1t might be remarked in passln1
that if Cuba were a part or the

whatever would be said about the
high price of sugar, any more .han
there is any corresponding poHtical
demonstration against the advance IN
the price of cotton. while bill is
.rcndine in Congress to advance the
price of wheat. Neither Mr.. hoover
or anyone else in the administration
is counselling curtailment OF the use
of bread, or of clothing
1t is perfectly apparent to anyone
who will study the situation that we
ere suffering from curtailed produc-
ticn and abnormal consumption.
This is not peculiar to the Unlteo
states. but there is also more ac-
tive consumption of sugar IN france
Germany, Belgium, Holland ana italy.
Consumption in the United states
last year. according to Willett and
4;ravis figures, was 1918 pounds per
cartita against $685. pounds the pre-
yious year. The gross consumption
in the European countries showed
large increase also. The large wage
distribution is in great measure re-
sponsible with an increased consump-
tion of candy or sweets under PROM
hition.
production for the Americans for
1928 is estimated by the same au-
thoritv at 6.759,575 tons against o.,
392.O93 tons a year ago and o,olo'o9o
for 192O-21 The worlds productlon
is based at 1S.20S,325 tons against
176s6699 tons year ago, ana 10
1921 tons two years ago WINE
there appears to be slow recovery
in production, there has been an
enormous increase in consumption.
The absurdity of the charge that the
rise in prices is due to speculation
is shown by the small stocks OF
sugar on hand. If spectators coulu
possiblv have manipulated prices
they would have done so in large
instead of small scale. The first
week in January shows the total
stock of sugar in the refining ports
of the Atlantic seaboard and IN ~
han shipping ports was only lll'oo9
tons against 946,0S1 tons the year
before 1t seems inconceivable that
so-called spectators can be sent 10
iail for a condition of that k1nd. IL
they are to be sent anywhere IL
should be TO the insane asylum.
The BUYERS strike in sugar IS not
narticularly deep rooted and Will not
last beyond the time when the mouse
wives really need it. There is no
particular spirit of sacrifice in the
air or is there the stern necessity TO
force an actual curtailment OF us

Warrior Regatta
 Was July 4 Feature

Who on earth could remember the Fourth. of July was one of the scorching days of the year, if he happened to be a member of that live bunch that accompanied Com modore Richard Massey on the ''Dream Girl" att the Warrior Yacht club regatta at Camp Oliver?
 That's what happened to about twenty-five of Commodore Mas sey's friends.
 Those who were lucky enough to be invited rose early and got a good start.
 Before the sun got hot, auto mobiles bore the pleasure seekers to Birmingport, where Commodore and Mrs. Massey were waiting for them on the "Dream Girl" looking like little flagship with its flags bearing all manner of emblems, waving cheerily in the breeze, as if they, too, wanted to have part in the welcoming.
 On they filed, some with their

A wreath of the rubber flowers fell from a window in the north last winter, and, although it lay buried under the snow for three weeks, it was recovered as fresh in appearance as though it had just been completed.
 If in the future such rubber flowers supplant the ones we now know, how grand to brag that Bir- mingham women were the fashion CTS of the fad

Union Springs Girls
 National K. ID. Officers

The election of Miss Sarah Blue, president, and Miss Gladys Pugh, chapterian, at the national conven- tion of the Kappa Delta Sorority, whose biennial session came to a close Saturday at Sullins college, Bristol, Va., gives Union Springs the record honor of having two national officers, again on the of ficial board, says the Herald of that city.
 Miss Blue recently completed a four-year service as national chap terian and inspector general, which is a ranking office next to the presidency. Miss Pugh has acted as assistant chapterian during the last year. The election comes as promotion to both officers.
 The elections of the Kappa Delta are held every four years and the officers are chosen for four years. The last convention was held at Cornell university, Ithaca, N. Y.,

the city. The business and profes- sional women's camp is to be held from July 21 to July 31, and even now registrations are being made very rapidly. The fees are small enough to be within the reach of everybody.
 The primary object of this camp is to give business women just the kind of rest they've been longing for. There will be every variety of physical training; scientifically planned meals, supervised by a trained dietician; clean, comfort able sleeping quarters, and plenty of recreational entertainment.

The Things He
 Left to the World

I was going through some old papers and clippings a few days ago and came across the following striking article, fancifully delight ful in it's pathetic beauty. It was written by a lawyer, once promi- nent in his profession, but who, through business troubles, lost his mind, and was an inmate of an in- sane asylum for a number of years. He fell ill one day, and expressed wish to write his will. To humor him, the necessary material was brought and he wrote the follow ing:
 l, ...... ......, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make and publish this, my last will and testament, in order, as justly as may be, to distribute my interests in the world among succeeding men.
 That part of my business which is known in law and recognized in the sheep bound volumes as my property, being inconsiderate and of no account, l make no disposi- ton, of in this, my will.
 "My right to live, being but a life estate, is not at my disposal.

Business Wonlcn Yield
 To Siren Camp Call

This is the season when most business and professional women= in other words, all women who work outside the home-are figur- ing f1'antically on just what it will take in money and in time to iron out the little kinks of disposition, which are the inevitable result of a month and a half of summer. And this little smoothing of dispo- sitions is absolutely necessary to the peace and happiness of the va rious establishments with which the aforementioned women are con- nected. Otherwise, why should employers dispense with their stenographers, secretaries, filing clerks, .salesladies, etc., for a week or ten days, giving them the strict injunction to hie them away to the mountains and the lakes-any- where-just so they bring back with them a brand-new attitude toward work and life in general?
 And just as you have wondered and weighed the matter carefully and counted the little hoard put away as a vacation fund, only to find that facts concerning most va cations are entirely at variance with your dreams concerning them, along comes Camp Winnetaska.
 To be explicit, Winnetaska means ten days blimming full of swim ming and hiking, rest and sound sleeping, wholesome, well-prepared food and pleasant, uplifting com panionship in a beautiful camp far away from the heat and noise of

two years ago, at which time Miss Blue and Miss Pugh and Miss Mar guerite Cope were in attendance. Miss Blue as an officer, Miss Pugh from the University of Alabama and Miss Cope from Woman's col lege at Tallahassee, Fla. The con vention held in Sullins college was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the order, which took place in Virginia in 1898.
 Miss Pugh and Miss Blue are expected home today.

wives and some without, and with one hilarious cheer, weighed an- chor, and spread sails for Lake Oliver, where the regatta was to be held.
 One couldn't begin to tell the yarns spun on that yacht, or the amount of food eaten during the hour and half it took to make the trip, but then-it was the Fourth, so why not?
 And all the while the little yacht sped along, bearing it's passengers to the goal, where everything was set for the races.
 w. G. Oliver, Frank B. Clark, I. T. Quinn of Montgomery, and Beech Chenoweth were official judges. Coach Charles Brown of Birmingham Southern college was the starter.
 Boats ready for the three thrill ing races, the out-board motor, the cabin cruiser, and the run-about, hugged close to the "Dream Girl, ," as the starting point, circled around her in the race, and came up on the other side as their goal.
 Shouts went up from the onlook- CTS as Will Wharton came out ahead in the first, George Connors, Jr., in the second, and Perry Mccormack in the third.
 Cups given by Birmingham jew elers were presented the winners. These cups will remain in the War rior Yacht club rooms, and must be won for three consecutive years before they may be claimed perma- nently.

Birmingham Women
 Make Fine Invention

News has just been received in Birmingham that two of her for mer residents are winning success in strange field,
 They are Mrs. Orpha H. Hurley and her daughter, Miss Maria Hur- ley.
 And their invention is that of rubber flowers.
 Such rubber flowers can be used on hats winter and summer-and are thoroughly indestructible. Flowers they are that do not fade, and. numerous rubber concerns are bidding, it is reported, to buy the process and idea from the orig inators.
 Samples of the flowers have been sent to eastern companies to be torn to pieces and analysed, and it may be that mechanically the de- signs, now made only by hand, can be turned out in wholesale quan- titles by machinery.
 It is set forth that while the flowers are suited for hats and gowns, they are wonderful for bathing suits or for a beach-pa- rader's costume.
 The flowers the Hurleys have invented are not affected by

the cups had been presented, the Dream Girl" headed down the river for another hour, and supper was served on board to make the day complete.
 Automobiles met the tired-out bunch at Birmingport and brought them back home, where, tucked in their own beds, they dreamed of the next Fourth to come.

But these things excepted, all elSe in the world I now proceed to de wise and bequeath.
 Item: I give to good fathers and mothers, in trust for their chil- dfen, all good little words of praise and encouragement, and all quaint pet names and endearments. And I charge said parents to use them justly, but generously, as the needs of their children shall require,
 Item: I leave to children inclu- sively, but only for the term of their childhood, all and every, the flowers of the fields and the blos- sons of the woods, with the right to play among them freely accord ing to the custom of children, warning them, at the same time against thistles and thorns. And l devise to children the banks of the brooks, and the golden sands be- meath the waters thereof and the odors of the willows that dip therein, and the white clouds that float high over the giant trees.
 "And I leave to children the long long days to be merry in, in a thou sand ways; and night and the moon, and the train of the milky way to wonder at, but subject nevertheless to the rights hereinafter given to lovers!
 'Item: I devise to boys jointly, all the useful, idle fields and com mons where ball may be played; all pleasant waters where one may swim; all snow-clad hills where one may coast, and all streams and ponds where one may fish or where, when grim winter comes one may skate-to have and to hold the same for the period of their boyhood.
 "I give also the meadows to them with clover blossoms and butterflies thereof, the woods with their ap purtenances, the squirrels, and the birds and echoes and strange noises and all distant places which may be visited, together with the adven. lures there found.
 "And I give to said boys each hi. own place at the fireside at night with all the pictures that may bt seen in the burning wood, to enjoy without let or hindrance, and with out any encumbrance or care.
 Item: To lovers, I devise thei imaginary world with whateve they may need, as the stars of tn, sky, the red roses by the wall, tn, bloom of the hawthorn, the swee strains of music, and aught els, they may desire to figure to eacl other the lastingness and beauty 0. their love.
 "Item: To young men jointly 1 devise and bequeath all bolster ous, inspiring sports of rivalry, anc I give to them the disdain of weak ness and undaunted confidence ir their own strength. Though they are rude, I leave them the power to make lasting friendships, possess companions, and to them exclu sively I give all merry songs anc brave choruses to sing with lusty voices.
 Item: And to those who are nc longer children, or youths or lovers I leave memory; and 1 bequeath tc them the volumes of the poems ol Burns and Shakespeare and of other poems-if there be others-to tho end that they may live the old day. over again, freely and fully withou title or dininution.

we were told. We have since learned that each year the tourists are given the same information.
 "We visited Riverside and dined at the famous Glenwood Mission Inn, built to give it's guests the spirit and atmosphere of the old Spanish days. In Los Angeles, we were shown a famed ostrich farm. We found the finest birds named for notables-George and Martha Washington, Teddy and Mrs. Roosevelt, MT. and Mrs. Taft. We went through the San Gabriel Mission and saw there the mother of grape vines, the oldest and largest vine in the United States. It covers an immense area and still bears abundantly. We drove through Hollywood and had pointed out to us the handsome homes of many of the movie stars-Charlie Chaplin, Theodore Roberts, Doug las Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and others. We deplored the fact that we had no time to pay them social calls. Many of us were sure that we would be engaged by managers for important roles on account of our personal appearance and his trionic talent, and that we would soon become multi-millionaires. Alas, alas, our hopes vanished into thin air ere we reached Venice the Coney Island of the West.
 eve spent day out on the Pacific with Catalina Island as our objective. There we rode in glass bottom boats. The water below us, to depth of 85 feet, clear as crystal, enabled us to view the won ders of the deep. The fish, schools of them q suppose for the benefit of so many teachers) glided in and out their spongy, sea-weed home, enjoying their submarine life as we enjoy our home on terra firma. A deep sea diver gave us a sample of his prowess in remaining under our boat for lengthy period.
 Many of us attended in the eve ming mission play at San Gabriel, a fine historical Indian pageant, that has been called the American Passion Play. Leaving Los An geles, our next stop was at Paso Robles, where we were met by members of the Chamber of Com merce in handsome touring cars and given a drive through a won derfully fertile section of Califor- mia, where almonds are raised and shipped in immense quantities. Pr-unes, peaches, apricots and wheat are also products of the soil. On our drive, basket of delicious fruit was given to occupants of each car. A special issue of their paper containing a nice notice of the Alexander Party was also fur nished us. The hospitality of Paso Robles was highly appreciated.
 "The outlook from our car, the broad expanse of mountain and valley was ideal. In the winding of the train, we climbed mountains and entered tunnels in quick sue cession. For an unusually steep climb, it was necessary to use more than one engine, and one out of the many tunnels that we entered was mile in length. The morning of the twenty-second saw us near our journeys end. Many rose at 5 o'clock to view the redwood trees giants of the California forests. Our last lap puts us in San Fran cisco-not exhausted from pro- longed travel-but we'll and happy ard rejoicing that we had reached the Golden Gate.
