8ugar Cost 35 Cents a Pound During
Civil War Refiners' Profits
Now Curtailed.
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.

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.
