Western Market Still Open;
Runlors Cause No Worry

Whether or not a Federal dormi-
tory eventually will be erected on
the site of the Western Market,
Twenty-first and K streets NV,
dealers and farmers are still doing
business at the same old stands, not
at all worried by the rumors Affect
ing the roof over their heads.
The Star enormously reported
yesterday that the market was
boarded up, awaiting the wrecker.
To the contrary, % dealers are
regularly leasing stands in the mar
ket from the District government
each month. On Wednesdays and
Saturdays their number is aug
mented by as many as 80 farmers,
who occupy stands set up along the
sidewalk in front Of the market.
The Western Market was one Of
three markets on which the District
government did not lose money last
year.
The east end of the market is
relatively empty, being occupied
only by lunch stand, fish dealer
and a florist. Dealers say at least
three concerns would be willing to
rent the entire section we're it not
for the fact that the District gov
ernment does not allow merchants
to lease by the year.
The market is open weekdays
from 7:30 am. to 6 pm. and Satur-
days from $50 am. to $3.50 pm.

Sugar
Continued From First Page

ton County schools despite the reg
istration and 300 senior students
from Washington and Lee High
School helped with the work. They
were to act as registrars until 4 pm,
when they were to be relieved by
county school teachers.
Any person, even servant, over
the age of 18, may register for the
entire family. But when this per-
son goes to the registration place
he or she should be prepared to give
the following information about
each person for whom a ration book
is requested: Name, age, height,
weight and color of hair and eyes.
Also the registrant must report on
the amount Of sugar, both brown
and white, owned by the family on
the day of registration.
Each Person Gets q Book.
On registration one ration book
will be issued for each person in the
family. Each book contains %
stamps, one of which must be turned
over to the grocer each time sugar
Is purchased. One stamp will au-
thorize the purchase Of one pound
of sugar. This limit is in effect
until June II, after which the Gov
ernment may change the amount.
The sugar scarcity results from
two things-the shutting of of i'm
ports from the Philippines and other
war zones, and the sinking or diver
sion to other uses Of the ships which
formerly brought sugar here from
Latin America.
Restaurants are faced with sugar
allotments that have been cut about
in half. To help restatrant~owners
to keep their patrons happy with
reduced supplies Of sweets, the Ma
tional Restaurant Association has
issued several suggestions. Among
them are: B. - : 3. -'-5 $50
/. Eliminate icing on the sides Of
cake
O. Feature pies requiring a mini
mum Of sugar.
g. Accustom the diner to sweet
fruits.
4. Use biscuit instead of cake
dough for shortcakes.
S. Use simple sirup made from
boiling water and sugar, insuring
that every grain of sugar will be
dissolved.
6. Use condensed milk and pre-
pared bakery mixes which have been
pre-sweetened.
7. Serve lot of rice pudding.
The secret of sugar saving in the
latter suggestion, is that the starch
in the rice is gradually changed to
sugar.
For the benefit of persons who
work from 3 pm. to II pm. and are
unable to get of for registration the
next four days, ration officials ex-
planned they may register without
going to school building. They
should write a letter, giving all
necessary information, including the
amount Of sugar on hand, II any,
and send it with some friend who
could call at the registration center
while it is open and sign up for
the absentee.

by hdolo 10 me star.
BERN, May A radio station
intended to broadcast in various
Mediterranean languages, especially
Arabic, under the control of board
of directors with Monacan. German
and French membership, is reliably
reported to have been erected in the
tiny principality of Monaco, famous
for its Monte Carlo gambling casino.
Lengthy negotiations preceded the
three-cornered agreement, it is
learned, and the Prince of Monaco
gave permission to construct a
sender after personal consultations
with the Germans.
No Italian has been admitted to
the board, although Italy is re-
ported to have pressed demands to
this end.
Since the defeat of France, the
Prince of Monaco has courted Ger
man protection against possible
seizure of his small state by the
italians. In return for consent to
the installation of a radio station
Monaco is guaranteed its relative
independence in Hitler's new Eu-
rope, with continuance of the reign
of the present Grimaldi dynasty.

six months. Now they cannot be
bought by civilians.
Early Rationing DEGREES.
Formal rationing started in Ger
many a week before the war began
in 1899, when cards were distributed
allotting weekly individual rations
as follows:
Bread, S.5 ounces; fats (butter,
lard, margarin), 9.5 ounces; meats
and meat products, 18 ounces:
cheese, % ounces; sugar, 88 ounces;
oatmeal and rice, ounces: milk.
2 to S ounces for children; none for
adults.
Potatoes later went on the ration
list and other allowances were
frightened up generally.
AS early as August, 1889, a woman
in Germany could not buy anything
new under the clothing restrictions
if she had two Iresses, three sets of
underwear, two nightShirts or pa
jamas, two petticoats, six pairs Of
stockings, six handkerchiefs. No
doubt she gets along with much
less now.
Mems Supplies Held Low.
Men in Germany in 1899 were
limited to two suits and three shirts
and allowed only one stick Of shaw
ing soap for five months.
At the start Of the war German
citizens had to give up their auto
mobiles If they were not used in
war work; only 10 per cent of the
people could buy gasoline; tires were
confiscated; all durable goods lin
tied to purchase by special permit,
and taxis used only for war and
civilian emergency purposes.
Great Britain waited three months
after the start of the war-till jan
uary, 1940-before rationing neces-
sites. Then the entire civilian
population was compelled to regis
ter with the neighborhood grocer
and produce cards to get subnormal
quantities of butter, eggs, bacon and
ham, sugar and tea.
Britain extended rationine to
clothing in June, 194l.

Americans who set out today to
obtain their first war ration books
for sugar-still are living the life of
Riley compared with what the Ger
mans and English faced as long ago
as the outbreak of the war in 1899.
All of the necessities and most of
the luxuries of life are obtainable
here now, but that doesn't mean it
will always be so.
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son believes that by the end of 1912
per capita output of consumer goods
and services will have dropped to
the 1885 level, and by the close of
1943 to the depression low of 1882
Office of Price Administration
figures show that per capita out
put of consumer goods and serv-
ices, based on 1941 prices, was
1858 in 1941: is estimated to run
an average of $500 for 1912 and
to drop to an annual rate of $436
by December, 1912. It was $434
in 1885 and $370 in 1882.
Important Shortages" Sure.
Although Americans have felt the
pinch so far only on new auto
mobiles and tires and are about to
be put on sugar and, in the District
and other areas, on gasoline rations,
Mr.. Henderson looks for gradual
widening of the goods-apportioning
program. He says the country Is
bound to run into important short

prepared for rationing' E

today, after almost five months Of
war, the American people still have
available virtually all the food,
clothing and non-essentials that
money can buy.
Germany, on the other hand,
started her ersatz clothing (artificial
f1ber) program as far back as 1895
and a year later began informal
food rationing. Citizens placed their
names with grocers for certain
articles and waited their turn. To

Russian plans for their own spring
offensive, the communique again re-

unit at an undesignated point on
the 2,000-mile front which drove the

to be holding both the Russian
and German armies in check
along the entire battle front.
For example, the River Don,
usually mile wide, was said
to be 80 miles across in some
