place. The platform and half of the
floor were fitted with tables for Of
ficers and delegates. The remainder
Of the floor and the circular gallery
were reserved for the public, admis-
sion being by ticket.

consisted of women. The number Of
young priests was conspicuous.
There was a brief demonstration
when the delegates advanced down the
center aisle.

leaders was their most noticeable
characteristic. There were hardly a
half dozen gray heads in the group.

ment and one of the leaders of the
party, introduced in a few terse SEN
fences Charles S. Burgess, a young
man who acted as chairman and who
made a short speech which was much
applauded.

Prohibition Raises
The Price of Sugar
Associated Press

LONDON, Dec. S-Prohibition in
America helped materially in raising
prices of suger two cents a pound in
England, according to the economic
experts. This is the way the situation
is explained:
Since the American has been cut
off from his cocktails he has been
consuming prodigious quantities of
candy, and has been drinking oceans
of ncndescript but sugarly connections
which are vended over the soda foun-
tain bar. At least such is the obser-
vation of his British brethren. In 9TH
er words, the American is making SUI
gar a substitute for alcohol. Because
Of this the United States has less
sugar to export, and because there is
a general shortage of sugar through
out the world anyway, England can
not get what she wants and conse-
quently has had to raise the price.
