TAGUS RIVER FLOODS
SPAIN AND PORTUGAL
Stream Passes Through One of
Most Desolate Regions
Of Europe.

While America has had disastrous
overiows in the Potomac and Cum
berland Rivers, Spain and Portugal
have been suffering a similar fate at
the hands of the Tagus. their largest
stream. A bulletin from the head
quarters of the National Geographic
Society here tells something of this
river. which is the joint possession
OF the kingdom and the republic.
THE Tagus Is one Of the rivers of
the world that is not blessed with
smiling, productive banks through
out most OF its course" says the bull

thinly peopled parts of Europe, the
bare, arid plateau Of central Spain.
For scores of miles, the Tagus flows
through this semi-desert land Of
Spain like some American stream in
Utah or Arizona, with not even a
hamlet on it's banks or an isolated
railway bridge to bring to it at in
tervals a touch of the modern world.
Through much of it's course, there

along its banks-merely a few stunt

For a very considerable part of
its course the Tagus flows in q mar

the drab upland plains, with nothing
to indicate its situation until one
reaches its precipitous banks. There
are two exceptions, however. At

oases that furnish practically the
only points vulnerable to floods along
the Spanish Tagus.
Toledo is the only town of marked
prominence in Spanish history. along
the Tagus. Here, at one time, was
a city of several hundred thousand
inhabitants, when Toledo was the
capital of .Visigoth Spain. The Tagus
was the huge and impossible moat

Refined sugar is at pre-war prices, -
said Earl D. Babst, president of the
American Sugar Refining Company.
There can be no sustained rise in
sugar prices, because producers
throughout the world are faced with
the increasingly difficult problem Of
excess which is expected" declares
a representative Of the Federal Su-
gar Refining Company.
I'm our opinion" states a repre-
sentative Of Schnull & Co., local
wholesalers, 1t would be a mistake
for the housewife to hoard sugar, as
there is not even a remote possibility
Of there being a shortage"
The sugar market at best is a
very uncertain quantity and espe-
cially at the present time, when
there are many forces in conflict
with each other" said eRoland B.
Rust of the Indianapolis Fancy Gro
Gerry Company.
We have no way of telling def1n-
itely whether prices will increase or
decrease. Without the item of spec
ulation the canning season usually
raises prices, although this is not an
iron-clad rule" continued Rust
We would hardly advise the con-
sumer to lay in quantity Of sugar.
We see no reason to believe that

MONTREAL, Quebec. June 20
The dominion wide postal strike
seems to have met greatest success
in the provinces of Ontario and
Quebec, the two largest cities in the
dominion-Toronto and Montreal
being hardest hit. Reports from the
western and naratime provinces to
day indicate the men are remaining
at their posts
The strikers have asked a gov
eminent board to investigate their
demands for higher wages. This re
quest may be met with refusal. as it
is not customary to appoint boards
after the workers have gone on
strike.
