.EUROPE'S NEEDS
FOR FOOD TOLD
Huge Import Necessities Are
Estimated by Herbert
G. Hoover.
BY HERBERT c. HOOVER.

PARIS, June A preliminary sur
rey of the import necessities Of Europe
except Russia shows hat the area will
need 700, 900, 900 bushels of wheat and
rye at a minimum or $50, 600, 900 bushels
as a possible maximum, Herbert G..
Hoover, the head Of the allied relief or.
ganization. said in a statement issued
yesterday. The export surplus Of wheat
and rye from the larger exporting
countries indicate that the needs OF
Europe ran be met. Mr.. Hoover esti-
mates the exports of the United States
at 470, 900, 900 bushels.
Through our organization and in CO.
operation with the various govern
ments," he said, I'VE have completed a
preliminary survey OF the food pros
poets of Europe and the import necessi-
ties, outside of Russia, for the harvest
year beginning Aug, !, and the worlds
supplies available to meet these needs.
W estimate the total prospective
European yield of wheat and rye out
side Russia as of May i, after deduct
ing seed. at 1850, GOO, 900 bushels. This
indicates a crop Of about N per cent Of
pre-war normal The pre-war con-
sumption. outside of seed. was about
$500. 600, 900 bushels, indicating A net
import of about $50, 00n, 900 bushels OF
consumption were normal next year.
The somewhat diminished populations
and the diminished buying power mi)i
tate against q full normal consumption.
but the least possible consumption with
the maintenance of public health we
estimate at 1850, 900. 900 bushels, or an
import on a minimum basis Of about
700, 600, 900 bushels.
The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-06-04
Restrict Consumption.

THE consumption will necessarily he
10 a great degree a factor of the finan-
cial~ .recuperation and ability to pay for
imports and is also Influenced by the
tendency to eat more bread and less Of
the more expensive meat and fats. Re-
struction of consumption win require
continuation of the rigid control of the
distribution. People everywhere are
sick of rations and every state will
make a supreme effort to get from I'M
der this blight. Some countries, there
fore, will get away from the minimum
so that an import demand of $50, 000, 900
bushels II possible. q
The present stocks and crop condi-
tions in the larger exporting countries
would indicate that there should be in
the coming harvest year an export sur
plus Of wheat and rye of from $40, 000,-
600 bushels to 900, 900, 900 bushels, but OF
this other countries than Europe re-
quire about 100, 900, 900 bushels, leaving
the supply of from 40. GEO, zoe bushels 10
$40, 600, 600 available for Europe.
The consumption in the United
States has increased to an extraordi-
nary degree In the year. From the 1918
crop Of rye we will export about 49,
000, 600 bushels, and as the 1919 crop
promises at least 200, 000. 900 bushels
larger than 1918 1t seems that we can
export at the present rate of consump-
ton about 470, 600, 900 bushels. The min
imum export surplus from Canada, Ar
g%entlna, Australia and minor countries
may be estimated at 400, 0n0. 900 bushels,
while Russia and India may be consid-
cred out OF the export list mex year"

penses, Director General Hines, of the
railroad administration, told the house
appropriations committee today, He is

administrations revolving fund for the
remainder of this calendar year, de-
clared that while wages Of railroad EN-
ployes had been increased 81 to SO per
cent during government control they
now were only reasonable and fair"
He added he could see no prospect OF
reducing them.

SATURDAY. JUNE n, 1918.
Copyright, 1919, by the Mcclure News

This is read as an unimportant day
in planetary direction. According to
astrologers, the sun is strongly adverse,
while Neptune rules kindly.
The stars seem to f~oreshadow a pro-
longed period Of stress for men and
women In positions of authority. They
will be subjected to harsh criticism and
oftentimes to unjust judgment.
The sun is In an aspect detrimental
to the interests of all persons who rule
whether in government or In business.
There is a sign making for an access
Of curiosity concerning public affairs.
A tendency to uncover whatever Is hid
den will cause many Investigations;
Congress continues under a rule Of
the planets that will encourage bitter
discussions, party discussions and sem
sational events.
Today should be fortunate for all
whose professions or vocations demand
foresight, for Neptune is in a place that
is said to increase intuition and impsrt
unusual vision.
There Is an aspect believed to indi-
cate great profit in oil and excitement
concerning it, owing to some extension
of its use that will greatly increase de-
mand for II.
Religion will come much to the fore
in the public consciousness and there
may be many s~ectarian controversies.
Old creeds may be subject to revision
and new activities will employ the en-
| ergies of church folk.
immortality will appear to increase
greatly during the summer months aud
reformers will agitate problems of seri-
Gus import to the life Of the nation.
Persons whose birthdate 1t 10 may
have anxiety in business matters during
the coming year. They should take
care of the health.
Children born on this day are likely
TO be proud and self.centered These
subjects OF Cancer should bs carefully

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
THE BLESSING OF POVERTY.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
The Worlds Highest Paid Woman Writer.

The one thing about poverty that The
poor woman finds it harder 70 endure
than everything else combined, Is the
thought that she cannot give her chill
dren the advantages that rich people
can give theirs.
The sacrifices, the priyations, the
anxieties, the labor that are the lot
Of the poor, she can bear for herself
with philosophy and resignation, but
when she sees her boy forced into the
ranks OF the toilers at an age when
other boys are starting off to college,
and when she thinks OF her daughters
having to stand behind counters instead
OF pouring tea at fashionable func-
tions, the iron OF poverty enters her
soul.
II Is , pity that these mothers cam
not comfort themselves by realizing that
wealth is far ~oftener a curse than a
blessing to the young-that, indeed, II
is only the most exceptionally we'll
balanced boy or girl, with an extra
ordinarily strong character, who is no

money.
