To Expedite Work
No recommendations are to be
made to the State Constitutional
Commission by its members sitting
as committee of the whole until re-
ports of subcommittee have been
made, according to resolution
adopted by the Commission at the
opening of the final session of the
week to-day. This action, taken at
the instance OF James Gay Cor
don, Philadelphia. was followed by
the statement by Chairman William
/. Schaffer that action by the COM
mittee of the whole was to be con-
sidered tentative and designed to
expedite the preliminary work so
that the Commission could be ready
for hearings, after which it would
put it's findings into final form. Mr..
Schaffer emphasized the fact that
the work now under way was pre-
liminary.
The Constitutional provision on
registration of land titles was re-
ferred to committee in charge of
legislation aud kindred subjects.

When a group of women get to-

variably centers on-not the chill
dren-nor husbands-nor the serv-
ant oroblem-BUT the sugar
shortage, and, right at the psyche
logical moment, white syrup comes
to the fore.
Pure white syrup looks very
much like sugar dissolved in water
and 1t can be used for everything
that cane sugar is used for. While
it's use on the table may not be
quite as convenient as sugar, it
is most excellent substitute for
table use when sugar is not to be
had, as it not only provides
sweetness, but is practically equal
to sugar in food value.
Housewives can well conserve
their dwindling supply of sugar
by using Golden Crown White
Syrup in cooking, baking and
homemade confections, and even
on the table for sweetening coffee,
oatmeal and desserts. 1t can be
used for every purpose for which
sugar is used. 1t is always handy
