SUGAR SHORTAGE
CAUSE IS SOUGHT
Consumers League Asks
Why Report Comes at
Canning Season.

Jessie r. Haver, executive secretary
of the Consumers League of the Dis
trict, asks why there is now a short
age of sugar when the canning sea-
son mas opened. She says that the
federal food administration stimulat-
ed the practice of canning assuming
that it would result in saving to the
country and utilize thousands of
pounds of fruits and vegetables which
ordinarily go to waste. For this pur-
pose housewives in the canning sea-
son could obtain ANY amount of
sugar
Quoting figures on sugar crops
from the bureau of farm estimates or
the Department of Agriculture. she
says that the amount of sugar raised
in the states up to and including June
80, 1919, was 2.09s,926 200 pounds. and
it is estimated that this supply will
be increased by a million pounds for
next year. Crops from Cuba, Hawaii.
Porto Rico, Philippine Islands, Java
and other tropical countries for the
year ending May 81. 1919. were $685.
$4,000 pounds. This supply, she says.
will be repeated this year unless
there is a great disaster.
Suggests Packers May Know Cause
OF the total supply in the United
STATES ~ per cent was sent duIoe1u
during this year, Miss Haver states.
Exports. she says, are running high,
but not quite to the level of two years
ago. The total amount of sugar used
for eleven months of this year has
been less than for 1917 and 1918, she
claims.
Now we hear rumors to the effect
that there are large amounts of
canned fruits and vegetables held by
the War Department and by the pack
ers,' she added. In view of the story
of rice, which rose IS per cent in
wholesale price the year. its sale was
undertaken on a large scale by Ar
mour & Co., and in view of the re-
port of the Federal Trade Commits
sion to the effect that the five
packers are going more and more into
the handling of staple groceries, such
as sugar and coffee, and are also be-
coming large factors in the canning
of fruits and vegetables, we wonder
whether there is any connection be-
tween this alleged shortage of sugar
and the past history of rice, for in
stance. Why doesn't somebody do
something that will be effective? In
another month it will be too late to
save the berries which ought to be
canned

Mr. Untermyer is expected to ap-

I'VE cannot too strongly urge the

since there is common interest, and

The Riggs Bank controversy, which
occupied the attention of the District
of Columbia courts for several months,
did not in any way affect the attitude
of the controllers Office toward that
bank, which was one of absolute i'm
partially, said Mr.. Williams yester-
day afternoon in answering the
charges of persecution made earlier
in the hearing by Frank J. Hogan.
The controller said that the Riggs
Bank had formerly enjoyed special
privileges in the Treasury, having ac-
cess to information that was denied
to national banks in general. When
this condition was changed and the
Riggs Bank put on the same footing
with other institutions of it's kind,
said Mr.. Williams. the friction began,
but it had not affected the impartiality
of Treasury Department transactions.
Mr. Williams told the committee
that he had administered the affairs
of 5000 national banks without fear
or favor" and that almost without
exception they had been satisfied with
his administration.

Labor Conditions.

With labor conditions as they are.
it is even marvellous that these two
branches of service have been able to
attract and retain as many men as
they have at the present time, in
view of the low wage pay.
There is no class of public servants
who are subject to the same dangers
and in whom the spirit of heroic work
must be an ever-preSent quantity as
the men in the police and fire depart
mentS.
They are called on in instance of
dire danger and aside from the
ordinary routine labors performed
must even risk their lives that yours
and ours might be spared.
ut seems to US that not only should
substantial compensation be paid.
but that arrangements should also be
made whereby, in the event of their
being permanently incapacitated or
meeting death in the line of duty, the
wife, mother and minor dependents
would be assured of maintenance for
all time.

Willing to Yield in Part.

Mr.. Wilson is said by close friends to
be willing to make every concession
to his opponents which does not de-
stroy the fundamentals of the league

object to clarifying phrases or the
statement of things which have SEEM

tiaries to be fully covered by the

explicit statement may be thought
desirable.
But as for reservations like the Ave

the President considers them pro-
posals which would strip the league
of it's main influence for permanent
peace. as the guarantee would be but
temporary and after ten years Euro

acquisitions that has led to so many

Endangers Flyers Lives.

THE order of the Post Office Depart
ment to fly regardless of weather is
costing the government lot of money,
besides endangering the lives of the
flyers" said Mr.. Anglin today. THE
machine that Stevens crashed in was
brand-new and cost $4,000, and the
accidents during the last two weeks have
run up an enormous bill for the gov
eminent.
1T is impractical to fly at high alti-
tudes during rain or fog, as our COM
passes are not accurate, and we do not
know how high we are and are liable to
get out over the ocean and get lost. OF
course. in n transatlantic flight the avn
ator is not trying to make a particular
city, but just looking for land anywhere
on the other side, so he can do fairly
we'll with compass.
THE big machines of the R-4 type
are all right for good weather, but
there is no reason why they should be
used when we have to by under a low
ceiling. A man who has never been a
pilot may not recognize this, but it is
apparent to all who have done any
flying.
IF Mr.. Praeger will leave it to Mr..
Edgerton, chief of the air mail serv-
ice, or any other pilot to say under
what weather conditions we shall or
shall not fly. it will be agreeable to
the pilots. We are willing to go up
any time that Mr.. Edgerton is"

Opposed to Compromise.

Mr.. Taft has sought to compromise
the issue, but Mr.. Wilson is adamant-
not because he is unable to see the
dangers of an uncompromising posi-

before them and tells them of the
alarming conditions in Europe which
in his opinion may threaten again the
peace and prosperity of the American
people.

SOMETHING WRONG

There is a mighty big screw loose
somewhere when it ia kes two months
to get word to this country, Of the
death from disease or accident Of
our soldiers now in France.
Any news item from the Creel
committee can come through in one
day, or less, because it is SO impor-
tant that we know how many atten-
ded the reception of some Of the big
politicians, now assembled in Paris,
or what dress the Queen of England
wore while receiving some politicians
wife. but the fact that an obscure
American soldier had died or been
killed by accident, is SO unimportant
that two months can elapse before
the fact need be reported to his an
xiously waiting parents.
The League of Nations and it's en-
virons, is all right for the politicians
to juggle, we will have to take what
they give us anyway, but the one hun
dred million Americans are more in
terested in their boys and the fact
that they are i'll or dead, should be
the first thing to go over the cables
but, in pla-e of that, 1T is the last.
Verify, there is mighty big screw
loose somewhere.
