And from a different point. of view, the business man is. . following the sugar situation, interested in the success of the plan adopted us an emergency war measure by the gov erninents of the I'nited States and the Allies to regulate, and control supply, demand and price. These facts lend particular impor tance to the following Interview with Kurl D. Uabst, head of th American Sugar Refining Company and one of the three United .States members of the International Sugar Committee. Not so many years ago, it wasn't the popular custom for men in Mr. Halist's position to discuss their busi ness wit li the public. Hut Mr. liabst is of the new school of Big Business managers who believes the public is entitled to know all about it. .More Sugar Soon In til" interview Mr. Babst covered i every phase, of the sugar situation. Klrst, he spoke of the prospects of the immediate ratine, which .most con cerns the ho.isewifa. Maid he: ".Sugar will soon be more plentiful, with the new crop of sugar cane be ing harvested In Cuba and I'orto IMco. Everything is favorable to a sufficient supply for our needs, but not enough to use sugar extravagantly or waste fully. There must be no overbuying or hoarding." "And what about the price?" he was asked. "Ordinarily the so-called law of sup ply and demand Is a most Important factor in regulating the price of su gar as of every other commodity. But this law hns been more or less. If not entirely, suspended as the result of the control of the sugar situation bv the act of six governments, i scluding our own. "All during the war sugar In the United States has been lower in price, taking the average yearly price, than anywhere else In the world. Today, comparing sugar on the basis of cslorio food value, it Is one of the cheapest foods. Sugar I'ricrs to Drop "After the new supplies are received from Cuba and refined, and prices are lowered under the proposals of the Food Administration, sugar will be one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest, foods to go one the American table." Mr. Babst agrees with Mr. Hoover that If the Allied nations had not en tered Into joint agreement to conserve the available sugar supply, the price to the consumer would have soared. Said he in explanation: "The facts are these: Europe's pro duction of sugar was not only greatly curtailed when the opposing armies swarmed over the sugar beet fields of northern France and Belgium, but England and other foreign countries were forced to turn to other sources for sugar. The logical source was Cuba, from which the United States gets the buFk of its cane sugar. "This developed competition which, until the international agreement was reached, caused a serious advance in price both of raw and refined sugar. But with the International Committee si ting for the Allies and the Food Ad- ; ministration in control In this coun try, the supply will be equably distri buted and pr'ces stabilized. ! Xo Ships for Java I "Great quantities of raw cano sugar are locked up in far-away Java, un available because ships cannot be spar ed to transport it. Hence the Eu ropean Allies are asking Cuba and the United States as a practical patriotic duly to supply them with sugar. The United States Is making every effort to comply with this requ-jst for the very Interesting reason that If we jfiive the Allies from the necessity of trans porting 400,000 tons of sugar from Java, it will release shipping sufficient In this original conception, the Co signer has undoubtedly ben Inspired by the fine traditions of ancient rug weavers, who originated the practice of Introducing objects of adoration, floral and animal symbols in tho o signs of their floor coverings. The "Liberty Kug," representing the best efforts of American dejigne.s and weavers, combines a variety cf motifs typifying noteworthy places, natural woncers and objects of nation, al interest which are symbolic of tho marvelous growth and progress of America. Two celebrated events, each marking a great epoch in the history of the country, an: vividly recalled in panels illustrating the Discovery of America in 14ai by Columbus, wio braved the Western Ocean in the pic turesque Spanish Galleon that he might be the first white man to touch its shores, and tho picturing of Gatun Locks, I'anama Canal completed in 1916, and the most wonderful engi neering achiements of modern times, linking together the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.

A wonderful view of the National Capitol is shown and behind its great Dome may be seen .he Washington monument. The contrast between past and pres ent modes of travel is illustrated by the I'rairie schooner which carriec' the "Farty-Niners" across '.he Western plains, menaced by roving herds of Buffalo and hostile Indians whoso wigwams dotted that wild land, and the niile.a-minute Express Train of the twentieth century and its connec tions Which today hurls its thousand of passengers over Niagara Falls and from one. end of tho country to the other. The contrast is even further emphasized by the Aeroplane soaring above the Statue of Liberty and one of our modern battleships aflcat in the Bay The interesting arrangement of the border shows tlV Seals of the various States, New England- being represent ed by Connecticut, .Massachusetts and Uhode Islam.', the Middle Atlan tic States by New York.

Here is a way to make light, delicious muffins without using ex pensive butter: Instead of the usual lump of but ter which you melt and stir into your muffins, melt a svyall lump of wholesome Cotto lene one-third less than you would use of butter. Use the recipe given below and see how these light Cottolene muffins rise to any occa sion. Just take: l4 tablespoons mefred Cottolene 1 tablespoon sugar lyi cups milk 1 ege 3 cups sifted flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1 scant teaspoon salt Now of course this recipe saves you housekeeping money. But what you want to know most is this: Will Cottolene give yourmuffinsthe flavor that real muffins aught to have! It will. Just try one batch of muffins with wholesome Cottolene and see! You may be sur prised at the small quantity of Cottolene ' in the recipe. But don't be. You should always use one-third less of Cottolene than you ordinarily use of butter or other short enings. Nof'alone for muffins but for flaky biscuits and perfectly delicious cakes and pies, as well.

When Mr. Babst voluntarily ap peared the other week before thn fci.n. ate Sub-comnutlee inquiring into the sugar situation, tie told what his com pany as well as the other large relin ing interests were doing to safeguard the sugar supply. Among other things, he laid emphasis on the value of sugar in packages as an economical means of 'distribution. This especially interested Senators Lodge, Jones anil Vardaman, and the subject was brought up in the Interview. In reply to questions. Mr. Babst said: "Yes, I presume the public, being interested in having the sugar sujily conserved, is equally interested in knowing why sugar in packages can be more economically distributed lhan loose sugar. And this Is the; reason: "In the first place, packGc sugars are weighed and packed by "machine. This save the grocer's time ,lnd stops his loss by spillage which occurs when sugar has to be scooped by hand out of a barrel, carried to the scales, weighed and tied in paper bugs. And when he counts this saving, plus the value of his time and the cost of paper bags and string, he finds he can handle package sugar more economically. Making Sugar Ho 'Round "Sugar in packages also enables him to restrict sales to actual needs, to make It go as far as possible. In our own experience during the recent period or great scarcity, we were able to distribute sugar more widely be cause instead of sending a harrel of 350 pounds to one grocer, we could send the same number of pounds, in three cases of 120 pounds to three grocers." In conclusion, Mr. Babst said: "With the sugar refining industry in this country carried on by large busi ness units, the public has benefited. We and the other sugar refiners hove fully appreciated our respons bility to safeguard the sugar supply,, made ospeclaly difficult by present world conditions." The American Sugar Refining Com pany, of which Mr. Babst is president, refines and distributes about one-third of all the sugar consumed in Un united States. The Tjogal Advisory Board will close today at 5 p. m. after five : weeks of strenuous wervice aiding ; registrants in filling out their ques- ; tionnuires properly.

All the work has been done at a sacrifice, a very small sum being derived from the work. They were appointed by the Legal Advisory Board of Forsyth County composed of Messrs. XV. M. Jfendren, Burton Craige and Judge II. U. Ktarbuck. It Is through their hearty co-operation that much of the success of the Board is due. In closing their offices the board Issued .-. statement thanking all those who had so patrl-itlcally and with out pay assisted them. The state ment follows: "The Legal Advisory Board will close today at 5 o'clock. Yesterday was the last return day for question naires mailed out by the City Kx eniption Board on January 9, and to day is given extra by the Legal Ad visory Board for the purpose of al lowing all registrants who have not yf-t 'urned their questionnaires to do so.
