L.evitz's Fine Dash
Brings Victory to
De Witt Clinton

The football team representing the
De Witt Clinton High School triumphed
over the eleven from New Utrecht
High School, Brooklyn, by score of
to in brilliantly ought contest
at the City College Stadium yesterday
morning. The upper West Side BOYS
have yet to meet defeat this season.
With but eight minutes to play in
the final quarter, Coach Bill Cook of
Clinton sent LEVITT in to sub for
Waterbury at left half LEVITT had
been on the hospital list, but he soon
vindicated his coach's judgment in
series of line plunges that almost de-
moralized New Utrecht With but two
minutes of play left. and after Clinton
had lost the ball, New Utrecht at
tempted a forward pass which LEVITT
intercepted and with perfect interfer-
ence ran fifty yards for a touchdown.
l. was the most spectacular bit Of foot
ball playing seen in scholastic con-
tests in many a day. Payne then
kicked his sixth consecutive goal of
the season.
If little Frank Eisenberg, the fifteen
year-old Clinton quarter had used bet
ter judgment in calling the plays the
score might have been larger. In the
Arst period particularly the Fifty ninth
Street boys had the ball on New
Utrecht's fifteen yard line twice, only
to lose it on downs.
Levitz's brilliant playing was the
feature, but the wonderful
defensive play of Writ and Meyers
for the losing eleven and the line
plunging and ali around work of Fried
lander, the powerful Clinton fullback,
also deserve mention. Time and again
Friedlander would plunge through the
heavy New Utrecht line for substan
tal gains.

CANNING SUGAR
BILL CAN BE CUT

Members of the staff of the division
of home economics at University Farm
are already receiving many inquiries
concerning the canning and preserv-
ing of fruit with lessened amounts
of sugar. Mounting prices of sugar
are causing much anxiety and the can
ming season will only add to the diff
ficulties.
'It is possible" says Mildred Weig-
ley, chief of the division, "to can
fruit, and have it keep, without any
sugar. This method does not, how
ever, produce the best flavor or con-
sistency in the fruit. Excellent cam.
ed and preserved products may be
made with a much smaller amount
than is commonly used, adding corn
or malt sirups in it's place" Miss
Weigley says the following pronor-
tions for sirups for canning and pre-
serving have been tried and found
good:
Thick:-1 cup sirup (white,) " cup
sugar, 1a cups cold water. Medium:
Il cup sugar, " cup sirup white, J.
3-4 cup water. Thin " cup sugar, 1
cup sirup (white,) cups water. One
cup of honey may be used in place of
one cup of sugar.

An Excess Profit Joker.

Martin Green's analysis of the fin
ances of the Standard Oil company
of New York, which manufacturers
gasoline, affords striking illustra-
ton of the operation of the excess
profits tax. Before the war, gaso-
line sold at II cents gallon. The
price today is "a cents. In the last
seven years the company has paid in
dividends, cash and stock, and car
ried to surplus $200,577, 900, the capi-
tai being $75,000,O00.
Previous to our entrance into the
war the company's best year under
normal taxation was 1916, when it
earned $48.85 share upon its stock.
In 1919, when the excess profits taxa
tion was in full force and amply pro-
vided for by the management, there
were earnings of $57.52 share after
all governmental dues had been met.
As the greater part of the advance
in the price of gasoline has been re-
corded since the war taxes were laid,
the net profits of the business have
shown steady increase, condition
which Wall Street emphasizes with
quotations of S404 for the company's
stock, selling in 1915 for S178.
These figures are valuable as show
ing that, however necessary it may be
in wartime to impose unusual taxes,
business soon adjusts itself to the
payments and presently shifts the
burden to the consumer. In many
cases every dollar of excess profits
taxation is added to the price. On
some lines handled by several agen-
cies on their way to market the tax is
collected over and over again, which
accounts in large measure for the out
rageous prices now paid upon commo-
dities. Prices go up and so do profits,
and taxation of this kind accounts for
them both.--New York World.
