FAMILIES F|RST,''
IS SUGAR ORDER
Government To Begin Ration
ing Tomorrow and House.
holders Will Get Preference
WILL FIGHT H0ARDIN N G

Families first, others in the order of
their need.
That will be the government attitude
in supervising the distribution of the
supply of sugar to prevent famine.
The government supervision formally
goes into effect tomorrow, but already
retail stores are working along lines
outlined as the government policy.
John A. Mccarthy. sugar manufac-
turer and distributor who has been
assigned to this district as distributor,
says the family need for sugar over
shadows all others and that, accord
ingly. the families will be supplied,
even if other users have to have their
supplies curtailed.
Only small supply of sugar is
available in Philadelphia. but with
proper conservation it is believed the
situation can be met without danger of
n famine. Sugar boarding must be
done away with, however. Mr.. Nc
Carthy says, if the famine is to be
averted.
One Pound to Each
One pound of sugar to purchaser is
the method being followed in retail
stores to avert the shortage. The regu-
lar wartime sugar rationing rules will
go into'effect tomorrow.
A slight improvement in the sugar
situation is expected by George IL.
Earle, Jr., president of the Pennsylva- =
MIA Company, when the beet sugar crop
begins to come on. the market.
''The beet t-sugar crop will help to
relieve the scarcity here, but not to
n,yNn hA.
of supply will be needed to satisfy the
demands of the West. The West, you
know, has been shut off from sugar
shipments from the eastern and Gulf
refineries. The Louisiana cane crop
has been the poorest in years and will
have little effect on the general situa-
| ton"
Under the wartime rationiDg system
candy manufacturers and confectioners
| will receive only 80 per cent O. their
normal supplies. Bakers probably will
be reduced to 20 per cent, and other less
essential users of sugar proportionately
Will Fight Hoarding
The success of the wartime distribu
ton will depend largely upon the house =
holders willingness to play fair and not
try to buy more sugar than they are
entitled to.
Hoarding tactics on the part of some
housewives have already been reported
by many retailers.
Managers of chain stores report that
certain of their customers visit different
branch stores in turn and try to buy
sugar at each. Under the rationine
system retailers probably will sell sugar
only to their known patrons and keer
check on them to see that none gets
more than his share. That plan worked
well during the war, the dealers say.

URGES AID FOR ITALY
Visitor Asks v. S. to Save Nation
From Famine

In a letter to Secretary of State
Lansing, G. II. Miller, who has just
returned from Italy, declares the Italian
people are beyond the power of argu-
ment," and that they would rather
''die than be threatened or coerced."
The letter has been made public by
Mrs: Benjamin Miller, president of the
National Fund for War Orphans of
Italy.
Italy, Mr.. Miller AYERS, fas suffered
from the war more than any of the
other of the Entente nations and is
now. on the verge of famine. He con-
cludes:
For self preservation, if for no
higher reason, should we not try to undo
some of the harm already done-even at
this late day to help, not to hinder?
Without coal, without raw materials,
Italy can give no employment to her
demobilized soldiers. With food at
famine prices for the masses of her peo-
pie, added to unemployment and a burn
ing sense of injustice, what better soil
could be prepared for anarchy-a
menace to the whole world?'
