WASHINGTON, April 19.-An an
nouncement setting forth some of
the results OF the Department of
Justice investigation into sugar
prices is being prepared at the de-
partment as a result of series Of
conferences between President
Harding and various members OF
his cabinet.
1t was indicated today that the
statement would reveal only par
TALLY, however, the evidence gather
ed by the department agents In New
York and elsewhere, but would serve
to advise the country what steps had
been taken to follow up widely cir
culated charges of a conspiracy TO
control prices.
President Harding. who directed
that the inquiry be made, was said
to have taken the position that the
time had come TO let the country
know how far the administration
had gone toward ascertaining the
real truth regarding the present high
price level. The President also has
asked for a report from the tariff
commission as to the part the new
tariff may have played in the re-
cent market changes, but the COM
mission still was at work TODAY
pairing It's findings on the subject.
1t was indicated 1t might be able
to forward the report to the White
House before the day was over.

THE morality Of women has IN
doubtedly sunk ip the last ten years
far below its previous level.
There are two things to consider
which are fundamental to the whole
problem:
l. 1.-THE innate selfshness Of the in
dividual.
2. THE standard or morals of the
individual.
If both parties to a. marriage are
altruistic, but not servile and are of
high moral standard, they will not
see the divorce court.
Another thing is, too much money
