William Shipley, veteran lock lender on the C. and O canal, who a few days ago receivid word that an uncle, Thomas McCoy, had died in California leaving him a larg.; fortune, took his corn cob pipe from between his teeth, spat into the fire and wondered aloud to his wife, "Urilly, what in hell '11. 1 do with all that money?" The Shipleys live in a tumble down four-room frame house that leans precariously against a rocky bluff overlooking thecanal and a biNjad stretch of the Potomac. Mrs. Shipley, who hastened upstairs to put on a clean calico dress and smooth back the straggly wisps of gray hair to have her picture "took " says she wants to give money to the poor, buy a house at Halway a tiny village nearby because life is so lonesome along the canal, and put the rest in the bank. "I'm great' on banks," smiled the little old lady, showing four broken yellow teeth. Shipley isn't even calculating on buying an automobile. One would bi a "bother" he says.

Y Church Has Failed to Remake Human Nature, Says Chicago Pastor Dr. Curtis W. Reese of Chicago, speaking at the morning services of the First Unitarian church" yester day, declared that human nature can he changed and is being changed, that the cnurcn nas lanea in us ei forts to, remake human nature and that it must, in the future, dedicate itself to the reorganization of,human nature if it would be of the service to mankind that it should. "Original human nature was a bundle of unorganized impulses, neither good nor bad," said Dr. Reese. "As human nature has prog ressed these impulses have become less elementary. For example, the human impulse to flee from danger has changed to an impulse to es cape by the most logical method. ' "The violation of personality is the greatest crime to human nature. The individual is sacred.- That great human brotherhoodsocie.ty is also racred. . , "The greatest agent in the demo cratization of human' nature is the will of the man, not coercion. Edu cation, npt repression, is the road t progress. Heredity counts the least; conscious btfilding counts the most. "In remaking human nature the church has' failed to understand the effect of environment. Religion has called for the absolute surrender of wilL '-The will of man 'should 'nt be surrendered either to God or man. It should be directed into the safe channels of the church, not broken."

"an office of the institution of ministers into parishes" was ob served yesterday morning in All Saints church,where the Rt Rev. Erist Vincent Shayler, bishop of the diocese of Nebraska, officiated and" presented to Rev. Thomas Cas ady, the new rector, the keys of the church. Referring to the sunshine of the morning, the first real spring Sun day for six weeks, the bishop said it was heaven-blessed, and in the reading of the formal installation service by bishop and communicants the following is an excerpt: "And as a canonically instituted priest into the office of rector of All Saints parish you are faithfully to feed that 'porton of the" flock- of Christ which is now entrusted to you: not as a man-pleasure, but as continually bearing in mind that you arte accountable to us here and to the Chief Bishop and Sovereign Judge of all, hereafter." Casady Makes Response. In response to the presentation of the keys the new rector said: "I, Tho.nas Casady, receive these keys of the House of God at your hands, Lie flip rlirlorc rt rti xr Jn ef if t.tr, o m 1 .... ... 1' 1 c 'J w 1 ,,1J iu iiimi, anvi. promise to-be the faithful shepherd over ypu. in the name of the Father, and jOthe Son, and of the Holy Ghost." ,Many heard the sermon which was impressive.

"The work that Rector Mackay did lives after him," the o biehop said. "It was a joy for him to bring religion to the religionless. He was a humble and persistent follower of Jesus Christ, I have no doubt but that his spirit is with us here today. The spirit transcends the things of the flesh." "The speaker referred to the service of institution as like unto a wedding service, the church 'and the rector being an entity, bound together for better or for worse. He urged that the members of AH Saints put into practice the best principles of Chris tian1 life. v "It is not enough for a man to be good; he must be good for some thing, and the same may be said of a parish," the bishop .continued. Loyalty Is Urged. "The Rev. Thomas Casady is a man's man and a woman loves a man's man more than she does a woman's man." f , He urged that All Saints should work for better organization; that the members realize that it is their duty to be in their seats on Sun ,day with the same regularity that they expect of their rector. He urged that the members be slow to listen to words of criticism which may be uttered against the new rector, seating that no two men are endowed with the. same talents. "As a man thinketli so die is. if you think loyalty toward your rec tor, you will be loyal," he added. Addressing his' words with par ticular directness to the new rector, the bishop asserteTthat he is the watchman on the wall to guard against the devastating influences which are abroad in the world. ADOUT SUGAR Says Administration ' Could Have Purchased the Entire Cuban Crop for 6 1-2 Cents Per Pound Last Fall. During 1918 'agricultural imple ment factories in Canada paid out $10,282,539 in wages. These figures cover the operations of 84 plants. FOREIGN BUYERS BICK AGAINST U. S. MERCHANTS Urges Restrictions Again Be Placed on andy and Soft Drink Manufacturers Until Shortage Is Relieved. Washingotn, May 9. Herbert Hcover, former food administrator, in a telegram to Senator Capper of Kansas today, bluntly placed the blame for the present sugar short age and high prices upon the ad ministration. If the administration had adopted the sugar equalization board s recommendation last Sep tember it could haW1 bought raw Cuban sugar for b'A cents a pound and furnished the finished product to the American consumer in abund ant amounts at 12 cents a pound, he declared. Mr. Hoover said the situation could not be remedied by Attorney Oeneral .Palmer s threats- to punish sugar profiteers. The sugar specu lation is ' world-wide and requires something more than a raid on American profiteering, he said. The administration should open negotiations with other nations with a view to obtainingn agree ment to put an end to America and Europe bidding against each other for the sugar supply. Rationing of sugar supplies to nonessential consumers, such as manufacturers of candy and soft drinks. Due To Bad Business. "The present sugaf" position is (ue simply to bad business admin istration, said Mr. Hoover. 'VLast September the "administration could have 'bought the Cuban sugar crop at 6yZ cents per pound for raw su gar. " This would have given 12-cent sugar to our consumers and, to gether with our domestic produc tion, would have furnished supplies in excess of our demands. As the result of failure to act in this mat ter, we (re participating in the world-shortage of sugar due to de creased European production, and we are subject to unparalleled spec ulation and profiteering. The use of sugar is an absolute essential in our households and the present sit uation discriminates terribly against the poor. The increase in price is imposing an additional tax on our people i of about $50 per family per annum, since the 8,000,000,000 pounds of sugar we consume an nually, at the present price, will cost consumers over a, billion dollars more than last year. Bid( Against Europe. "As at least one-half of our sugar must Come from foreign sources, our merchants are bidding against European governments for its pur chase. The profiteering is interna tional. The situation is as much disliked by the vast majority of our manutacturers and distributors as by the public, for they do not like even to be accused of profiteering. "This situation cannot be reme died by the attorney general's con ception that forces of this charac ter can be handled by putting a few people in jail. Something should be done to remedy .matters if our gov ernment, even now, entered into ne gotiations with the large' European governments to stop, bidding against eachther and so -secure our fair share of the available supplies. Aside from inflation of price, an un due, jhare will -otherwise go to Europe, because their purchases are still being carried on unde'r the di rection of their governments and our merchants have not 'the re sources to compete with sjch or ganization for forwarding supplies and thu3" our fair share is seriously jeopardized. It may be too late- to accomplish this. Reduce Consumption "The second thing that could be done to break this gigantic bubble of speculation would be to reduce con sumption through immediate ration ing of 'the nonessential consumers. Over one-third of our sugar is used by. the candy, sweet drinks and other manufacturers of nonessentials. Daring the war these trades patriot ically co-operated in public interest in such reduction and themselves found substitutes of other sweeten ing materials for the maintenance of their trade. They would no doubt co-operate -again. "It is no use crying over spilt milk, but simply to show that these measures are reasonable, I need only to recount that they were carried out for two ytars, by the food ad ministration -and the equalization board, of which I was chairmdff un til last July. "rThe impending situa tion was anticipated by the board and myselflast July. The continua tion of control and insurance of our supplies through the purchase of the Cuban crop, as in the two previous years, was recommended. When this proposal failed, the board recommended the alternative and less efficient method outlined above. If it were put in action even now, it would frighten speculators out of this market and, quickly moderate" the pr' I ! " I I His Bonus "(CopyUght, 1920; by The Chicago Tribune) (: C.

The general assembly of Louisiana which opens tomorrow will have the op portunity to write history. Three questions of paramount interest will be placed before it. First WillXouisiana become the 36th necessary state to ratify the na tional woman suffrage amendment? ' becond Will horse racing be con tinued in Louisiana, and if so, how? Third Will the S3.UOO.000 needed by the state treasury be secured through a severance tax on national resources or by direct taxation of the citizens of the state. ' - The suffrage fight promises to be keen. Jioth sides are well organized and both claim victory. The gov ernor, John M. Parker, is for rati fication end the following he has se cured during the rast two years is admittedly large. But in Louisiana, states rights are not easily forgotten and that principle will rally many staunch supporters. Led by the Young Men's Business league of New Orleans, dozens of organizations throughout , the state have adopted resolutions demanding either that there be a state racing commission, a short season and pari mutuel betting machines or that racing be abolished by state legisla tion. The objections seem to . be aised principally against ooeration of handbooks in the cities and the so-called "oralites" at the tracks at Jefferson and the Fair grounds, New Urleans. , The severance tax legislation is not expected ;to cause much opposi tion. It puts a 2 per cent tax "on every industry drawing from the natural resources of the state, oil, gas, lumber,, moss, salt,' sulphur, gravel, rosin,, turpentine and a few other commodities. Altogether it is estimated the taxes would total close to the much needed $3,000,000. United States District x Attorney Ready for Jack Dempsey Trial San Eancisco, May 9.
