 FOR LAMBETH CONFERENCE

Bishop Chauncey B. Brewster of Con- necticut sailed for Europe Tuesday in company with about one-third of the bishops of the Episcopal church. in Amer ica to attend the Lambeth conference in London, which will be attended by bish- ops of the Anglican communion of all parts of the world. Bishop Brewster will give an address near the opening of the conference which will open late in July. He will return to this country in the fall. Many important issues will come up at the conference, some growing out of the war, others of ritualistic nature.
 Lambeth is the London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who is the primate of the Church of England. A conference of this kind is occasionally held to bring together the minds direct ing the church life of the Anglican com munion. It is true that the branches of the Anglican communion are inde- pendent in each country, the Episcopal church in America, for example, but a strong relationship is felt to other branches holding the same ecclesiasti- cal views and practising the same form of worship.

CUT OUT SUGAR LUxURIEs TO PROVIDE FOR CANN

Mrs James J. Grace of Hartford,
 state chairman of the division of wo-
 mems activities, department of justice,
 has obtained statistics from Washington,
 D. C., providing that twenty per cent. of all sugar in the United States, at least
 goes into the manufacture of non-essen- tials or luxuries.
 Mrs. Grace therefore issues the fol- lowing appeal to the women of the state
 Reduce per capita consumption of su- gar one-half, for this country is far in excess of any other in the consumption of sugar in the form of luxuries. If the
 use of non-essentials as represented by | candy, soft drinks, chewing gum, etc l is curtafled one-half, plentiful supply | of sugar for the essential industries and | housewives will be assured. The coming canning and preserving season makes | this imperative. There can be no ques. tion that the curtailed demand reduced ! dry goods prices, hence all consumers
 of sugar in the state are asked to CO., operate, thereby causing a similar reduc' | tion in the price of sugar"
