rem shared with her the pleasure OF
the vacation. She also told Of an
other trip with the Greers to West
Virginia. None Of the other orphans

An incident in the examination OF
Mrs. Weller precipitated a verval
clash between Attorney Barse and
Levi H. David. counsel for the Greers.
Attorney Barse had asked Mrs.
Weller IL the orphans were furnished
towels by the Greers.
The witness answered in the af-
firmative, whereupon Attorney Barse
asked the clerk OF the court for a
bundle OF towels that were Identified
on Friday night by a witness as be-
ing those furnished the children.

one a tale Of tears that brought smies.
The first story was Of a soldier Who

a cigarette was between his lips, plac-

finished spreading his blanket up

and gave him a box Of matches ana

Of Low Supplies.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able TO reduce by
more than One-half million tons heir
July. August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
slvely that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and chat the
country as a whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar In
lie four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
Il total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when bur sugar strlngency
began 10 reach Its height, consumption
was REDUCED to 26O,000 tons. In Au-
gust only $4,000 IONS went into dis
tributiOn and in September only 279,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the i%njunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes Of a sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies we're so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
Il would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments Of the Food
Administration will stand forth 80 pre-
Aeminantly as this reduced consump-
ton Of sugar. BY 1t we have been able
10 bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation is in a position 20
that IL we choose we may return to
normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release OF ships to 90

strictsd rations. II, however, those
