SUGAR BARREL IS PASSING.
From the Wan Street Journal.

From the WaI Street Journal.
A distinct merchandising trend in
the sugar industry during recent
years has been toward package sales
The day of the open sugar barrel in
the corner grocery is passing. Dis
cussing this subject a prominent re-
finer said: III you place q grain of
sugar in the center Of this table. and
there is only one fly in the room. he
sanitary standpoint the argument is
all In favor Of package sugar.
"But there Is another argument,
equally potent, and that Is economy.
A grocer buys a barrel Of sugar
Weighing $50 pounds. Theoretically,
he should be able to take out Of that
barrel $50 two-pound lots Practi-
cally. he will not, II he is an honest
tradesman. When measuring two
pounds in his scales he will pour
sugar in until the beam tips. He is
only q fraction Of an ounce, more than
true weight. but multiply this by 100
and the result Is a. considerable loss.
ITO this point we have assumed that
there are $40 pounds Of sugar in the
barrel when 1t reaches the grocers
store This was true when the barrel
left the refinery, but the sugar barrel
is yet to be made that will absolutely
prevent sitting of sugar through the
slaves in process Of handling and
rolling. Thus the chances are the
the store. In brief, while package
sugar costs a little more, 1t has been
definitely determined that the profit
in it, to say nothing Of the greater
ease in handling, is larger than in
the case Of bulk sugar"

COFFEE HOUSE AND INN.

The coffee house and the foreign
mail service were both young things
together. When coffee was the new
est beverage and the. London coffee
house tables were the regular rendez-
vous Of those who talked big business
eign mail service to all continents
was just beginning and ships mail
pouches hung In every coffee house Of
any Importance.
Letters for far ports, for Africa and
those lonely single settlements that
were the outposts Of the white man q
century or SO ago were generally not
sent through the national post ONCE,
but carried to the coffee house to
await the sailing Of the first ship.
Matters OF marine insurance were
settled over q cup Of coffee, too, and
talk of crews and cargoes and con-
signments and concessions were heard
at the tables. In brief, big business
began over q cup of coffee.
OF quite another stripe are the ira
ditions of the tavern. All mail coaches
started their trips from the inn. The
mail coach driver was q sort of handy
man for the community, somewhat as
80, probably, because in many sec
tions he was known as a reliable
bootlegger of poached game
Missing the regular mail letters
were sometimes taken at the inns by
the coach drivers. The largest mail
started from the Inn Of the Swan
with Two Necks in Lad lane. Others
started from the Angel, the Spread
Eagle, the Bell and Crown. There
were mail robberies often enough and
they worked out system, . century
ago, of having armed guards on tho
box OF each coach "since robbery was
rife"

living two miles in the country.
window curtains went up IN smoke.

of fact, but on the second day
following a night of fighting TRES
on the roof of the house, in cothes
closets and under beds, the blaZes
were reported to county authorities.
guard Of heavily armed deputy
sheriffs were deployed around the
house and kept there for three days.
No more fires occurred.
During the two days OF fires, ana
since, Waggoncr refused TO move ms
family from the house, in spite or.
recommendations of friends and au-
thorities.
Theories that enemies of the FAM
ily were trying to burn his home
were scoffed at by Waggoner. IF
any member of my family ever had
an enemy, / do not know about it,
he said.
DR.. I. II. Godlove, instructor in
chemistry at the State University
here, declared the fires were not
started by chemicals, as was first
generally believed.
The house, a two-story square
frame building, setting back from
the road. and in a permanent shad-
ow from surroundings and over
throwing trees, for the past half
century has had the reputation
among natives as being haunted"
The building was unoccupied for
many years, prior to the moving in
by the Waggoner family. Wag-
goner's corn field was mysteriously
burned shortly after he moved to the
house. Two years later the family
awoke to find their barn in ruins,
the last flames dying down.

lending the encouragement to the

In connection with the movement

AFRICA FOR AFRICANS.

Another movement of racial SELL
assertion, modest in beginning but
ambitious in ultimate purpose, is
headed by DR.. j. Albert Thorne,
full-blooded negro born in Bar
bados. He calls his movement the
African Colonial Enterprise. He pro-
poses to ''repatriate the. exiles'
whose racial home is Africa, and to
"civilize the natives of that con-
tinent.
It is big job, surely, and one
in which nobody need grudge DR..
Thorne any success he may win.

a similar plan. and seems to have
got no FARTHER than hopeless maze
Of financial clement With less

There is general feeling that
the question should be referred to

offers another reason for going

De VALERA AND LEE

An editorial in the New York
Times. commenting on De Valera's
unhappy persistence in guerrilla
warfare, points him to Robert r.
Lee as a student in real greatness
in defeat. The pity of it is that
while many people other than the
impetuous Irishman will see the
aptness or the illustration, he may
miss it.
the cause which Lee led was
lust rs dear to him as that Of
De Valera is to him. When the
South was finally defeated, Lee had
no lack Of urging to go on with
q bush warfare. killing Off as many
Yankees as might be, and keeping
the Confederate cause green. The
great leader knew such counsel
was mistaken. There was no hope
for the South in further. battle. She
had fought honorably and been
honorably overcome. To continue
fighting by small handfuls was only
to sacrifice in vain cause lives
which might better be spared for
active citizenship.
The South needed healing, restor-
ing. Lee accepted the truth, and
sorrowfnlly but greatly he led his
men, who would have followed him
to the death, back to life. Ireland
needs her Lee.

SUBTLE CORRUPTION
4 1t may be case of professional
ver-emphasis, and yet it is certain
lily worth thinking about.
Take the jazz out of city dance
halls" says Lynn B. Dana, head
of a musical institute, land you've
got the city half cleaned up. Take
out of your home the jazz records
and The popular songs which are
written about themes you wouldn't
discuss with your children, and
you'll have far less reasons to worry
about the children's morals"
CynicsA and superficial folk can
smile at such arguments, but that
doesn't dispose of them When ais
said and done, perhaps the moral
argument against jazz is really
stronger than the esthetic argu-
ment. The two probably hang
together. but ugly music doesn't
fact, as psychologists are beginning
to see, is that there is particu-
lar form Of musical aglincss which
by it's very nature tends to per-
vert moral taste along with musical
taste
The influences of music are far
greater than most persons realize
They work in the mind stibtly but
powerfully, for good or i'll. Physi-
clans have discovered that insanity
often may be cured by music of
the right sort. Inversely, music OF
the wrong sort may drive suscepti-
BILE persons insane.
The moral uplift that comes
from fine church music is univer-
sally recognized. Why, then, not
recognize as clearly that corrupt
music, appealing insidiously to the
baser elements of human nature
may induce moral corruption? An
observant and honest person who
has studied jazz and it's effects
on human beings is likely to adj
nit that it has such an effect. and
agree with the musical authority
quoted.
