HERBERT HOOVER"

Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-The neces-
sity of encouraging the farmers to
raise three times as many hogs this
year as they did last year, was en-
phasized by Herbert Hoover today in
addressing a food supply conference
composed of members of the Pennsyl-
vania committee on public safety and
others interested in the food prob
lens.
I'VE are sending abroad more hog
products at the present time than we
produce. Three times as much grain
and meat is being exported now than
was the case before the war, and the
demand from u allies is increasing.
Our supply of grains is the lowest in
our history. If some disaster had
put the harvest back two and a half
months this year, this country would
have starved"
Self-Denial Necessary.
As the war grows older. the ne
cessity for self-denial will be more
severe and more difficult. Mr.. Hoov-
Ell said he believed, however. the
country would not come to food cards
and tickets.
"Our sense of right" he declared.
will enable us to conserve to such
N extent as to enable US to avoid
such drastic resources"
The war will be paid for, Mr..
Hoover said. out of the savings of
the people. not by the railroads and
great corporations. As an instance
of what small savings will accomplish,

CHAPTER V.
The Death Message.

Meade, ST., was an old man. Al though unlike Moses his eye was dim and his natural force abated, the evi- dences of power were still apparent, especially to the observant. There rose the broad brow of the thinker. His power of intense concentration was ex- pressed outwardly by a directness of gaze from the old eyes which, though faded, could flash on occasion Other facial characteristics of that snow crowned, leonine head. which bespoke that imaginative power without which great engineer could not be in spite of ali his scientific exactltudes. had not been cut out of his countenance by the pruning knife of time.
 He was a great engineer and looked it, sitting alone in his office with the telegram crushed In his trembling hand, despite the fact that his gray face was the very picture of unwonted weakness. of impotency, and abiding horror. The message had struck him a terrific blow. He had reeled under if and had sunk down In the chair in a state of nervous collapse.
 The telegram fairly burned the ciammy palm of his hand. He would fain have dropped It yet he could not. Slowly he opened 1t once more. Ordi- narily, powerful glasses stimulated his vision. He needed nothing to read it again. It Is doubtful whether his eyes saw it or not and there was not need | for the message was burned into his brain.
 He read again the mysterious words CDR
 There could be no mistake. The
 name that was signed to it was the
 name of his son. the young engineer the child of his fathers old age. The boy, as the old man thought of him
 had ventured to dispute his fathers
 figures, to question his fathers design but the elder man had overborne hin with his vast experience, his great au thority, his extensive learning, his higf reputation. And now the boy was right
 Strange to say some little thrill o pride came 10 the old engineer at tha
 moment.
 He tried to find out from the tele gram when 1t had been sent. That da,
 was 6 holiday-the birthday of one O.

thing which to Abbott seemed useless and unnecessary. and the fact that subsequent events had more often than not proved Meade's suggestions to be worth while. had not put Abbott in al- together the best mood toward his young colleague Abbott never forgot that Meade had really no official con nection with the building of the bridge, and that he was only there as special representative of his father. and al- though he could not help liking the younger man. Abbott would have been better pleased if he had been left alone.
 Meade had not gone about 1t in the right way to move a man of Abbott's lay awake on the sleeper speeding to New York. Abbott was a man who could not be driven. He was a tre- mendous driver himself and naturally he could not take his own medicine. If Meade had received the announcement more quietly and If he had by some subtle suggestion put the Idea of dan ger into Abbott's mind all would have been well, for when he was not blind ed by prejudice, or his authority or his ability questioned. Abbott vas a sen- sible man thoroughly 10 be depended upon. But the news had come tc Meade | with such suddenness, Abbott had only casually mentioned 1t at the close of a l lengthy conversation regarding the progress of the work as If 1t were a matter of no special moment. that the sudden shock had thrown Meade of his balance.
 Therefore he could see nothing but | danger and the necessity for action How he should handle his superior. oi rather the bridges superior. was the last thing In his mind.

 Don't talk to me. boy. know my business. tell you I can jack 1t back. That members big enough and strong enough to hold up the world"
 What are you going to jack ngainStT Meade asked, and for the first time little of Abbott's contempt appeared In the younger mans voice.
 Abbott reflected that there was noth- ing firm enough to serve as a support for jacks and said rather grudgingly, for 1t seemed like a concession to the younger and junior engineer:
 Well, can hook on to the opposite truss and pull Ii back with turn buckles"
 That will damage the other truss too much, Abbott" Meade retorted promptly. 'It isn't possible"
 ''Then I'll think up some othe, scheme" returned Abbott Indinerently as If humoring the other. "we can't walt, we've got to hurry 1t along

Into the Room Burst Colonel IIlington- night train It is a holiday Tn New York as well as here. I just happened to meet father in the office. He sent . telegram to you and not hearing from you, duplicated it an hour later. l tried half dozen times to get you on the telephone and finally. by happy chance, got hold of young Johnson"
 "Where are your fathers tele- grams?"
 Here"
 Colonel Illingworth tore the first open with trembling fingers.
 "Why didn't you tell Abbott?" asked the chief engineer.
 You know Abbott. He said the bridge would stand until the world caved in. Said he could jack the mem- Der into line. He wouldn't do thing except on direct orders from here"
 "Your father wires, put no more weight on the bridge What shall we do?" interposed Colonel nlingworth.
 Telegraph Abbott at once"
 If the bridge goes 1t means ruin to the company" said the agitated vice president, who was the financial mem- Der of the firm and who could easily be pardoned for a natural exaggeration under the terrible circumstances.
 "Yes, but If It goes with the men on. 1t means-Johnson. are you telegraph operatorT
 "Yes, sir"
 Take the key" said the colonel. who, having been soldier, thought first of the men.
 Johnson sat down at the table where the direct wire ran from the bridge company to the telegraph office. He reached his hand out and laid his fingers on the key. Before he could give the faintest pressure to the instru- ment, 1t suddenly clicked of its own motion. Everybody in the room stood silent.
 "it is a message from Wilchings. the chief of construction foreman of" Johnson paused a moment, listening to the rapid click-"the International-s he said in an awestruck whisper. It had come.

 "Meade. what of the bridge?" he burst out. with a quick nod to his daughter. Colonel ulingworth had not stopped to hunt for a wayside tele phone. The automobile driven madly recklessly through the hills and over the rough roads. had brought him di- rectly to the office in the shortest pos sible time
 "There is a defection one inch and three-quarters deep In one of the com precision members, C-10-R," was the prompt and terrible answer.
 Colonel Illingworth had not been president of the Martlet Bridge com pany for so long without learning some thing of practical construction. He was easily enough of an engineer to realize instantly what that statement meant.
