Late in the afternoon. I went into
the next coach to talk with Mary
Thomas. She had been in New YORK
to offer her services as an entertainer
for convalescent soldiers in foreign
hospitals OF course she was rejected
she had not the necessary credentials.
She was disappointed-and bitter-I
could see
AS We talked, I noticed that a man
who was riding backward was flirting
over his wife's shoulder with a
pretty girl in front OF me. He was
not a young man The fact seemed
to make his Irritation doubly vulgar,
Scenes like this I have watched be-
fore in restsurants-and once at a
symphony concert.
And l suppose they think they are
clever to put it over the little wife, 20
said Mary Thomas in a sarcastic tone
which astonished me. You see I've
been thinking a good deal. lately
The man passed down the aisle just
then and swerved awkwardly with
the weaving OF the train in order that
he might drop a note into the pretty
girls lap.
And tomorrow. no matter what ap-
rointment they keep" commented
Mary, "he will have forgotten the girl
who fatters herself that she can
make him forget his wife"
While the wife will continue 10
move serenely and securely in her
own dignified orbit" I suggested.
They think they exploit her-when
they are only exploiting each other
That's il, precisely" Mary agreed.
'Nagrant love has such a transient
value 10 q man." l remarked sagely

Children of Washington will play
with no toys marked with Made in
Germany" next Christmas.
That is the determination of Wash
ington mothers prominent in official
social and club circles of the Ma
tional Capital expressed last night to
The Washington Herald.
A shipment of German-made toys
recently was received in New York
having been bought and paid for by
New York firm before the United
States entered the war. New York
women have announced a boycott
against the toys and the American
firm has declared its Intention OF Ie-
fusing to accept them, the company
heads declaring their intention Ia
stand the loss incurred through The
delay in shipment.
See Manufacturcrs' Crimes.
Behind the Made in Germany"
mark upon the toys Washington
mothers see the tortured eyes of
Belgian babes crucified. From out
of the vision brought UP come the
cries of babes unborn whose moth
ers have been mutilated and muir
dered: smoking shambles of ruined
homes and peoples eNiled. and they
want no such toys for their sons
and daughters.
4 vigorous protest was made by
the New York City Federation of
Women's Clubs against the sale OF
the German toys.
Morrison Marshall will most
assuredly not have German toys on
his Christmas tree this winter" said

HOOVER FLAYS
N. Y.DAIRYMEN
Says Milk Men Will Be
Left to Mercy of
Public.

Herbert Hoover, United States Food
Administrator. yesterday administer
ed rebuke Ito the Dairymen's
League of New York for urging milk
producers associations throughout the
country to demand Congressional in
Ivestigation Of the Food Administra-
tion's efforts TO secure agreements in
milk disputes.
He made public a telegram to r d.
Cooper, president of the New York
league, accusing the league of de-
manding more than any other section
of the country and warning him that
if the league is not prepared TO play
the game fairly. the Federal Admin
istration will leave the matter in the
hands of the citizens and authorities
of New York to take such measures
as they may see ft.
Mr.. Hoover says he understands
that while negotiations are pro-
ceeding in New York for a fair
voluntary Arrangement of milk
prices between producers, consum-
ers and distributors, Cooper has
been asking milk producers associ-
ations to press Congress for an in
vestigation or the Food Administra-
tons activities.
Cannot Intimidate Him.
ct wish to state plainly" Mr..
Hoover wired, that the Food Admin
istration is not intimidated by such
tactics. and do not believe they are
supported by the responsible dairy
men OF the country, whose proper in
terests we have at all times endesy-
ored to protect"
No objection to Congressional in
vestigation is made by Mr.. Hoover,
but he asserts that every district in
the country East of the Mississippi
has reached an agreement satisfac-
| tory to all sides.
He expresses full confidence in John
Mitchell, Arthur Williams, DR.. King
and Judge Lamb in their negotiations
in New York.
THE prices proposed by them for
the New York district" says Mr..
Hoover. of s3.sl for 8 per cent milk
is based upon a profitable return to
the producer, as evidenced by all
other agreements in the country and
differences in your local situation. and
takes full account OF increased wages
and expenses. With some sacrifice to
the distributors. it will result in lG-
cent milk to the New York consumer.
the highest price ever paid for milk
Attempting to Pro6teer.
Your demands. which result in IL
cent milk. l consider are based upon
an attempt to profiteer. and will re-
act upon the dairymen by decreased
consumption. This decrease in con-
sumption will come from the poor
children of the city to whom milk is
vital"
Mr.. Hoover concludes by showing
that the Food Administration has no
authority or wish to impose prices
upon producers, but is acting as rnedi-
ator to bring fairness to all interests.
il such service fails through unwill-
ingness of the New York league TO
play fair, Mr.. Hoover says the citizens
and authorities of New York will
handle the matter.

HOROSCOPE.
Tuesday, October 20, 1918.

This is not an important day. &C
cording to the reading Of the stars.
The sun rules strongly for good,
while Jupiter il slightly adverse.
1t is a fortunate rule for the navy
and for shipping. The stars point
to many successes on the sea.
The sign that governs the waters
seems to indicate that many women
will cross the ocean.
This same star seems to fore
shadow long sojourns abroad for
many Americans after the war.
This is a lucky day for all who
seek to better their material well
fare. 1t should bring good luck to
those who seek positions.
Political candidates have a par
ticularly favorable guidance while
this confguration prevails. It is
not. however. promising for the am
bitions of women, although an un-
usual number viii be elected to
minor offices.
There is today a sway most en-
cOuraging to men in positions Of
distinction. Added honors are in
dicated.
For the President of the United
States shines a star that has BEEN
associated with Napoleon. Alexan-
der the Great and Washington dur
ing the years of their greatest
achievements.
Jupiter is in a place not altogeth-
er good for commerce. There ap-
pears to be an omen indicating jeal-
ousy OF competition that will affect
many interests.
This is a day in which t is wIse
to take account OF ones financial
affairs. Foresight is counseled.
There is a promising sway for all
financial enterprises connected with
the war. Hospitals and the Red
Cross have the kindliest stars to
protect them.
Persons whose birthdate il is
should be circumspect in all things.
THE year should be prosperous.
. Children born on this day may
BE quick-tempered and indiscreet.
These subjects of Scorpio usually
have many friends and enjoy much
success in life.
