BOTTB THE EVENING WEWB WKDXESDAV, MAY 21. 1010. WAR ON FAMINE JUST BEGINNING Hoover Says America Must Pro ; vide Supplies. NOW AT THE WORST PHASE Shipping Conditions Are Not Satisfac tory on Account of Strikes In Many Countries, and, as Result, There Is ' No Question That the Entire Amerl. can Surplus Will Be Absorbed En emy Countries and Neutrals Must Pay Cash. In the harvest year from August, 1018, to August, 1910, Europe must im port 20,000,000 tons of food muffs from overseas, and to meet this there Is available a total of about 35,000,000 tons, Herbert O. Hoover, chairman of the food section of the supreme eco nomic council sold In Paris. Shipping conditions are not satisfac tory on account of strikes In many countries and, as a result, there Is no question that the entire American sur plus will be absorbed. "We ore at the worst phase of the European famine that was Inevitable after this world war," Mr. Hoover said. The economic food council Is on top In the light against famlno und food distribution is organized to supply the affected nrcns In Europe outside of Russia, Mr. Hoover said. The Ameri can relief administration has organ ized the systematic feeding of the un dernourished children, numbering be tween 600,000 and 1,000,000. The United States will supply to Eu rope foodstuffs valued roughly at 12,500,000,000. Enemy countries and neutrals will pay cash for what they receive. Will Not Raise Wheat Price, The relief authorities are doing their best to control the effect of the largo demands on the American market Mr. ' Hoover said that a statement by him on the possible price of wheat had been misinterpreted. He had said that In view of tho demands of the world for food, the removal of price control with regard to wheut, sugar, pork products and cotton seed prod ucts would be dangerous to the Ameri can consumer. The control of tho pork was removed, nnd, Mr. Hoover said, had proved to be a disadvantage to the consumer, Mr. Hoover said he wished to empha sise that the control of the price of wheat would be maintained to the full extent of existing authority and mat the American consumer need not be alarmed that there will be a material rise In the price of that food essential. America will soil more wheat thnn she has, but the exports are being reg ulated to reserve a sufficiency for do mestic needs. Purchases Army Supplies. The American army stocks of pork products In France, moro than 00,000, 000 pounds, had been purchased by the relief council and should furnish a suf ficient supply of fats until harvest for liberated countries. Oermnny Is being supplied with fats without competing In tho American market for pork, and tho European draft on tho American pork Is limited to the neutral and allied countries. The administration Is purchasing In the United States only wheat, rye, flour, beans, somo rice, nnd vegetable oil products, and In addition, condensed milk and some other special foods for children. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT Both the Man and Woman Were Well Advanced in Years. Vlrglnlus O. Sounders, seventy-one years of age, eloped with Mrs. N. B. Bean, a widow, thlrty-nlno years old, to Clayton, Mo., whero they were mar ried. Saunders was formerly mayor of Webster Groves, and is a retired dry goods merchant. Saunders met Mrs. Bean about a year ugo when sho was visiting In St. Louis, and after sho left they corre sponded. Several months ago, Saun ders suys, Mrs. Bean returned to St. Louis and he proposed marriage. She accepted, but no wedding dutu was de cided upon. "It was a lovo match from tho start," Saunders told a reporter, "and wo were only undecided about the date. I met her at the stntlon, and feeling romantic, we decided to elopo to Clayton. Our friends will bo consid erably surprised to hear what wo have done." GETS HIS FATHER OUT Boy Shows Hla Savings Bank to the Judge. When Uurold Qorskl, twclvo years of age, entered Judge Boyer's court at Rvanston, 111., recently ho sounded llko a walking savings bank. Pennies, nickels and dimes Jingled merrily In his pocket. Harold sidled up to Judge Boyer: , "My daddy hns been arrested," he sobbed, "I don't want yon to do any thing to him. Here aro my savings. Please let htm go." Harold then dumped the contents of his pockets on Judge Buyer's desk. It totaled $8.87. "I won't tell on you," Harold whis pered as Judgo Boyer seriously re minded htm of the graveness of at tempting to bribe the court. Joseph Gorskt, Harold's father, was charged with violating a health ordi nance. He was released on probation. POISONS IN COMMON SALT Deadly Chemical Elements, When United, Form 8ubstance Beneficial to All Animal Life. When a native of the suvage tribes of Africa happens to find a piece of rock salt he considers himself most fortunate. Often he will Invite his friends to a party and serve this piece of salt as the refreshments. The guests seut themselves In a circle and take their turns at licking the choice bit, passing It around In much the same manuer as the Indians pas around their pipe of peace. Salt seems to be necessary for most forms of animal life. Cattle will travel for miles just to get a taste of It. Few persons realize when eating tills substance that It is composed of two deadly poisons, the metal sodium and the gas chlorine. Sodium Is one of the most active metals, while chlor ine Is a gas dangerous to breuthe even In small quantities. If a piece of so dium Is placed on water It will react violently. For this reasos It Is al ways kept under kerosene to keep It from reacting with the moisture In the air, and it Is always handled with tweezers, as It will cause a severe burn If allowed to touch the skin, espe cially If the hands are damp. The poi sonous nature of chlorine is generally known, as it was one of the first dead ly gases used by the Germans during the world war. When these two chemical elements unite each loses Its poisonous nature sod the salt which Is formed Is an entirely new substance, having none of the properties of either sodium or chlorine. Nevertheless salt is com posed of two desdly poisons, but chem ically combined we eat It every day, as It Is both harmless and necessary. MARK TWAIN "TURNED DOWN" Popular Writer's Report on City's Religious Condition Failed to Appear In Print. When Mark Twain was a reporter on the Virginia City Enterprise he was given an assignment to report the con dition of the churches in Gold Hill. The next day he turned in .the follow ing, which the managing editor de clined to print: "Your reporter had some difficulty In securing an Interview with the pas tor of the Baptist church. He found him pushing an ox cart on the dump pile of the Overman mine. He snld Ihut he was doing this not merely for exercise but for $3.50 a day. He snld that his clerical salary was nominally 60 per month, but the Irregularity with which it was not paid was very distressing. The butcher, he said, had been very kind to him, but his patience hnd limits, and lately when called upon for a beefsteak he had, In an ahseut-mlnded way, cut off a piece of liver. Ills congregation had dwindled to 14 hearers, and the col lection for the previous Sabbath amounted to but 40 cents. He had made one convert, but had been un oblo to baptize him, for the water company had refused to supply the wator except for cash In advance. "On the whole," reported Mark Twain, "the condition of the cause of religion In Gold Hill seems to leave vory much to be desired." The Man Who Overcame. Men with weak eyes will remember that Theodore Itoosevelt had weak eyes all his life and became a success ful hunter, an omnivorous reader and a keen naturalist. Men with defec tive hearing will remember that Thco dore Itoosevelt lost the use of one of his ears und could still distin guish tho calls of birds and lead a people magnificently. Men strick en with pain will remember that once Theodore Roosevelt worked at his correspondence until he fainted nnd tho couch on which he lay was drenched with blood. Cripples will hear the word that Theodore House- velt spoke when a physician told hhn In the last month of his life that he might be conHned to his chair the rest of his days, "All right! I run live that way, tool" The millions will remember the In spiring lender; but a few with ter rors to fuce will ulways cherish most the man who overcame. Iloruinu tlngedorn In Carry On. Ended With a Solo. It was Sunday morning In the choir of a large church. I was slllglug so prano In a quurtet. At the end of the selection I was under the impression that we were to sing "Amen," but, not noticing closely thut the other mem bers lu tli quurtet had seated them selves, I remained standing nnd started with the "Ahnien" ringing out in the silence of the church, without eveu the support of the organ. With the eyes of tho congregation all turned on me, I Bat down, amid the smiles of my fellow singers, wishing the floor might open up and swallow me. Chicago Tribune. Overcome Obstaoles. "Don't let obstacles or hardships worry you a goodly share of difficul ties and hardships have the ssme ef fect upon the right kind of young mnn ns blows have upon a piece of steel that Is being tempered. Setbacks train you to tight better. The 'Black Friday' panic of 1878 bankrupted me Just after I had made my first start In business, whon twenty-eight, and I well recall an older man then say ing to me, by way of consolstlon: 'Happy and lucky la the man who falls when he Is young.'
