action of "The Brat" revolves.
The vicissitudes and final triumph
of the Brat" child woman whose
life has been one charitable institu-
ton after another until she lands in
the chorus, form the theme of Nazi-
mova's version of Maude Fulton's
play. How the brat loses her job be-
cause she is too shabby to compete
with the other girls; how she is later
insulted and then taken to the Night
Court on a trumped up charge; and
how she is noticed by an author who
takes her home to study her a. the

new discovery. He took with him
$4,000 invested by Homer Gogarth,
farmer here, in the Aurora Boreans
Ice company, according to Hogarth,
who asked for warrant.
One blazing hot day last July, Gal
lileo, tall, dark and excitable, and
wearing an impressive black beard,
appeared on Hogarth's farm with a
surveyors instrument, pointing It to-
ward the skies. He seemed preoc-
cupied for hours, as if calculating
some abstruse problem in mathema-
tics. Hogarth was watching him.
Finally, he exclaimed excitedly,
This is the spot-the very spot"
According to Hogarth, Gallileo
tried to buy his farm, offering him a
fabulous sum, but after fourth visit,
revealed that his calculations proved
an unending flow of ice would fall
were a scoop attached to the North
pole, which Gallileo described as a
steel girder projecting from the cen
ter Of the earth. Gallileo said he
had seen it, as he had been with
cary.
He then told Hagarth his plan for
the Aurora Borealis Ice company,
taking $4,000 from Hogarth as a
partnership fee, the farmer says,
leaving Hogarth ON the farm to take
care of the ice while he made a Sec
ond trip to the pole to attach the
scoop. His story was that scoop
attached to the pole would tear loose
billions of tons of ice as the earth
revolved, and would gradually tip,
fliging its contents on Hogarth's
farm.
Cyrus Stronghold, whose farm ad-
joins Hogarth's, went to the bank
when he heard of his neighbours loss
to see if his Liberty bonds were still
there. They were.

HELcIAN PRICES ARE DEcLIN,

The war hit Belgium the hardest OF
any nation in WESTERN Europe For
the first six months after the sign
ing of the armistice, the cost OF living
was very high and there was general
privation. Improvement was gradual
even up to a few months ago. but has
recently been rapid. Today you can
buy nearly any article almost as
cheaply as in England. Some native
products are even cheaper Coal is
unrationel and there is no difficulty
in getting large household deliveries
The Belgian has been quick to realize
that IL he wants cheaper bread, cloth
ing and other necessities, he must in
crease production, create surplus for
export and bring outside money into
the country.

AUSTRALIAN CROP SMALL.

Australia has only half crop. She
harvests mostly in January. She has
been hit by one of worst drouths in
many years. Acreage was also re-
duced due to large stocks OF old
wheat and scarcity of ships. Crop is
estimated only forty millions, against
17o millions last season. An average
crop is about eighty millions. Do
mestic bread and seed wants are 40
to so millions, but stocks of old wheat
are still liberal SO she will have a
good surplus to export. Argentina
haryests mostly in December. Her
crop is above normal but not as larg.
as expected. Quality has also deter
iorated.
SUGAR FAMINE NEARLY OVER.
Sounds good, doesn't it? Thai
sweet tooth will not go hungry much
longer. Competent authorities es-
pect that by January first at least
10000 tons of the new Cuban crop
will have been shipped to American
ports for refining. fully twice as much
as sent forward in other DEFENDERS
However, most of this sugar will not
come on the market till January
From that time forward the supply
should increase steadily as sugar VIM

TURKEY PRICES SOAR
and SUPPLY IS SMALL
Fresh Birds From Farm Nav Sell at
65 Cents a Pound
Tomorrow.

With Christmas only two DAYS
away. Washington Is facink a tur-
key famine, and, worse still, prices
are soaring. In some quarters IL
was predicted fresh farm turkeys
would be selling at 58 to IS cents a
pound before Christmas.
The price for the festive bird was
taken up right where 1t left off at
thanksgiving time. In the farming
districts today turkeys are selling at
4s and so cents a pound. In the mar
kets' the prices. generally speaking.
are around the 55-cent mark, with
2-cent variations either way. Cold
storage birds were selling at so cents
up to "a cents, and, although no ac-
tual proof of the assertion was Of
fered. it was stated that some dealers
are demanding as high as 55 cents for
cold storage stock.
Dealers at the Center Market cav
there has been the same big demand
for turkeys this Christmas as during .
Thangsgiving time. Few Washington
homes probably will be without a
Christmas turkey, if the supply hold :
out-but there is every evidence thai
the supply will be greatly diminished
before this night a substantial in

All of the clubs comprising the

SANTA HANDS OUT
SUGAR AT CAPITOL
Members of Congress Given Five
Pounds Each as Present by
Louisiana Delegation.

There isn't going to be a shortage
Of sugar in Congressional cupboards.
From California each Christmas
Congress is usually flooded with or
anges. Maple sugar from Vermont
and New Hampshire always finds a
way to each Congressional office. But
this year real Louisiana sugar, which
simply can't be found at most tgro-
ceries, is the special Christmas food.
Senators Ransdell and Gay and
Congressman Martin of Louisiana are
the Santa Claus distributors of sugar.
Needless to say, the five-pound pack
ages of sugar they arc distributing
among members of Congress will be
acceptable gifts to every Congress
mans wife.
Bachelor members are prepared to
be beseiged with urgent appeals.
Because of the zone system that
regulated the distribution of sugar
last year, Congress had to do without
it's annual Christmas package from
louisiana but Congress attended to
that this year.
The zone system was cut out of the
sugar control bill. Consequently the
Louisiana delegation got on the Job,
and there's going to be plenty of
sugar for Congressional wives.

t. THE oNE-MAN CAR.

Des Moines Capital: In the cities
and towns OF the New England states
the trolley lines have been losing
money. Some of the interurban lines
have suspended business altogether.
Occasionally the lines have been kept
going ncminally by running three days
week. 1t has been difficult in New
England to agree upon what ought to
be done TO save the situation. IN
some cases the cars are run by one
man. the motorman also acting as
conductor In such cars the passon-
ger drops his nickel in the slot The
people are dissatisfied and are de-
handing first-class service, although
the patronage will not justify the same.
AT Muscatine, Ia. where the trolley
line has had difficulty in paying ex-
penses. proposition has been pending
to do away with the conductor and
run what they call ''one-man car.
The business community, seeing no
other way, has united on the one-man
car idea. But the city council, being
in control of the politicians, passed a
resolution requiring two men on each
car without specifying where the COM
pany was TO get the money for the
extra man.
We cite these facts simply to show
how difficult it is to get political
bodies to stand up and transact bust.

The Neuro Problem.

Springfield, Mass. Republican:
The negro problem in this country
has never been problem of the
south alone, but more than ever be-
fore the problem is now local as
well as general in the north also.
Both regions are in the same boat.
Since the wartime northward exodus
of negroes first reached considerable
numbers, examples of race friction
in the north have multiplied. SIMS.
ter influences may have been at
work to encourage this friction, but
it can largely be accounted for by
the inadequate facilities for caring
for the newcomers. Both materially
and spiritually they are unprovided
for Housing was of the worst. OPP
poprtunities for schooling and for
suitable recreation were wanting.
Not all of their leaders have been
wise. No doubt in many individual
cases negroes have been the aggres-
sors. AS such no one questions that
