is. CAN'T SET
PRICE OF SUGAR,
WYCKOFF SAYS
Only Government Action Pos
sibIe to Limit Margin of
Retailers Profits.
SELLS FOR LESS HERE

Indianapolis is getting sugar at a
lower rate than any other large center Of
the country. Stanley wyckof, state fair
price commissioner, said today.
Prices prevailing in Cincinnati and
other middle western cities are from 80
cents upward" said Mr.. Wyckoff, while
Se price to the consumer here is e5l3
~snts and 26 cents a pound
Sugar is selling wholesale in all parts
= the world from 20 cents pound TO so
=snts, according to brokerage prices in
she hands of the fair price commissioner.
THIS MAY HELP
CLEAR ONE POINT.
The following letter from a sugar con-
sumer. written to The Times, and a re-
~ by Mr.. Wyckon, may serve to clear
80 a puzzling point for many persons ::
How can a retailer charge 81 cents q
pound for sugar II the government sets
price?
1T sold on the market May 1 for 81
cents and Mr.. Wyckof claims they have
the right to do this as the retailer paid
IS cents.
Has the government set a limit on the
price at which sugar may be sold?
HOW ACCOUNT
FOR DIFFERENCE.
Il would like to learn how they &C
count for the difference in price at the
rehneries and the retail price of 81
cents.
DO you know of any way on earth
to force the issue so we can get sugar
at fair prices?"
In answer to the first question" said
Mr.. Wyckof, ''the government has not
set a price for sugar, because 1t can not
The government has set a limit on
margins OF profit and we are not per-
hitting any persons in Indianapolis to
take a profit OF more than 10 per cent.
UNCLE SAM HAS
NO SUGAR NOW.
'In the war the government bought
the sugar crop and sold it at a fixed
price, but il doesn't own any sugar now.
The sugar that sold for 81 cents on
May 1 was a part of the sugar which
we have since discovered was coming
here through Logsnsport and for which
profteering prices were being charged.
Retailers bought that sugar at S5
cents, because they could get all they
wanted of it, while they cannot get all
they want at the fair price.
SEEMED TO WANT SUGAR
AT MOST ANY PRICE.
People wanted the sugar and retail
ers were willing TO get it for those who
would pay the price.
There is no great difference between
the price Of sugar at refneries and the
price on the retail market here.
The refinery quotation today was IS
cents f. o. b. seaboard and sugar WAS
selling here at 2512 cents-considering
freight charges, and jobber's and retail
as profits that seems fair enough"

are coming from the far away planet
and whether they are electrical or
otherwise.
The tests, Prof.. Todd said. will be
made with a recorder he has worked
on for several years. The device
carries records sensitive to all at
mospheric waves and which will hold
impressions made in such form that
they may be studied when the balloon

Experts from the Rockefeller In
Btitute are preparing methods for
studying the pathological and physio-
logical properties held in the upper
