NO RELIEF FOR PRESENT SUGAR
 SHORTAGE SEEN
EXPERT OF DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE DECLARES PRES ENT CONDITIONS OF SUGAR MARKET WILL PROBABLY BE COME WORSE SOON.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.- (Py-Ap- bearing before the senate agricultural committee today, Dr. AIonzo Taylor, of the department of agriculture, de clared that there is no relief to be seen from the present shortage of sugar on the American market. In fact, he asserted, it is extremely probable that the conditions now existing will not only not improve but will grow worse before another crop is available.
 The doctor presents figures com piled by the statistical branch of the department of agriculture, showing that the shortage has been caused mainly by increased consumption at home. The increase of the present year over that of last year now amounts to eighteen per cent accord ing to the figures presented. This increase has been prot about by the increased manufacture of candy and soft drinks.
 The senate agricultural committee is now considering the enactment of legislation by which the sugar i'm ports may be increased. It has been suggested to them that the govern ment make arrangements for the pur- cboua Of tho aptira Cuhan crOp I'm der the circumstances, it is believed that a restriction may be placed on the unlimited use of sugar in order to bring relief.

TWO FIRMS ARE
GRANTED USE OF
LANDING FIELD
Omaha Rapidly Becoming Cen.
ter. Of Aerial Navigation
Notwithstanding on
Government Hangar.

Omaha is rapidly becoming CEN
ter for aerial navigation activities.
Applications for the use of the Ak
Sar-Ben landing field by two COM
mercial airplane companies were ac-
cepted by the aerial navigation Com
mittee of the Chamber of Com
merce at a meeting yesterday.
Members of the committee would
not divulee the names of the firms,
but stated that one was an Omaha
concern. The Omaha firm will erect
hangar near the landing field in
the near future, according to w:
A. Ellis, assistant commissioner OF
the Chamber of Commerce.
The committee also decided to
offer the present landing field for
the use Of the Lawson Airplane
company, which plans to fly huge
transcontinental passenger planes
via the Omaha route from New
York to San Francisco.
Larger Field Planned.
In offering the field the commit
tee explained in a letter to Alfred
w. Lawson, inventor of the great
plane, that the present field, which
is approximately 60 acres, would be
only a temporary arrangement. A
larger field, of from 90 to 100 acres
will be available for the use Of Law
son planes by spring, according to
Mr.. Ellis.
The use Of the field by private
concerns is entirely in accord with
the policy of the Postoffice depart
ment, which has prior rights on the
field for aerial mail planes, Mr.. Ellis
said. When aerial planes begin to
arrive, about December 20, however,
other planes will be limited to a
definite schedule. so as not to con-
flict with the flights of the mail
planes.
Working on Hangar.
In spite Of the cold weather the
construction of the government
hangar is progressing rapidly and
will be easily completed by Deem
Der 20. Mr.. Ellis, yesterday, tele-
yraphed to Chicago, instructing
postofficc officials there to send the
special heating plant for the hangar
at once, and it will be installed i'm
on arrival.
A drive for funds to pay for the
erection of the hangar and the
purchase of a larger field, which
was 20 have been started this week,
has been postponed until the present
coal shortage has been relieved

He Joined the Flying Squad and Brought Down Sev- en Boche Planes on
 Battle Front


 Wilhelm Erickson, formerly of Ju neau and for sometime employed al Dundas, has returned to Juneau wearing the Croix de Guerre and with a record as al British Ace.
 Erickson will be- remembered as the mere Norwegian boy who was arrested for shooting J. Solomon, 8 Juneau tailor He did not deny the charge, said he remembered nothing except that he had taken few drinks, and believed that he had been drugged. Owing to the exten uating circumstances, he was given g light sentence by Judge Robert w Jennings, and left Juneau for Europe
 Erickson joined the British Roya Flying Squadron, was trained in ar English aviation school and went te France, where he saw nine months service. He is credited with bringing down seven enemy planes before he was shot down himself, wounded 1T both legs. He then spent six months in a British hospital, visited his peo ple in Norway for two months, and came back to Juneau to make good
 Erickson bears his war honors lightly, and still looks like n boy though one who has all the con fidence and 'self-control necessary tt meet any emergency.
