A story “to end all stories about sugar rationing,” is told by an American publication, the “Rockefeller Centre Magazine”:—There's a man in the RC’A building who lunches every day in one of the Centre restaurants. We sat down beside him the other day and saw him carefully pocket the one lump of sugar that came with his coffee. “You see,” he explained, “I’m taking it for a horse. It’s just a delivery horse, but I’ve become very much attached to him, and every _ day he looks for a lump of sugar. l ean understand sugar rationing, so I can go without it, but the horse wouldn’t? He’d think I was mad at him or something.”
