HE Harvard-Yale football
game was on at the sta

of the Sound Absorber was
shortly to be on.

Waiting ExpectantIy.

close to the orchestra. During the
second act one of the conspirators
leaned toward the millionaire, when,
az previously arranged, they all turned
on the absorbers suspended over their
vests, and endeavored to whisper.
"They can't imagine what's the mat
ter" But the joke was on him, for he
could not hear his own voice, and Mr..
Gazukes could only guess at what he
meant.
A trio behind the footlights was
waiting expectantly for an introduc-
tion to their song. The conductor, who
at first was quietly waving his baton
and indicating for the first violin to
commence, then looked angrily at him
and nodded his head wildly to go on.
People were surprised. Although
those in the front seats could see the
bows passing over the instruments,
there was no sound. The leader of
the orchestra then indicated for the
drummer to drum. The veins on his
temples stood out and his hair seemed
to rise from his forehead, while his
spectacles slid along his nose to the
furthest distance from their proper
position. Now there was consterna-
tion that, while he seemed to be giving
orders, no results were Forthcoming,
and, not understanding, the audience
was getting restless, looking around.
Harvard's night at the theaters-
when she wins-are dreaded perhaps
as much by conductors as by the act
ors, who know that Interruptions may
be expected at the most inopportune
times, and, awakening to the fact that
this was some joke, the conductor COM
rlenced to scan the audience.
All this had taken but few mo-
ments, although the time seemed an
eternity to the men who occupied the
entire second row. Already one Of
the chorus girls was "on," and they be-
gan to fear the partial obstruction Of
the persons in the front row would
not be enough to shield them from the
scrutiny of the actors. Involuntarily
they drew their coats together and
shut off the batteries. The millionaire
rather sheepishly nudged the man next
to him, but he was enjoying to the
utmost his diabolical plan.
When things went smoothly again,
the star improvised: "This was no
fancy of Nancy's, neither was it a
fancy of ours"
Hon. William Gazukes then whis-
pered to the inventor: II am convinced
of the satisfactory working Of the
marvellous sound absorber."

cannot prevent the creation Of noises,
but we can in great measure stop
them from annoying us.
Not caring to attract attention, the
men had hooked the plates across their
inner coats at the chest, hanging
them from the front edges of their
Overcoat sleeve holes, and allowing the
flaps of their coats to hang out and
hide them from the side view. The
batteries which were to set the fans
in motion were in an inner pocket Of
each coat.

The Crimson had emitted in one
roar "Rah rah rah! Rah rah rah! Rah

these orders will be directed to the
maintenance of the common object
namely, the sterilization OF the price
OF live hogs so as to secure as far as
IL is possible fair returns to the pro.
Queer and the insurance of an ade.
quate future supply.
These foreign orders are placed
upon the basis of cost of hogs to the
packers.
AS the result of long negotiations
between this body and the Packers
Committee, representing the As to SO
packers participating in foreign or
ders together with the allied buyers
all under the craftsmanship of the
Food Administration, the following
undertaking has been given by the
packers:
Gin view of the undertakings on
the part of the Food Administration
with regard to the co-ordinated pur-
chases of pork products, 1t is agreed
that the packers participating in
these orders will undertake not to
purchase hogs for less than the fol-
lowing agreed minimums for the
month of November. that is daily
minimum of $3.50 per hundred
pounds on average of packers droves.
excluding throw-outs. "Throw-outs
are to be defined as pigs under 1870
pounds, stays, boars, thin sows and
skips. Further, that no hogs of any
kind shall be bought, except throw
outs at less that S16.50 per hundred
pounds. The average of packers
droves to be construed as the average
of the total sales in the market of all
hogs for a given day. All the above
to be based on Chicago.
The ability of the packers to carry
out this arrangement will depend on
there being a normal marketing Of
hogs based upon the proportionate
increase over the receipts of last year
The increase in production appears
to be a maximum of about Is per
cent. and we can handle such an in
crease.
IF the producers of hogs. should
as they have in the past few weeks,
prematurely market hogs in such in
creasing numbers over the above it is
entirely beyond the ability of the
packers to maintain these minimums,
and therefore. we must have the CO.
operation of the producer himself
to maintain these results. 1t is
physical impossibility for the capacity
Of the packing houses to handle
similar over-fiood of hogs and to find
a market for the output The pack
ers are anxious to cooperate with
the producers in maintaining a sta
of price and to see that
producers receive a fair price for
heir products"

Use Troops II Necessary.

In regard to the holding of the
American troops in Europe pending
the work of restoration in the Central
powers it was authOritatively said to-
day that there is hope, of course.
that in Germany and Austria as well
the home military forces will be able
to cope with any situation tina. may
develOpe. In other words, il should
be understood that il will not be the
policy of the United States and the
Allies to send large military forces
into Germany and Austria for the
purpose of occupation unless il shall
seem absolutely necessary to do so.
Under the terms of the armistice
with Austria certain parts of Austria
arc 20 be occupied by the allied troops
regardless of whether there shall be
disorder or not and il is well under
stood that the same provision appears
in the armistice with Germany.
In any event it was said today, the
people of the United States should I'M

force will remain in Europe for
months to come, even though peace
shall come without delay as "A result
