SUGAR TRADE IS
DISCUSSED BY
FORBES
By B. c. FORBES

Sugar people, comprising a ten.
billion-dollar group of industries.
are energetically striving to cure
some of the major evils which
have beset the trade during re.
cent years, and they have dis.
covered that one effective weapon
is large7scale advertising.
How the brains of our sugar
leaders are operating to solve the
industry's problems will interest
other industries as we'll az the
general public.
Sugar is in the limelight at the
moment because of the stir Gre
ated by the proposed increases In
sugar tariff, increases which, II
enacted, would benefit the Philip.
pines and Porto Rico and also do
mestic sugar growers, but would
operate against Cuba and raise
the the cost of this daily neces-
sity to every home in the United
States. The proposed increases
are: From 2.20 to 3 cents
pound on foreign imports and
from 1.75 to 2.40 cents on Cuban
shipments.
Over-PrOductiOn
Like several other basic indus
tries. sugar has suffered from
overcapacity of production (and
refining) as sequel to the war
time stimulation.
When the United States refin-
ers OF cane sugar got together
Is months ago to see what CO.
operation could achieve they
found they had big job on their
hands. But they have since made
definite progress.
From authoritative sources 1t
is learned that the annual sales
volume, at present wholesale
prices, of the United States cane
and beet sugar industries is about
$3.50, ,000, 200. Sales by manufac-
turers of other sweeteners, of
food products of which sugar is
q component. and of foods with
"uICn sugar ID CuSlOINdTi1S uSSuB
bring the figures to 1880, 900 900.
Sales of concerns which supply
materials used to prepare, pack
and label these products add g..
100000.
Industry CO-Operates
This SO, 900, ,O00, 900 group Of in.
dustries organized the Sugar In
stitute, Inc. and a code Of ethics
was drawn up.
Before this the trade was at the
mercy of frequently unfounded m.
mors. The buyer, fearing special
concessions were being offered by
one refiner, demanded equal con-
cessions before placing his order
with another refiner. The seller
was forced to meet the rumored
terms OF a competitor or run the
risk Of losing the business. On his
side, the buyer could never be sure
that even greater concessions were
not being offered his competitors.
The institute, 1t is explained,
without influencing prices or re-
straining competition, has done en-
tirely away with concessions.
Every member and all purchasers
Of sugar are informed of the
prices, terms and conditions on
which sugar is being sold. Facts
have displaced rumor, guesswork
and Misrepresentation.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, october IA
(N.AN.A.) That most casual lady of
romance Greta Carlo, didn't reveal q
touch of surprise when the engagement
of Nils Asther and Vivian Duncan was
made public.
Telling them nothing is Greta CARLOS
long suit. She didn't flicker an eyelash
when Jack Gilbert and Ina Claire up
and married. Matter of fact, she had
lost interest in Jack Gilbert some time
before. This gentle likes to be surprised.
He picked two excellent types for that.
Ina Claire is inpulsive and headStrong.
Greta Carlo once got Jack Gilbert as
far as the Ventura courthouse, only to
say, Il don't feel like getting married
this morning." Back they came to

And 1t was diminuendo ever after.
Irene Bordoni won the golden apple
for the most ravishing lady at a recent
opening. Bordoni in white satin, cut

pearls in her ears, the famous bang, the
fraicheur which is the keynote of her

Miss Mark of Being Well Dressed
By MARY MARSHALL.

Careful arrangement of the hair is
especially important in the evening.
Then 1t must not only be neat and trim,
but it must be becomingly dressed as
we'll.
The sleek couture that looks entirely
satisfactory in day clothes may leave a
woman looking really homely when she
wears a low-cut evening gown. Some
women can, with little pat here, an
invisible hairpin there and possibly
deft touch with the curling iron some
where else, produce just the Softening
effect needed for the evening ensemble.
Others have no such knack, and there is.
of course, a vast difference in hair.
Some heads Of hair, like some people, are
stubborn and unyielding.
This season there are several different
sorts of evening headdreSS that are a
great help to achieving the right effect
after candle light. For restaurant wear
there are small hats of lace or net
usually black-that work wonders. For
dances and the theater there are BAN
deauX and capS-and many Of them are
not at all expensive.
If you make your own lingerie, or If
you make dainty presents to give to
your girl friends at Christmas time, you

A Sermon for Today
Lions.
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUM.

Lions.
Therefore the Lord sent lions among
them."-2 Kings xvii.
Until the Lord sent those lions. these
people feared not the Lord" But when
those lions got among them and began
Staying some of them, what did they
do? They sent for the priest.
There are many people today like
these ancients. AS long as things are
going we'll with them and there are no
lions about they fear not the Lord.
Seldom, if ever, do they give Him a
thought. But watch them when the
lions get after them. Then you see
them send a hurry-up call for the
preacher. 1t may have been years since
they had anything to do with a preach
er. But they want one now.
There are many people who think
of God when they are Ill and forget
Him when they are well. They pray
when they get into trouble and forget
to pray when they are prosperous. It
takes storm to make some people
pray.
Watch out for the storm. There may
not be a cloud on the horizon now:
But storms come! And watch out for
the lions. There may not be one in
sight. But they are back there in the
woods. They are bound to come out
With everything going smoothly and no
troubles on hand, you may not care
about religion, you may not want a
priest, you may forget God. But the
situation will change-when the lions
get after you.

squabbling over preferred rooms as to
size, location and convenienceS.
The Government provides free Office
space for members of Congress. Each
group has its own Office building on OPP
posite sides of the Capitol. Senators,
however, are allowed more rooms than
Representatives.
The House of Representatives has
grown'so large that it has become neces-
Sary to erect another building to house
members of11ceS and Stenographic forces.
Workmen are now busy across the street
tearing down landmarks TO make way
for the new structure.
It is to cost $1,000, 900, and besides
furnishing 266 additional suites of Of
f1ceS, will feature gymnasium, SWIM
ming pool, lockers and storage space.
The two Office buildings are con-
nected with the Capitol proper by I'M
derground tunnels, Senatorial dignity
and shoe leather are preserved by an
electric monorail system, which gives
the rider much the same sensation as a
dip on a roller coaster.
No such convenience for the Rep
resentatives. Rapid growth Of mem
bership caused abandonment of plans
to install such system in their tun-
mel. There are almost five times as
many Representatives as Senators.
IL is the prediction OF Majority Leader
Tilson that this new House Once
Building will materially increase the
efficiency Of Representatives.
There is not a $4,000 corporation
in the country that would attempt to
carry on a small business with such
office facilities for its managing direc-
tor or president as prevail in the House
Of Representatives" he said recently.
Each member now has only one room.
With him are at least two clerks, with
typewriters. Many have as many as
Conferences with constituents must
be held in. the presence of the clerks,
with the typewriters going, or out in
the corridor. There is no privacy at
all, and the complaint frequently has
been heard that there Is no place where
q man can do constructive work.
But what the Representatives desire
most Of all is to have some way in
which they may shield themselves
against those whom they have no par
ticular desire to see The office seeker,
for instance-the bane Of every Con-
greSSman's existence.
Now he can open the door and come
In upon the Representative face to

And whether he is busy or not, the

The tremendousness of her salary has

That feminine feeling in clothes

Forehead Wrinkles.

There was a time when milady paid
very little attention to the appearance
of her forehead, for that part of her
face was so thoroughly covered that 1t
made little difference. But that is all
past now and the forehead has come
right out into the open. The new styles
of hair-dressing are practically all on
the face and Autumn hats encourage
this vogue further by being designed
with no brims.
Many a woman who has been care
full about her chinline, who has re-
ligiously used tissue creams and mas
sage to prevent tiny wrinkles about her
eyes and nose, has perhaps paid little
attention to her forehead, with the re-
suit that today this feature makes her
appear much older than the rest of her
face might indicate. For 1t is quite true
that smooth, unlined forehead imparts
a very useful look to ones face, while
one which is lined and wrinkled has
decidedly the opposite effect.
So, now that foreheads can no longer
be hid, they demand some special atten-
ton. A thorough forehead massage
once week will do much toward max
ing this feature more attractive. To do
this, first tie strip of cloth around the
hairline to prevent the possibility OF
getting the hair greasy. The next step,
as IN any 1aclal, Is 10 remove ali olEb

Remove with soft cloth or tissue squares.
Then with the index fingers, begin be-

outward, gently but firmly, to the hair
line. Continue this for three or four
minutes, always beginning between the
eyes and then working upward and out
ward, massaging the upper forehead and
also over the eyebrows. This movement
will help remove the frown lines which
are so likely to leave their imprint be-
tween the eyes.
Next use all the fingers and again.

October IA, 1857.-Although WASH
ington is less affected than any other
community so far South by the present
financial CONFUSION that is shaking
the banks and business houses of the
country, the financial crisis was practi-
cally the only topic of conversation in
this city today. News continues to
come in by telegraph of more bank
and business failures in New York and
other cities of the North and West.

Thoughts far as we can learn-all

elsewhere" says The Evening Star to-
day, land as yet fail to comprehend
it, because they are so fortunate as
not to depend for their means Of pay
ment on what may be properly termed
general commerce"
It is pointed out that Washington's
trade subsists upon three sources of
payment only They are:
/. Disbursements from the Treasury
Of the United States.
Q. Payments made by agriculturists
cultivating the soil in the immediate
vicinity.
3. Payments by strangers visiting the
Federal metropolis.
The last only can be affected by the
conditions of the times and that only
to a limited degree.

At a meeting of the presidents and
cashiers of the note-issuing banks of
the District of Columbia, few days
ago, a committee of one from each
bank was instructed to prepare plan
of joint, concurrent action in their
future transactions with the community.
That committee has recommended to
the several boards of directors clear
ing house plan of operations-similar
to that already adopted in Baltimore
and Philadelphia and unanimously
adopted yesterday by the banks Of New
York City-accompanied by recon-
mendation for reasonable increase of
discounts.
It is understood that, with the ex-
ception of the Bank of the Metropolis,
the boards of all the Washington banks
have agreed to carry out the commit
tees recommendations. The Bank of

Sea Legs.
Last Summer I took a little trip on

that the trouble was I didn't have my
sea legs on.

but guess that with my MILDLY blouse
I looked more than l acted like a
sailor.
Old terra firma gets us into the habit
of thinking that everything will re-
main the same and stay put, no mat
ter what happens. If we had to walk
around on earthquakes, 1t would be
different. But the sailor man has to
be prepared for changes in the weather
and be all set for every little lurch his
ship may make.
1t seems to me that the girls of this
age, now free from the bondage Of
skirts, ought to begin cultivating some
sort of sea legs. For we have to move
about in a world which isn't as steady
as it was when our mothers used to
stroll around in kind of settled order.
The world moves now, If it never did
before.

morning and sets sail for business in

when it comes to navigating in this
new order The men are mostly sailors,
old salts, who know how to keep their
balance; they have their sea legs on.
But we have still to get onto the new
gait demanded by our new life.
Time was when a girl stuck around
the home waiting for some man to APP
pear in the of1ng and carry her to an
other home. She was like a sailor ma
rooned on an island waiting for some
friendly ship to heave in sight and res
cue her. But she's in different posi-
ton now. She has her Job and may
have her own little home, so that man
is not such an essential.
But, If a girls is going to make the
voyage and cast anchor in port, she's
got to get pair of those pesky sea
legs. That is, she must adapt herself
to the order of life in which she now
finds herself and not get dizzy.
When a girl Tolls around the way

giles along forgetting that she's out at
sea in a breezy world, she'll have
trouble.
It's natural for a woman to adapt
herself to circumstances and, goodness
knows she's done lot of adapting in
the last 10000 years. She can adjust
herself to the brisk and rolling order Of

Details of one of those embarrassing
moments for the White House secret
service have just come to light.
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge referred to it in
a recent magazine article, but she didn't
tell the whole story.
The former First Lady was one of Is
college women, members of the same
social organization at school, who have
kept a round-robin letter in circulation
since the Summer of 1915. It had made
the rounds from coast to coast every
three months and was never missing
until August, 1925.
Mrs. Coolidge had returned to the
White House after short trip. She re-
membered that her letter was due and
asked her secretary for 1t. but Miss
Mary Randolph had not seen it. Every
nook and corner of the mansion was
explored, but no trace of the large brown
envelope could be found
AS a last resort the secret service
was questioned.
Not little embarrassed, members of
the service dug the letter out of their
files. It was listed among the seem
ingly silly letters"-in broader sense
known as "the nut Ale"
