grade easily and apparently
did not exert any reserve force n
making the long climb.

her term of Office expires. The relief
committee reported Comrade DECKER
son quite i'll after attending the con-
vention. Another sister said she had
seen his CHEEKY face down town
quite recently, so he must be fit for
the big feed the Corps will give the
Veterans the 18th of this month.
The Corps has a very pretty GUS
tom lately. When it comes to the
entertainment part of the session the
usual readings are omitted, and the
mothers are called upon to give some
account of their absent soldier and
sailor boys.
Several stars are to be added to
the Corps little service flag, then the
flag must be enlarged for more stars.

WORLD SHORTAGE
IN BEET SUGAR
Crops Are 40 Per Cent. Less
Than Pre-War Ayerage-Cen.
trail Powers Hit Hardest.
CANE SUGAR is ISOLATED.
Allied Beet Production Falls One-thirc
In Rigid War Economy
Practiced.

The world today Is producing forty
Per cent less beet sugar than the pre-
war average
Counting the American, Allied and
German-Austrian crops. as well as the
ueutrals. the L. s. Food Administra
ton has estimated that the world
shortage created by the light crop OF
I9l1-l9IS Is at least three and a half
million tons.
That the i9lT-I9ls crop OF cane sug
ar was two million tons In excess OF
the previous year does not relieve the
general shortage.
Cuba and Java produce one-half OF
the world cane crop. and the Java sug-
ar is too far removed from America to
transport when shipping Is badly need
ed TO transport and maintain the mill
tary forces In France.
In Java large part Of the old sugar
crop Is still awaiting shipment. Since
It requires $50 to 100 days for each
boat that Is sent to Java, the posslblli-
ties of obtaining adequate shipments
of Java sugar this season are remote.
Allies Production Falls.
Taking the Allied nations as q group.
official reports show that beet sugar
production Is less by one-tArd than the
pre-war average.
French beet sugar industry has suf.
fered most by the war. The French
yield of beet sugar Is now only 2J.l
per cent. Of the pre-war average.
For the FIVE years preceding the out
break OF hostllities In Europe, France
produced an average Of 752. 542 tons Of
sugar each year. For 1918 the
French production was 219.418 tons.
With 81 factories operating, as com
pared with more than 200 that were
In existence before the war and before
the general campaign Of destructive
ness launched by the German armies,
France nevertheless managed to manu-
facture more beet sugar In 1917-18
than In 1851, when the total output
was 202. AS tons.
Italy In 1918 produced 100000
tons of beet sugar, which was $1,000
tons less than the previous year and
11O,25O less than the annual output OF
sugar for the five year pre-war pc
Rod.
One of the great difficulties expert
enced in Italy's beet sugar industry
was finding sufficient labor to handle
the crop. Thousands Of men usually
employed in beet sugar production
were called for military service. The
yield per acre amounted to approx
mately half of the usual quantity Of
beets harvested

POINT TO BIBLICAL PROPHECY
Huns Claim That Russia's Collapse
Was Foretold In Verse In the
Book Of Daniel.

Quotations from the Bible and the
use of the name of the Deity are IA
vorite methods of the kaiser and his
subjects for trying to justify them
selves for bringing on the world dis
aster. Now they have come forward
with a verse from the Book of Daniel
to- prove that a Biblical prophecy has
come true in the collapse of the Rus
sian fighting forces. The verse is:
"And for the time that the daily
sacrifice shall be taken away. and the
abominatiOn that maketh desolate set
up, there shall be a thousand two hun
dred and ninety days"
The Germans point out that the
period of 1920 days corresponds with
the period from August /, 1914, when
war began between Germany and Rus
STA, and February IL, 1913, when 1t
was announced that TrOtzky had de-
clared the war at an end.

IDEAL PLACE FOR SOLITUDE
Bird Island, In Gulf of ST. Lawrence,
One Of Worlds Most Desolate
Spots.

Bird island, most nOrtherly of the
record for wrecks. The whole group,
in the Gulf of st. Lawrence, is exceed
ingly dangerous, but Bird island stands
first. More like a huge rock than an
island It's walls rise grim and gray In
the path of the mariner. The island
has no beach or coast, only a steep ir-
regular cliff rising abruptly from the
water. The top is a barren plateau of
about five acres.
The principal inhabitants are birds.
Gulls, gannets and INJURIES come In
thousands to nest and rear their young.
The roar Of their thousands Of wings
browns the noise of the waters. The
Indians say that they are the souls of
shipwrecked sailors.
The human tenants Of the plateau
are the lighthouse keeper and his wife,
doomed to solitary existence except
about once or twice a year when a ship
brings provisions. Sometimes, perhaps
in about every three or four years, an
enterprising naturalist comes to study
the bird life on the island.
Ships can approach Bird island only
in the calmest weather. The slight
est ripple and the craft keeps a re-
spectful distance. The lighthouse Is
reached by a rope and windlass. The
hardest mountain climber would hest
tate before attempting to scale Its
rough gray walls.
The keepers Of the light have been
singularly unfortunate. The first went
insane and had to be kept confined by
his wife and assistant until the pro-
vision boat arrived. The second was
borne away by a floating piece Of ice
when seal hunting in the early spring.
His wife maintained the lighthouse
alone until help came from a neigh
boring island.

A New London Drink.

An American in a public bar in Lon
don was mystified recently when a GUS
toner entered and sang out: "1,035
hop, please" AT first the nan from
the States believed the newcomer was
seeking TO telephone, but the bar maid
put out a drink, the thirsty n drank
and paid for it and then left without
saying another word. OF course. Amer
lean inquisitiveness had to be satisfied.
Investigation developed that the
