Overcoming Sorrows.

Unrequited love was given as the
reason for the suicide of pretty JAP
anese girl at Long Beach. No blame
can justly be attached to anyone under
such circumstances. but II is a pity
that men and women might not more
often have the strength to overcome
such sorrows by life Of unselfish
service to the world. II loved a wom-
an" says Whitman. "and she did not
return my love-yet out Of this love
and this sorrow have written these
songs."-Los Angeles Times.

Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of the Belgian relief commission, has been asked by the Council of National De- fense to take the >chairmanship of a committee on food supply and prices during the war. The council expects through this committee to coordinate the various food distributing agencies of the nation and prevent, as far as possible, speculation and other evils which would raise food prices to ex- orbitant levels.
 Economy in distribution, increased production and all other phases of the food problem, will be covered in the work of the committee, which will seek to obtain the active cooperation of the food dealers.
 Attention will be paid to the experi- ence Of European govern m ents in handling the food question, and it is for this reason that MT. Hoover's ser- vices will be of value. In this com mittee the government is expected to have an agency admirably equipped for assuming, the general control of food prpduction and distribution should it become necessary for. the government to take this out of prl- Vate hands.

A near tie-up of the electric sys- tenn of the New Haven road between Berlin and Middletown occurred last evening when the coal passers and the firemen at the power station threatened to go on strike. The plans of tho men had been completed and everything was going along as smoothly as possible when in some unknown manner the information reached the officials higher up and the inside machinery was set at work. It was only short time before 9 crew of mem from New York, or some other southern point, was rushed toward Berlin and when the men arrived an invitation to leave was extended to the would-be strik- CTS. As result there was no tie-up and the work went along as if noth- ing out of the ordinary had occurred. Little information as to the reason for strike could be gained this morning but it is said that the trouble was over the wages that are being paid. The men work in eight hour shifts and it is said that they asked fifty cents a day more. For the pres
