gray-haired man was opposite him.
They were leisurely talking and smok-

The blood rushed to Helen's face.
That he should let her wait for over
half an hour in public corridor while
he lounged here!
Aquiver with indignation, she stood
in the doorway, expecting him to
turn, but his cigar finished, he drew
out another and reached for the match
safe.
Blindly she rushed back through
the corridor. Smarting under this
humiliating neglect, her mind leaped
to action.
Her cheeks ablaze, size made for the
ladies' waiting room. With tense
ly held pen she scrawled:

Again she was at the door Of the
cafe. Reckoning a passing page, she
thrust the note In his hand with an
agitated:
"Give this to the gentleman in the
gray suit at the second tablet"
Pausing only long enough to see the
boy approach Warren, she darted
across the lobby. through the revolv-
ing doors and down the street to the
subway.
Her thoughts still chaotic, she
reached their darkened apartment.
Without even turning on the lights,
she CROPPED her way to her room and
threw herself on the couch in a par
oxysm of angry tears.
That he should have treated her
with so little consideration or respect |
With all his brusque neglect he had
always been punctilious about their APP
pointed meetings. And now for him
to spend a deliberate half-hour in the
mems cafe while she stood waiting in
the public corridor!
The thrilling bell sent her stumbling
through the dark. There was some
mistake! He was phoning to explain.
Then her leaping hope dropped sick
eningly as central drawled: Excuse
1t, please"
Turning on the lights, she sank on
the window seat. Why did he not
phone? He knew she would be home
by this time. Was he coming for her?
Her anxious gaze strained down. the
dark street.
Twelve minutes to eight! Ten-five
1t was the library clock she was
watching now.
The stimulus of her flaming indig-
nation slowly ebbed before the sick
consciousness that he intended neither
to telephone nor to come for her.
The long, lonely, wretched evening
lay before her. This was his punish
ment for her note! What if he had
had some very good excuse?, But she
could conceive of none that was plaus-

The physical depression resulting
from no dinner added to her mental
distress. She forced herself out to the
icebox. There was cold meat and
some leftover asparagus, but, too
heartsick to eat, she gulped down Il
glass of milk.
Where was he dining? She pictured
him lingering over carefully ordered
dinner with leisurely Indifference.
Again her resentment f1ared up, but
only to die down before the realization
of his ability to make her suffer.

his body broken for us; we are also
by faith to look forward to his blessed
appearing. 1t is the latter fact that
is brought to our minds by the phrase
"till he come" BY 1t, we are led to
understand that as our Lord once
came and was here upon this earth,
so he is to come second time.
His own Word gives us the promise
of his return. Speaking to his dis
ciples about his coming departure he
said: "And if go and prepare place
for you, I will come again, and receive
you unto myself; that where / am,
there We may be Also" (Jno. IA :3.) By
this he meant his own personal return
and not the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Whenever our Lord spoke about the
coming of the Holy Spirit, he always
referred to it in such way that there
could be no confusing Of that event
with his own coming. And we know
that long after the advent Of the Holy
Spirit, John the evangelist on the is
land Of Patmos heard again from our
Lord the promise of his return. The
word Of the Lord to him was surely.
I come quickly" and the heart of the
apostle responded "Amen. Even so
come Lord Jesus" Grew. % :20).

steeling the people at home to sac

close at hand striving to wrest Rus
sia's newly found freedom from her
people, was being invoked all over
the country to re-awaken the fires Of
patriotism and back up the demand
for vigorous pushing Of the war.
Failure to advance against the
Germans means loosing the fruits of
our revolution" declared Assistant
Minister of War Yakubovitz in
speech today to the peasants con-
gress which was typical of scores of
others made by government officials
in various cities today.
Germany has removed many of
her troops and her guns to the west
'front.' Yakubovitz continued. IF
she can possibly crush the allies
there, Germany will next turn to us.
Russia was never better supplied
with shells, than now. She is even
enabled to stop the manufacture OIL
shells in some factories and to sub
stitute therein the manufacture of
farm machinery. We have sufficient
guns and other necessities of war.
But the army suffers from lack of
food.

but more soldiers are required. You
must aid in stopping assertions"
Minister Of War kerensky is car

| WASHINGTON, May 2s.-Bread is
| the price Of international peace In
Europe. And "the size OF the loaf
will depend absolutely on what can
be done from the North American
continent according to Herbert G.
| Hoover, Americas new food admin
| istrator.
| The allies, in order to provide the
| minimum bread ration which they
are now giving their people, will re-
quire more than five hundred million
bushels OF wheat at the next harvest,
Hoover said today.
With this appeal before them, the
house and senate resumed debate on
the VorelLever food bill, providing a
general food survey in the country
and means of stimulating production.
with the lower classes in Europe,
bread is the fetish of food" Hoover
warned. And without the loaf
even assuming that you give them a
dietitic suff1ciency of something
without the loaf you could not pre-
serve public tranquility. Bread Is
the price Of peace"
In addition to the five hundred
million bushels OF wheat needed,
Hoover has informed congress. the
allies will also require somewhere
over 250,0o0,O0O to 350,000.0O0 bush
els Of other cereals"
Therefore we have a problem here
of furnishing anywhere from S00,-
100000 to 1,0o0.000,o00 bushels Of
grain, Hoover said.
The bulk Of the bread burden is
now on the United States because
the allies crops are short millions Of
bushels.
In France alone, Hoover said. the
wheat crop is down fifty-five per
cent. creating deficiency of 100000
600 bushels. All former sources OF
cereals for the allies are now cut off.
These were originally, Russia, Ru-
mania, Bulgaria, Australia, India and
the Argentine.
''The whole supplies Of Russia, Bull
garia and Runania are absolutely cut
off, Hoover continued. Australia
and India are, in effect, cut off to-
day because the haul Is three times
the distance OF the Atlantic seaboard,
the tonnage required is trebled and
the danger just about doubled. The
result is they have been unable dur
ing the last three months to get any
consequential amount Of grain from
that quarter.
Whether that lane will be re- !
opened is a matter of some difficulty. |
Some measures are being taken to
reopen 1t and it may be hoped that |
during the next year some food sup |
ply may be obtained from Australia |
and India by the use of sailing ships |
and by trans-shipping at some point
like Buenos Aires OR Panama"
Hoover sounded the warning, how
ever, that in supplying the great
vacuum across the water, public |
tranquility in this country must not
be upset. He said it IS the business
of this nation that the allies shall

Congresswoman Rankin Made
Maiden Speech Today and
Given Unanimous
Support.
WORK FOR WOMEN
Tremendous Ovation When She Pre-
scented Amendment to the House
Food Conservation
Bill.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, May 2S. - Miss
jeanette Rankin of Montana, game
but a little nervous, made her maiden
speech in the house this afternoon.
She introduced, spoke on and had
passed in less than five minutes,
amid vociferous applause, an amend
ment providing that as much as pos
sible of the food conservation work
under the Lever bill shall be done by
women.
Miss Rankin, after nearly two
months Of virtual silence in the house.
caused a stir on the floor as she
arose, obtained recognition as the
lady from Montana" and handed
her amendment to page.
The amendment, offered to Sec
ton of the Lever bill, that gives 81
500, 1000 for the conservation of food,
for elimination of waste and for in
creasing production follows:
provided that the secretary Of
agriculture shall so far as is prac.
ticable engage the services OF women
for the work herein provided for
The first of several ovations greet
ed the amendment.
Miss Rankin, still standing, was
again recognized by Representative
Hamlin, in the chair, as the lady
from Montana
Standing at the center of the rear
of the chamber, she braced herself
upon the back of the preceding row
of chairs and began her first speech.
"The amendment will place women
where they can be effective" she
said. "By having in these offices
women officials who understand the
home. women can be encouraged to
conserve food. By using women we
can concentrate the attention of
women in large questions of the ma
ton. Women must learn to think of
food in carload lots, in transit, In
storage, in the board Of trade, and in
the national market as well as in
small portions of the family table

tons have been turning out large
