TO REFINE WHITE SUGAR IN CUBA 



Mr. H. E. Lacaze, a sugar expert, is quoted 

 as advocating that Cuban Centrals employ the 

 process of refining white sugar as in use in 

 Mauritius and Australia. He says that at a 

 cost of from $1,500 to $5,000 any refinery can 

 add the necessary apparatus for the elabora- 

 tion of white sugar, the actual cost for every 

 sack of 325 poiunds only amounting to 19 

 cents. 



At present no white sugar is manufactured 

 in Cuba, as it is shipped to the United States 

 and then reshipped in its complete state back 

 to Cuba. 



DOCTORS FOR SUGAR CENTRALS 



The Director of Sanitary Affairs of Cuba 

 has issued a circular whereby in the future it 

 will be required that every sugar central in 

 Cuba have a properly qualified physician in 

 attendance. At present the Cuban law re- 

 quires any employer of labor to notify the 

 nearest hospital in case any employe should 

 be ill or injured. The new rule promulgated 

 will be very much to the benefit of the workers 

 employed in the sugar centrals. 



MATANZAS 



The largest cargo of sugar carried away 

 from the port of Matanzas by any one ship 

 in its history was accomplished this season. 

 The record holder is the S.S. "Newton" which 

 took 49,700 bags of sugar from this port 

 loaded at Dubrocq wharf. 



SUGAR BAGS 



It is claimed that a new sugar bag can be 

 manufactured in Barcelona, Spain, to be 

 used in place of the present jute bag. The 

 new bag is made of a special paper with a 

 cloth lining. 



CAPE VERDE ISLANDS 



Owing to the European war it is thought 

 that Cuban sugar could be marketed in the 

 Cape Verde Islands, whose supply from Ger- 

 many is no longer to be olitained.
