Members Of Congress
Generally Approve
Rationing Of Sugar
But Some Senators
Are Critical Of Policies
Before Order
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Sugar rattonng was generally ap-
proved at the Capitol yesterday as a
necessary step. Here and there,
however, were members Of Congress
who were critical.
The opinion was expressed that
within q year sugar production in
the United States would be in
creased sufficiently to meet all
needs. That was under the assump-
tion the war would continue for
longer period, and greatly increased
production would Offset curtailment
Of sugar imports.
Senator Brown, Democrat, Of
Michigan, one Of the great sugar
beet producing States. pointed out
that the administration had re-
moved all restrictions-imposed un-
der the Sugar Quota Acton the
growing Of sugar in this country.
The Department of Agriculture is
now urging the fullest production
He said that he expected q very
big increase in the sugar beet crop
In this country.
II have no doubt that consider
able sugar boarding has been going
on in this country since the outbreak
of the war, and particularly since
the speech Of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wickard over the radio three
weeks ago, in which he warned that
there might be a sugar shortage"
said Senator Brown" It Is un-
fortunate that the American people
will have to go through this ration
ing Of sugar supplies. But it is war
time. and we must do what is nee
essary
Browns Warning Recalled.
"The administration discouraged
an increase in sugar production in
this country up to last December,
when Japan attacked at Pearl Har-
Dor. 1t was felt that Cuba and the
offshore islands were better adapted
to raising sugar."
Senator Brown, along with the
late Senator Adams, Democrat, of
Colorado, and Senator OMahoney,
Democrat, of wyoming, warned that
conditions might arise which would
bring about a sugar shortage, partic-
ularly if the imports from the
Philippine Islands, amounting to
something hess than 100000 tons
annually, should be cut of. That
has now happened, Senator Brown
said, and added that there might
be a considerable curtailment in
the imports received from Hawaii,
which has been sending about
100000 tons to this country each
year.
Beet sugar, which accounts for
about 1900, 900 tons of the country's
sugar bowl each year. is produced
in number Of States. The three
largest producers are Michigan,
Colorado and California. Utah,
Wyoming and a number of other
States also produce sugar beets.
Senator Brown said that the deci-
sion Of the Department of Agri-
culture to encourage increased sugar
production, which had not come
until late in January, was in time
for growers in his State and In
Colorado, but late for California,
which plants its beets earlier.
Both Louisiana and Florida, which
grow sugar cane, can also increase
their production of sugar materially,
with all wraps off. But, Senator
Brown pointed out, it took the cane
more than year or even two years
to reach full production.
Leon Henderson, price administra-
tor, has pointed out that the coun-
try can count on approximately

That ancient admonition to
children, Don't accept second
helping of Aunt Martha's cake,
even if she offers it to you," may
we'll be applied to grown-ups in
these days of food rationing. To
our code of ethics must be added
certain considerations dealing
with shortage foods, particularly
when dining at the home OF
relatives and friends. 1t would
be a thoughtful gesture, when
accepting an invitation for din
ner at some ones home, to Sug-
gest that you bring along your
share of coffee, sugar, or even
meat. Or If that seems too alb
rupt, you can be a bit more
subtle. Bring along cake to
take care of the dessert, or at
least to replace the amount of
precious sugar you have con-
sumed.
In England it is not uncommon
for guests to bring along their
share of the entire meal to the
home of their host. 1t is likely
that the custom will be estab-
lshed here in the near future.
Until then, however, be careful
about accepting that second

Christmas tree lights and pull the
switch for the outdoor lighting. in
the event of an AFRAID alarm
while you were out.
Many of us make the mistake
of using too many lights. Chill
dren, especially, love to have doz-
ems of them going, and are
broken-hearted when their IA
vorite bird or clown" bulb
finally burns out. However, a
dozen well-spaced lamps may be
made most effective by placing a
reflector in back Of each one. The
brilliant, tinsel-like surface of the
reflector will repeat the light and
make the lamp seem many times
more powerful. Another trick is
to place two or more decorative
ornaments close to the light bulb
so that the light is reflected on
the various surfaces.
If tree lights are scarce this
year you may wish to share part
of your supply with neighbor.
Your own ingenuity will be taxed
to make two dozen lights do
what four dozen did before, but
when you begin to work out light
patterns, getting the fullest ef-
feet from each small bulb, you
will wonder why you ever
thought that the glare of hun
dreds of lights was necessary to
make gay Christmas.
The traditional green spruce
tree that means Christmas to
most Of us may be hard to find
this year. Many CT us will have
smaller trees or think up an
other way to us, our tree lights.
A most effective arrangement
may be made over the mantel
in the living room A beautiful
green wreath with sprigs Of holly
and huge red satin bow will
fill this large important space.
The Christmas tree lights may
be placed in clusters around the
circumference of the wreath.
Another string of lights con-
cealed within punches of spruce
and holly at either end of the
mantel would complete a decora-
tive arrangement that would be
most effective.
You may fabricate an imitation
tree by sticking short branches
OF spruce into 4 cone made of
chicken wire The light bulbs
placed on this with minute pre-
cision will give trim, orderly,

ing.
An effective way to entice
your friends on Christmas eve
is to use your tree lights. all with
frosty white globes, to outline
your doorway. Conceal them
behind a garland of green leaves
or spruce so that the light source
is not visible. The illumination
will set your house apart from
