In this war or. not?'

BAN ON OLIVE OIL EXPORTS
Royal Order Calls Halt on Shipments
Except Essentials, From Spain
to United States.

Olive oil exports from Spain, OF
which large quantities formerly were
shipped both directly and via France
and Italy to the United States and
other foreign markets, from Barcelona
and Seville, are prohibited by a recent
royal order, states commerce reports.
In southern Spain and in the region
of Catalonia, the olive oil industry has
been an important source OF revenue
to the growers who export to foreign
%refineries, whence the oil was often
| shipped to the United States, as OF
really non-Spanish production. Re-
Gently the direct exports of the com-
modify from Spain to the United States
have increased considerably with the
development Of the American taste for
the oil produced In Spain.
There Is no embargo on exports OF
essential oils such as pennyroyal, rose
mary, sage, thyme and lavender, the
Spanish production of which Is large
ly destined for foreign markets, n
shipment of which Is made direct from
Spain to the United States, France.
and elsewhere. These oils are pro-
duced especially In the regions OF Muir
cia and Malaga, where many medical
herbs are grown for domestic con-
sumption and export. AS compare
lively little use is made in Spain OF
several oils derived from the plants
mentioned and other oil-prOducing
herbs, the local market Is limited but
the industry may be developed indeh-
nitely in view of the favorable ell
matte conditions Of those sections OF
Spain where the plants flourish. In
1916 the declared exports of essential
oils from Malaga to the United States
were valued at $176, 1874; those from
Almerla, at $21 800; and those from
Barcelona, at $13,22O.

ords at Her Present Rate
Of Progress.

There is not a city in this country,
perhaps none in the world, that Is
growing at a more rapid rate than Nor
folk" remarked G. ". Sizer, manager
Of one Of the leading hotels Of that
city, at the Raleigh, the Washington
Post states. 1.-The last census gave
the population Of Norfolk at less than
10000. Today it is estimated that Nor
folk Is a city Of 10000, or more than
double the size it was In 1910. WASH
ington prides itself on the tremendous
growth attained in the last two or
three years. 1 take considerable pride
in the growth of Washington. for I
lived here many years, but the pro-
%portionate increase in the population
of the national capital cannot compare
with that of Norfolk. OF course, both
cities are helped by war business.
Washington, l presume, is the busiest
city in the world, but Norfolk is al
most next.
Hampton Roads is filled with ships.
B~attleships are passing In and out
every hour, and soldiers and sailors
are filling the streets, hotels and resi-
dences Of Norfolk. Only recently I
saw some 1900 soldiers from New Zea-
land parading through the streets of
Norfolk. Many of them were not
young. New Zealand already has sent
close to 10000 men to the front in
France, and Belgium, out Of a popu-
Iation of 1.5OO.OO and is still sending
men, which should be an object les
son to us.
Business Is booming in Norfolk as
never before. The hotels are filled to

Yes, you are-nOt!"

"And you don't know Billy Louise

Charlie Fox and Peter pulled out and
left her there all solitary alone. I've
been staying with her overnight. l
told her we'd be down there, and stay
till-further notice."
Billy Louise did not give Ward much
opportunity for argument. He was too
awkward with his crutches to keep up
with her. and she managed to be on
the move most Of the time.
When she had helped Ward upon

PIayinu the Man.

No matter what part he may be
playing In the strenuous game of life
as it Is presented today, the brother
hood man, above all others, must play
the man. These are times when the
best that Is In us must be given to
carry on" and the race run with
s~teadfastness and a manly purpose.
AS Robert l.. Stevenson so beautifully
puts it: whether we regard life as a
line leading to a dead wall-a mere
bags end, as the French say-Or
whether we think Of 1t as a vestibule
or gymnasium, where we wait our turn
and prepare our facilities for some
more noble destiny; whether we thun-
der in a pulpit or pule in little esthetic
poetry books about its vanity and brew
ity, whether we look justly for years
of health and vigor, or are about to
mount into a bath chair, as a step to-
wards the hearse; In each and all of
these views and situations there Is but
one conclusion possible; that a man
should stop his ears against paraly-
sing terror and run the race that Ia
set before him with a single mind"

The First RomanoN.

RomanOf Is the name Of the Rus.
sian imperial dynasty regnant in the
male line from 1913 to 1870. and
t~henceforward in the female line. Con.
slant intermarriages with German
princely houses, however, have made
the ROmanoff strain of today more
German than Russian. Nay; the old.
est ancestor of the house of Roman.
off Andrew Kobyla, Is said to have
come to Moscow from Prussia (134l).
The name Romanoff was given to the
family by the boyar Roman Yurie-
witch, the fifth Of direct descent from
Andrew, who succeeded in getting a
female member of his family on the
throne Of the cars by marrying his
daughter to Ivan the Terrible. In
February, 1913. Mikhael Feodorvitch
Roman0f, a boy Of seventeen, was pro-
claimed car. grand duke and ~autocrat
Of all the Russias in the Red square
Of Moscow. With this accession to
the throne of the famous, or rather i'll.
famed, dynasty began a 3O4 years
misrule that-let III hope-has ended
forever with the forced abdication Of
Gar Nicholas, in March, 1917.

MOy Hee, proprietor Of a chop suey

In China, relates an exchange, where
he visited his aged mother and 275,0OO
relatives, all members of the great

made at Sun Ming. MOy learned that
his 275,O00 relatives were not prop

ties. While many of them were
wealthy, a large number could not at
ford the $12 n year IL child for educa-
ton. Moy has undertaken to raise
the sum of 100000 to build schools
and employ teachers in that vicinity.
He collected some Of the fund from

CHAPTER XVIII.
All Riuht and Comfy.

"IIE next morning Billy Louise
rode up the creek at a long lope,
and she pulled up at the stable
and slid off Blue. She went straight
to a corner of the hay corral and
stopped with her hands clutching the
top wire.
Ward Warren, for heavens sake,
what are you doing?" You couldn't
have told from her tone that she had
been crying, a mile back, from sheer
anxiety, or that she ''lOved him to
pieces" She sounded as if she did not
love him at all and was merely disgust
ed with his actions.
"Tm trying to sink my loop on this
buzzard-head of a horse" Ward re-
torted glumly. "Tve been trying for
about an hour" he added, ~grinning n
little ut his own plight.
"Well, it's a lucky thing for you he
won't let you" Billy Louise informed
him sternly, STOPPING to crawl under
the bottom wire. you've got about as
much sense as" She did not say
what. "Give me that rope, IND you
take yourself and your crutches out
of the corral, Mr.. Smarty. just had
a bunch you couldn't be trusted to be-
have yourself"
"Brave Buckaroo got lonesome"
Ward said, looking at her with eyes
alight. as he hobbled slowly toward
her. you'll have to open the gate for
me, William. Rattler'll make a break
for the open If he sees a crack as wide
as your little finger"
BY then he was near enough to
reach out an arm and pull her close to
him. "Oh, william girl, I'm sure glad
to see you once more. l got scared. /
thought maybe l just dreamed you
were here so l tackled-"
"You tackled more than you could
handle. You ought to know you mustn't
try to ride Rather, Ward. What If he'd
pitch with you?"
"In that case, I'd pile up, I reckon. |
Say william, a broken leg does take a
deuce of a time to get well. But all
the same, I'll stop old Rather, all right. |
I'd top anything rather than spend an
other night In that jail"
