Cuban Sugar


 Sugar, like shoes, we once took for granted. Now procuring enough for the preserving season may be problem and sugar speak easies" are not uncommon in lands where the supply is rationedi
 Writnig to the National Geographic Society, William Joseph Showalter says
 With sugar production nearly doubled and prices mpre than quadrupl- ed since 1912 one can readily see why Cuba is the worlds Fl Dorado of 1920, and why sugar is it's king.
 "The imagination is almost overpower- ed in attempting to comprehend the vast proportions of the sugar industry of the island as it exists this year.
 "The can produced is of such tremend- ous volume that a procession of bull teams four abreast, reaching, around the earth would be required to move it. The crop would suffice to build a solid wall around the entire two thousand miles of the islands coast line as high as, an or dinary dwelling house and thick enough for a file of four men to walk abreast on it.
 ''The sugar extracted from this cane would load fleet of steamers reaching from Havana to New York, with shin for every mile of the twelve hundred that stretch between the two ports. The great pyramid, of Cheops before whose e-inspiring proportions millions of peo- pie have stood and gazedi in open-moutil- ed amazement, remains, after five thous- and years, unriEaled as as monumental pile; but Cuba's sugar output this year would make two pyramids, each outbas- ng and overlapping Cheops.
 "The wealth the outgoing sugar crop brings in is not less. remarkable in it's proportions. Four hundred dollars out of

convenient. For the first few weeks, pro- yided it is not hot weather. diapers eight cen inches square of old, soft knitted wear are very convenient Several doz- en pieces of old sheefing ton into pieces ten inches square, may be put inside.
 When diapers are removed, they should be put into a covered pail of cold waters to which 6orax has been added Later they should be washed clean with a pure soap. boiled rinsed thoroughly, but not blued and hung in the sun to dry. Soap and, bluing are very irritating, 10 a baby S skin They should be folded. pressed with a hot iron and put away. A soiled or wet diaper should never be used a second time without washing. The urine contains substances which are; very irri- tating to the skin of baby and he may be made very sore.
 Jackets-For cool mornings baby needs three short jacketts. These are made of white flannel over the kimona sleeve pattern, or they may be knitted or cro- cheted with close stitches. There should be no loose stitches or scallons or other trimmings to catch on buttons or the baby's fingers.
 Out of Door Garments-The healthy baby is taken out of doors so he must hay a wrap and hood. This wrap is made like the sleeping bag except it is of white eiderdown or flannel It may be sewed together or bound around with ribbon. At four months the upper corn CTS may be opened so as to allow the baby to get it's. hands out freely When baby begins to walk. very comfortable coat may be made from the bag. Open it and hem at the bottom, shape the top loosely by kimona slip pattern
 For winter the hood may be made of the same material as the wrap or 1t may be knitted Or crocheted For summer a silk or cotton knitted or croeheted hood of an open lace pattern and lined with the very thinnest white silk is comfort able Wasll-hoods may be made of soft white embroidered lawn and laundered without starch. The ties on the hood should be such as can be laundered cas- ,ly A little chin strap fastened at one side Of t,l., hood with a snap or hook and eye is very convenient and does away with the bow under the baby's chin.

GOOD pRosrEcrs FOR GREECE

Decidedly favorable are the operations
 W the Greeks against the Turks thus far. Given free hand to go ahead and gire the Turks to understand that they must accept the orders of the allies the Greeks have made steady progress both in Asia Minor and European Turkey It is perfectly evident that the Turks are not the fighting machine that they were been. There is division in their ranks of course but while the fighting faction lack in numbers they likewise lacks in re sources and the indications are that they realize the hopelessness of their efforts though unwilling to accept the inevitable without bloedshed.
 Il is of course the nationalist forces that are getting the attention of the Greeks but all Turkey can appreciate the significance of the situation. Greece has had ambitions for a considerable period. Having forces ready to deal with the Turks, who by the way were threaten ing to upset Greek plans, they were given the word to use them to the best advan- tage as soon as it was demonstrated that the nationalists would not abide by the al lied orders Smyrna has been removed from the danger of attack by the nation alsts and Adrianople has been captured together with the Turkish nationalist commander, Col Jafar Tayar, the latter being 2 reverse which cannot fail to end the activities of the nationaIists in Eu- ropean Turkey and to minimize such eff forts as Balgarians may be making to aid them.
 Whether the Greeks will continue to re tain Adrianople is another question. It seems hardly likely any more than it would be expected that they would hold the territory in Asia Minor from which they have driven the nationalists The successful efforts, however, and the cap ture of this important Turkish city will serve to strengthen it's position in counec- ton with it's demnads in that part cf the world, and in view of what it is doing in putting down opposition to the allied plans II will have reason to expect thatt its claims will get due consideration. Greece is playing it's cards well for the attainment of it's policy of expansion

CHANCE TO FIGHT WASTE

Disposition of the great amount of gzrhsge that aecumalates in New York each day has been a problem with which that city has struggled for many years. The solstion has been attempted in fif- ferent ways but no satisfactory method has been devised which does not have objectionable features. Putting it through tncfHerztors has proved costly and the oaoTs obnoxious while the towing of the material 10 sea to be dumped is likewise expensive and open to the complaint that much Of it drifts back to the shores where 1t becomes quite offensive as the Burning of it elsewhere.
 Thus there are objections which can be raised to each method. and in addi- sion to the other bad features it is shovn that there is large waste which gees with the practice of dumping the sArSzge at sea.
 There is produced each day in New York about a thousands tons of garbage. According to tests which have been made each ton of garbage averages 65 pounds CT grease. This grease contains about eight per cent of slycerine and the re- nainder could be used for the manufac- tnrs cf soz7.

AS CONFIDENT As EVER

Sir Thomas LiptoH by the way in which he has accepted his failure to lift the cup after he seemed about to take it away by the gracious manner in which he has congratulated the winning crew and admitted that Reseiute is the better boat has shown himself to be the same true sport he ever has been. But even in defeat his confidence is stsn unshaken. He is of the firm opinion that. he can yet have constructed yacht that can CT oss the Atlantic and be, built en such lines and be handled in such a manner as to defeat whatever product American yacht builders can put up against it. He has been iDabued with this same confidence snfce he launched his effort to regain the cup years ago. Although deeisively beat en in this years races he nevertheless made with Shamrock " the best show ing thus far and with the assistance of a fiuke came mighty near to victory. At no other time has he gotten as much en- couragement from the contests.
 That he doesn't intend to menopo1ize the position of challenger is indicated by his determination to wait a year and give others who may desire a chance to make try for the cup With that point made clear he plans to renew his efforts in a cause which lies close to his heart Whether he will stick to the same sort of model that came so near to victory, though it can hafFy be claimed that the close contest was due to the method of construction. is something that only time can determine, but it seems certain that if the trophy is ever carried back to Flu rope it will be through Lipton;s efforts. This seems a reasonable indication when it is announced that Sir Thomas has made provision in his will whereby funds will be provided for the continu anee of the races in the expectation that time will develop yacht that will be able to outdo the best efforts of builders and seamen on this side of the water. It may be as some in London claimed that the races are getting to be bore but that apparently isn't. the way Lipton looks upon them.

AWAITING THE TERMS

In connection with the struggle be- tween the Poles and the bolsheviki in te- rest ce1ters at the present time on lhe s-znistlce terms that will be presented by the latter when the representatives of ,the tEo governments get together So- Niet Russia Of course realizes that it holds an advantageous position but it Likewise knows its own weakness and it .ts aware of course of the fact that it has let il be understood that it is desir- ous of peace Now it remains to be seen what il will propose in connection with sthe Polish appeal for an understanding .thss vsu sa6 the fighting and open the . way to the .hzking of peace. It cannot stal to recognize that Poland though be- si1g dr7veh back is not on it's knees. It is sRble to put up good fight and it is sure src have the backing of the allies to : Whatever extent il is required Their ssvn protection lies in upholding Poland Ven though they are urging peace in that quarter.
 The situation is such that the bolshe- sviki may well understand that the Poles will not be disposed to accept anything in the way of terms. They unauestionably have knowledge of the report of the Franco British mission to Poland and it's dnding to the effect that Poiand's man f'ever is sufficient and that it's position IS not So desperate but what it can be retrieved without great difficulty by the sending of munitions to Poland. the em- ployment of French and British officers and the regrouping of the Polish army
 It may well be therefore an act Of wis dom on the part Of the bolshevIki if they shape their terms in such way as to win the approval Of the Poles instead of
 making them so drastic that it would simply call for resentment and the re- sumption of the struggle on a scale that would show what Poland can do when it's hack is against the wall. and al the same time force the allies to get into the fight for the determination of the real supren- aey. l. is apparently a time for the exer- cise Of discretion if in fact that is any sin
 cere desire on the part of soviet Russia for peace. Russia likewise understands
 that much else of deep concern to itself
 will rest upon the way the armistfce ap-
 Peal is treated.

THE CROP oUTLanK

While weather conditions in certain respects may not have been all that could have been ordered the reports which are coming from about the country give in dicztion that those who are working the soil are either doing much better than it was expected that they could with depict cd numbers or else there is somthing about the way in which the crops are be- Ing taken czre of by nature which gives promise that the heavy reduction in production that was anticipated may be stdetracked.
 Certainly when the outlook in Kansas IS for 1l7.e0e. 900 bushels of wheat it gives encouragement that this stapIe will ee available in sufficient quantity to meet reqGire8Inets even if it isn't a bumper yield for with other wheat flowing states doing as well there is no danger of shortage, and this seems to be rlessingiy borne out by the breall which has taken place in the price of wheat within the month. Even a promising out look is subject to changing conditions but there cannot fail to be enthusiasm ,ver the present prospects in contrast to what had been forecasted early in the 5eason.
 While great dependence is placed upon wheat it is not the only necessarSi grain md fortunate is | that the prospects for sorn are excellent and these grains cer- alniy have tremendous effect directly md indirectly upon every household.
 One fact that stands out plainly in his connection is that there could not 's tais promise Of a large yield regard ess of weather conditions as hefp if here had not been proper preparations 'oF Il on the part of the farmers. frhe srzsn had to be planted and even with he heisf shortage facing them the esti- mates now made indicate that they went Rhead with the preliminaries necessary o production holding apparently to the SsiieS that if there was a large crop tfere would be some way of harvesting c. They laid the foundation for big Ez~es1 and from the prospects now. wnich are of course as much subject to change as they were a month ago. they and the country are going to benefit thereby

 When I was in the Pontaneell camp last May began. T was great friends with a stunning young private, Hal liar rimore. We took some delightful walks in the maryelously long twilight.
 "One evening we discovered walled garden right in the. midst of the. camp It seemed that it must be a dream for il was so foreign to all it's surroundings that we felt it was hardly. possible that il was real. A guard was slowly, pacing by the little bridge that led across 8 tiny moat into it. Ferns. palms, roses. lilies and sweet smelling shrubs emboWered the marble seats and the stately statues of Venus and Diana who were the only inhabitants of the garden.
 Hal loved poetry and. always carried a book of verse in his O. D. shirt. He said the gardens name should be 'En' .chantment, and after We had seated our selves on a marble bench he read to ms from the Idylls of the King We had such delicious time that We decided te return the next evening. ~
 See what have | said gayly when Hal and were safe in our secret gar den again. I displayed little bag oi almond cakes that one of my admirers had brought me from Brest and this book of war verse.
 ' Where did you get that?' he asked eagrly looking to see whether The Mag pies of Picardy' was in it. told hin that borrowed it from one of the girls so that we could read it in 'Enchant- ment.T We read the Magpies and many other of HaFs favorites s,,
