ANOTHER HUN ALLY
Another ally of the Hun has
been discovered—the open sugar
bowl in lunch room and -other
public eatins places.
It b''p be.en the happy hunting
ground of the greedy, the waste
ful add the careless, who have
without restriction gratified1 an
over-developed sweet tooth, heaPed
a superabundance of sugar in tea
or coffee or spilled it carelessly with
ou* compunction.
The abolition of the open sugar
bowl since the beginning of the
sugar scarcity has saved an amaz-_
Jn.o- number of pounds and acted as
an educational measure to the pub
lic as well.
£ugar conservation ig on© of the
most vital features of the wort of
th^ U. 3. Food Administration at
present and every possible means of
cutting down consumption is be
ing urged. •

NEW PLAN FOB TRAINING
U. S. FLYERS FOR OVERSEAS
Washington, Sept. 14.—In con
nection with th# development of the
new Plan of the Air Service for
thorough training of our flyers be*
'ort they are gent overseas, ex
perienced flying officers are being
returned from abroad to act
special instructors in the more a^"
vanced course of aviation training.
Recent nractice in elemental train
ing now gives the candidate more
time in the air with bis instructor
tha* heretofore. The new plan is
known as the Gosport system or
"All Thru," a» it ig popularly call
ed here, and insureg closer contact
between the cadet and the instruct-,
or.
When the cadeta arrive at a
'lyiEP field from the ground school,
where they have learned much of
the tneory of flight, engine control
and repair, radia, signaling, and
other kindred subjects, several of
them are assigned to an instructor1
who stays with them until they have
qualified in elemental flying. They
are then sent to the special schools
foi f'nal work and training in their
particular line,, a# pursuit, re-1
conntisance, artillery control, or1
bombing pitots. Tbe old practice
of g'ving a cadet so much time in 1
the air under instruction and tnen 1
turning him loose for his first solo |
flight, in a "sink or swim" fashion, '
is being discontinued and what is 1
oelieved to be a more safe and sane j
system ig being adopted.

Under the new arrangement Clark

SWEDE CLAIMS THAT
GERMANY HAS MUCH LEFT
Stockholm, Sept. 14.—A Swedish
jou:nalist who has just completed a
Ions visit to Germany h8^ told,the
Associated Press representative®
that the Germans are far from
star ration or exhaustion. He re"
porta that foodstuff^ aTQ somewhat
scarce in northern Germany, but
that there is enough for the peo*
plf. so that they will be able to
carry on all activities as usual, and.
to thr south conditions are much
better.
In Austria, he believes, the new
harvest has brought immediate and
satisfactory relief, and that the
end of their endurance is almost aa
far removed ag that of the German*.
