.HUNGE Z
~ THOMAS srokIs
b. THOMAS I. sTokIs

Victor Hugo once built novel embracing the
whole problem Of society about loaf Of bread.
A conversation at recent London meeting Of
representatives. Of our country, Great Britain,
Canada and the liberated nations Of Europe to
consider the European food problem indicates
that the simple loaf of bread still may have much
to do with society and its future in Europe.
The Belgian representative spoke up to say that
his countrys ALLEGATION Of wheat could be raised
from 100000 tons month to 10000 tons, bread
could be taken off the ration list. Nothing that
could happen, he declared, would give such
psychological lift to his people as to remove bread
from the ration list. The same would be true else.
where in Europe.
Such small thing. Yet how powerful in its
effect Just to be able to walk into store, as We
do here, and buy loaf of bread without standing
in line for the daily ration. And only small thing
necessary to accomplish it-l0,O00 more tons Of
wheat month.

Circus Comes Back to Capital
With Its Own Postwar Problems

Big red balloons bloSSomed today
for the first time since the war under
the white canvas Of the biggest Of
big tops as the circus got under way
for six-day stand.
Men who a year ago were sweating
it out on Okinawa or waiting for the
boats to bring them home from
Europe swung again from the flying
trapeze.
Midgets-more than a score of
them-who left the circus to weld
in the wings of bombers were trotting
again around the green sawdust
track of the circus and fighting it
out in the clown fest of the bar
gain SALE"
On the performers side of the
cook shack again came the babble of
foreign tongues. OF the foreign acts
imported since the wars end only a
few of the performers could speak
any English at all
Reconversion Not Complete.
These were the sights and sounds
Of Ringing Brothers, Barnum &.
Bailey Circus in the postwar world
but-like everywhere else-recon-
version is nowhere near complete
for the show that today began a six
day engagement at Benning road
and Twenty-sixth street NE, with
performances each day at 2:15 and
|8:15 pm.
Two-thirds of the hundreds of
performers and show hands who
went to war or the war plants have
returned, but the circus is still suf-
fering from a manpower shortage
and the draft.
AS one of the bosses explained it,
Were missing the 18-year-olds.
The draft swallowed them up. The
kids used to join up as hands to see
the country with the circus, but we
haven't seen them for a long time.
Do you think they're going to start
drafting the kids again?"
The manpower shortage got so
acute when the show made its first
move under canvas from Philadel-
phia to Washington over the week
end that candy butchers" had to
pitch in and help pull down the
