SUCARINDUSTRY
AVERTED
BY AGREEMENT

PARIS. Nov. IA ga crisis in the
sugar industry that would affect the
consumer as we'll as the producer
probably has been avoided by an
agreement now virtually completed
between the Cuban and European
sugar industries, in the opinion OF
Col. Jose Tarafa, mead OF the Cuban
sugar defense committee. Col. Tarata
has lust had several long and arduous
sessions with representatives Oh
European sugar interests. 81 st4s
'0The principal European exporters
of sugar." Tarafa told the Associated
Press. "have realized that abnormal
conditions prevailing at present are
likely to cause disaster somewhere IN
the sugar industry anC that it would
be better hot TO play a game OF the
survival of the fittest. Present pro-
duction is so far in excess OF, con-
sumption that refineries somewhere
will have TO shut down if the sltua-
ton continues. So in our own in
terest and in the eventual interest
of the consumer it has been agreed
to take measures to gauge yield 10
demand.
eff many refineries shut down
many growers will cease planting and
then production will become deficient
Prices would soar, but that is not
what the Cuban interests want; they
want only stable conditions that will
enable them to work steadily"
Cuba overdeveloped its sugar in
dustry in order to comply VITA press
ing demands of the allies to produce
all the sugar possible during the
war, Tarafa explained. The result
was that after hostilities ended and
the allies began to supply themselves
elsewhere the Cuban refineries felt
the pinch O. lowered demand.
TN three or four years said
Tarafa, consumption again have
caught up with installations, but If
overproducticn continues then there
will be such crisis that the industry
will be demoralized with a subsequent
reaction that will cost the consumers
a pretty penny"

Business Causes Cafe
To Install New Stove
and Fine Waffle Iron

The management of the Richelieu
cafe, in commenting recently on the
growth of the cafe business here, re-
ported that since the opening of their
establishment few months ago they
have been forced by the rush of busi-
ness to install an entirely new cooking
stove and new waffle iron, the en-
tire outlay representing an expendi-
ture af almost $1,000
The new stove is a very fine looking
arrangement and takes up the space
along one whole wall Of the big
kitchen Of the cafe. The stove is kept
as clean as possible and is brightly
shined wherever its construction will
permit of shining. The new waffle
iron is a very modern and up to date
affair run by electricity and capable,
the chef says, of baking the finest
waffles ever tasted in Douglas.

Prince Gives Banquet
In Zoo For Lord Mayor
OF London On Visit

ROME, Nov. II, P)-The most novel
reception given by Prince Potenziani,
governor of Rome, in honor OF Sir
Rowland Blades, lord mayor of Lon
don, during his sojourn in the Eter-
nal City, was a sumptuous banquet
in the geological gardens.
The $50 guests, including ambassa-
dors, ministers, aristocrats and the
most beautiful women of the Roman
capital, enjoyed their meal despite
the roar of lions, the laughter OF
hyenas, the screams of parrots and
the twitter of thousands of birds.
A cause of general surprise, how
ever, was that among the fruit served
were magnificent bananas, the i'm
portation of which vigorously prohibit
ed for the past year on the ground
that they are the means of introduc-
ing into the country insects which are
harmful to plants.
The director of the gardens ex-
planned that the law ostracizing ba-
nanas from the Italian kingdom
makes an exception in favor of the
zoo because there are animals fed
almost exclusively on bananas.
"When 3 it was decided that the
banquet to the lord mayor OF Lon
don should take place at the ZOO, >
he said, I'VE somewhat reduced the
daily ration of bananas to those
animals and the quantity thus saved
was served in honor of Sir Rowland
Blades"

survey two successive years. Tho
favorable publicity which has come

this recognition is valuable, but
more important Is the assurance
with which property owners may

ing the fire department is ever on
the alert to prevent fire as well as
to fight it.
t'ircmen are assigned in orderly
arrangement, to inspect buildings
and yards in certain sections of the
city, with special attention to the
central district whore the buildings
are more numerous and valuable
and where. also, the possibility for
the accumulation of inflammahle
materials is greatest. They do not
adopt the attitude of prosecutors.
and their intentions are not 70 ham
per the property owner or put him
TO unnecessary expense.
On the contrary, they are looking
a source of annoyance to property
owner by seeing that everything that
might cause fire is removed before
it is too late.
Frequently. In certain seasons of
the year. chimney fires break out
and while they seldom are serious.
they are always disa greeable and
sourc eof annoyance TO property
owner, tenant. and neighbor. Fire
men have frequently found that de-
focts in the construction of Chim-
neys are to blame for the fires. a
on their recommendation. changes
have been made which might not
have been thought OF had not the
expert eye of the boys in blue seen
the source Of the trouble.
No source of rubbish accumula-
ton Is too small to attract the at
tention OF the inspectors. Frequently,
nothing more is needed to start n
bad fire than little piece of paper
or waste cloth and a Pickering
match or smouldering cigar stub.
1t is the business Of the fire pre-
vention bureau to see that these
things do not accumulate. and that
they have accomplished commend
able results Is attestcd by the rec
ognition that has come to this city
from insurance companies. chambers

The dressmakers declare their
business has suffered perceptibly,

chase price is realized on a used

made good bargain indeed. As
a matter OF fact, the dressmakers
assert, most gowns so at one-fifth,

this has raised havoc In the dress

RUTHERFORD ROSE
FROM APPRENTICE
Building Inspector Started Actu-
ally at Bottom Of Ladder

! When Arthur N. Rutherford
donned a pair Of white overalls
more than 90 years ago and began
his apprenticeship for the mason
and plastering trades he could hard
ly have been expected to foresee the
day when his chosen vocation would
call upon him to interpret and ad-
minister intricate statutes and or
| dinances-yet such has been his
, experience.
AS building inspector during the
last fiscal year he administered the
coming act with such skill that not
once has his Interpretation been
overruled by board of adjustment
or the courts. despite the fact that
his rulings on the law have been
subjected to the most thorough
scrutiny possible by keen minded
attorneys who failed to find a flaw.
This showing is made the more
remarkable by the fact that coming
is in its infancy In New Britain and
Inspector rutherford had no pre-
cedents to govern his rulings. Even
the board of adjustments internre-
tations Of its powers has been sue
cessfully questioned in superior court
and that commission processes to be
at sea to know just what 1t may
and may not do.
Such a diversity between the Or
binary requirements OF a trade and
those which attach themselves to the
office OF building inspector is rare.
Yet Rutherford accepts them as a
matter of course. He Is as much at
home as he delves into "subsections
OF sections. exceptions to articles"
Limitations in non-conforming
uses" etc. as the average mechanic
who served an apprenticeship at
about the same time. Is with his
trowels.
It cannot be said that the absence
OF a qualified board of appeals ac-
counts for Eutherford's record. Per-
sons who might be aggrieved by
conditions imposed by coming law
are aware that they may appeal TO
the board OF adjustment to overrule
this inspector. and on that commits
sion find four able attorneys ready
to listen to their claims. Included is
an attorney Of more than 4 quarter
Of a century's experience as a prac-
titioner and nearly as long as q
judge; one Of the city's recognized
leaders as a trial lawyer: a former
corporation COUNSEL: and the head
and legal adviser to the city's larg-
est corporation. Rutherford's inter-
pretations of law must be such that
they will withstand inquiry by this
group, and by three others who are
leaders in the banking and mercan-
tile field.
Last year rutherford issued 1892
permits. The work involved an out
lay of sS,000.000 and scarcely

PARIS
In France the Once Proud Notary Public Are Discussing

! Unmarried fathers and mothers Of
children often fear to reveal the
truth by Il wedding years after the

couples supposed to be married
have no children because they do
not wish them to be illegitimate, and
they shun the publicity OF a long

Under the new order OF things

They want the protection OF the

ton occurs in the distribution of the
