THE SUGAR SHORTAGE

THE SUGAR SHORTAGE

Top-notch sugar economists
are predicting that the half
pound a week ration due 10 be
inaugurated soon will shortly be
increased.
To back up their claims, they

ration was based on Hender-
sons estimate of a $500, 000-ton
sugar supply for home use. They
now expect at least 100000
tons. even after allowing 1,500,-
900 tons for lease-lend.
They even say that 100000
tons in 1913 is quite possible
and, compared with a normal
home requirement of 6,500000
tons, the picture looks almost
rosy.
NOT SO BRIGHT is the cof-
fee outlook.
Receipts from our chief source

January, only 817,400 bags in

ELECTION OF Joseph NJ.
Dodge. president of the Detroit
Bank. to the Packard board, re-
calls a swell story.
Ii seems that some of Mr..
Dodge's bank employees had been
kidding a young fellow in the
small loan department via the
telephone. One morning the
phone rang and the voice on the
other end said:
"This Is Mr.. Dodge. I would
like to have the latest figures
on loans"
Sure that this was contin-
uation of the hazing, the young
fellow replied:
"Why. certainly, Joe, old boy!
You certainly came to the right
man. I'm just the boy that can
give you service. Any time you
are stuck, just call on me, Joey,
old kid"
The voice came back evenly
almost too serenely:
"This Is Mr.. Dodge"
"YOu can't kid me-" was the
answer. $50 long, now"
And then came the dawn and
quaking knees as the young fell
low gradually realized that it
really was the big boss. There
were rapid apologies and, be-
cause the boss is a gentleman
with a grand sense of humor,
no punishment.
But the ribbing via the tele-
phone is definitely a thing of
the past.

FIREFIGHTER NEEDS

While the state administrative

With the possibility of state aid
for Pontiac'S defense definitely re-
moved, the city today turned to
accommodating it own defense fund.
The fund began with an esti-
contribution of $25. 900 from
the IA locals of the Go here and
an expected like amount from
members of the Pontiac Manufac-
turers Association employing the
union workers.
Pontiac CIO council. central
body of the Ia locals, voted week
ago TO donate the one hours pay
of every member of the unions
working in local factories, if the
arrangements would match the
gift, in order to get Pontiac's civil
ian defense fund started.
City commission unanimously
approved the offer at its Tuesday
night meeting after the defense
council had unanimously endorsed
the move.
Ray K. Taylor, executive secre-
tary of the Manufacturers Asso-
citation. today awaited official word
from the Go council on its offer
before calling a meeting of factory
heads for their action on the pro-
posed matching of the workers

On the
Business
front
BY WARD SCHULTZ
Detroit Times Financial Editor

HE HAD TO RE S l G n
TWICE!
The recent resignation of NJ.
NJ. Gilman as president and di-
rector of the Packard Motor
Car Company had some rather
humorous complications.
1t seems that the proxies for
the election of the board of di-
rectors were already in the mail
when Mr.. Gilman rendered the
resignation. asking to be re-
lieved of his duties because of
injuries resulting from an auto
accident. His resignation was
accepted.
However, when the proxies
were returned by the Stockhold-
ers, Packard officials discovered
10 their diSmay that Mr.. Gilman
had been reelected 10 the board.
Only solution aS1o have him
resign all over again.
He did.

Fray.Braggiotti Duo
COMING Here Soon

Fray and Bragglotti, duo-piano
artists who have been delighting
audiences all over the country the
past few years, are scheduled to ap-
pear at Continental Hall on Janu-
ary II, under the management Of
Shows Concert Bureau.
There is hardly another two-piano
team like them for modern inter-
probation of the classics; perhaps
only Alec Templeton approaches
them in mimicry and humorous
tidbits. Their programs range from
Bach fugue to Yankee Doodle" in
the manner of the classicists, ar
ranged by Mario Braggiotti himself.
Eleven years ago Jacques Fray
and Mario Braggiotti were students
at the French Conservatory in
Paris. They met, joined forces, and
decided that no choral, orchestral
of operatic work was too intricate
for 20 fingers to execute. 1t was
then that they began to build their
repertoire from manuscripts of their
own transcriptions. Now they select
their programs from an entirely
original two-piano library Of their
own.
Fray and Braggiotti bring to the
concert stage technical brilliance,
perfect synchronization, unique ver-
satility and humor. Their audiences
pass from deep emotion to hilarious
laughter, and clamor for more at
the end of the concert.

works by Peggy Bacon and Heinz
Warneke. the distinguished artists
who are on the faculty of the Cor

ises to be major event Miss Bacon,
etcher, painter and illustrator, is
noted for her audacious and incisive
caricatures and graphic comments
on famous people and contemporary
life. Mr.. Warneke, sculptor is rep
resented in museum collections. and
has also executed work on many
public buildings, including the De-
partments of the Interior and Post
Office here. At this writing, no an
nouncement has been made of what
he is to contribute to the joint show
Miss Bacon is to have 80 etchings,

Prospective exhibition, which has
just closed in New York City. 1t was
shown at Associated American Ar
lists Galleries, and included l67
works, ranging over the quarter CEN
tury 1917 to 1912. It's title, "Pins
and Needles is appropriate in both
its meanings.
Her sharp points, both of imple-
ments and ideals, must have gotten
we'll under the skin of many of her
caricatured Victims" unless they
were the fortunate possessors of
rhinoceros hides. This was particu-
larly true in the case of the subjects
she handled without mercy in her
book of caricatures, "Of With Their
Heads" Many Washingtonians will
doubtless remember the exhibition
of original drawings for this work
which was held here in 1885, at the
old Art League on Twenty-fi first
street.
In Miss Bacon's section Of the
double exhibition at the Corcoran
one will find wit and humor, satire,
irony and subtle observation of
American life and manners. One
also will find substantial esthetic
qualities. such as an expressive line,
skillful composition, velvety-rich
surfaces and varied tones.
