PICTURES TELL Of
SUGAR PRODUCTION
Andrews, Maynard Aid In Pre-
senting Interesting Program
At Rotary Meeting

An interesting program of motion
pictures in colors that presented al
the steps of sugar production, from
the beet seed to the sacked product
was presented Tuesday at a meet
ing of the Rotary club. A consid-
cradle part showed the recent adj
vances in farm methods and the
introduction of machines to replace
hand labor. The program was in
charge of B. M. Harris, a program
committeeman for September, who
introduced Lyman H. Andrews,
superintendent of the Billings fac
tory of Great Western Sugar COM
pany, and Jack Maynard of the Bill
llngs Brokerage company.
The picture began by showing the
Importance of sugar as a food and
implement of war. Actual pro-
duction scenes began with the seed,
now produced wholly in the Uuited
States. After planting and after the
young plants had come through the
surface of the soil, old hand labor
methods and new mechanical ways
were illustrated in connection with
the growth, thinning, harvesting and
loading.
Although the pictures were as
sembled from over the whole u
try, a major portion had been taken
in Colorado and Montana. Often in
the distance were familiar noun
tains.
Transportation from field to rail
road and thence to factory was de-
picted, followed by slicing and the
several steps in producing refined
sugar from beets. Some idea of
enormousness of the quantity of
needed to keep America go
ing at home and at the fronts was
conveyed in glimpses of sugar ware
houses.
By-products are almost important
as sugar, particularly in feeding
livestock. The closing scenes were
shots of that industry.
l.. A. Nutting spoke briefly on
the city in purchasing a
cemetary tract and said the subject
would be more fully discussed at a
alter meeting.

In the thrust, elements Of the
95th division overran Feve and
Quaraille and captured Woippy, a
mile and a half north of Metz.
Other forces were the same dis
lance away at two points on the
south as the big guns of the for
tress still blazed defiance.
Strong forces of German infan-
try, sallying from positions just
west of Metz, recaptured Fort HUI
bert, but the Americans hung on
to advanced positions planted two
miles west Of the city.
Attack and counterattack blend
ed into one single swirl of conflict
to the south, where the Fifth in
fantry seized Augny, two miles
southwest of Metz and cut in be-
hind Fort Verdun, another of those
big subterranean fortresses stand
ing sentinel before the city.
Meanwhile the first big armored
clash since the Third army's on
slaught began broke 80 miles
southeast of Metz around Bourgal-
troff. 20 miles south of the Saar
frontier.
On battlefield far too muddy
for tanks, elements Of the Fourth
armored division slugged back
German panzers wading out from
their bulge positions near the re-
versed Maginot line. At least two
enemy tanks were knocked out,
but some of the heaviest artillery
fire yet seen on this front held
the Fourth gains to about mile:
Every road and rail line still
open out of Metz was within easy
artillery range, but clouds drop
ping to tree-top level prevented
aerial observation Of any possible
withdrawal. .,
The Germans themselves said
all civilians had been evacuated
from Metz, and the weaker than
expected defense indicated the
Germans may have pulled out all
but rearguards to save manpower
for the battle at the German Dor
der and the Rhine.

tiers spokesman said the objec-
tive was to protect the important
Allied airbase on Biak island, i'm
mediately south in the Schouten
group.
A field dispatch from James
Hutcheson, AP correspondent with
the dismounted first cavalry divi-
sion, reported the indications OF
lessening enemy resistance on
Leyte. He said the japanese were
abandoning strong positions in rear
instead of fighting to the death.
Units of the first cavalry were
within sight of the vital Ormoc
road, down which the Nipponese
must retreat into Ormoc. The
troopers were from half a mile to
a mile east of the road at point
about IA miles north of Ormoc.
Resistance was described as light
and scattered but the supply pro-
blem was staggering due to the
rough, sodden terrain.
To the west of the cavalrymen,
doughboys of the Oath division had
executed a surprise wheeling move
Ormoc road to the rear of the JAP
anese positions. The development
was carried out brilliantly by a
battalion commanded by 1t. Col.
Robert B. Spragins.
The infantry cut loose from its
supply line to swing wide through
the mountains to the southwest
and then cut back to within 1000
yards of the highway. Fred Hamp-
son, APP correspondent with the
oath division, said the maneuver
put the doughboys into the enemy s
rear areas. So far were they from
their supply base, he added, that
the Yanks fought for four days on
a single meal.
Other liberation forces converg-
ed on Ormoc from the east and
south. Elements of the Goth In
fantry division, advancing across
the rugged central portion of the
island, were less than IA miles east
Of the port.

Decline In Death Rate
Greater Among Women

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.- Up 49,
Our declining death rate is going
down faster for women than for
men, the census bureau reported
today.
A census official said that this
is due mainly to progress in car
ing for women in childbirth and
women with ailments that originate
in childbirth.
In the year 1900, the death rate
for males of all ages was 17.9
per thousand population. For fe-
males it was 1875, the lower rate
being attributed to the fact that
women generally lead less violent
lives.
