Sugar Is selling today throughout America at from 8 to 8 ceuts a pound to the consumer, even though there is a world shortage which has reduced this nation's sugar allotment to 70 per cent of normal. Through the efforts of the United States food administration the sugar market has been regulated as far as the producer, refiner and wholesaler is concerned. The food administration has no power to regulate retail prices except by public opinion. Even though more than 85,000 tons of sugar have been shipped to France in the last four months the retail grocer's sugar price Is around 8 to 8H cents. He should sell this, sugar at 8ft to 9 cents, the food administration believes, and asks the American housewife to pay no more than this amount. ' Last August when the food admin istration was organized the price of sugar rose suddenly to 11 cents a pound, During the Civil War sugar cost the' consumer 35 cents n pound. By regulation of the sugar market ami reducing the price to 8ft and 9 cents and keeping It from advancing to 20 cents the food administration has sav ed the American public nt least $180, 000.000 In four months. According to a statement made by Herbert Hoover the other day. " "It Is our stern duty to feed the al lies, to maintain their health and strength at nny cost to ourselves," Mr. Hoover declared. "There has not been, nor will be as we see It, enough sugar for even their present meagre and depressing ration unless they send ships to remote markets for It If we In our greed and gluttony force them either to further reduce their ration or to send these ships we will have done damage to our abilities to win this war. "If we stnd ths ships to Java for 250,000 tons of sugar next year we will have necessitated the em ployment of eltven extra ships fer ens year. These ships If used In ' transporting troops would take. 150,000 to 200,000 men to Francs." Reason for World Shortage. As Mr. Hoover pointed out, the United States, Canada and Englnnd were sugar Importing countries before the war, while' France and Iiaiy were very nearly self supporting. The main sources of . the world's sugar supply wss Germany and neighboring powers, the West Indies and the East Indies. German sugar Is no longer available, as It is used entirely in Germany, which also absorbs sugar of surround ing countries. England can no longer buy 1,400,000 long tons of sugar each year from Germany. The French sugar produc tion has dropped from 750,000 to 210,- 000 tons. The Italian production has fallen from 210,000 tons to 75,000 tons. Thus three countries were thrown upon East and West Indian sources for 1,925,000 tons annually to maintain their normal consumption, Because of the world's shipping shortage the allied nations started drawing on the West Indies for sugar; East Indian sugar took three times the number of ships, since the dis tance was three times as great. Sud denly the west was called on to fur nish and did furnish 1,420,000 tons of sugar to Europe when 300,000 tons a year was the pre-war demand. The allies had drawn from Java 400,000 tons before the shipping situation be came acute. "In spite of these shipments," Mr. Hoover stated the other day, "the English government In August reduced the household sugar ration to a basts of 24 pounds per annum per capita. And In September the French govern ment reduced their household ration to 13 2-10 pounds a year, or bit over 1 pound of sugar a month. Even this meagre ration could not be filled by the French government It was found early In the fall. America was then asked for 100,000 tons of sugar and succeeded In sending 85,000 tons by December 1. The French request was granted because the American house hold consumption was then nt least 55 pounds per person, and It was consid ered the duty of maintaining the French morale made our course clear." Today the sugar situation may be summarized by stating that If America will reduce its sugar con sumption 10 to 15 per cent this nation will bs able to send 200,000 mors soldiers to France. Sugar today "sells nt seaboard re fineries at $7.25 a hundred pounds. The wholesale grocer has agreed to limit his profit to 25 cents a hundred plus freight, and the retail grocer is supposed to take no more than 50 cents a hundred pounds profit. This regu lation was made by the food ad minis tratlon, which now asks the housewife to reduce sugar consumption as much as'possible, using other sweeteners, and also'Temlnds her that she should pay no more than 9 cents a pound for sugar.

NEW SPRING GOODS ARRIVING DAILY Thomson Brothers Weekly War News v? Digest. Gen. Crozier Discusses Age Limit En largement of Selective Draft Service Law. Discussing enlargement of the age limit for selective military service, Provost Marshal General Crozier said: "A pronounced majority of the boards favor some enlargement, but there Is great diversity of opinion as to the proper age limit. Nineteen and . 3 5 are perhaps the limits most frequently suggested; but some rec ommend 40 and 45 yean as tba up per limit. There is a distinctly stron ger demand for raising the maximum ag man lur iuwenu mi uuiuiuiwiu. i r i i i ii.i . .im ven. crozier estimates inai i.aas, 388 acceptable single men would be made available by an increase in the age limit to include men np to 45 years. The estimate places the num ber of acceptable single men between 18 and 21 years at 1,54(,23. The number of probably acceptable sin gle men already registered bnt not called is 1,321,846. According to these figures, should the age limit be enlarged to include men of from IS years to 45 years, inclusive, 4, 257,516 physically and otherwise qualified unmarried men would be open 'for call to service.
