BRITAIN'S FOOD DICTATOR

OF all the members Of the new
Lloyd George administration, the most
remarkable undoubtedly Is Lord
Davenport born the son Of small
farmer or peasant Mt Uxbridge, In
Mlddlesex, and formerly errund boy
In tea concern. He made fortune
In the grocery trade, outstripping his
rival, Sir Thomas Upton, who had to
remain content with mere baronetcy.
And now he Is peer of the realm.
But II was not rs grocer that he
won fame. His chief title to distinction
was his administration Of the port Of
London. He disposed of the great
dock strikes which In 1912 paralyzed
things and threatened the metropolis
with famine.
Every pressure was brought on
that occasion to induce him to give
way to the strikers, but Lord Devon
port declined to surrender, although
Ben Tillett and other labor leaders
publicly urged the strikers to shoot

Few of those who have followed
the life of Booth Harrington know that
at one time the author was known In
Capri as "the grand duke"
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrington. who had
been staying In the Hotel Quisisana.
Capri, for some little time. were about
to journey to Rome. where they had
engaged rooms at the Palace hotel.
At Capri the American novelist and
his wife were known as "thc grand
duke and Duchess" because they
never questioned the first prices that
were asked for anything they wished
to buy, no matter how exorbitant and
outrageous were these prices.
The general custom in Capri was
to ask ridiculously high prices and to
come down gradually to a business
basis. What still further impressed
