Stray Comets,
Vagabonds of Heaven

The Harvard astronomical observa-
tory announces the appearance Of two
new comets in the skies.
Such celestial visitors are always
interesting, if only for the reason that
there is so much of mystery about
them. They emerge from the depths
of outer space and most of them
presently depart. Now and then there
is one that swings for a while about
the sun in an elliptical orbit, but
sooner or later it breaks up or takes
fight into the cosmic void, disappear
ing forever.

Miss Dean that makes the majority

contrary is due to the fact that the

played up in the daily papers, where

be dismissed with single line.

Big Sugar Drop
Thought Unlikely

delphia-Although Sugar was
quoted by both Philadelphia and New
York refiners last week at II cents a
pound, local brokers expressed the
opinion that the reports circulated
from Washington that sugar would be
selling at II cents pound retail
within a few weeks were unfounded.
The only refinery to reduce the price
of the commodity in this city was the
W. J. McCahan Company which
quoted it at II cents, less two percent
for cash, a drop Of one and one-half
cents from last weeks price. The
Franklin Sugar Refinery Company
quoted sugar at % cents, which has
been it's price for some time.
The present drop in prices is caused
by an unnatural condition of the mar
ket, according to H. A. N. Daily, a To-
cal broker and president of the Ma
tional Canned Foods and Dried Fruit
Brokers Association.
There is at present" said Mr.. Daily
IAN over abundance of sugar in the
United States, despite the fact that
there is world shortage. This condi-
ton has been brought about by the
fact that the United States was willing
to pay high prices for sugar during
the recent acute shortage.
these high prices attracted the
product from all parts of the world
as the other countries were unable
to pay the greatly inflated prices will
ingly paid by the United States.
Have Hoarded Sugar
ut has been a habit with American
housewives to hoard as great a guam
tity of sugar as possible for the puI-
pose of withstanding any possible
famine Now both the decreased
prices and abundant supply have per-
suaded the people to use these stores
and if necessary replenish them at q
lower price.
"This has had it's effect upon the
trade Jobbers who were in normal
times able to dispose of 200 barrels
weekly are now unable to sell little
more than fifty barrels. This effect
has also been felt by the refneries.
"The buying which people will have
to do because of their exhausted stores
and the annually increased consump-
ton during the canning and preserving
season which starts the latter part
of this month and continues for about
eight weeks will quickly consume the
surplus of sugar which is now in this
country.
"As the supply of raw sugar this
year is 1,25S,437 tons below that of last
year, it will be extremely difficult for
this country to replenish its supply at
the present low figures"
Mr.. Daily also declared that the
forcing of the raw sugar market to a
low level would enable other coun-
tries to buy again. With these coun-
tries purchasing, this country woul1
have to bid higher, forcing the price
of the refined product up-Philadel-

The place to fight Ireland's trouble

American knows the report that the
admiral Of the United states Navy
made about the reception they got at
the hands OF the Sim Feiners, would
forget the idea Of supporting such
class.
Ireland's contribution OF men to the
success Of the war was the lowest OF
sill countries, and what was at the
front was not very dependable. How
many Irishmen OF military age left
ireland at the early period Of the war

out Of reason.
They have had as much privileges in
the United kingdom, and also just as
equal as England, Wales and Scotland
and because they are so stubborn, the
Irish are still dragging. and viii be
dragging until they submit TO law and
order, and bring themselves 10 the
front, after which they shall call the
attention Of the world for their just
rights.
Therefore, the fact that they did not
unitedly help the Allies for freedom
and win the war, they should receive
the penalty Of not receiving the free
dom they did not help TO achieve.
We have enough demand FOR our

DRAw DOWN THE SHADES.

To the Editor OF The Evening Journal
Sir-At the present time when the
Ninth ward OF our city, especially, has
been so much wrought up over the
many robberies, it has occurred 20 me
that 4. would be a good idea If the
residents OF homes, after making the
lights for the evening. would draw
down the shades, and in this way shut
out the view Of any person who might
be passing by with the thought in
mind OF molesting the family later in
the night.
Any person could very easily con-
ceal himself on the front OF back porch.
and with the shades up, get a very good
idea Of the layout Of the house, and
perhaps, too, the members Of the fam
ily.
Keep the shades down, and thus help
10 frustrate the efforts OF the BASTARD
ly fellow who prowls about after dark.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3O-Unemploy-

midwest during the last month, while
the volume Of business has declined,
the Seventh Federal Reserve bank Of
Chicago reported today in a survey

While men are more plentiful than

amount of idleness is no greater at

Fin the steel plants have been thrown

"The labor scarcity in the steel
districts of few months ago has

are at the gates seeking employment

"but this is manifesting itself more

The report emphasized that the
let-down in business activity in the
midwest appeared to be less than is

Discussing business conditions in
