Food Administrator Hoover goes over
to Europe to see what effect American
conservation has had on the war. When
he comes back and tells us that we
Americans must save, and save more
than we have been saving, we may rest
assured that he means what he says and
that our allies in Europe actually stand
in need of every bit of reserve that we
can collect. The British, the French, the
Italians, the Belgians and others of our
allies are not indulging in riotous living
at our expense; they are simply subsist-
ing on such foods az can be shipped
across the ocean without damage.

The filming of a restaurant man in a
small city is only small matter in con-
nection with the enforcement of the food
regulations of the United States, but
when a large chocolate factory is com
PEELED to close down its factory and five
stores for period of a week because OF
violation of food regulations it gets to be
quite a convincing argument that the
United States government means bust
ness when it lays down regulations in re.
gard to the use Of food products. The
increasing number of cases in which
heavy penalties have been imposed ought
TO serve as sharp warning to others.

The United States war industries

Out of the mass of information and
misinformation coming out of Russia it
seems to be quite well established that
the ex-czar, Nicholas, has fallen victim
to the distrust Of the bolsheviki and has
been executed. 1t seems possible to take
that much as fact.

II is pleasing to see the grin of delight
on the faces of the Civil war veterans
when they read the bulletins telling of
the defeat of the Germans by the Amer
leans. The news shows them that the
American fighting stock has not run out
by any means and that the spirit of
Americanism is still strong

According to a semi-official statement
given out in Berlin the Germans retreat
ed across the Marine river because they
had accomplished their purpose Of broad
ening the basis for stroke at Rheims
and, having accomplished that purpose
the Germans retreated. The compiler OF
such an explanation deserves to be taken
on by some comic supplement. He has a
wonderful imagination.

The Germans officially announce that

There seems to be no reason to doubt
the yeracity of the Germans in the case
Of Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, who was
previously reported to have fallen in an

was some uncertainty in entente and
American circles, The Germans tell us
hat Lieutenant Roosevelt died in his

What a foolish womanl What
has she gained, except to make
people begin to talk about her
now?
Of course, her idea, it is now
said, was entirely wrong.
1t is possible that the man may
have said something unpleasant
about her wears ago; but he's a
middle-aged man, or was until she
killed him. He had his way 10
make in the world, a family to sup
port, his own friends to please and
his own enemies to defeat. Could
he have had time to stand around
and whisper to people about a wo-
man who had made MIN angry ten
or fifteen years ago?
Men don't remember such things
so long-not unless some one keeps
after them and makes them re-
member.
And, then, what II he did whis-
per? Who listens to such a whis-
perez with any respect or Gre
dence?

you. You like her. You find her q
good neighbor. You see that she
is q devoted mother and a faith

Winifred Blacks Article on Making 70


How long would you listen to
any one who came to you with
some story OF something he knew
about Mrs. Brown fifteen years
ago?
I'd show him the door myself.
and bid him forget that he had
ever found 1t or the way TO it.
The very fact that he would re-
peat such a story would make me
think he wasn't worth believing.
Even II there was a hint of truth
in it, do you have time to take a
magnifying glass and a dictaphone
and a weighing and measuring
scale and go back twenty years
and look into every deed and
thought and word of any one on
earth?

Now to care much about Then

spread a false story about any
one. and make 1t stick.

dalmongers, too many gossips, too
many envious, cruel whlsperers, to
pay much attention to what they
say or try to say.

A WOMAN shot a man the
II other day out in California
4 \ because, she says, the man
had been telling things that were
not true about her.
For years he gossiped about her,
she says, and made people believe
that she was what she is not, and
she declares he did it because she
would not allow him to make love
to her.
She had a good husband, a good
home, plenty Of friends, no lack of
money, and she was very pretty
and comparatively young.
But she became possessed with
the idea that this man was talking
unkindly about her. and one day
when she walked into the lobby of
a hotel and saw him chatting with
some other idlers she thought he
was telling them the same old
story that was. she insists, entirely
false-and SO she shot him.
No Time for Gossip.
He is dead, and his wife is
heart-broken. And the woman's
husband is grief-stricken and hu-
inflated, and the woman herself is
in prison.
