.2-CENT PROFIT
PUTON SUGAR
Department Of Justice An.
nounces Margin for Re-
tail Dealers.

The Department OF Justice yes
terday fixed / cent per pound for
wholesalers and 2 cents per pound
for retailers as fair margins of
profit for handling of sugar. Cen
eral instructions were issued to fair
price commissioners and the United
states district attorneys authoriz-
ing them to announce the margins
and proceed with profitcering pros
ecutions in case the margins were
exceeded.
There Is no well-developed opinion
here. however. that sugar will be
sold this year at prices even ap-
proximating the low levels which
prevailed during the war and last
year. The world shortage and the
situation in Cuba, where American
apd foreign buyers are bidding up
Cuban raw sugar, will force a high
price during the next eight months
The Department of Justice, IL was
learned yesterday. now is engaged
in a survey of the world sugar sit
uation in an attempt to get figures
upon which to proceed beyond the
steps already taken.

ON CASH BONUS
Republican Opponents Seek
Democratic Aid as
LastHope.

Opponents on the House Ways and
Means Committee on the proposed
soldier aid Legislation started an
eleventh-hour effort yesterday TO
eliminate the cash bonus feature
from the bill.
Republicans on the committee Who
oppose the measure determined upon
this method of attack when IL be-
came apparent that the bill will be
reported out in some form. Some Of
the Democratic leaders on the COM
mittee were understood to have
Joined with the Republicans.
Even IL the Republicans can mus
ter fve votes for this plan, they
must get eight Democratic votes TO
put II through.
Friends OF the bonus are certain
Garner will not be able TO carry
anything like eight votes with him.
1t became known. however, that
those who insist on killing the cash
feature plan to bring in Representa-
tive Kitchin. Democrat, of North
Carolina, for the vote.
The test is scheduled for tomor-

If Rats Were Bullets
This Dog Would be
A Machine Gun

With fifty-four dead rats to her
credit in the last four days, Cousin
Dixie" the nippy little fox terrier
belonging to B. F. Marbury, of 2OS
First street southeast, is on the
road to rival the Pied Piper of
Hamelin. Her owner is considering
changing her name to Rough on
Rats"
Discovered Rodent Exodus.
The scene of Cousin Dixie's" re-
cent strong rat offensive was
around the vacant house at I'LL
B street southeast. The little fox
terrier found out that a rodent
exodus was going on and camped
on the trail of the departing rats.
She cut off their retreat, and cut
up their outposts, and generally
made a mess of their campaign.
At last report the rats forces were
getting very depleted. Cousin
Dixie only killed nine yesterday,
as compared with an average of
fifteen a day for the three pre-
ceding days.
Used to Like NEm.
Cousin Dixie" used to play with
rats, according to Mr.. Marbury.
She would catch them and carry
them around like a cat with a
mouse. But. last summer one of
her living playthings bit her. Since
then she has declared a war with
out quarter.
