BIG JUMP IN
FRENCH PLANTING
Many Acres of Wheat Sown
Last Fall; Expect Good
Crops in Summer

Correspondence OF the
Associated Press France, without
a bumper" crop of corn to fall back
upon, is making brave effort to in
crease the yield of other foodstuffs
and there are now for the first time
signs that the effort is producing re-
suits.
Nearly a million more acres of
wheat were sown last fall than in
1916, according to recently completed
statistics. With ordinary good luck
this means nearly 2O.000.0O0 bushels
more of wheat. Spring seeding this
year may exceed that of 1917 by
nearly the same extent which will
bring the French wheat crop this
year up to forty million bushels more
than that of last year. The bread
card, taking effect January 2sth was
intended to save from food consump-
tion the million bushels required for
the extended seeding.

The decision of the French Food
Minister to issue cards regulating the
distribution of bread to three hum
dred grammes (about IL ounces a
day) is causing much comment.
Some criticize, others approve but
the consensus of opinion may be
summed up in the good natured re-
mark of a morning paper which says
that for one man who dies of starv-
alton there are a hundred who sue
cumb to Indigestion
Generally however, the press seem
to adopt very serious point of

a romance. She came to this country
when but three years old and lived
on the East Side, New York. Her pa
rents were poor and she had only the
opportunity this great country offers
to all adopted children - the public
schools.
After graduating from high school,
the young Rumanian earned enough
money by working in an office to take
lessons on the piano. Her teacher
soon realized the beauty of her voice
and advised her to concentrate on
singing.
One of the great vocal teachers of
New York became interested and rec
ognizing the possibilities in such n
limpid, though unframed soprano
voice, he offered to give her lessons.
Her friends made it financially pos
sible to devote all her time to the
study of music.
She had been studying but a short
time when there came a competition
at the Metropolitan Opera House, New
York, for a young soprano to create
the role of Sophie in Massenet's
"Werther." Without pull, absolutely
unknown, she entered the contest with
