FOOD QUESTION GROWS
PRESSING IN ENGLAND

London, March 24.--The food Ques-
ton is pressing daily with increasing
stringency on the British public and.
according to authoritative reports, a
few days will see new and drastic
steps on the part Of the food controller,
Lord Davenport, to meet the situation
and prevent exploitation Of the pub
licity trading.
The controller, announced in the
house Of lords today that although the
voluntary rates had brought about ex-
cellent results, it might be necessary
to resort to compulsory rationing which
would be a national calamity. He was
very DESTROYS Of avoiding this, owing
TO the tremendous machinery needed.
This machinery, however, was ready,
he declared, if required, and a great
reduction in bread and sugar was still
imperative. The controller also in
tended. he said, to introduce a strong
measure to prevent the boarding OF
food.

FRANKLIN STANDS
UNDER HARD TEST
At 1917 Miles Per Hour in
Slow Gear Test on Icy
Roads, Travels l35 Miles
Without Stopping Motor.
EQUAL TO AZ MILES
PER FOR 10 HOURS

Icy roads proved no handicap to the
first 1OO- mile low-gear run ever at
tempted in Iowa, when, on February
16, a Franklin touring car left Des
Moines on a trip to test the cooling
ability of the air-cooled engine. In
spite of the slipping and skidding. the
car averaged 1919 miles per hour. and
just for good measure, ran 1854 miles
on low gear without stopping the en-
CINE. Better than 13 miles per hour
stop, is a real test of an engines cool
ing ability. 1t is the equivalent of AZ
miles per hour on high gear for 10 con-
secutive hours. A careful examination
at the conclusion of the trip showed
not the slightest sign of overheating
or any other trouble.
This run recalls to mind the low
gear tests made by the Franklin Sep
TENDER %, 1914. At that time 116
cars participated, each going 100 miles
in low without stopping the engine.
These cars We're in the hands of Frank
lin dealers all over the country and
were under the observation of automo-
bile club and press representatives.
j. W. McCormmach of Pendleton,
Ore, took part in this run and after
ward decided to put the Franklin to
an even more severe test. So he re-
moved the high and intermediate gears
and cealel the transmits sion Then
on August /, 1915, he started with two
companions for San Francisco from
Walla Walla. Wash. The route led
through Pendleton, Ore. across the $50
miles of the Harvey desert, through
the Siskiyou mountains and Burney
pass and down the Sacramento valley:
SEQ miles on low gear without stopping
the engine. 1t took SO hours and 40
minutes to make the non stop run.

Department Of Agriculture
Figures Cattle Have Fallen
Off 100000.
VALUE is GREATER
Reduced Number Figures
More on Dollars and Cents
Owing to Advanced Price.

The meat supply of the United
States shows a startling decline in the
post decade. A compilation by the
National City bank of New York com d.
pairing the number of available food
animals in the United States on Jan
uary /, 1917, as shown by the recent
statement by the department OF aSri-
culture. with the number of January

mich cows. and of nearly 100000 III
the number of sheep in the PERIOD
of 1s07-19l7. Meantime the population
OF continental United States has in
creased 15,0OO,o00. Thus the supply
of cattle available for food has de-
creased 90 per cent and that Of sheep
10 per cent, while the consuming pop
ulation was increasing IS per cent.
Hogs are the only class Of food ami
mails showing an increase, the num-
Der of swine in the United States haV-
ing been on January !, 1917, about
100000 greater than in 1907, While
the decline in number of cattle is
10, 100000 and Of sheep 100000
This large decrease in the number
of food animals has not however. re-
duced the value of the entire group
on the contrary, the advance in prices
Of meats has greatly increased the
value of the reduced number. The de-
partment of agriculture figures, on
which these compilations are based
put the value of the +0,S49,ooO cattle,
other than mich COWS, on farms in
the United States on January l, 1917
at sl,4ea. So 900, while the value OF
the 51.566000 head in 1907 was but
sssl. 557. coo. The average value pei
head of mich cows was in 1907 $30,,'
and in 1917 1886. all other cattle in
1907 sl1.09 per head and in 1917
s25.ss: sheep in 1907 s3.S3 per heao
and in 1917 $7l4, and swine in 1901
$3.50 per head and in 1917 S11.73 pei
head. Thus cows, other cattle ant
sheep have doubled in price per head
in ten years, while swine show an in
crease of 80 per cent in value in tina
period.
These decreases of nearly 100000
in the number of cattle other than
cows and 5000, 900 in sheep have oc
Cured during a period in which tn

anticipated crash.
His thoughts, working In flashes of
lightning, suggested every possible
trick Of escape, and as rapidly rejected
each. There was nothing for it but
to play the part, to take the blow with
no more than culver when it came.
He had once seen man shot in Just
that way. Braced to such determine
ton, De Spain bent slowly downward,
and, with eyes staring into the water
for a reflection that might afford q
glimpse of his enemy, he began to
drink. Each mOuthful of water was a
struggle. The sense of impending death
had robbed even the life-giving drafts
of their tonic; each instant carried it's
acute sensation of being the last. At
length, his nerves weakened by hunger
and exposure, revOlted under the
strain. Suppose it should be, after all,
fantasy of his fever that pictured so
wildly an enemy behind. With an eff
fort that cost more mental torture than
he ever had known, he drew back on
his elbow from the pool, steadied HIM
self, turned his head to face his execu-
toner, and confronted Nan Morgan.

Nan rode home much more excited,
more bewildered than when she had

that this man of all other men should
profess to care for her. She had
shown anger when McAlpin dared
speak of it; at least, she thought she
had. And she still did not know how
sufficiently to resent the thought Of
such audacity on De SPANS part.
This was, to say the least, further
awkward complication for her feelings.
She already had enough to confuse
them.
