sympathy, this wizard of bread looks
the true dauntless.
Hoover is of paternal type. All
children are his children. The suffering
of Belgium compelled him to act be-
cause he cannot resist the appeal of
suffering. His most striking character
istic is love of children. He has two
sons. one six and one eight years of
age, one born in China, the other in
Russia
A hard task is to get Hoover to talk
about himself American newspapers
printed columns and columns about
Belgium About Hoover there was lit
tie. Hoover saw to that
The German government was so i'm
pressed with the rationinc of Belgium
IL asked Hoover to take entire charge
of rationing Austrian and Russian Po-
land, offering him 100000 a month
and asking no accounting. But he would
not leave his Belgian work.
Hoover was born in West Branch. Ia.
forty-three years ago. He was educated
at Stanford university. There he met
and married the woman who became
Mrs. Hoover soon after both had finish
ed engineering courses. They have
travelled All over the world together.
Almost at the beginning Of the war
Hoover declared biscuits would be as
powerful as bullets. Now he seems
destined to be set at marshaling the
worlds biscuits against the kaiser's
bullets-a job that makes him rank
in importance with a commander of all
the armies of the world.
This modest giant has been through
the worlds greatest tragedy, but it has
not saddened him. He has found joy
in taking relief to long lines of little
children, giving life to thousands OF
poor mothers. in keeping little homes
together i'm the black shadow of war.
What will Hoover do as worlds mar
ket man? Every ounce of food will
have to count A Hooverized food
world will be a wasteless food world.
Those who know Hoover best say If
he is set to feed the world he will feed
the world.
Thrown up out of seclusion two and
a half years ago. straight to the top O.
the world-straight to the greatest and
humanest task of all-keeping the
world alive-Hoover will do what is
to be done.

aims of the revolutionary democracy.
Another resolution was adopted de-
claring that the policy of annexation for
the first time had been made the subject
of international discussions and this
fact should be considered an important
victory for democracy. The resolution
concluded:

the resistance Of their governments and
force them to enter upon negotiations

all annexations and indemnities."

Things Worth While.

The bards sing Of the oriole, but who extols the
bustard?
They praise ambrosia's sickish sweets. but all
ignore the mustard,
They burble Of the Knights Of old and trill Of

But never give compliment to tillers and II
t0ilers.
And that Is why I'm sore on bards, the whole
long haired caboodle;
They never sing Of things worth while, but
