FOUND MAN TO COOK CORN
Lucky Find Solved Big Problem for
One Of HooVer's Helpers In Hard
% Times In Belgium.

A cargo of corn sent to the COM
mission for the relief Of Belgium
early In 1916 was problem to dis
pose Of until Robinson Smith, one
Of HOOver's helpers, ran into luck
on dusty Belgian road one day.
None of the Belgians had ever
used American corn. The cargo
was useless unless some one could
be found who knew how to cook It.
Smith was thinking over the prob
lem as he drove along In his CIR, he
related the other day. He espied a
ragged-looking negro sitting by the
roadside. He drew up his car.
"Are you an American citlZen" he
asked the bundle Of rags.
81 doan know, boss" the bundle an
swered. 81 comes from Norfolk. All
I knows is I Amt got no business heah,
sah."
"But you can cook, can't your
Smith asked with rising hope.
"Bes' thing do, sah."
Without pass for him, Smith was
perplexed as to how he could get tho
find back to Brussels. He took a
chance and put the negro In the rear
Of the machine under n blanket and
drove him off to the @. Il. b. ktch-
ems.
They put him in chefs uniform
and brought In the corn. The way
the BelgIans ate corn pone. corn bread
and corn cakes made that cargo go
so quickly the G. Il. i. soon had no
problem on its hands.

Georue Eliot Seldom Read.

George Eliot was writer almost
omnipotent in her power to charm at
once the great multitude and the aus
tere critic Of her time.
She was taken more seriously than
any writer Of today ever has been or
ever will be taken.
Yet to the great bulk Of educated
criticism Of today George Eliot has
become writer unreadable in herself
and negligible as q critical illustration.
Her character drawing appears to
be singularly wooden, her books with
out any form, her style entirely pc
destr1an and her solemnity intolerable.
And 1t Is probable that It was this
very solemnity that gave to her works
all the qualities that make them to
men In touch with the life Of today 30
entirely unreadable, so exactly like so
many heavy cakes.
George Eliot was, in fact, great
figure. She was great enough TO Inn
pose herself upon her day; she prob
ably never sought, though she GER
tainly found, the popularity Of sensa-
tiOnalism.

SAVE AND SHIP BEEF.

This simply means that a demand
overseas has arisen for beef and that

ROCKVILLE. MARYLAND. FRIDAY MORNING. JULY y, 1913
SCENTS A HUN SCHEME
IN REPORTS or FAMINE

London.-News that comes out OF
the enemy territory should always be
regarded with suspicion, and 1t may
be that the dispatches describing food
riots in Austrla-Hungary are con.
cocted in order to lure the Allies into
relaxing the vigor Of their efforts,
Such is the opinion expressed here by
Lord Robert Cecil.
There is no doubt" he says, that
the Germans have made a practice OF
spreading Just such reports as these.
Their Idea seems to be to lull their
enemies to sleep and prevent them
from taking the necessary steps. Then
they hope to catch them unprepared."
Unpreparedness would, of course.
take the form OF allowing wasteful.
ness in food to raise its head again
or to ease up notch in production.
Food, coupled with staunch fighting
men. will win the war, Lack of food
may most easily lose the war. What
ever the facts may be, It is the part
OF wisdom to assume that the clamor
In Hungary Is caused not more by
real suffering there than by a desire
to create undue optimism in Allied
countries, and through II lack Of
food In the hard winter that Is ahead.
Certainly 1t is hard to understand
how the German censorship would
permit the publication of such stories
as have been reprinted here of late.
These stories tell, of mobs driven by
cavalry charges away from Vienna
bakeshops, OF an attempt upon the
life of the Emperor Charles, and Of
attacks upon the German Embassy in
the Austrian Capital A leading
Vienna paper declares that the peo-
pie Of Austria win have to exist for
at least six weeks on Nttle more than
salads and certain vegetables, while
former Premier Tisza told the Hun
garian Parliament that several prov
inces were reduced to one-third and
even one-quarter OF the amount OF food
necessary to maintain the population
In health.
Lord Robert Cecil's advice, how
ever, is sound It is all right to hope
that internal trouble caused by food
shortage may cost Germany one Of
her confederates. But II would be the
height of folly for any Allied country
to abate one Jot Its effort to keep up
full flow of supplies to the battle
front. Food VIII Win The War;"
but It will be long fight, and no
Allied nation dare be so sanguine as
to place over-much confidence in dis.

dress

by continuing her work.

went into the little living room and,

"You see, my father died just when
was finishing high school. He left
hardly anythlng-he'd lost 1t all In a
Wall street panic just before he died.
Mother and he had set their hearts
on having me be lawyer and l had,
too. OF course, wanted toquit school
and go to work for her, but she
wouldn't let me. She wanted to see me
through college and law course. You
know how It used to be with women of
her generation - they just weren't
taught any money-making trade and
the only thing she could do that would
bring in enough money was to take
care Of apartments like this. She could
attend to the house at home first and
then come over here and do these
apartments. Well, she did that and 1
worked after school. couldn't endure
to see her do this, but was bent on

that then I'd be able to give her the

she wouldn't mind doing 1t herself, but
she couldn't endure to have me do
It,"
Terry came over to the young man.
He rose beside her, and she laid two
small hands on his arms. II think you
are the most splendid young man

know, is very proud of 1t. I'll never
tell anyone your secret, and know
some day you will win for your moth

The next day Terry purposely ar

I'm dreadfully lonely here, and don't

The Lilies OF France have been

Her roses are trampled and dead.
Fer forests have fell with her brayest
And her violets are gone with the

Her fields are now in destruction,
Her people no more happy and gay
And a region OF desolation
Extends where the Tri-colors wave
But now Old Glory, God bless her

To the flag that fought for her free

When she was oppressed by foe,
Alas! An enemy is trying
To trample that flag in the dust.
