Rome - All the cabinet ministers
who resigned their portfolios Monday
met Tuesday in the presence of King
Victor Emmanuel, with whom they
discussed the situation for about two
hours.
Signor Rubin, minister of the treas
ury, gave a lengthy explanation of his
reasons for resigning. He said the
budget showed deficit of 81, 900, 600
before the war began. That deficit
might easily have been overcome by
an increase in revenues and limiting
expenses, the augmentation of the rev.
enues including the slight raise in tax
alton. which already had been APP
proved by parliament, and from which
1t was expected to realize SIS, 900, 900
annually. The war, however. changed
the whole situation, Signor Rubini
said. and the military budgets alone
would require $3.50. 600, 900.
Owing to the European crisis. Sig
nor Ruhini continued, the revenues,
instead of increasing. had diminished
by about 500. 900, 600. instead of
SIG, 900, 900. He added that he recog-
nized the necessity for urgent military
expenses but wished to counterbalance
them with new taxation.
A majority of the ministers pre-
ferred to postpone the taxation until
after the war. but Signor Rubini said
such action might be considered I'M
constitutional.

Three-Pronged Fork Regular Thing to

Proper Ceremony.

Laymen may hesitate to say how far
Leviticus has been adopted into the
law of Scotland. But there are some
peculiarities which suggest that 1t has
probably been adopted into Scottish
practise. Take the prejudice of the
Scot against eating cells, and also she'll
fish. There is no more obvious reason
why an eel should look more like that
abhorred snake to Scotchman than
to anybody else. and, taking the objec-
ton to shellfish into account, one can
not help thinking of the rule In Le-
viticus that Whatsoever hath fins and
scales in the waters, in the seas, and
In the rivers. them shall We eat"
whlle all that move in the waters with
out fms and scales shall be an abom-
nation.
Col. Newman Davis has described
the ideal conditions OF snail-eating.

that when he said the word Katherine
strickland would be ready to cast her
lot with his.
From the smoking room OF Senator
stricklands big house came the strl-
dent sound OF mems voices, raised IN
excitement, and, 1t would seem, ac-
claim. Now and again the senator's
smooth, oratorical voice would SOUND
and then SHADES slightly deprecatory,
vet firm and pleased. Then would
follow the patter OF applause, laughter
and the sudden dropping OF voices that
signified earnest converse.
To Katherine Strickland, sitting In

every sound had its meaning. Her
eyes sparkled with keen interest In
her cheeks glowed the deep rose OF
excitement and exultation. In that other
room she knew they were making his

she admired and who had aroused her
interest as no other man had ever
done.
Nothing could stand In that mans

Fannie Merritt was decided blonde.
Her decision had been made more
than ten years before. 1t was q de-

abided by, and the woman had been
living up to 1t ever since. Her gown
was the last word of sartorial elegance
and style. Daringly decollette it chung

emphasis. and trailed round her ex-
quisitely dressed feet. Her hair did
credit to the hairdresser's long and pa-
tent efforts, and long, bizarre diamond
pendants flashed and sparkled from
her ears. If ever a woman had become
slave to her own personal pleasure
and dress, that woman was Fannie
Merritt. Too self-centered and selfish
ever to crave motherhood, she lavished
kind of affection on watery-eyed

lap-dog gratitude.

mense resources for the relief of non
combatAnts In the countries afflicted
BY war, and stands ready to give mil
lions Of dollars, IL necessary, for the
purpose. This was announced by John
y. Rockefeller, IT,, president Of the
foundation.
In pursuance of this philanthropy,
the foundation will send commission

starving BeIgians.
This action is TAKEN" Mr.. Rookie.
Teller says, "as natural step in full
