Joseph Conrad Described by 10 Davidson

When he has written page longhand
his wife typewrites it. He writes at ell
hours and when he finishes page he Is
eager to see how it looks in print right
away. dare say his wife has had re-
quest to copy page at 8 A. M. It
wouldn't be surprising.
ellis wife, Mrs. Conrad-Je ssie-is q
remarkable woman. Conrad is her baby.
She looks after him, talks Of him in the
most loving and good humored way-re-
CARDS him, 1 dare say, as the greatest gen.
Jus in the woodland I'll not be the one
to dissent from that point of view. She
is as protecting in her care of him as
anything implied in the "reminiscences.
He is man of imaginary ills. Sometimes
he thinks many things are the matter with
him-rheumatism, &c. He may tell you
about his ills. He probably will. If he
does you'll surely have a special remedy
and he'll try it. His room is full Of the
bottles he has tried to the despair of his
wife. In this particular, it seems, she
lacks control; for Conrad will have his
special remedies. Moreover, with three
servants in the house he won't eat unless
his wife cooks for him. The maids may
cook for everybody else, but not for Con-
rad; his wife does that. Always with
good humor. She is short and plump and
has rare good humor.
"Conrad is not a man to 60 to town
much. If you want to see Conrad you
go where he is; he's great man, he's in
teresting and people are always going out
there. 1t was with quick smile of
amiable humor that Mrs. Conrad remarked
one day in an enlightened manner: You
know they say in town that Conrad lives
in the country with his cookp
"Conrad takes great delight in his boys.
One is in the navy. The other is John,
youngster He was nine when I knew
him; and the father found great amuse-
ment in anecdotes they tell Of John. John
came home from a neighbours one day
and said, Mamma, isn't it too bad father
didn't write the Biblef When his mother
asked 'Whyf he said: Because then it
would be on everybody's table and would
have been through SO many editionsp
dare say the notion was particularly
striking for Conrad for other reasons
than the youngsters notion that his
fathers authorship would have increased
the circulation of the Bible. Appreciation
of Conrad was none too fast in coming
and there was time when there were not
three maids in the house.
"At the age of eight Conrad's John
saw Quo Vadis' in the moving pictures.
When a striking figure in that presenta-
ton came upon the scene John exclaimed,
Mamma, mamma, who's thatif She told
him that the figure was Christ. Whop
he asked. When she told him that the
man was Jesus he cried, oh, yes, know
now. But didn't recognize him by his
sunamev
Besides being an author Conrad is
father. You can say he's like all fathers

OLD SAYING SLIGHTLY MIXED

the woman who has social secretary
and whose daily job is Calling" to the
tune of tea and waters. IAN after
noon," says the bOurgeoisie, who takes
along her knitting and sits down to

some, at all depends upon the call.
On some occasions and with different
people we stay longer than Others"
But Jack Robinson's calls never
varied. He never stayed long enough
TO wear out his welcome. In fact hard
~ had he been announced. hardly had
the servant who admitted him spoken
aloud his name than he was gone.
So, as you see, before you can say

HALTS SHIPPING

NO MORE AMERICAN VESSELS TO
BE SENT ACROSS BECAUSE
OF STRIKE.
The Congestion of Ports Resulting
from Strike and the British Bunker
Coal Order Stops Sailings of
American Craft.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in American
ports, SO far as it concerns shipping
board vessels with cargoes consigned
to ports of the United Kingdom, is at
standstill because of the strike OF
British railway workers.
Suspension of the sailings of all
vessels under its control To ports OF
England, Scotland Ireland and Wales
was announced Monday by the ship
ping board through the making public
of an order issued late Saturday night
when the railroad strike became a GER
tainty.
The shipping board, it was explain
ed ordered sailings suspended follow
ing receipt of Information from its
representatives in England as TO con-
ditiOns in the ports there and after
the issuance of the British order pro-
hibiting the furnishing of bunker coal
to any ships other than outbound Brit
iSh vessels.
While shipping board vessels allo-
Gated to the United Kingdom trade
constitute only about one-half of the
American tonnage engaged in that
trade, the congestion of ports result
ing from the strike and the British
bunker coal order are expected to stop
eventually should the strike continue,
the sailings of all American craft 10
the British isles.
Shipping board officials refused to
comment on the effect the suspensions
could have on the gradual accumula-
ton and resultant congestion, and at
the railroad administration it was said
that each aspect of the situation would
be dealt with when it arose.
Sailings of British vessels from
American ports to ports of the United
Kingdom have not been suspended, but
! the shipping boards order would indi-
cate that such step was being COM
templated even on the eve OF the
strike.

FOOD REGUL ATIoNs IN ENGLAND
Estimated There is Fourteen Weeks
Food Supply Available.


London.-This city today faces more
strict rationing than for year. Reg
ulatiOns which were winked at even
before the armistice, when supplies
started coming in in large quantities,
today were dlamped down hard on all
kinds of meats and butter and sugar.
Cured meats, which were only slightly
rationed during the war, have been
placed in the same category as other
meats. Fish was n u placed under the
rationing edict, but the lack of trans
portatiOn is affecting the supply.
1t is roughly estimated that there Is
a fourteen weeks food supply in the
country, If it is conserved. Restaur-
ants have eliminated butter from their
menus and restricted bread to one roll
per meal. The familiar miniature war
steaks are again in evidence.
