All is in readiness for the registration of millions of sugar users in the Chicago area who will visit their public elementary schools during the next four days to qualify for the ration books without which the purchase of sugar in its various forms is henceforth prohibited. This was announced by Michael F. Mulcahy, state rationing administrator for the Chicago area. More than 15,000 elementary teachers and volunteer workers will aid in the huge task, which will start tomorrow morning and end late Thursday, Mulcahy said.

The schools will be open for registration from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m. each day.

One Can Represent Family. One person may register for his or her entire family, the rationing authorities have ruled. Thus it will not be necessary for each individual sugar user to visit the local registration point. The books to be issued on the basis of this week's registration may later be used in the rationing of other commodities besides sugar. The commercial users of sugar were similarly registered in the high schools last Tuesday.

The registrants included 21,025 retailers, wholesalers, industries, and institutions. They are already receiving sugar purchase certificates. In Chicago, the applicants for this week's registration will be registered in public elementary schools according to ward boundaries. In the suburbs the schools are divided according to ration board districts, which follow township boundaries.

Lilacs from the Lyman homestead in Downers Grove come from bushes that are nearly 100 years old. The main stems are as thick as the trunks of small trees and the clumps shade spacious places in the yard.

Each year of the Share Your Lilacs campaign their blooms have added to the offerings of the Chicago Plant, Flower and Fruit guild, which co operates with The Tribune in mak ing it possible tor shut-ins to enjoy the springtime beauty and fragrance. There are many old lilac bushes In Du Page county. Early settlers sought to give their new homes some thing of the atmosphere of the neighborhood they had left In the east. There are instances where the house itself has vanished but the sturdy lilacs continue to bloom year after year beside what was once a doorstep or the path to a roadside gate. The Lyman homestead at 900 Ogden avenue is said to be the only one In Du Page county where the family name is the same as that when the place was settled a century ago.

Settled In 1839. To the acres beside Ogden avenue, then the Old Plank road, the Rev. Orange Lyman came In 1839. As a home missionary, he had migrated west from Ohio with the shift of settlements. He died in 1851.

Henry Martin Lyman, a son, died in 1894. Walter Lyman, a grandson. was born 'on the place in 1854 and died there in 1926. Mrs. Walter Ly man has resided at the home 19 years.

She said the old lilac bushes were planted by Ihe wife of the Rev. Orange Lyman. They are of the old- fashioned purple variety. When Gen. John A.

Logan desig nated May 30. 1868 for the purpose of strewing with flowers the graves of comrades who died In defense of their country during the Civil war, the Lyman lilac bushes responded, They had been a part of the setting when Capt. Walter Blanchard had drilled his company on Maple avenue. Their blooms were carried on Memorial day by members of Walter Blanchard post and, as the years passed, for departed members. Bloom Year Alter Year.

Of the 59 men who enlisted from Du Page county for the Spanish-American war in 1898, 12 were from Downers Grove. History as It was being unfolded in the village dove- tailed with history of the nation. The lilacs bloomed when men went away and after men came back. Their message remained steadfast In a world of change. 'Time came when Alexander Brad the University of Chicago, where entertained by the Midway Service of the area and university students.
