SUDDEN END TO HIS RHAPSODY
Ardent Lover Had an Audience Which
He Would Have Been Glad to
Dispense With.

1t happened at a public hall. He
was a man of serious intentions and
numerous attentions, and she was rich
and weddable. They sat in the hall
under the stairway. 1t was nook for
lovers. There was not soul in sight.
Down he Topped on his knees and
clasped her hand.
Dear one," he whispered, not very
loud, but loud enough. II have loved
you with the whole strength and ardor
of a mans nature when it is reused
by all that is pure and good and lovely
in woman, and can no longer re-
strain my pent-up feelings. l must
tell you what is in my heart, and as
sure you that never yet has woman
heard from my lips the secrets that
are throbbing and"
Just then a rustic was heard on the
stairs above them, and a card fastened
to a thread swung down and dangled
not two inches from the lovers nose.
On it were these portentious words:
I'm a bit of liar myself"
Then the awful truth flashed upon
him, and he fed. AS he went out of
the door, sixteen girls from the head
of the stairs sent sixteen laughs out
into the damp night after him. He
makes no love at balls now.

MEATLESS DAYS SAVE
l4O,OOO,OOO LBS. BEEF
People, By Sacrifices, Win Graft.
tude of Allies, Says Hoover
WELL WORTH SACRIFICE
Restrictions To Be Lifted Soon In
Many Of The Western
States

Meatless days in the United States
have saved 140,000,000 pounds OF
beef in four months, the Food Admin
istration announced. During this per
iod 165,000,000 pounds of beef were
exported to the Allies, together with
400,000,000 pounds of pork products
The figures were made public in
statement explaining why the Food
Administration refused requests OF
cattle and sheep growers to remove
beef, mutton and lamb from the con
servation rules with regard to meat
less day. The Administration again
declared that meatless days were es-
tablished for the purpose of enabling
the United States to feed the Allies by
saving on meat consumption.
The announcement says: IF the
many people who have assisted us in
the accumulation of exportable stocks
of meat products during the last three
months could receive the expressions
of gratitude with which these ship
ments are now being received in Eu-
rope among the Allies, they would
feel amply rewarded for the sacri-
fees
Mutton and lamb are not exported,
and the Food Administration has re-
moved the restriction on its consump-
ton in some of the Western States
The restriction will be lifted soon in
many of the other Western States in
which large numbers of sheep and
lambs are produced for meat. Mr..
Hoover will recommend to State ad-
ministrators that the people be per-
mitted to eat all the mutton and lamb
they want until after April Is, when
the spring marketing season is about
at an end.
1T is desirable to bear in mind"
said Mr.. Hoover, that meatless days
are simply and solely for the purpose
of enabling us to feed the Allies. by
saving ON our meat consumption
They were instituted as a device to
this end because it places the burden
on saving on those classes most able
to do so.
"Our national consumption has in
creased at a faster rate than our pro-
duction, and, therefore, without the
meatless days we would not be in
position to export even the pre-war
average amounts. Therefore the act
ual saving is more than is apparent
by the comparison of direct figures.
"That the exports are absolutely
vital needs no proof further than the
statement of the ration at present in
force in Europe among the Allies,
which has been reduced approximate
ly to one pound of meats of all kinds
a week, or less than thirty per cent OF
the present American consumption
and it is today at so low figure as
to tend to diminish the morale and
the resistance of the Allies.
1--WE are doing our best TO increase
the amount of exports, and can do so
only by rigid conservation on the part
of the American people,

ONE FATAL FLAW IN PLAN!
Professors Carefully Thought Out
Scheme Worked Well, With Just
That Little Exception.

He was a dear old professor, very
learned and very absent-minded And
the latter trait Of his was constantly
getting him into hot water. This did
not worry him so much as the one
fact that he could never find his
clothes in the morning on getting up,
having completely forgotten where he
had laid them.
One memorable day, however, bril-
liant inspiration came to him. He
would devise clothes plan. He did,
and it ran something like this:
Coat on third peg, left-hand corner
of room; waistcoat and trousers on
chair by bed, collar on door handle,
tie through key of door, vest on floor
by window, cuffs on bedstead knobs,
shirt on portmanteau, socks on gas
bracket, boots outside door, professor
in bed"
This worked splendidly, and next
morning the dear old thing collected
his wardrobe with lightning rapidity,
until he came to the last item on his
list. He rushed to the bed, but it was
empty. Running his hand through his
scanty gray locks, he exclaimed, in
deep despair:
''Therei Now the professor is lost.
I'm much afraid, after all, this plan IL
no good!"

At the Republic Tomorrow.

Mary Miles Minter has been given s.
splendid vehicle in her new play, 1.-THE
Mate of the Sally Ann" which is one
of the most interesting stories in
which Miss Minrer has yet been seen
under American-Mutual auspices.
The story is that of 8 pretty little
girl named Sally who lives in the sup
posedly stranded hulk of an cid ship
with her grandfather. 1t is to humor
the old gentleman's fancies that sally
figures as THE Mate of the Sally
Ann" and by turns she plays the part
of every other member of the sup
posed crew.
Miss Minter, who is highly pleased
with her new play, says she is:
"The Bo'sn tight
And the mldshipmite
AND the crew of the captains gig"
Alan Forest, the good looking young
leading man appears in the leading
masculine role. He played the leads
in several of Miss Minter's recent
productions notably Charity Castle"
''Her CountTy's Calf and Peggy
Leads the Way.
George Periolat as Captain Ward,
Sally's grandfather, the gruff old sal
lorman, gives q remarkably artistic
Characterization. Jack Connolly and
Adele harrington have also good roles
in the play, which was written by
Henry Albert Phillips and scenarioized
by Elizabeth Mahoney.

Arizona Lighthouse,

There are many odd lighthouses
throughout the world, but SO far as
is known, the only inland lighthouse"
if so it may be called, is that stu
ated far out in the Arizona desert.
This lighthouse" as it is called,
marks the spot where a well supplies
fresh water to travellers. This is
said to be the only spot where water
may be had for 40 miles to the east
and for at least 80 miles to the
west.
The lighthouse" consists merely of
a tall cottonwood pole to the top Of
which there is hoisted every night a
lantern, the light of which may be
seen for miles across the desert in
every direction. The water, sweet and
cold, is raised in large bucket made
from a barrel. The revolving drum
above is propelled by mule that
knows just how many rounds it must
make before the bucket rises to the
point where it tips into trough
