however, that stocks OF sugar I'm
this country are abnormally low.
Imports TO date average 100000
tons under the volume OF year
ago. Usually Mt this time of the
year the bulk OF tho sugar crop
is In this country and not In
Cuba. The low domestic invisible
supply Will inevitably cause mark
cd inroads in the Cuban stocks
during the next month or two.
Moreover. tho financial setback
to the sugar producer Is not with
out effect. The present price of
sugar Is close to, If not below. the
cost of replacement. It Is not sur
prising, therefore, that the trend
of production is downward.
The 192f-22 Cuban crop promis-
es only 100000 tons---a decline OF
20 per cent from last year. The
world output aggregates barely
1b.b00,000 tons, aq comparcd with
1S.500,000 tons before the war a
decrease OF 10 per cent. An even
greater curtailment is entirely
probable. Keeping in mind under
lying conditions, and present
stocks the prospective new crop
should not prove burdensome or

THREE EYES SAVED
AT HARLAN'S SH|PYA RID
Result of Extraordinary Precau
tion Taken There During the
Year 1920.

Three eyes saved is the reward, and re-
suit of Safety First practices at the Harlan
plant of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Cor
poration, Ltd, during the year 1920.
In 1919 five workmen lost their eyes,
while in the year just brought to a close
only two were unfortunate in this re-
spect. Ten shattered goggles, lenses in
the Safety Department are eloquent testi-
monials of what would have happened if
the campaign, and implements of accident
prevention, were not considered important
by General Manager Germain The two
lost eye cases" in 1920 occurred in crafts
engaged in work not commonly supposed
to be of nature that requires the use of
goggles. However. goggles are furnished
free by the management TO any workman
who asks for them
The 1920 unfortunates we're men IN the
bolting and sheet metal departments A
drift pin caused the accident TO the bolter
while "backfire" from n shearing opera
tion with piece of sheet metal accounted
for the other casualty. The shattered
goggles mentioned above were so manpled
from the flying bits, as TO leave little
doubt "a To what would have happened
if the man behind the goggles, couldn't I
have been bothered with the windows
The eye saving campaign is, of course,
only ono angle Of accident prevention
practice at Harlan, and, in fact, at all five
yards of the Bethlehem Shipbuilding
Corporation Ltd, Guards for moving ma
chinery, for emery wheels, around OPEN
ings, and the removal of other accident in
viting conditions, are all considered hu-
namely necessary and definite party Of

legislation. Senator'S Palmer and Short
favored the suggestion, and next Monday
