Georgia Tech famous, is no longer

A concerted drive to secure the pas

make the school board OF the District
elective by the people will be launch
ed on Wednesday night next at a
meeting OF the Citizens Joint Com
mittee. ...-a
Roy G. Claf1in. chairman OF the com
mittee, announced today that commit

House and Senate; that organizations
In the District would memorialize

question up before adjournment OF

confined to the accredited representa-
tives OF various organizations which

Another extremely interesting point
in the bill is the fact that not even

THE SUGAR OUTLOOK

Production of sugar is slowly increasing in our
country and Europe but consumption is also gain
ing and prices of sugar will not fall much, is the
opinion of experts.
The increase in European acreage is reported
at Is per cent over last year while acreage in our
country has risen to ever 100000 acres.
European beet acreage in 1914 totalled s.
434 1916, which fell off during the war to 100000
acres and this accounts for the world sugar scarcity
Sugar production in Germany this year rises
from 100000 metric tons in 1919 to 1,115500 metric
tons for 1920
There should be some decline in sugar prices but
the world shortage is far from being overcome,
The labor cost of making SUGAR and high cost
Of I'll material will prevent sugar. ever going
back TO pro-war prices.
Prohibition of the linuor traffic and consequent
increased use Of confectionery and sweets in all
forms are also price factor.
