Sugar Supplies and Prices.
the Editor Of The Star;

~ tHt iuiupF OF Inc star;
Predictions of 20cent sugar through
out the coming year are scarcely ms
titled by the facts. The sugar now he
ing retailed in Washington at 90 No
~ cents is not Cuban advance crop'
sugar. but consists of odd lots which
nave been purchased from dealers
not refiners, in New York. Washing
ion grocerS exhibit invoices of this
sugar showing that they have maid
as high is 2l cents for it, indicating
that several profits have been added
in New York before the Surar vac
shipped here.
Cuban advance crop" sugar is be-
ginning to reach Washington and
has been sold to grocerS at a whole
sale price of 161a cents This should
retail at margin of certainly nor
more than cents, so that even at
present prices 20-cent sugar shouId
be the exception and not the rule.
The Cuban sugar now being dis
tributed was purchased as raw sugar
in Cuba at prices as high as II ana
12B cents, equivalent to a price with
frelsht and duty paid Of about 13 J.
cents. 1t was sold as refined sugar i'm
New York at from 1920 less 2 per
cent to 1915 less per cent, the Fed
eral &C. A. Spreckels) quoting the
higher level.
AS against the basic price of II to
121s cents, which prevailed for Decem
ber deliveries. however, sugar is be-
ing sold in Cuba for February and
March deliveries at S%4 cents Hun
dreds of thousands of tons have al
ready been contracted for on this
basis Here in a period of a few
months we have decline of almost
; J.. cents pound. and since the gov
crnment has announced that it will
not compete for the purchase of Gu
ban sugar the probabilities are that
il will go still lower.
The peak OF cane sugar production,
not only III Cuba. but in Hawaii and
Porto Rico, is in the early spring
months. At that time there will be an
abundance of sugar. The vital ques-
lion is whether this supply will be so
handled as to avoid another short
age IN the last three months of the
calendar year.

TO MAKE AND HOLD FRIENDS
Knaek That Can De AequIrsd BY Mess
People, and 10 Well Worth
the Having.

Few people are naturally blessed
with the happy faculty Of making
friends easily. With most people II
is more or less an acquired art. II
you wish to acquire this art, don't
be discouraged at the apparent ease
with which some Of your friends seem
to get on" with everybody. They've
only learned few more Of the
tricks of the trade" so to speak,
than you have. That's all. The main
point is that they have learned them.
A person who would have friends
must show himself friendly. Just you
try II and see II II doesn't act like q
charm.
Half the battle Is to meet people ~
II II may be taken for granted that
they are glad to see you, and that
you are glad TO see them. Nine cases
out of ten II you are genuinely glad
to see them and show II they will be
glad to see you.
Don't always expect the other per
son to make the advances II there 10
no good reason why you shouldn't
make them. Sometimes the very per-
sons who seem most ''unapproacha-
Bile" turn out to be quite willing to be
friendly If they are approached in the
right way. Look for the good In peo-
pie, always and you will be very sure
to find II.

Early irIsK History.

In the earliest time Of which there
Is any record, Ireland was inhabited
by tribes Of the great Celtic family,
to which belonged the ancient Brit.
ons Of the larger island. and the Gauls
of the country now known a. France
Each tribe had it, chief, and after q
time supreme monarch came to the
front. One Of the most famous Of
these was Brian, who overthrow the
invading Danes In the battle Of Clon.
tart, fought In the year 1914 near Dub.
lin. He was slain In his tent at the
close Of the fght. After his death
the supreme monarchy was often In
complete allegiance, misrule and an.
srchy widely prevailed and the ancient
form of society was largely broken up.
1t Is said that Roderick O'Connor, 500
Of Turlough, was the last Of the mon-
archs Of Celtic Ireland. From that
time the influence Of Anslo-Normans

Eormina a Child,a ldaaa.

Priceless opportunities belong to q
mother to give to the baby, with his
whole life before him. the true foun-
dations of character and chances Of
future happiness and greatness So
the first thing wise woman does 10
to reason the matter out, deciding on
method of action which can be pursued
with as little deviation as possible.
Preparation is needed for just as love
does not bestow mysterious instinct
as to the proper physical treatment Of
a baby, so affection alone will not
prove a sufficient guide or teacher In
the matter Of character training. One
has to cultivate the power Of restrain.
Ing impulse, Of infinite patience and
infinite self-control and firm grasp Of
those principles which underlie the for
nation of character. BY possessing
these powers herself. the mother Is
able to direct child's conduct and to
suggest motives to him at time when
his impulses are natural and his ideas
yet uniformed, when he will learn 1t
orally uhconsciOusly.

RAILROADS APPEAL TO
WILSON AGAINST RULING
Say Comptroller Warwick's Dcci-
sion Regarding Payment OF Rail.
way Deficits Works Hardship.
IBy Associate

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1.-THE rail.
roads of the country appealed today
to President Wilson against the
ruling of the Comptroller of the
Treasury that the Treasury Depart
ment might withhold from the roads
all further payments due them under
the guarantee provisions of the trans
portation act until final accounting
had been completed by the carriers.
Comptroller Warwick ruled that
claims OF railroads for income de-
hcits during the period between
March and September 80. certified
for payment by the Interstate Com
merce Commission for less than the
total deficit for the entire period,
could not be made under the terms
position that the income guarantees
to the roads must be paid in full
and not he piccemcal.
Alfred l.. Thorn, general counsel OF
the Association Of Hallway Execu-
tives. explained today that the roads
had appealed TO the President because
they believed the comptroller's ruling
was an erroneous construction of the
law. which. he said. clearly intended
that partial payments should be made
when the various amounts had been
determined The comptroller's deci-
sion. he added. would work an undue
hardship on the railroads by post
poning the guaranty payments to
them until the final returns for each
of the six months had been calculated.
