ROMEO WAS CLAD IN KHAKI
Played the Popular Game, Choosing the Dinner Table to Work on Af-
 fection1 of Waitress.

It Is natural that we should be eager to do whatever we can for the boys in khaki; but sometimes, when the pa- triotic zeal is not accompanied by a sympathetic imagination, the benefi- ciary may pray to be delivered from our friends. writes "An American Woman" in the Outlook.
 A hOmesick lad Is likely to want either an atmosphere like that of his own home or else the exotic flavor the expectation of which has helped him to undertake the great adventure so cheerily.
 In one family among my neighbOrs the son of the house was scandal1zed when one of their guests at Sunday dinner made the perfectly simple and natural request that he be permitted after the meal to repair to the kitchen where the pretty waitress was. Per mission was denied, but young Romeo was not discouraged, and this letter came 'TO the Girl That Waits for Mrs. So-and-So: You are the best ever. Are you keeping company with any bodyT" He added his name and few personal details, and this delicious bit of identification: eff you don't know which soldier wrote this. 1t is the one that touched your hand under the dish when you passed the potatoes"

To Save Foolish Mo+orIst.

The officials of the Long Island railway have begun another years campaign to try and prevent motorists from committing suicide by driving in front of moving trains. Last year the Long Island had 1O9 grade-crossing gates smashed by automobile drivers. It was favorite game to drive at high speed into these barriers, smash them and then clear the track just a few feet ahead of the Oncoming train. MOn- days newspapers usually carry long casualty lists resulting from foolhardy motorcar drivers, who celebrate Sum- day by going to eternity instead of their intended destination. There are reckless drivers in every state and in every city of every state. IndianapO- lis has It's share and sooner or later they will learn that the game between the automobile and the locomotive is an unequal one. The locomotive wins every time.

GIFTS FIRST AND LAST FALL
J0Flcho's Siege and Capture One Of the Spectacular Stori0S of the
 Old TeetamOnG

On the morning of Washington's birthday Gen. Sir B. H. Allenby's Aus tralian troopers rode as conQuerOrs into a little village of huts. noted geo. graphically as being the city of low est elevation on earth, and in Biblical history as being the scene of the Promised Land. observes the Mime apOlis Journal.
 In the Canaanite days Jericho was a fortified city, commanding both the lower ford of the Jordan and the route leading up to the highlands of JudeR. The story of it's siege and capture and the destruction of its population is one of the spectacular stories of the Old Testament. which contrasts strongly with it's gentle seizure by a Christian army in year of our Lord thiTty-nve centuries later.
 According to the Old Testament story, the city was left desolate with curse from Joshua upon the man who should attempt to rebuild 1t. And it is related that Hiel, the Bethelite, who did rebuild 1t, lost his two sons in the construction of the wall as punishment for his temerity.
 It was at Jericho that Joshua insti- tuted his campaign of frightfulness upon his enemies; and it was on the Jericho road leading up to the Judean highlands that Jesus laid the scene of the story of the Good Samaritan who gave first aid to a wounded enemy. The advance from Joshua to Jesus in the human ideal of duty toward ones enemies is the very measure of the spread between the ideals of Hinden- burg and Allenby on the same Ques. ton.
 This war is fundamentally a con- fict between the ideals of modern brotherhood and ancient OverlOrdship; and nowhere Is the contrast more note worthy than in this little village of Jericho. where the people today are safer in the hands of their enemies than they were under the rule of their own people. The world, with the excep- ton of Germany and Turkey, has trav- eled long way between the two falls of Jericho.

Russia q Puzzle Even to ToIstoy.

"How can one understand chaos?" is the reply Count Ilya TOlstOy, son of the famous Leo TOlstOy, writer, philosopher and mystic, made to the question as to his interpretation of conditions in Europe.
 If such a man as Count TOlstoy is at sea in regard to Russian affairs, if is surely pardOnable for Americans to be in ignorance of them. The count says that the real Russia has not been consulted at all in the recent changes there. The real Russia is peasant Russia and peasant Russia has been ignored. The count pleads for Ameri- can sympathy for his people, who, he says, have been deceived and misled. "The crime of all the Russian leaders" |" he says, 'fs that they have been fol- lowing their own programs and ignor- ing the peasants, the masses" What will come out of the present chaos the count professes he does not know.

Lona Loaves Are. Most EeenomIeal.

Long GoaVes Are Most EconomlcaI.
 A loaf weighing one pound contains II per cent of water If 1t is round and only 34 per cent if 1t is cylindrical. Therefore, she who buys long loaves gets TAO grammes more actual food for her money than she who buys round lOaves.
 The reason for this is that the sphere is the figure that contains the largest possible volume under the smallest possible surface, and, as evap- oration is matter of surface, this Is greater from a cylinder than it ia from a sphere of the same weight.

 A letter made public by MT Becker, who conducted the inquiry. was writ ten by Sehwerdt ot Albert in Janu- ary. 1917. In th,s communication Schwerdt informed Albert of the wool situation in America and outlined plans for obtaining control of wool stocks for German interests after the war. NIT. Becker said it was signif- ican that in his letter Schwerdt al luded to himself as a German.
 There can be no question" NIT. Becker said in a formal report to the state department. that Schwerdt has considered himself a German, that his svmpathies are pro-German, that he has been engaged in the wool trade in behalf of Germany in this country. and masauerading under American names. and that at the presen, time he is en- deavoring to dissimulate his real sen timents and those of his son."

 WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-General price fixng on agricultural products is not a part of the policy of the food administration and will not be made Food Administrator Hoover said to- nght in a statement designated Co re- assure farmers apprehensive that the government might set maximum prices on what they have to sell.
 There appears to be great deal of transformation circulated amongst the agricultural communities as to the polcy and scope of the food admins tration with relation to prce fixing said Mir. Hoover.
 'T wish to say at once and emphat- ically that the food administration is not a price-fixing body except with regard { ocorn commodities, which are today dominated by wholly ab normal overseas commercial relations and the factors related to which are such as to project great dangers both against the farming community and at the same time the consuming community.

HoOUer Says He WiH Not Fix Any
 Prices On Agricultural Products

between organized producers and con- sumers the food administration has no authority and no desire to tlx prces oni the products of agrculture.
 "In wheat we were faced with single purchasing agent whose propor- tiOnate purchases to the whole were such as to dominate the price. Any relationship with this agency by our officials in limiting their operations thus becomes absolutely price fixing and it becomes a queStion as to whether it would be done openly and frankly with our producing commun- ity or done secretly at the will Of government officials.
 "In the matter of sugar it has been common business prudence to join with the allies in a definite contract with the Cuban authorities as to the price rather than leave it to fluctua. ton which would rise from short sup plies and irregular shipping facilities
 The food administration has been actively engaged in the eliminating oi profiteering and speculation in the distributing trades by regulating the profits on a pre-war basis. A still greater duty has been the main tenance of an even course of food dis tribution in these times of the great war"
