MISS CALIFORNIA Is
CROWNED MISS AMERICA

Atlantic City, N. J.-Blue-eyed
Marilyn Buferd, of Los Angeles,
woke up Sunday and wondered
whether it wasn't just a dream
that she had won the 1916 Miss
America crown.
But the evidence was all there.
From the silver crown hanging
from a bed post, to the tradition
al ermine robe across the bed and
the big trophy sprouting from the
floor.
The 21-year-old former Miss
California did not take any
chances. Before retiring she: scat
tered the symbols of her victory
late Saturday night over her hotel
bedroom lest she wake up and
think it all dream.
Miss Buferd, brown-haired and
fair complexioned, was truly 9
bit dazed by all this clamor and
excitement"eas she sat up in bed
and made pretty target for pho
tographers and newsreel men
who has returned to London for
conferences on Palestine.

SUGAR PRICES ARE
TO BE ADVANCED SOON

lWashington-Sugar prices are
going up, officials said, as OPA
raised or removed price ceilings
on list of other items.
Ceilings will have to be in
creased on sugar and many prod
ucts made from it because of
higher prices that must be paid
to Cuba, a reporter was told by
spokesman for the tOPA and the
Commodity: Credit Corporation.
They declined to forecast how
much the increase would be. But
if it goes up one cent a pound,
they reported, it would raise the
bill for consumers about $80,OO0,-
600 a year. Of course, ,$35, 100000
would represent the higher price
of sugar itself and the rest would
be paid in higher prices On prod
ucts made of sugar.

but they will add about $3.50, 00O,-

Using Chicago ceilings as a
base, OPA gave the following
breakdown of the new prices as
