than a platonic friendship could be
devised. II gives to the man the very
best years of a woman's youth. the
freshness of her heart. the first sparkle
of her wit. the sweetest of her ro-
nance, and then leaves him perfectly
free to ride away when her charms
begin to fail.
Mans friendship also exacts q toll
from women that they are never will
ing to pay to their friendship to
women. The chief use a man has for
a woman friend is to make OF her a
confidante into whom they can pour
the stories OF their struggles, and dis
appointments. their hopes. plans and
aspirations, the things that their pride
would keep them from telling TO their
very best man friends. They want a
woman friend to whom they can come
in their hours OF depression and who
will sympathize with them and COM
fort them.
But let a woman retaliate by telling
man all her troubles and disap-
pointments. hopes. and aspirations; he
will yawn in her face. and flee her
as he would the plague. The idea OF
reciprocity does not enter into a mans
conception of friendship with women.
And that's what makes IL so foolish
for a woman to say that a woman's
best friend is a man.

sentative Martin Madden. Of Chicago.
took the delegation to call on Roper.
who said:
THE fundamental idea with which
undertook the duties of Commissioner
OF Internal Revenue is that the war
revenue act must be administered CO.
operatively and constructively.
This is Secretary McAdoo's idea
and nothing has occurred to change
this viewpoint. We all want to ad-
minister this law with just one definite
aim-to win the war. I assure you
that If the request you have made can
be granted in whole or in part. with

Lecturers HEAR
TALK BY HOOVER
F Food Administrator Tells Of Neces-
sity for Sacrifice and Saving.

War has but two compensations.
They are the preservation of indie
pendence and institutions. and the
stimulus to self-sacrifice which
means a raising of the ideals of the
people. II we can accomplish these
things we will have given the peo-
pie something out of the war for
the right side of the ledger"
This was the text of a message
Herbert C. Hoover. food administra-
tor, delivered to the National Con-
ference of American Lecturers yes
terday. He dealt especially with
the need for sacrifice by America,
in order to save the allies and. in
the last analysis. to save America.
War is destruction of COM
modities." he said. These commodi-
ties must be taken from the nor
NAL supplies OF the people. 1t is
the price of war and We must
pay it,"
The need for conservation Is
greater than ever. Mr.. Hoover
pointed out. for the reason that the
demand for shipping for troops may
result in a stoppage of all tonnage
that has been plying between South
America and the allied countries.
In this case, he added. the winning
OF the war will be up to the saw
ing capacity of the American peo-
pie.
DIR. Alonzo Taylor, of the Food
Administration, also spoke, urging
the lecturers to carry conserva-
ton me essage to every platform they
occupy this year.
