 chased by contract in those islands
 and merely stopped here en route to
 England, France and elsewhere for
 the purpose of being refined.
 MT. Rainey looked up comparative
 prices on sugar and found that the
 price on sugar in this country in No-
 vember was but little more than half
 cent pound higher than in Eng
 land, and in November, but one cent
 higher. The difference is accounted
 for by Americas war tariff. "The prices in the other countries which | received sugar produced in Cuba and which passed through the United States refineries were higher than in | the United States" MT. Rainey said. During the months of November and December practically no sugar pro- duced in the United States was ex- ported. It was all consumed here" Calling attention to the purpose of such misrepresentationS, MT. Rainey wrote his constituent: 'I have exposed many of these arr ticles in the past, and I am glad you called my attention to this one; all of which illustrates what we are up | against and all of which shows the character of the fraudulent misrep- resen tations which are being scatter ed broadcast in an effort to discredit the present administration. have confidence in the inte1ligece of the American people, especially the intel | lfgence of the rural sections where | men read and think, and it is this

 'The British have a number of Hand1ey-Page airplanes ready for flights into the country for transpor. tation purposes. As soon as warm weather arrives they will begin to transport goods from Urga, the capi. tai of Mongolia, into China. Com merce is now flowing into that coun- try, instead of Russia, where it prev iously went before the BoIsheviki got control of the country"
 The people of Mongolia are mostly Mongo1s, Russians and Chinese. They are very interesting" the ex- plorer said. He said that, although they worship a Living God" they do not neglect to purchase the very latest inventions of the outside world. In Urga the best automobiles made are seen along with ponies and dusty caravans on the main street.
 Their Living God,' or "Hutuktu'' as he is generally called, has all the finest autos, pianos, photographs, microscopes, electric systems, type writers, and in fact everything a mail order catalogue contains. But the Living God" is eighty years old and does not use any of them. 'tAs long as he has them to gaze upon he is satisfed,' said MT. Andrews.
 Mrs. Andrews accompanied her husband on the expedition as the off, f1cial photographer, and early in April will exhibit hundreds of ''still'' pic- lures as we'll as motion pictures ia ken during the hunting.
 Among the 1900 animals brought back was a Big Horn sheep which holds the record for size. Its horns measure 50 inches in length and 20 inches in circumference. The animal is about feet high and weighs ap- proximately 150 pounds.
 MT and Mrs. Andrews said they want to go back.

New York, Mar. 10.-Have you ever used the automobile for antelope hunting? Probably not. At least not on the wild praries of Mongolia There, however, the auto seems to be the only means of transportation fas, enough to catch the elusive animal And it has to be a very fast machine at that.
 The antelope can go sixty miles an hour and not think anything of it, according to Ray Chapman Andrews associate curator of mamono1ogy at the American Museum of Natural History, who has just returned from a two years expedition into Mongo- Ha. He said antelope hunting by auto was the most wonderful sport in the world"
 'sThe nile-a-minute rate is no ex- aggeration," declared MT. Andrews ''I have raced scores of the animals with the auto I took on the expedi- dition, and the speedometer registered the mile-a-ninute race every time. All of them would keep neck and neck at this clip for about two or three miles. Then they would drop down to fifty and forty. I have raced with one for twenty minutes going thirty and thirty-flve miles an hour.''
 MT. Andrews returned Saturday and brought back 1900 animals about eight tons by weight, including rare specimens of antelope, sheep and tigers. Yesterday he related his experiences.
 The explorer said people here have largely transformation concerning Mongolia
 '@They believe it is nothing but sandy waste" he continued. Mon. golia today is the Canada of Asia It is rich with grazing lands, furS spruce forests and fine agricultural lands. I only hope Americans will take advantage of the opportunities afforded in that country. The Brit ish and Italian interests are already there.

Claims American Sugar
 Is Not Being Exported

Washington, D. C., March H. Partisan efforts to convince the American people that they are paying high prices for sugar at the expense of huge exports to foreign countries are denounced by Representative Henry T. Rainey, Democrat, of Him ois, who has made an investigation or the sugar situation and learns that no American sugar is being export ed.
 The attention of MT Rainey was called to this character of partisan propaganda by an Illinois constituent who sent him a newspaper clipping entitled Americans Pay for Big Ex- port of Cheap Sugar." The story was carried by a news service and was evidently inspired, the purpose being to persuade the American people that foreign buyers have been allowed to come into this country and buy up stocks of sugar for shipment abroad, resulting in exorbitant prices on su- gar here while other nations are profting.
 "As a matter of fact" said MT. Rainey, nothing of the kind has oc- cured. None of our sugar is being exported. We consume it all at home and the retail price here does not differ materially from the retail price in other countries. The tariff charges we make here, which we have retained for war purposes, &C., count for the difference in retail prices between this country and Eng land"
 The monthly summary of foreign commerce of the United States for November, MT. Rainey advised his constituent, shows that America s sugar exports amounted to 129, ,149,- TIT poun ds, valued at $10,521, ,63S. Practically none of this was produced in the United States, but came from Cuba or the nearby British Islands in the form of raw sugar and was

NOU cannot think of anything much
u prettier to dance in than this
flower-lilxe frock, which might be made
accent on "taffeffta." For there is
of either satin or taffeta-with the
something joyous in the crispness of
this particular silk that endows every
frocl1 made of it with a certain buoy
ancy and the looms turn it out in ex-
quisite shades of every color under
the sun. No other silk is SO tract
able when bouffant and spirited drap-
cries are needed. But smooth, lus-
trous satins have advantages when
supple silks are required to carry out
the idea in the mind of the designer.
The lovely party frock, shown in
the picture, reveals new interpreta-
ton of the petal dress and looks like
a great blossom. -Four overlapping
panels, scalloped at the bottom, and
faced back with satin, resemble long
petals. The deep facing weights the
panels in a way that insures good lines
in the skirt, which is gathered in,
all around at the waist line. 1t al
most goes without saying that the
bodice is plain and it is worth not
ing that it is not very low and has
a band Of georgettte at the top with

satin straps over the shoulders. Bod
ices are growing higher and short
sleeves gaining favor in every fashion
center, and at this rate we shall ar
rive at the square neck and elbow
sleeve mode before long. There never
was anything prettier or more becom-
ing.
Short draperies at each side lead up
to high loops of satin at the back
of this frock and they are reminders
Of the hustle mode. The moderately
wide girdle is ornamented with love-
ly cluster of roses made of satin rib
bon. and mounted at the left side.
Some dance frocks have no girdles,
their plain quaint bodices are extend
ed little below the waistline, overlap
ping the top of the skirt and are
"crushed," that is slightly wrinkled
about the waist. Garlands of satin
flowers or of vividly-colored satin
fruits, as grapes, little apples, cher
ries, make the prettiest girdles that
ever were to encircle the waist in
place of sash. Where so colorful
and important a decoration as this is
used, the skirts are without drapery
but are very full and have wide hens.

TSHE fashion,reporter, like the Athe-
i mans, is always looking for some
thing new, and the search, in so far
as blouses are concerned, is little
discouraging just now. Designers ap-
near to think without ceasing In terms
Of georgette crepe-any other materl-

blouses merely provide the theme OF
embroidery for discussion; but that

blouses in plain colors, toned up with
Maid and striped ribbons and the time
will soon arrive when the annual pro-
cessions Of lingerie blouses Will pre-

needs of southern tourists.
Meantime embroidered georgette
blouses parade the work OF the needle
woman or Of machinery that under
takes to do the work Of deft myers.
Rlouses and smocks are classed to-
