RAILROADS. FOLLOW THE
FREIGHT

What the increase of the domestic
sugar industry means to the rail-
roads is shown in the condition in
Florida where recently the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Florida East
Coast Railway have built lines into
the Everglades, and extended their
tracks around the south shore of
Lake Okeechobee to meet at the Mi
ami Canal. 1t is due to the develop
ment of the Florida Sugar Bowl"
The black, muck lands, built up
through many centuries of overflow
and deposit of silt and the decay of
vegetable matter, has made this sec
tion of Florida ideal for the growing
of sugarcane. The world has long
known of the richness of the River
Nile, whose illuvial deposits have
been created in the same way. 1t is
natural that the railroads should
follow the developments of the
Southern Sugar Company in Florida,
as its broad acres devoted to sugar.
cane produce lots of freight-and in
this day Of keen competition the rail-
roads are following the freight.

THE NEW EMPIRE OF SUGAR

An industry that is achieving sue
cess in the face of many adverse
conditions is represented in domes-
tic sugar production. The story of
the development of that industry in
Florida has been pictured in fea-
ture number of Facts About SUI
gar" which is regarded as the out
standing sugar publication of the
United States. 1t describes Florida
as the 1.-The New Empire of Sugar"
The issue of the magazine tells the
fascinating story of what is going
en- in the Everglades drainage dis
trict in which it says that to cate
the control canals and arterial can
ais from Lake Okeechobee to the
sea aggregate 440 miles. Millions Of
dollars are to be expended in the
interests of navigation and drain
age, according to the publication.
'The cane harvest is on in Southern
Florida" says Facts About Sugar,
which opens its remarkable story of
development of sugars New En-
pire" with the following graphic in
PRODUCTION:
Smoke rises skyward from the
stock of the big Clewiston mill, sign
and symbol of the activity below.
Along the shore of Lake Okeechobee
lines of loaded cars and trains of
carts drawn by smooth running
tractors roll toward the plant,
bearing grist for its great eighteen
roll granding tandem.
"On different units of this 100000
acre sugar estate there are $4,000
acres of cane in various stages of
growth. Fleets of tractors, hauling
discs and furrowing plows and other
cultural equipment, are moving IN
military formation across other
sections, preparing them for plant
ing at the rate of a hundred acres
a day Each unit is drained, enclos-
ed by dikes, and guarded by pump
ing plants that insure perfect COIL
troll of the water supply. Millions OF
capital, backed by technical skill
and modern equipment, have thus
transformed the dreary wastes OF
the Everglades into fruitful bearing,
the seat of a great industry, a new
empire of sugar"
The article states that the South
ern Sugar Company controls 10000
acres of Everglades lands, of which
over 10000 acres are in active use,
there being $4,000 acres of growing
cane, including plant cane and
stubble. Florida, a newcomer into
the sugar situation is carrying on
it's operations with modern mach1n-
cry backed by scientific methods
which Facts About Sugar says is a
truly Imperial enterprise, concelv-
ed and carried forward on Il scale
never before attempted in connec-
ton with the development of a new
undertaking of this nature in new
territory. The realization of its OBJ
iectives will make Florida sub
stantial contributor to the sugar |
supply of the American people and
an important factor in a great
worldwide industry"

SHALL II BE "PARENTS DAYp

The confectioners of the country,
who invest many million dollars
every year in special gift assort-
ments, special packages and special
advertising for the different holl-
days, are trying to ascertain the
strength of the movement to con-
solidate Mothers Day and Fathers
Day in a single anniversary, to be
called Parents Day." A. M. Kelly,
President of the National Confec-
toners Association, has written to
newspapers all over the country
asking them to submit the question
to their readers.
Mothers Day will be observed this
year on Sunday, May IL, md Faith
er's Day on Sunday, June 15. MO
theirs Day was first on the calendar
with an honorable history dating
back to the ancient English custom
of visiting ones mother on a mid
Lenten Sunday. This day was known
as "Mothering Sunday" The custom
reappeared in American along about
1908 when a special Sunday in May
was set aside as an anniversary to
honor the mothers of the country
with gifts of flowers and candy and
other tokens of affection.
Several years ago murmurs were
heard to the effect that father also
deserved recognition and a special
anniversary of his own. The result
was the establishment of Fathers
Day and the custom of sending APP
prOpriate gifts to Dad on that occa-
sion.
The proponents of joint celebra-
ton point out that both parents are
essential to a happy home and that
they should not be divorced by sep
arate days of honor The opponents
insist that each is important enough
to have his or her own anniversary
Mr.. Kelly says that the confection-
ers have not taken sides on TINS
question because "Father and MO-
tber both like candy and we know
that box of sweets addressed 10
either or both is pretty certain to ne
shared" Nevertheless the industry IS
trying to get line on popular SEN
timent for it's guidance next year.

The Capital Class"

Propagandists and hypocrites
seeking objects which they are not
willing to avow make a practice Oh
pointing busily at something else
something in another direction.
So the little communists, seeking
nublicity and confusion, do not shout
out the real aims of their creed
the overthrow of the government;
abolition of religion; cOniscation OF
private property; suppression OF pa
triotic organizations and the like.
They shout against the capitalist
class" when there is no such class IN
this country. They include in that
"class" anybody who has worked
economical and accumulated a COM
petence. That "class" is filled with
men who were once as poor as the
poorest communist-and many
Young communist now shouting
twaddle for the excitement of it will
settle down to working, thinking
and saving and eventually find him
self in that capitalist class" 1t IS
not a class when it is open to every
man of every color, age, size and
belief. .s
Instead of shouting capitalism"
and unemployment" - camOuaage
words-let them honestly shout
what communism stands for
Down with Boy Scouts; down with
labor unions; down with socialism;
down with the home; down with
morality"-and then they would get
so ashamed that they would begin
to kick themselves off the street.

USE THE SCALES
By Lewellyn T. Barker, NJ. d.
Baltimore, Md.

Baltimore, Mu.
In reducing ones weight when one
is too heavy it is necessary neither
to starve ones self nor to be mis-
cradle. Everyone should eat the
amount of food and the kinds OF
food that are suited to him in order
to remain we'll and to enjoy lie
abundantly. Each of us needs Ger
tain amount of tissue building
foods, and of energy producing foods
every day, and each of us should
care enough about having good
health to find out the amount and
the variety that he requires.
The maintenance diet of the aver
age person corresponds in calories
to about Is or 20 times his calcuIat-
ed normal weight. If he should
weigh, normal, 14O pounds, diet
containing from 1000 to 300 calories
will be right for him. But If ne
weighs 20 to 40 pounds too much, ne
will have to cut down the ealorlc
value of his diet to nearer 1900 cal
cries in order steadily to lose
weight.
In my experience, however, the
majority of obese people, though
they may desire to lose weight, VIII
not bother to learn about catorles
or to weigh their food This is a
handicap in several ways. But IL
they will not weigh their food, they
should at least weigh themselves
once each week and keep a record OF
the weight as it gradually decreases
A great trouble is that many VINO
are fat seek some short cut to re-
duction. They take advertised medl-
cines, eat advertised foods, or beg
their doctors to give them tablets or
hypodermic injections that will take
the weight off rapidly. Advertised fat
reducers are usually fakes; some OF
them are harmless; some are dang
erous. Doctors who do conscientious
work rely chiefly on diet and exer-
else for the reduction of weight; 1t
is only in certain pathological cases
that endocrine treatment is requir-
ed.
When a person is we'll except for
his obesity he can reduce his weight
a pound or two week by diet alone,
and without harm. if one who is too
stout will be satisfied with a glass
of orange juice. one slice of toast,
and a cup of coffee OF tea without
sugar but sweetened with saccharine
if desired) for his breakfast; if he
will eat at his principal meal thin
soup, one moderate helping of meat,
chicken or fish, one potato and a
large helping of some fresh non
starchy vegetables Cike string
beans, carrots, spinach, cabbage,
cold slaw, tomatoes, lettuce or
beets), ending up with little stew
ed fruit; and if he will take for his
third meal an egg or two, slice of
bread or toast with one pat of but
ter, glass of milk or buttermilk,
and little cottage cheese or curds
with a couple of saltine crackers, be
will lose weight.
If he does not lose weight on such
a diet, he should be examined care
fully by his family physician for
that require a still more
rigid diet or that indicate 'he need
of endocrine treatment. In every
case of obesity, even if one is ap-
parently healthy otherwise, one can
not do better than to have his fam
lily doctor supervise the reducing
process.
