SWEETS FROM NEW SOURCE

A new plant, to cost at least F million dollars, is to be built in Chi cago as a result of the sugar shortage. The plant will be used for making malt sugar from barley, and will SUD- ply a large part of it's product to con- fectioners. The plan originated with Charles Stevenson, head of the sugar division of the Food Administration, who is getting the priorities necessary for the construction of the factory.
 "A supply of malt sugar will relieve the pressure for confA tioners and manufacturers of beverages, who are in trouble over sugar" said MT. Stew enson. Malt sugar can often be used as substitute forcane. In some in- dustries it has been found that sub- stitutes are better than sugar and less expensive

PROHIBITION BILL
Senate Sub Committee Has Made
Some Important Changes in
House Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. n.-Prohibitlon
enforcement legislation advanced another
step today when the senate Judiciary COM
mittee began consideration of the bill
passed by the house last June as amend
ed and liberalized by the Judiciary sub
committee.
Like the house, the senate sub-commit-
tee adopted the plan of having separate
sections in the bill to deal with wartime
and constitutional prohibition. The sub
committee left unchanged the house detin-
ition of Intoxicating beverages as those
containing one-half of one per cent or
more of alcohol. As revised the bill will
not interfere with storage and personal
use of intoxicants in the homes of in
individuals
Probably the most liberal amendment
to the house bill is provision excepting
from penalties any persons manufacturing
Misunderstanding cider and fruit juices ex-
clusively for use in his house. This would
permit home manufacture OF light wines
and cider for personal consumption and
the amendment eXcepts by implication, III
connection with the definition of intoxi
cants, notwithstanding beverages
Stricken from the house bill was the
provision making it unlawful for pen sons
- be intoxicated or to drinks.liqlor.,o ,on
trains, street cars, jitneys, boats or other
public conveyances The house search
warrant provision also was made less
drastic
Instead of the house bills unlimited pro
vision for funds enforcing prohibition, the
senate provision fixed S3,500,0O0 for th'
first years enforcement work and leaves
this duty jointly to the internal revenu
commissioner and the department of jus

WAR ON HOARDERS
TO COMMENCE SOON
Palmer Asks for Appointment Of Fair
Price Committee In Every Country
No Power to Prosecute.

WASHINGTON, Aug ll-Attorney
General Palmer started out yesterday to
ascertain how much of the high cost of
living is due to excessive profits by retail
ers.
In a telegram to all state food admins
traitors who worked with Administrators
Hoover during the war, the attorney gen.
eral requested the appointment of a fair
price committee in each county to investi
gate what is being charged for retail nee
essities and, if in excess of what the com
mittee considers just, to publish list OF
fair prices for the guidance of the publle.
This is the extra legal means of reach
ing profteering which Mr. Palmer recent.
ly indicated was under consideration. He
has frankly admitted from the start that
there was no means to prosecute direct
| ly a man guilty of extortion in prices. Re
| tailers who are gouging the ultimate con
sumner will have to be disciplined by pub
lie sentiment, which officials have nc
doubt is sufficiently alert to the situa
| tion now to act vigorously in clear cu'
cases. Hoarders, on the other hand, cal
be reached through the wartime food law
| or the Sherman act, and Mr.. Palmer re
quested the state food administrators t,
transmit to him any evidence of boarding.
or other violations of the law which the.
might encounter in their work, with tn
promise that the governments law en-
forcement machinery would act promptly
| There is pressing necessity for tn
restoration of normal conditions" Nh
Palmer's telegram said, requesting tn
men who did such effective work durin
the war to take up the burden agar
They were asked to serve without con
pensation, the attorney general believin

was engaged in hostihties, and that II

KALEM HELD IN
BONDS OF $500
Boston Young Man Charged with
Stealing Wilmington Automobile
Had Excellent War Record.

Victor A. Kalem of Boston. who was
brought here late last week by Sheriff
Frank l.. Wellman, was arraigned in
the municipal court this forenoon on
the charge of stealing an automobile
valued at 5000 from Arthur j. Dem
ers in Wilmington last month. Attor-
ney Charles s. Chase appeared for him
and said the respondent waived exam
ination. He asked that bail be fixed
at 5000, as that would be about all the
respondent could raise, he thought.
State S Attorney E. W. Gibson made
as favorable a statement with respect
TO the respondent as he could under the
circumstances, but he said he wanted
bail large enough to insure the respon-
dent s presence when the case came uI
for trial in the county court.
Mr.. Gibson stated that Kalem was
present when the ear was stolen, and
rode in it TO Boston. He said however
that he felt that another man was the
one principally desired and there were
good prospects of catching him. He
read Kalem's discharge papers, show.
ing that he had been in the 26th divi
sion and was in service at the Chemir
des Danes, Toul, st. Mihiel and Ar
gonne sectors.
Judge Cudworth fixed bail at 500
and remanded Kalem to the custody
of Sheriff Wellman He told the res
pondent that in view of the latter I
excellent war record the bail was mad
considerably less than it otherwis
would have been.
