The allowance of two psands per person per month, to which we have boon limited, ie now increased to threo pounds per person per month. This increase was announced by the rwa AamininnHion 10 oecume euec tire November 1. The same proportionate increase ' pplies to public eating places. Two pounds to each 90 meals served has j been the allowance. The allowance As now three pounds to eac h?0 meals. This makes good the promise of the Food Administration to increase the household allowance of sugar at the earliest possible moment that the supply would justify it. and makes it possible for the householder to more freely use cereals, apple, cranberry and Crape fruit products and the use of fruits canned without sugar during the pest summer. In additon, it is announced at the name time that, instead of the neoes- j slty of buying sugar twice a month, a whole month's supply of sugar may i be purchased at one tfme, and retail dealers are notified to sell Bugar In such quantities. It Is announced simultaneously by the Food Administration that, the can. ning season having closed for this year, no m^re home canners* certificates will be issued, and no more sugar will be sold in 25 pounds lots Cdt canning and preserving.

With the Atnrriran Arniv in IV?.nee. ?Far up near the front, where one never sees a \v< man, a eliilil nor a male civilian, it is no uncommon ?' 'Sit to eoiue suddenly on a parly of y^itlis arrayed in hijrh hats, frock coats, chocked trousers and patted leather shoes. They are American soldiers, billeted In ruined French vilfnces. who have picked up these garments from amonrr the debris of the shell-shattered houses. Some of thorn even don wnmon'v clothing, picture hats, feather boas, silk blouses nfirl skirts. and I have oven seen them wearing blonde wigs which they raked up somewhere amid the wreckage of villas on the Marne. The boys go about various duties, cleaning horses, driving ammunition caissons, working about their billets and doing the thnusnnd-nnd-one other odd Jobs that fall to their lot. In their ludicrous makeup. Right on the Vesle some of the Americans picked up some "trick" clothes in gas-drenched Fismes nnd put them-on. They crossed the river nnd raided a German machine gun nest that had been annoying them during the day by spurting Indirect fire on them. They brought in a couple of prisoners who could not conceal their amazement from the German-speaking officer who questioned them that troops could masquerade In such attire In the midst of danger. Australian and Canadian troops have a penchnnt for "dolling up" In discarded civilian attire nlso, and the Anzacs negotiated a rnid near Villers Bretonnaux under the same circumstances In June. GIRL DEFIES BOCHE SHELLS Former Cincinnati Society Favorite Drives Ambulance Over Road Under Fire. Paris.?Miraculous escape from serious injury and probable death was experienced recently by Miss Evelyn Hooker, former society girl of Cincinnati, now a field worker for the American Fund for French Wounded. Miss Hooker, who was operating a canteen in the Chateau-Thierry sector, was forced to abandon her post when the Germans first .advanced. She walked several miles to the nenrest town where Americans were billeted. There she volunteered to drive an ambulance along a road swept with shells. Shells whistled and broke all about the road, but she was not Injured. A report of her exploit was made to the Paris headquarters of the organization by an army nfftcer, who heartily commended her for her bravery. Three other members of the organization ulso have been commended for their work In caring for refugees and soldiers while under shell fire. They are Miss Sarah Granger Farwell and her sister.

Describing the Hun's fighting ability Lieutenant Stephens says: "What a treacherous, cowardly lot they are," he said. "They'll blaze away with their machine guns and do their best to kill all the Americans on earth, but when we get to within a hundred or two yards of them, out they come with absolutely no weapons on their persons, their hands high In the air and calling for all they're worth: Komerad.

I went over the top with the Infantry with the exception of the first all through the drive until I was sent hack to the hospital, and therefore I know what I am talking about.
