Once outside the station they soon
found a taxicab and were whirling along
Forty second street toward Broadway.
Neither Frances nor BALM noticed an
other cab that followed almost at their
rear wheel that had left the station only
a few minutes after their own convey
lance had rolled out from under the cab

This second car was somehow differ

Humorists' Sorrows

From the Review
Literary success consists largely in
the establishment of balance between
expectation and fulfillment Reduced
expectation, increased fulfillment-
these are the instruments of victory.
The trouble with a book that avows
its intention to be humorous is that it
arouses continuous expectation in re-
lation to point in which fulfillment
must be intermittent and occasional

overflow the lower floor of the main
| building show what diversification has
done for Pike county. A drawing card
| in this department was an old fashioned
spinning wheel, on which spinning was
being done by an experienced hand,
while casrding was also illustrated. The
school exhibits upstairs, though not as
large as usual, were of excellent material.

LACK OF CLOTHING
AMONG EUROPEANS

washington, March ..25.-Lack of
clothing in the liberated countries
of Central Europe is regarded by
Herbert Hoover, European relief
commissioner, as fully as serious as
the shortage of food In a cable
gram yesterday urging the Ameri-
can people to contribute literally to
the collection of clothing being
made this weekly the American
Red Cross, Mr.. Hoover said in some
of the war devastated countries a
considerable portion of the popula-
tion was unable to leave their
homes because of insufficient cloth
ing while newborn babies were
wrapped in paper because cloth was
not available.
Illness, sickness and DEATH"
Mr.. Hoover in his cablegram, "are
directly attributable to a condition
which is unimaginable to anyone
who has not seen it. The hospitals
are without bandages and the pa
| tients are often dressed in rags. In
| Serbia newborn babies are wrap
ped in paper for want of the neces-
sary clothing. Men, women and
children insufficiently clothed and
barefooted in the coolest weather
are a common sight in Rumania.
| 81 cannot urge the American peo-
pie too strongly to give from their
| plenty for the relief of suffering and
privation in the liberated territories
undergone by people who, for the
| most part, were with us in a great
cause and who have suffered from
their devotion to that cause far
more than the American people,
