u. S. Board Tracing
S,OOO,000 Pounds
OF Released Sugar
Steps Taken to Ascertain
Why Only a Part of Sup

The Sugar Equalization Board, recog-
nizing the seriousness Of the sugar
shortage, announced yesterday that
wholesalers holding certificates for un-
delivered portions of their ALLEGATION of
80 per cent Of their normal require
ments should present them for filling.
It was made plain that many of these
orders would not be filled, but by the
move the board would learn how much
sugar had been obtained by each dealer
and what had been done with it. This
step was taken, Arthur Williams, Fed
eral Food Administrator, said, with a
view to learning the disposition of the
90,000,000 pounds of sugar refined last
week, half of which should have been
released for consumption in the eastern
section of the boards jurisdiction.
Mr.. Williams explained that half of
the sugar refined last week had been
shipped to England. 1t was part of the
one third of the Cuban crop purchased
last year by the British Roval Commits
sion, he said.

Spiritual Healing Service
Sottens yoIts of City Life
Church of Ascension Opens Meetings at Which,
Through Suggestion and Emotional Appeal, the
Tired and Nervous Are Promised Surccase

The Church Of the Ascension has set
the pace in New York for spiritual
healing services of new order. 1t
was announced yesterday by DR.. James
B. Thomas that these services had
been under way for two weeks, al
though few persons outside of the I'M
mediate members of the congregation
were aware of the step. Balm for the
jolts and jars of city life and tcmo-
rary surcease from the worries, cares
and complexities OF everyday life are
promised. Already business men and
nervous, tired women are seeking the
comfort of the Thursday night meet
ings.
1t was explained by DR.. Thomas that
the spiritual healing idea should not be
confused with faith healing. Spiritual
thcrapy is the basis of the expert
mental work at the Church of the AS
cension. 1t is hoped shel-shocked
soldiers and women bereaved during
the war will take advantage Of the
services. There is no preaching.
Atmosphere of Peace and Beauty
Suggestion and emotional appeal are
the means adopted to make the meet
lngs soothing and comforting. Music
vibrations and lighting effects OF a
tranquilizing nature have bean intro
duced. An atmosphere of calm, peace
and beauty ditfuses itself and gradual
ly has its effect on the consciousness OF
the congregation, according to DR..
Thomas.
I've are inviting persons of all ma
tionalities and creeds to attend" he
said. eve hope through these meet
ings to eradicate some Of the evils at
the root of the present worldwide un-
rest. 1t is our desire to have people
rise above racial antagonisms. We
want to create wholesome and happy
attitude toward life among those who
are seeing it through smokefogged,
tear-dimmed glasses.
Through the media Of color, light
and sound we hope to bring about hap
pier and more humane relationships be-
tween persons of different nationaGties.
I'VE want persons who are hurt to
turn to us. We will give them COM
fort without antagonizing them. No
propaganda will be thrown at their
heads. Nor will we preach to them"
Dim, Religious Light Diffuscd
"Music and Health Service and Eel
lowship of Silence" is the official title
of the weekly meetings in the church.
Dr. Thomas opens the program with an
address outlining his ideas on the sub
icct of spiritual therapy. This is fol-
lowed by music, vocal and instrumental
There is period of silence, which
may be given over to prayer or not.
Agnostics are as welcome as the or
thodox.
One of the features is the emotional
appeal and the atmosphere of peace
within the church. 1t is literally the

self. The nave virtually is in dark
ness. Amber and rose lighting effects
give glow to the chancel. The effect
is the reflection Of a log fire. A sound
ing board separates the congregation
from the musicians, so that the music
is impersonal and distant.
Children's Parade Planned
A Thanksgiving service will be held
tomorrow night. Russian women arc
especially invited to attend. Miss
Helen Todd, of the Women's Emer-
gency Committee, announced yesterday
that an outline would be given to them
of the efforts which will be made tc
send food and medicine to the children
Of Russia.
Miss Todd divulgcd a program for :
children's march up Fifth Avenue as 3
protest against the blockade of Rus
sian parts. The object, according tc
Miss Todd, is to get clearance papers
for a ship sent over with supplies and
food. Famine, smallpox and typhoid
are rampant among the children OF
Russia, she declared, and the Womcn's
Emergency Committee intends to sup
plement the recent parade of women
UP Fifth Avenue with parade OF
American children, with banners ano
regalia calling for succor for the chill
dren Of Russia.
