WHISPERED STORY OF RUTH
And Each Little Jewish Girl Was Re-
warded With Feast Cake for
Her Effort.

In the East side of New York as
in the East end of London, the Jewish
quarter of Paris or Judengasse of Der.
lin, thousands of Jewish mothers and
grandmOthers gathered the little
daughters of the family to them one
night recently. Into tiny ears was
whispered the story of Ruth, the faith
full. In each kitchen stood a new
broom, and tallow candles burned
brightly on tables spread with meats,
wines and cakes.
Little daughter" each mother whis-
pered, do you know what Ruth said
to NaOmiP
Yes" each little girl replied eager
ly. She had rehearsed the great epic
for weeks. Ruth said 'Entreat me
not to leave thee, or to return from
following after thee. For whittier thou
goest, will go; and where thou lodg-
est, will lodge; thy people shall be
my people, and thy god my God"
And, beaming her pride, each moth
er then said:
Good! Here is cake for you!"
Thus the feast of Shabuoth was
ushered in. The broom was Just as
much a part of the ceremony as the
reward Of a cake. With it one could
sweep out the spirits and demons. the
scheidim and masikim, which ghetto
traditions of the medieval ages insist
are present during Omer, the time be-
tween Passover and Shabuoth.-New

URGES ECONOMY
IN USE OF FOOD.
ALL NATIONS CONFRONTED WITH
CROP SHORTAGE, SAYS ROME
INSTITUTE OF AGRICULTURE.
orIv on Account of Fact That Last
Years Harvests were Abundant
That There is Available Sufficient
Wheat to Last Until July.

Rome-Rigid economy throughout
the world in the consumption of food,
IN view of the deficient crops and the
extraordinary requirements of the
Enropean armies, is urged by the In
ternational Institute OF Agriculture,
which has made the most extensive
report It has issued since the war be-
gan. The institute says all nations are
confronted with a grave situation.
II is estimated that at least $780,
100000 bushels of wheat will be con
sumed in the year ending July 81,
1917. and that at the end of this period
the worlds surplus supplies of wheat
win have decreased to 46,00O,0 900 bu-
shells. The report says it is only on
account of the fact that last years
harvests were abundant, leaving bal
ance of 35O,OOO,O 900 bushels, that there
is available sufficient wheat for the
year ending with next July.
The worlds surplus of five cereals
wheat, rye, barley, oats and corn-is
placed at 533,O00,O00 bushels. This in
cludes the unexplorabIe Russian stocks
and also the stock of Roumania and
Bulgaria. The surplus of oats is placed
at 166,OOO,OOO bushels. A general
scarcity of fodder is expected.
The total Russian stocks of wheat
now stored which, if military condi-
tons permitted would be available for
export at the next harvest, are esti-
mated at 3OO,OOO,OOO bushels.
