PRICE Of SUGAR
TAKES NEW
JUMP
Boycott by Housewives Seen
!: as Only Way to Foil
Profiteers.
Internatlonal Sew strvloe.

NEW YORK, April 25.--Confirnl-
ing the sentiment in brokerage
circles that sugar prices will reach
"a point unequalled since war time
speculation, the price of Cuban raw
sugar today advanced B to 6ss, a
new high for the year -
The price advance in refined yes
terday by the Warner Sugar Com
pany was followed today by the
National Sugar Refining Company
and the Revere Sugar Refining
Company, who announced an i'm
crease from 9.S5 to 1925 cents a
pound for refined. This will, mean
that consumers will be asked to pay
ii cents and more a pound, which
it was estimated. will mean a goug.
ing of 100000, 900 a year from con-
sumers.
The only check to the advance,
in the opinion of sugar experts, Is
for a boycott on the part of the
housewives.

Refuse Demands Made
By Seamen's Union

While no official statement was
forthcoming from the Shipping

Approximately $1,000 men. indi-
rectly employed by the Shipping
Board, are expected to be involved
in the strike
With other marine transportation
companies, the Shipping Board has
operated on an t..epen shop" basis
since the strike in 1891. but neither
the Government nor the American
Steamship Owners Association has
an agreement with the international
Seamen's Union Of the Industrial

operated under ALLEGATION to private
concerns, controls the labor policies

One Of the most successful meth.
DDS has been the donation" of a

The plan forms a living memo

Bowling, director of the nursing
staff. What is better than a living

visiting nurse, going in the name of
some dear one. a mother. wife or
child, on her mission to relieve suf-
fering?
Five donated nurses are now on
the staff OF the society. Bringing
full measure OF human sympathy,
the ministering Of trained hands,
timely aid, kind assurance-this is
a memorial, it may be, more pre-.
