SUGAR A FALSE ISSUE.
Congress, which is solely respon
sible for the present sugar situa
tion, continues to place the blame
elsewhere, declares the New York,
world. At first it criticised the;
President for his failure to buy the j
1919 Cuban crop. Then it found I
Mr. Hoover and the Sugar Equal-'
ization board guilty. Now a par-,
tisan committee of the house ac-,
cuses Attorney General Palmer be-;
cause he ‘‘fixed maximum selling:
prices for sugar in Louisiana.-’
The charge against Mr. Palmer.!
like all the others, is false. He j
fixed no prices in Louisiana. When i
by reason of the inaction of Con
gress the Cuban purchase was de
layed and conditions became acute
he made a ruling that persons in
Louisiana making sales below 17
and 18 cents a pound would not be
prosecuted for profiteering. This
was a recognition of the state of
the market and was the result and
not the cause of the high prices ev-;
erywhere prevailing.
As long ago as July 23 last, Mr. :
Hoover, in a cablegram from Paris
to Julius H. Barnes, stated that
sugar control depended upon an ex
tensions of the powers of .the equal
ization board by Congress. In Au
gust the President laid the matter
before that body, specifically ask
ing power to acquire and distribute
the Cuban crop, as had been done
in 1918. No action was taken until
late in December, and it. was then
too late.
Ever since the present Congress
assembled. Republicans have decried
the use of the well-defined war pow
ers after hostilities had ceased.
Here we have persisted in untruth
ful complaints because extraordinary
measures were not adopted in the
absence of law
NO EXCUSE FOR GROWING OLD
Don’t grow old—or rather, though
you grow old as far as years are
concerned, do not act old otherwise,
advises the New York Sun. It is
easy to stay young, according to Dr.
Louis R. Welzmiller, physical direc
tor of West Side Y. M. C. A. He
avers that ’most people grow old
because they cease doing young
things, not because they need new
glands.
"A man is young," says the doc
tor, "because he plays; he doesn’t
play because he is young. He is
the product of his own actions. The
old man who sits down after din
ner, grouchy because the children
make a noise, has already passed
on. He ought to be Oslerized. All
he is worth to the family is the pay
check he brings home.
“But look at mother, who plays
games with the children, sympa
thizes with them in their troubles
and has a part in all they do. She
remains flexible; she hasn’t had time
to grow old.
“It is dangerous for some men to
retire from business. You know the
kind who work at high tension for
long years, doing nothing but strive
for money. They get it and then
announce their retirement; a little
later you read a nice obituary say
ing what a success they had made.
| They hadn't.
“To keep young one must do
young things. Don't be too digni
fied to play baseball, old cat, leap
frog or other lively things which
keep the muscles in trim. Have
young associates and be a boy with ;
them. Spend time each day study- i
ing to be young. Fish, hunt, golf,!
if you like it, and don't cry quits
the first time a muscle twinges; get.
into the game harder and go to the
gym to work out the ache, or play
with the kids until you forget it.
“Take youth with you as you go ;
toward old age. You can lead Fath- ■
er Time a merry race by thinking
young, playing young, and keeping
physically fit."

CHINESE PROVINCE
SHANGHAI. — Szechuen, most
populous of China's provinces, with i
extensive and varied resources and I
almost unlimited areas of soil of
the greatest productivity, is bandit
ridden and is torn with the strife
of five opposing governing factions
that seemingly are beyond the con-:
trol of the Canton government, to
which Szechuen is supposed to pay
allegiance. This is the report brought
to Shanghai by foreigners who have
recently been traveling in the prov
ince. i
The country along all the main
highways, according to these reports,
is overrun with bands of armed out
laws and it is only possible for for
eigners to travel these byways in
any degree of safety by first buying
protection and immunity from mo
lestation from bandit leaders who
control the various areas. When
the traveler asks for an armed
guard, this is provided—for a con
sideration. This guard must be
changed when the traveler enters
the area controlled by another mili
tary official.
By following this procedure, trav
elers from the province say, the
wayfarer is ordinarily safe, but it
happens sometimes that the spheres
of control of the leaders overlap
and travelers who have bought pro
tection in one area are at times
attacked by bandits whose leaders
have not been appeased.
The consideration required to pro
vide a guard for a traveler is not
particularly heavy, as it is said to
be about 50 cents a day per guard.
Ordinarily travelers who do fall
into the hands of outlaws do not
suffer bodily harm, but it is not un
common for native servants to be
murdered, and cases exist in which
foreigners have been taken and held
for ransom.

MANY WAR-BRIDES
RETURN TO FRANCE
-
PITTSBURGH. Pa. — Incompati
bility of American and French cus
toms has caused 12,000 of approxi
mately 50,000 French war-brides to
return to FTance. according to Mrs.
Reginald H. Johnson, president of
the recently organized L’Espoir
Franco-American club here. The
club, formed at the suggestion of
Mile. Odette de Bouglon, of Paris,
who was in Pittsburgh recently, is
expected to broaden the interests of
French girls who became the brides
of Americans overseas, and to make
them contented in their new homes.
Mrs. Johnson, herself a war-bride,
and wife of a professor of lan
guages at the University of Pitts
burgh. declared that members of
the club are learning English, of
course, but slowly, and “when one
cannot talk, one thinks too much.”
“We of France are individual
ists,” she said. “We live within
ourselves and our own people, and
that makes it doubly hard for the
French girls who have left their
homes and families. Not that they
do not love their husbands, to be
sure, but they miss their people.”
The town of Douglas pays the
Alaska Electric Light & Power com
pany $76 per month for street light
ing, and there is talk of trying to
cut the cost down, as part of a
general curtailment in municipal ex
penses.
