Effective June 13th, State Food Administrator Page announced a reduction of 50 per cent and more in the maximum quantities of sugar that might be sold by dealers to individual consumers and required all dealers, wholesale an retail, to keep an absolutely accurate record of all sales of sugar to their customers, the record to Include name of pur chaser, date of sale, quantity and price. Effective the same date quan tities of sugar that might be sold to individuals who desire the same for canning and preserving purposes, was reduced from fifty to twenty-five pounds. Indiiduals who need a greater quantity of sugar at one time can pur chase itupon approval of their county food administrator. All commercial users of sugar for less essential product shave already been cut to 80 per cent of their last year's consumption and In all . prob ability there will be a further cut after July 1st. The curtailment in the use of sugar for such products and the more stringent restrictions governing sales of sugar have been devised in order to assure an ample supply of sugar for domestic consumption and for canning and preserving. The food administration has announced repeat edly that it desires to encourage In every way the use of sugar for can ning and preserving although It de sires that care and economy be exer cised even in this use. State Food. Administrator Page has Invited manufacturers of beverage syrup and owners of bottling works and soda fountains to join an honor roll of non usser of sugar until the present situation is relieved. A large number of these establishments which have been found to have exceeded their allotment have been closed up temporarily. The food administration is prepar ing to put a number of inspectors in the field in North Carolina and will be able to quickly detect any iolations of rules and regulations governing the sale of sugar or any other food product and the temper of the administration Indicates that wilful violators and food "hogs" may expect no mercy at the hands of the food administration when they are caught.

MclNTYRE. (Special Correspondent of The Dis patch.) New York, June 15. It was a bit of drama without a plot They enter ed the car on Broadway-the well known actor and the smiling lady. He wore than sort of conscious uncon sciousness that the best actors wear in private life. His suit was excel lently tailored, his hat at the proper angle and his spats and gloves spic and span. His name hangs In electric lights from a Rialto playhouse. Matinee girls stuff themeslves with candy and gurgle each time he steps before the footlights. Little is known about his home life. It is said he married a woman "not in the profession." His glance about the car seemed to say, "You may look if you like, you know, but people usually pay." They sat on the little raised dais at the front end of the car, and the place became a stage. The smiling lady was not young, nor slim, nor pretty; she was, how ever, adorable. A sort of inner hap piness shone from her eyes and her corners turned up. She didn't say anything, nor did he. He just looked at her with something hard to label perhaps adoration, perhaps a little pity of remorse. It is hard to read the actory face. Suddenly, as though giving it all up, he took her arm and pressed it ever so gently. Then she turned away and the smiling lips quivered, the happy eyes swam suddenly with tears. A drama in real life a problem play was being enacted but no one could guess the meaning. Had she been watching him, perhaps from in front of the house playing opposite his lead ing lady, who was young and slim and pretty? Did she sense that he was tired of her and was his gentle touch a reassurance that all was well? Finally he got off the car near Times Square to leave her. He patted her hand before he left and then stepped out. She rode on with her eyes closed and her lips moving as if in prayer. He was going to his mati nee leaving the real for the unreal. ENABLES YOU TO WIV A YO VPS ELF OF STOMACH. SOLD MD ENDORSED 3Y 5 Some have Japanese and Chinese waiters and a sprinkling of the Palm Beach negro waiters, which add a new cosmopolitan touch to the roofs. Walt ers are almost impossible to secure and bus boys are impossible. The bus boy ied to make $25 a month, but now he spurns $75 a month and gratu ities. Peculiarly, however, the war has not caused any noticeable deficit in hat pirates. "And," says Wilson Mizner, "those are the birds they need in the front line, trenches. They can get away with anything." I have a card from Raymond Hitch cock, who is leading a pitiable life on the beaches at Atlantic City. During the day there is nothing for him to do but loll about in the sand in his trick cerise bathing suit and in the evening he allows hmself to be pushed up and down the board walk in a roller chair. And in the same mail comes a letter from Al Woods, who is with great for titude suffering a stay at Cape May. It is remindful of Bide Dudley's days on the stage. His room mate was in pawn at a theatrical boarding house. Bide got a group of friends together and said : "Come with me and 111 show you how an actor can suffer." It was tough luck for Fred McMullin to be injured just when he was Dut- ting up the greatest game be has dis played since joining the White Sox. HAILSTORM DAMAGES CROPS ABOUT WARSAW (Special to The Dispatch) Warsaw, June 15. A disastrous hail storm did considerable damage to growing crops in a neighborhood a few miles east of Warsaw several nights ago. Tobacco crops especially were damaged many thousand dollars' worth. The storm was entirely local, however, and no affects of it were felt here or in other neighborhoods. The Irish potato crop is short in thjs section more than half the crop, and from a financial standpoint is a failure. Excessive rains in the spring during the growing season, with other unfavorable weather conditions, is given as the cause of the failure of a normal yield. The report that bumper crops would be made, coupled with the knowledge on northern markets that an Immense acreage had been plant ed, has tended to lower prices and many planters will not get back the money invested in their crops. The Detroit Tigers seem to be up against it -in trying to strengthen the infield, weak spot at first base. The Tigers miss George Bums, who is showing big stuff for the Athletics. The roof gardens of Manhattan have opened for the season. The convert charge paying for sitting down has been torpedoed this season. Last year it ranged from 50 cents at the Wal dorf to one dollar at the Majesctic. But the war will not permit of the couvert charge. People would rather give the money to the Red Cross and the hotel men realize it. Roof gar dens in New York are the show places for the real New Yorkers from social stars all down the line to the rogue ishly rouged. There is life, color and plenty of jazz at the roofs. The prob lem of supplying waiters on account of the draft and the new "work or fight" order has been a serious one.
