The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
us for brcadstuffS = demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime America
meat supply has been greatly
increased FOR some months TO
come by the unprecedented
shipping % market Of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each in
stead Of 2O3 pounds-the nor
nal.
The United States Food Adj
ministration, endcavoring to ad.
just the international food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use Of meat and at the same
time asked for smaller con-
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.
In altering its food conserva-
,lon program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is Of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem, both in overseas shipping
and in Americas ove1burdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the American people fully

ton that they may know def.

Joseph Emmett O'NeiIl and Walter

former was Of a wealthy family, which
owned great ranches that reached
across the plains into the Rocky noun

families lived in the same block In
Fort Collins, and when school days
were over and Marion became Miss
Palmer, both young men became suit
ors for her hand.
Walter Stone became a bank clerk
and was ambitious to rise in his pro-
fession. O'Neill, whose father had
died, came into possession Of the fam
lily fortune and the management of the
ranches. The race was neck-and-neck
for Miss Palmer's hand.
OF course, in the nature Of things,
that state Of affairs could not go on.

FRENCH HERO OF THE AIR

Lieutenant Fonck had only just
left the region of the airdrome when
he encountered an enemy squadrilla.
He drove straight at them, opening
fire with his machine gun, and shot
down two Of the Germans. He then
went after a third machine and sent
It crashing to earth.
FOnck returned to the airdrome to
take on more gasoline and to rest be-
fore going out for the second patrol.
On this patrol he met another SQUAD

the ground, all within five minutes.

CHAMPION OF BABIES

In all the cities Of America there

baby. And In all the cities but one
the landlord is usually the winner.
Babies are not wanted in modern flats.
But one city official, James f. Gan
non, Jr., commissioner Of revenue and
finance In Jersey City, has been nosing
about in the crevices Of the law and
has discovered a way Of assuring to
the baby its happy home. He has
already opened fire on the baby-shy
landlords of the city and dared them
to put another infant out on the
streets. Moreover, he offers his plan
free of charge to all other cities, with
the assurance that they can similarly
make use of it to protect Americas
next generation. Commissioner Gan
non admits that the landlord is within
his technical rights In choosing whom
ever he likes for his tenants. But the
city has technical rights, too. And he
says to the landlord: every well, IL

The junior senator from Indiana has a
sticking power that equals that Of the
proverbial bulldog.
When New gets behind a war
measure he stays behind it until 1t is
put through. AS one Of the strongest
advocates of universal military service
he has brought the subject to the at
tention Of the senate almost daily,
despite the fact that at times 1t has
seemed almost hopeless.
Tucked away in a seat beneath the
galleries, Senator New Is not often
seen, but he is heard. He is quick
to his feet whenever promise for ac-
ton opens up, and he never leaves the
chamber until his fight is disposed Of.
When the Spanish war broke out
Harry New was quick to get into the
service. His service during that war
gave him an insight into military af-

fairs which has served him in good stead during the present crisis. Senator
New is young for his age and comes from indianapolis where he used to
engage in newspaper work. He is part owner of a paper now and gets back
to his desk in the editorial rooms whenever his services are not needed in
Washington.

SCULPTOR WHO RAISED A ROW

Gutzon Borglum, though a dis
tlnguished sculptor, probably attracted
more attention to himself by his accu-
satons against the members of the old
aircraft production board than he ever
did by his art work. Selected by his
friend, President Wilson, to find out
why the airplane program had col
lapsed, he asserted he had found plain
evidence Of in%competeney, graft and
prO-German influences. Those involved
came back with counter-charges inn
pugning MI. Borglum's dlsinterested-
