SUGAR PRICE STILL. UP
Wholesalers Say They Must Sell
Old Stocks at Old Scale

The price Of sugar has not dropped
in Philadelphia. despite the drop in
price from manufacturers to some east
ern wholesalers. This was stated by q
member Of Wholesale grocery firm in
Philadelphia today.
1--WE are stocked UP at the high
prices" he said, ''and naturally we
must sell at the prevailing price until
we unload our present stocks
One big sugar refining company. Ar
buckle Bros. of New York. has taken
the initiative in the endeavor to break
the deadlock that exists In the sugar
market Refners, wholesalers and re
tailers have, all acquired stocks on a
rising market and buying has fallen of
with no move to reduce prices, it is
said.
Arbuckle Bros. have reduced the price
of refined sugar to seventeen and one
tenth cents pound, while other re-
finers are selling to their jobbers as
high as twenty two cents.
Cuban sugar Is coming into this
country in the raw state at thirteen and
four one -hundrcdth cents a pound. and
it is said that there is no apparent limit
to the supply available. SO that the
sugar famine" plea for high prices
will no longer hold water.

CHORUS GIRL MOTHER
TO SEE HER DAUGHTER
After Years of Separation Damaris
Easton Will Meet Her
Child.

BALTIMORE, JAM 2s.-Damaris
Easton will see her daughter this af-
ternoon, for the first time since the
child was a baby too young to lisp
her mothers name. She is now eleven
years old.
Damaris Easton is the former
chorus girl who came here with her
mother and her fiance, Jacques Bus
tanoby, the New York restaurateur,
on Saturday She told the story of
how she was separated from her
daughter. Marjorie, when Marjorie
was little bit of a thing, not a year
old, when she, the mother, was only
fifteen years old herself, and of how
she searched the country and finally
found Marjory, who had been put in
the care of the Henry Watson Child
ren's Aid Society.
She entered proceedings before
Judge Gorter in city court for the
recovery of the child. She and Mr..
Bustanoby are to be married and will
settle in California, and the mother
wants Marjorie with her there.
Mother and daughter will meet in
Judge Gorter's court. And the bear
ing OF the child toward the mother
will have much to do with determin-
ing the final disposition of the case.

TELLSOF WONDERS
. OF FACIAL SURGERY
Major J. 3. eby, Of Walter Reed,
Shows How Mems visages
Are Remade.

Miracles OF modern science were
shown at George Washington Uni-
versity last night One thought he
was In q machine shop rather than
at a clinical lecture in which stu
dents, physicians and dentists were
introduced to the wonders OF maxilio
facial surgery.
Soldiers. whose faces had been torn
to an almost unacceptable pulp
were there. But their faces were re-
stored. Jaws. noses and cheeks had
been replaced with such care and
skill that. with tn. exception OF sew
eral minor scars, they scarcely could
be distinguished from. their former
appearance.
Various parts OF the bodies OF some
of these soldiers had been so trans
planted that their nose was part OF
their ribs. What was formerly their
shin bone was now their jaw. Com
pletely blown away cheeks were built
up and rounded out with chunks Of
fatty tissue cut away from their alb
dominal region. This was covered
with skin from their arms or legs.
Soldier Pstie.ts Present. -
The lecture was delivered by Major
]. b Eby. maxillo facial surgeon at
Walter Reed Hospital. He had with
him a number of his soldier patients
to demonstrate his work. His lecture
was otherwise illustrated with stere-
opticon slides. plaster casts and sp-
paratus.
This apparatus was OF the simplest
construction. yet accomplishing the
most astounding results. There were
mechanical jaws which were almost
lifelike. There were plates, screws,
hinges, springs, and practically all Of
the stock common to a machine shop
built up into oddly shaped metallic
devices to become part OF a man and
to perform human functions.
Some OF Major Eby's patients were
strangely rigged up. There was one
Yank who had two long metal prongs
protruding from his mouth. To these
was attached sort OF, superstruc-
ture. several arms extending to his
nose, which was clasped, with a PIN
GER arrangement. while other extern
sions reached to all parts of his face
and head.
FIX Hopeless Cases.
Major Eby frst showed the pic
lures of the soldiers when they were
brought into base hospitals from the
battlefield. All of these were pitiful
sights. The faces of the majority
had been pierced with bullets or shell
Fragments, although there were illus
trations OF liquid fire burns.
The point of exit of the bullets
usually left a hole big enough to put
a mans fist in 1t. 1t looked like al
most a hopeless condition to repair.
Yet IL was done, as Major Eby
showed. And, what was more, where
enunciatinn had been destroyed by
the wound. the soldier spoke very
distinctly last night. Likewise the
facial expression of the soldiers pres
ent were returning, and all of them
could already smile.

feat in their game of basketball at
Herman last Friday evening. The
game was hard fought turnout but
was marred by much rough play in
which style of game the Morris lads
could not hope to compete with their
heavier opponents.
The local boys took the lead
early in the game and maintained 1t
for the. first half but shortly after
the fntermission baskets by Haley
and Smith for Herman gave them
the lead and they were never headed
the game ending with Morris on the
short end of 25-18 score.
The entire Morris team put up a
fine game and showed spirit of
dash and fight which should carry
them far in the championship race.
With four regulars on the side lines
and outweighed rs lbs. to the man
they gave a demonstration Of pluck
