 In statement given out here to- night by Herbert c. Hoover, direc- tor of the Inter-alled European food relief commission, warning is sounded against making any more loans to European countries. MT. Hoover declares that under no cir cumstances should further loans be made to foreign countries from the United States treasury
 Austria alone, he declared, is fac ing a food crisis. He states that there is a great deal of hysteria now prevalent on both sides of the At lantic that produces abnormal con- ditions that can only be agitated by the extension of government aid at this time. Whatever assistance is rendered by the United States to foreign countries, from this time should be confined to commercial re- lations and be given thru the normal business processes. he declared. The world, said MT. Hoover, needs to get away from the notion of government al help both internally and extern ally and get back to business.

WET ATTORNEY
 SAYS FIGHT IS
 NOT YET BEGUN
LEVY MAYER, LAWYER FOR THE LIQUOR INTERESTS, DECLARES FIGHT ON PROHIBITION HAS NOT REALLY WILL ATTACK AMENDMENT

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-(Pt-The liquor interests in this country have not given up hope according to Levy Mayer who is chief attorney for several of the breweries and big dis tilleries. Rather to the contrary, the lawyer states, the fight against national prohibition has not yet really started. The next move in the figh, will be an attack on the prohibition amendment to the constitution.
 In the state of Rhode Island two cases have been filed attacking the validity of the amendment and it Is probable that similar cases will be also filed in other states. Mayer, as well as other attorneys for the liquor people, believes that the amend mont will not hold and that 1t will eventually be declared unconstitu- tional.

MYSTERY BLAZE
 SUNDAY NIGHT
FIRE DEPARTMENT CALLED OUT TO EXTINGUISH FLAMES IN
 SWIMMING TANK

The fire department was called out Sunday night about 10 o'clock by an alarm turned in from the Nordale hotel following the discovery of a fire in the natatorium building on Front street between Lacy and Noble streets. The flames were extinguish- ed in a short time and before any extensive damage had been done. Fire Chief Gohres estimated that $35O will cover the entire loss.
 The origin of the fire is mystery. The building, which is owned by G. A. Vedin, is not occupied and as far as can be learned had had no fire in it since early last fall. The fire started in the rear of the building in the boiler room. It apparently started on the floor at a point near the wall and inside the building as the flooring was not scorched under heath the house. A thoro investiga- tion yesterday failed to reveal any clue as to how it originated.
 The alarm was turned in by Bust CT" Anderson who with his grand mother, Mrs. c. N. Creamer was walking down Front street opposite the building to the latter's home in Graehl. He saw a large volume of smoke arising from the rear of the building and turned in the alarm from the Nordale hotel, where the nearest telephone was located.

THE MINISTER AND CHILDREN

throughout America within the last live years where the absence of children in the congregation was the most startling and sensational fact in evidence. And on inquiry, have found that virtually no boys and girls are in the habit of at- tending the regular preaching services of most churches. I believe that no one fact is so fraught with serious menace to the church of the future as this fact of a childless church. and frankly believe that the ministry is almost wholly to blame for it.
 Our preaching is not simple enough It need not lack profundity because it is simple. We are too lazy to prepare messages which the child can understand. for it is . rule in arithmetic that if a preacher can prepare a sermon for grown up people in three days it will take twice as long to prepare one for young people. The most fruitful thing that minister's of this country could do would be to preach to their Sabbath schools six months in the year.

LUKE M'LUkE SAYS

It may be none of his business But 1t makes man mad to see an old worn-out mutt running around with a young, pretty girl. The world is growing better The low crowned, fried-egg Derby hat has gone out of style.
 Tell a girl she is getting Tuberculosis if you want to. But for Heavens S sake
 don't tell her that she is getting fat You may not know it. But when you are laughing at a man behind his back some other man is behind your back
 laughing at you. The honest working girl who is wear ing $lo.ooooo0 string of pearls knows
 that no one will ever imagine that they came from the 10-cent store We are not vindictive But we hope that a lot of the current fiction was as painful to write as it is to read. Too many men who can't tell wool from cotton will bet you that they can tell rye from bourbon. The first guy that comes along will, do for a husband. But a girl has to examine 4S samples before she can find waist that suits her. There Is an awful difference between a twenty-year-old wife and . wife twenty years old. A woman with a past makes 1t her business to study men. But an inno- cent girl keeps men busy studying her. 1 And maybe man would believe in Fairies if he didn't see so many of them every day.
