 Disarmament Meeting

ROME, Feb. 24-"Everybody has put theiT cards on the table at this conference" said Commander Hodge of Great Britain, secretary of the naval disarmament conference, to the Asso- ciated Press today.
 We all have learned something" he added. I've know just where we all stand, and for that reason this meeting is bound to bring good results on the question of limitation of armaments.
 For instance, take Russia. There was great problem on which we all were at sea. But we heard the Russian viewpoint frankly discussed by the Rus sian representative, we offering our counter viewpoints. Then, arriving at some basis, everybody has learned the other mans case. l am sure this feel ing prevails throughout the whole com mission "';
 Commander Hodge refused to give any of the tonnage figures discussed. saying that all the members of the commission were sworn to secrecy un- til the meeting ends.
 The delegates today took a rest.

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The dock strike which has tied up the trans port of food supplies has not affect ed English hot house strawber- ries, which travel as registered mail, and are priced wholesale at three shfllings an ounce.
 The berries are hired out as table decorations by the fashionable caterers. It is social crime for guests to eat these delicaies. They must be content with wondering how many banquets strawberry should grace without losing it's bloom, and what is it's ultimate fate.

THE FACTORY AND THE
FAMILY

When Mrs Ehmann was widowed.
there was obviously nothing to do ex-
cept to have her son leave home Ter
some job that would keep himself and
the family going. San Francisco was
the nearest city to the half-deserted
mining town of Oroylle where the
Ehmanns lived So to San Francisco
the boy went. A wholesale hardware
store put him on as a travelling sales
man, and the family was-though not
by too wide margin--saved from
perjury.
On a trip home the boy gazed up az
the neglected olive trees on the hlll.
side, Had some queer ripe olives to
eat the other day." he remarked cas-
ually. Tasted good, too But they're
imported all the way from Spain. SO
they cost too much for NE to bring
you some You might try picking
these"
From his remark grew a trip across
the bay to the university next time he
was in the city. There, apparently the
only place in California, was fled
away recipe for picking ripe olives.
Mrs. Ehmann found an empty keg or
two, which for lack OF room indoors,
she had to prop UP under the house
porch on the sloping mountainside.
When her son came home, she opened
jar of ripe olives. "Um-m,' he said
judlcially good, but not quite as good
as those imported fellows"
TRY these said his mother hold
ing cut another open jar. Il thought
I'd experiment bit with that recipe

the boy. Can you do It againT
oh yes" said the woman who
loved her kitchen, 1--WE kept d copy OF
just what l did. But youn Ike this

So did the trade when he began to
peddle Ehmann's olives on his route.
So, gradually, did the rest of the
United States, as the keg under the
porch grew into factory that put
money into the pockets Of 0rOvilo
