POTATOES RAISED
 FOR VODKA AVERT
 FAMINE IN POLAND
Ban on Product of DistiIlerieS Leaves Food For the
 Famfshed Peasants.

London, April 14-FThe prohibit on of the use of vodka ip Russia saved the people of Poland from starvation by releasing for their edse the enor- nous potato crops planted for the disti1leries," in the opinion of Ernest P. Bicknell, who has just returned from Poland where he went on a. tour of investi gation for the Rockefeller F'oun dation War Relief committee.
 The greater part of the Russian po- tato crop was planted by the distill- CTS for making vodka, and when the ukase of the Russian government. put an end to this, it was predicted that the phenomenal potato output of this year would be 8 dead loss to the growers. The best potato land in Russia is in Poland and the crop was being gathered when von E1indenburg began his rush on Warsaw. In the course of which the country was laid waste for miles. Fortunately for the Poles, the ravages of war did little harm to the great stores of potatoes safely slowed away in underground caches. This store now. provides practically the staple food for the Poles, and those parts of Poland which raise no potatoes are being supplied by an effective system of dis tribution arrangedA by the Germans

On dead leaves and grasses scattered

breakfast before the worms h2Ge time

Mr.. Robin goes hopping around over
the grass like a boy in sack race with
his feet tied, stopping to inspect hole
so tiny that you'd never see it. He
shoots his bill down in the hole, gives
his head little twiSt-yes. he's found
a worm.
Then begins the tug of war. With

WORDS IN FETTERS.
R.any Expressions That Are Slaves to
the Tyranny of Custom.

Rany Expressions That Are Slaves TO
the Tyranny of Custom.
There is nc bondage more CALLING
than that Of custom, and it is ines
capable also. Words which by nature
have wide latitude Of real and meta
phorical meaning are fettered to SIM
gle significance by the custom Of using
them more commonly in one way than
in another.
When it was announced that
preacher had been sued for breach Of
promise every one at all interested in
the case Immediately assumed that he
had declined to marry woman whom
he had agreed to make his wife AS
he had wife already. there were the
elements Of scandal in the report.
But it seems that the minister is not
accused Of breaking his promise to
marry, but his promise to pay certain
sums Of money in business contract.
Breach Of promise" however, is
chained so securely to the post Of
6IuSle mS1uluS LudL II COuAOlCS Out
one idea in the popular mind.
"Elope" is another word that is not
free 1t means merely to run away,
but only people who run away to mar
ry surreptitiously are allowed to elope.
"Notoriety" is simply the state of being
known a notorious man. however, is
man of bad reputation. Suggestive
ness likewise means merely having
the ability to suggest, but it is used In
bad sense. And criticism" however
much it would like to describe friend
ly as we'll as hostile comment, finds
itself unable to convey any meaning
save that of faultfnding. The num-
Der Of such slaves might be multiplied
indefinitely to prove that words are
but symbols that mean what we agree
they shall mean and not what their
ancestry would justify US in suppos-
ing that they do mean.-PhiladelpEia
