HOLD SUGAR HERE,
HOOVER REQUEST
Urges Philadelphia Refin
eries to Put, Check on
Exports
WAITING CUBAN CROP
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.
The sugar refiners of America have
been called to Washington for a confer
ence with the food administration Sep
tember 5. An attempt will be made to
reach an agreement on a sugar price,
without an arbitrary price being fixed
by the food administration.
Deflntto and Immpfllntn steps to conservo
the nug-nr supply In Philadelphia wore takpn
today when nil of the big rnMnorlca nnrt
houses dealing In sugar hero received n
loiter from George M. Kolph, Herbert
Hoover's assistant In tho food admlnlstrn.
tlon, In charge of tho sugar situation.
Under normal conditions tho exportation
of sugar from this port In enormous. Mr.
Rolph requests all dealers patriotically to
refrain from letting any sugar Get out of
this country until tho big sugar crop ar
rives from Cuba. This Is due sometime In
October. It Is believed the export trade
trill not be resumed until December.
The letter rends !
Ton will oblige tho Food Administra
tion It yu w'" decllno to necept nnv
more orders for export sugnr until after
the new Cuban crop begins to arrive.
Our reason for making this request Is
that all the sugar now held hv you nnd
that obtainable from Cuba would hardly
be sultlclent to sen this eountrv through
Until tho new big crop begins to arrive
on the market about the middle df Octo
ber. Your compliance with this request will
be much appreciated.
The refiners will comply with the request.
"Mr. Hoowr has been accused of par
tiality toward r.Mr allies," one sugar man
aid In commenting on the request, "It has
been said that his Idea Is that we In the
United States should get along with what
Is left after the Allies have been provided
for. This letter shows bow wrong that
accusation Is. It shows definitely that the
interest of the United States Is his first
consideration. I feel certain that the
majority of sugar dealers will lool; upon
the request as a command."

- "If our women wero economically In

they had their fnmlllcs to support."
"That would depend entirely on what
you mean by economic Independence,"
Pick Owen remarked. "In my reading
of tho subject I havo gathered that tho
demand for economic independence for
women is mado chiefly for tho benefit of
wives. It Has been suggested that thoy
recejvo wages. The wage-payer, of
course; would bo tho husband. Now, doc

their Income ceased, how could they con
tinue to pay wages to their wives?"

ARMY-NAVY GAME MAY
BE STAGED AT OLD PENN
University Has Standing Invita

to Favor Contest
Hope that tho Army and Navy football
amo may bo played In Philadelphia this
eason waB revived today by the announce
ment of Secretary of the Navy Daniels that
he favors a clash on tho gridiron between
the middles and cadets this fall. Secretary
of "War Baker had previously ruled against
the army competing In Intercollegiate foot
ball on account of tho war.
"The teams havo a standing Invitation
by the Army and Navy Commltteo of the
University of Pennsylvania to use Frank
lin Field," said George 15. Nltzscho, recorder
of the University, today. "I see no reason
why the game should not bo played this
season, and I sincerely hope that they will
select Franklin Field for tho scrimmage.
Tho only reason tho game has not been
played here for several years Is lack of
room. The teams said they required a field
that could accommodate 40,000, while the
seating capacity of Franklin Field Is only
2,000."
Major Maylln J . Pickering, graduate
manager of University of Pennsylvania
athletics, said the University would be glad
to have tho Army and Navy boys here as
Its guests, and hoped that If the game Is
played the teams would accept the standing
Invitation and use Franklin Field.
It was Indicated In Army and Navy
circles today that a game might bo played
for the benefit of the lied Cross or an
army relief fund and that West Point
would bo permitted to engage in football
practlco for a navy gamo at least.

of Dorothy comlnff from tho opposite di
rection. As they walked up to tho houso
sho was beaming upon him with ndmlra
tlon for his flno figure written over her
features. A uniform nnd a few setting
up exercises make a great difference In
tho looks of a man, as wo have discovered
recently.
"You are looking well, Mr. Ames," sho
was saying. "Tho soldier clothes nro
most becoming. I didn't know you could
look so well."
"I am glad you llko them, Doro
Miss Owen," ho confessed with evident
pleasure.
"You may call me Dorothy If you want
to," sho conceded as sho let him holp
her up tho steps. Sho was blushing
rosily through her tan when wo greeted
her. Sho had Just returned fiom the
mountains.
"I see that Dorothy approves of you
at last, Cabot," said his uncle.
"Do you, Dorothy?" Ames asked
quickly.
"Wo wero talking about wages for
wives, Doiothy," said her brother, com
ing to her relief. "Doctor McFnbro is
Inclined to believe that they should bo
paid. You aro a woman. "What Is your
opinion?"
"Wages!" sho exclaimed. "It seems to
mo that if you bhould 'put tho relations
of it husband and a wlfo on a financial
basis It would take all tho beauty out
of them."
"Good for you!" This from Ames.
"I havo Just been readlntr a book," said
I, "In which It Is suggested, not that
wages be paid to wives, but that tho
State pay them for hearing children and
make an nllowanco for each child. Tho
flguro mentioned Is $300 a year to bo
paid presumably until the child Is old
enough to work."
"Wheio would that money come
from?" asked Owen. "From 'tho State'?"
"I wonder If the author knows what
'the State' Is," Owen went on. "I do
not suppose ho or sho has over thought
that the State Is only you and I multi
plied by a few millions. Let's see how
the plan would work out."
Ho figured a minute or two on tho
margin of his newspaper.
"About 45,000 babies aro born every
year In Philadelphia," he said. "At $300
apiece this would take $13,500,000, and
as the babies would have to recelvo tho
subvention till they wore fifteen years
old no child can work under fifteen
the annual charge to the city would
ultimately bo $202,500,000. Somo of the
babies would die. Lot us suppose that
the annual charge was $165,000,000. This
Is ten times tho amount raised by tax
ation at present for city purposes, ex
clusive of education. It would increase
tho tax rate from $1 on every $100 of
valuation to $11. It would increase tho
taxes for city purposes on a $4000 house
from $40 a year to $440.' It would more
than double tho rent of every house and
ipartment "
"Yes," Interrupted Doctor MoFabro,
"but it would bo paid back to tho fam
ilies with young children."
"I know," admitted Owen, "but when
a young man finds it difficult to support
a wife with rents at the present rate
how could he get through the first year
If they wero doubled? And if he lived
in a $4000 house the sum paid for the first
baby would leave him $100 worse oft than
under the present plan. I do not know
who proposes it, but the plan would not
work. Until - we have complete state
socialism it is economically impossible."
"But it is simply an extension of the
systems of 'mothers' pensions," said Doc
tor McFabre.
"It 1b more than that," said I, "for
'mothers' pensions' are merely a form
of outdoor relief for dependent children

of nil children, regardless of tho economic
status of tho parents, its purposo being
to encourngo child bearing nnd tho ele
ction of healthy citizens."
"What economist l responslblo for the
suggestion?" Owen wanted to know.
"Kathleen Norris," said I. "I do not
think she would call herself nn economist.
She is n novelist who would perhaps bo
willing to call herself a sociologist, for
sho has written two or three sociological
novels. Ono deals with the dlvorco ques
tion, another with tho servant problem
and a third with tho Importanco of Hv
ing within one's Income. Her latest
novel, 'Martle, tho Uncomiuercd,' in
which sho pioposes endowment of
motherhood, is a study in tho question
of self-support for girls. She deals with
a family of three sisters, one of whom
had been Jilted nnd was becoming an
old maid. Tho two younger gills had
a terror of tplnsterhood. Their family
did nothing to train them for self-support
and also did nothing to make them
socially pleasing to tho young men In
the town. Ono of tho sisters married
a sort of a laborer because sho would
rather havo him for n. husband than
remain unmarried. Her babies sho had
four of them are endowed by an old
physician, a friend of the family who
wishes to mako nn experiment In sociol
ogy. Tho husband himself finally studies
medicine nnd rises In tho world. Tho
other sister, Martle, after a love affair
that came to naught, had a quarrel with
her father and inn away to earn her own
living as a mine maid, but Instead mar
ried a cheap actor. The marrlnco was
not n success and after a time tho hus
band dies. The novel leaves Martle as
a sub-editor' of a woman's magazine In
New York. Sho had fled thero from hoi
California homo because just on tho eve
of her marriage to tho richest man in
town a New York man who loved her
had come to see her and she had dis
covered that sho loved him. Thero could
be no marriage, however, as ho was di
vorced and sho was a Catholic."
"It must be a pretty dull story with
so much economics In It," said Ames.
"But It isn't dull. Dorothy would llko
it and so would Doctor McFabre. Mrs.
Norris has the story-telling gift and sho
has achieved tho art of creating the Illu
sion of reality so that you get tho Im
pression that she Is describing actual per
sons nnd events that happened while sho
was looking on. Characters llko hers
can be found in every American com
munity. And families In which the girls
aro allowed to grow up to drift into mar
riage, If fortunate, and to remain old
maids if nn cllglblo man falls to appear,
aro common. Everyono knows a Martle
who faces llfo with couiago after having
made a failure. Many widowed Martles
are courageously supporting their chil
dren nnd doing their best to recover
from tho effects of tho wreck from which
they might havo been saved by their
parents. Tho purpose of Mrs. Norris Is
to provent such wrecks if possible. Her
remedy is economic."
"She doesn't go deeply enough," said
Owon. "Social wrecks of this kind aro
duo to spiritual rather than to economic
causes."
"Yes, I think that Is true aa a general
proposition," said I. "But after all, It
tho economic problem wero solved It
would bo easier for tho spiritual forces
to work."

An Unidentified Dorsey
George A. Dorsey, described by his pub
lishers as "an American scientist and Jour
nalist who has traveled widely In Europe,
Asia and Africa," has written a novel.
Thero is a George Amos Dorsey, of Chi
cago, whom this description fits. He Is a
man of science, who conducted nn anthro
pological expedition to South America for
the Chicago exposition. He has traveled
in China, Japan, India and Australia. He
has studied the Immigration problem In
Italy, Austria, Hungary, Itumanla, Bulgaria
and Serbia for the Chicago Tribune. He
has been professor of anthropology in the
University of Chicago and curator of an
thropollgal musoums. Ho was born In 1868
and is, therefore, forty-nine years old j but
when the publishers are asked whether the
Dorsoy, of Chicago, Is the Dorsey who has
written a first novel they are silent. If
tho two Dorseys are Idontlcal an Interesting
parallel could be drawn between the Amer
ican who has made an excursion Into fiction
on the verge of fifty and William DeMor
gan, who achieved fame as a novelist when
he was fifteen years older, Dorsey's novel,
"Young Low," Is a literary aechteveratnt of
no mean order. The. early part of It oon
talns a picture of rural life In Central Ohio
in the seventies and eighties ot the last cen
tury which is remarkable for Its realism.
The Chicago Dorsey lived In that part of
Ohio and was graduated from Denlson Uni
versity. The Novelist Dorsey describes a
college whleh those familiar with Denlson
will recognize. The novel is full of local
color with which the Chicago Dorsey Is
familiar. Whoever wrote the bopk, it is a

Kathleen Norris might havo written n
very different book from "Martle, the Un
conquered," noticed clscwhero on this page,
ft sho had first read Mrs. Walter M. Galll
chati's discussion of tho place of woman In
tho social economy, published under tho title
of ".Motherhood."
Mrs. Gnlllchan's book, In splto of many
faults, is a valuablo contribution to tho dis
cussion of tho woman question for tho rea
son that sho recognizes facts and attempts
to adjust her theories to them.
For example, she says that what Is para
mount In woman Is secondary In man nnd
that by using her subordinate qualities, ns
sho must do In competition with man, "she
Is up ug.ilnst his domlnnnt qualities and
will bo beaten by him." If, however, she
continues, woman develops her dominant
qualities she cannot fail to occupy a position
of power. "We cannot escape from nature,"
she says, "and no matter how seemingly
urgent It Is for women to train themselves
to act lllto men on account of prevailing
economic conditions. It Is always wrong at
the bottom to yield to those conditions; the
tesults will not fall to bring evil In the
futuie." She says further that If after tho
coming of peace the women who have been
doing men's work do not find It better to
retutn to their homes tho Individual homo
may disappear and be 'replaced by some
form of communal living. Such uii outcome
would bo a step backward nnd a sign of tho
failure of our civilization. There Is noth
ing moio Important for the good of society
at largo than monogamous marriage and
the preservation of tho home, whose primary
valuo "Is to Immerse, tho child In a pro
tective environment of Its own." The mo
tive of tho book Is found In one ot tho hen
tences of dedication to her son. It reads:
"I knew that tho redemption of woman
rests in the growing knuwledgo and con
sciousness of her responsibility to tho race."
Whllo defending monogamous marriage,
Mrs. Galllchnn urges a relaxation of the
divorce lawt so that unsuccessful mar
riages may be dissolved and Irregular sex
relations may be discouraged. Sho would
permit temporary unions between men nnd
women, preceded by a financial arrange
ment that would protect tho woman when
tho man grew weary of her, a plan that she
thinks would bo much better than the pres
ent practice. In other words, sho would
make legal much that Is now Illicit nnd she
believes that social morals would bo Im
proved by such an arrangement. Opinions
will differ on this point, but she argues her
case well. The value of the book, how
ever, lies In Its plea for the preservation of
the homo as a necessary social Institution.
