Babst, of American Sugar Refining Co., Tells Why Supply Went Short—Plenty of Sugar Soon—And in Spite of Demand, Price Will Probably Remain. Reasonably Low. No ‘one ever dreamed that sugar, which the world produces in billions | of ‘pounds yearly, could = become so scarce that folks would be asked b the government and the sugar re- finers to use” it sparingly. But the war, which has brought about many | extraordinary _conditions, also upset { the world’s sugar bowl. Today, everybody is interested in | sugar. The housewife is eager to | know when sugar will be more plenti- |ful'* And from a different point of | view, the business man is following the sugar situation, interested in the EARL D. BABST success of the plan adopted as an emergency war measure by the gov- ernments of the United States and the allies to regulate and control supply, demand and price. ‘Shese facts lend particular impor- tance to the following interview with Farl D. Babst, head of the American Sugar Refining Company and one of the three United States members of the International Sugar company More Sugar Soon. Tn the interview Mr. Babst covered every phase of the sugar situation. First. he spoke of ihe prospects of the immediate future, which most con- cerns the housewife. Said he: ugar will soon be more plentiful, with the new crop of sugar can be- ing harvested in' Cuba and Porto Rico. Everything is favorable to a sufficient supply for our needs, hut not enough to use sugar extravagantly or waste- fully. There must be no cverbuying 10arding. And what about the price?” he was asked. “Ordinarily the so-calied law of sup- 'y and demand is a most important factor in regulating the price of sugar a5 of every other commodity. But this Jaw has been more or lees, if not en- tirely, ‘suspended as the result of the control of the sugar situation by the act of six governments, including our own ‘Al doring the <war sugar in the I'nited States has been lower in price, takipz the average yearly price. than anyWhere else in the world. Today, comparing sugar on the basis of caloric food value, it is one of the cheapest foods Sugar Prices to Drop. “After the rew supplies are received from Cuba and refined. and prices are lowered under the proposals of the 1'ood Administration, sugar will be one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, foods to g0 on the American table.” Mr. Pabst agrees with Mr. Hoover allied nations had not en- bint agreement to conserve avaiiable sugar supply, the price 0 the consumer would have soared Said he in explanation “The facts are these: Europe's pro- duetion of sugar was not only greatly curtailed when the opposing armies swarmed over the susar beet flelds of rihern France and Belgium, but ~and and other foreign countries “re forced to turn to oth urces suzar. The lo source was Cuba, from which the United States ety the hulk of its eane suga Thic untl the roarhed, capsed o' gerious o price hoth of raw and Lt with the Interpatio; tes acting for the « 4 Administration in controi in this iry, the supply will be equably ufl'fim‘e and Photoplays at the hor lch Rifle” Club meets at the L 0. 0.

No Ships For Java., “Great quantities of raw cane sugar are locked up in far-away Java, un- available because ships cannot be spared to transport it. Hence the Eu- ropean allies are asking Cuba and the United States as a practical patriotic duty to supply them with sugar. The United States is making every effort to comply with this request for the very interesting reason that if we save the allies from the necessity of trans- porting 400,000 tons of sugar from Java, it will release shipping sufficient to carry about 200,000 American sol- diers to France.” AUDITORIUM. “Miss U.

Two tremendous features are booked to appear at thig theatre the first half of this week. The headline attraction Devoe is Geraldine Farrar in her latest Ready Mired part Arteraft production, The Dev Paint Stone. In this picture the celebrated star will have as a vehicle a story of vnusual interest, considerably differ- ent from any of the former film plays in which she has thus far appeared. The underlying theme of the narra- tive, namely, the sinister effect of the world-old stumbling block of man, su- perstition, furnishes the basis for a story of interesting study. Tully Marshall, who played here in the all star production, Fine Feathers, skil- fully interprets the part of Silas Mar- tin, the thoroughly unlovable miser of the story. Hobart Bosworth appears as Robert Judson, the criminologist. The other feature is Douglas Fairbanks in a reissue of his former big success, Varnishes, . Oils and Brushes and Metals Preston Bros.
