Crown Save the Enamel of Your Teeth American Foodstuffs Said to Be in Demand. WHEAT SUPPLY SHORT Sugar Output Declared Only Keep ing Pace With Increased Need for Native Use. ROMl'T, May 2. (By the Associated Pros;--, t Albert B. Dennis, formerly American commercial attache at Rome, who is now invest i gating Eu ropean food conditions as special rep resentative of the department of com merce, has arrived here to attend a general meeting of the International Institute of Agriculture as American delegate. "Despite the liard times and pro gressive decline in the currencies of central Europe.'' he said today, "there is no lessen ing in t lie purchases of Overseas foodstuffs. Europe imported In eigiit months of tht present cereal year an excess of 40,000,000 bushels of wheat over the same period last year after an exceptionally fine native harvest. A good market for Ameri can wheat seems assured for at least a year, a cold late spring increasing consumption and postponing maturity of the next harvest, "Russia formerly sold abroad more than 150.000,000 bushels of wheat an nually, but now is an importing coun try. Overseas wheat will for some years continue necessary to fill this great vacuum n production. Export Capacity Hurt. "The sub-division of great estates among the peasants has seriously im paired the wheat exporting capac'ty of Roumania. Neither in acreage nor conditions does the growing wheat crop promise a harvest equalling that of last year; it seems that the demand for imported wheat is bound to strengthen. Certainly there is noth ing to warrant the belief that our foreign footstuffs trade is likely to decline. "Except for Poland, Czech o-Slo- akia and Hungary, no great prog ress Is taking place in the way of ex pansion of European agricultural re sources. In all European countries where beet root is grown successfully except England, Greece. Turkey a nd Norway, the recovery is un-expectedly alow. A year ago it was freely pre dicted that Germany, whirh before the war exported to England alone a million tons of sugar annually, would recover during the present season almost her former export strength. It now looks as though Germany would be able to supply orwly her own needs. ---I,ahr Shortage fanw, Beet growing makes an excessive demand on labor and German rural labor has been enticed from the farm to the city by the high wages of big factories. Italy, with abundant farm labor this season, is cultivating the beet heavily, but the production i not Iflkaty to do more than keep pace with the rapidly increasing consump tion Therefore, there Is no immediate danger of losing the European mar ket for American refined sugar. "Post-war consumption continued to rise, particularly tn Italy. A big Jump is expected in British consump tion if the proposed reduction in im port duties becomes effective. Eu rope is ret urn in g to almost normal livestock resourrew; therefore the market for imported meats Is de pressed. America, however, is suc cessful in pork products, namely, ba con and lard, in some of the most Important markets doing more busi ness than before t he war."

Mammas and papas : and aunties and grand paws were at Multnomah club yesterday afternoon and watched the 300 young girl dancers crown their lovely little queen and frolic about the two huge Maypoles. Three hundred young folk, from wee tod dlers who came as guests with sister Annie or Sue. to the big Sue her self, large enough and competent enough to do the dishes and maybe make a batch of biscuits. Not a lip stick, nor a powdered nose, nor a shaved eyebrow among the lot. and they bad m inded Mrs. Mauthe's ad monition and came dressed In simple girlish summery frocks. Pretty D:ite (Voted. They danced all sorts of pretty steps, point ing their toes or forget ting to point them, two-stepping archly, waltzing with graceful long slides and trotting sedately through an old polka step occasionally. And when they had crowned their queen p nd marched in twos and fours and sixes to dip a respectful knee before her throne, they pa i red off with the 300 boys who had been waiting round, self-conscious and important like the boys who people Briggs' car toons, and the festivities wound up in a glorious dance. The queen this year was little Miss Ji:anita Babbitt, a slender, animated young belle, who pursued her stately path to the throne us if she were elected queen to something or other every day of her young life. She was trailed by a charming little maid of honor, Mary Frances Finch, with a crown of roses on her curly head. Following her should have come the ex-queen, like Dowager Alexandra coming in after Q ueen Mary. But the little ex-queen of last year. Jean Plagemann, was ill. and so her maid of honor, Helen Peters, filled her place delightfully and crowned the new queen. The crown was a gor geous affair of cut-out paper like comes on valentines, and the queen's gown was silvery and quite what a Left to right, top row Page, Alice Morroir: ranld, Helen Petem: queen, Juanifa Babbitt; maid, Mary France Flneb.

A fasci nating page in satin breeches and cape was little Miss Alice Morrow, who carried the crown on a huge rose -decorated white satin pillow. Throne Honor of Blossoms. The throne was a veritable bower of blossoms and flags and pennants and greenery decorated the hall. Two Maypoles so tall as to reach way up into the rafters were so placed that the queen and her attendants could review them in comfort, and so could all the rest of us. Varicolored' rib bons wove pretty conceits while 24 four dashing young courtiers came to the throne and escorted the queen and her help to the ball. The courtiers were Champ Spencer, who led the grand march with the queen. John Givens, Bob Holman and Howard Root, who escorted the queen's at tendants, On of the delightful events of the programme was a solo dance by an exceedingly graceful little maid, Jane Friedlander. Appropriate incidental music was furnished by Miss Irene Campbell for the specialties, and an orchestra provided music for the dance later. O. C.

THE MACDO WELL CLUB presented in recital yesterday afternoon Mrs. Langdon Henry, soprano, Mis. Lawrence Bogle, pianist, and the Thalia Uiris' String Quartet, which is under the direction of Ted Bacon. The members of the quartet are Clara Stafford, first violin. Patsy Neilan, second violin, Marion Mustee. viola, and Prospera Foszi, violincello, Mrs. Henry and Mrs. Bogle are prominent Seattle musicians and have many friends in this city who took advantage of this opportunity to hear them in concert. Mrs. Henry has a voice and per sonality of great charm and sym pathy. These qualities give warmth and color to her songs and there is a richness, in the lower voice that Is most pleasing to the ear. Her songs in French and German were rendered in an artistic manner and were ad mirably suited to her voice. They in eluded the delightful "Bols Epais" (Lully); the aria "Comme en Reve Lointain," from the tent scene in the second act of Monna Vanna (Fev rier) ; "Verborgenheit (W ol f ) ; "Traum Durch die Damme rung" (Strauss) and "Rachem" (Manna Zucca). These numbers were sung with a keen musical appreciation of their beauties. "The Faltering Dusk" ( Kramer) and "A Memory" (Ganz) were inter preted with a note of dramatic inten sity. Special favorites with the aud ience were two songs by the Portland composer. Katherine Glen. "I Heard a Lark Sing and "My Love and I" (words by Helen Eakin Starret). Both are deKcate in sentiment and are writ ten by the composer in a melodious stylo that shows rare sympathy for the voice. As accompanist. Mrs. Bogle gave at all times splendid support to the solo ist Her piano tone is full and round and her interludes were solos in min iature. The string quartet was an interest, ing feature of the programme. These young women form a chamber-music group that has been organized a little over a year and they have as their ideal the study and performance of the best stringed quartet music. They showed a very fine training, exceptional time and a unified en semble in their playing of numbers by Hayden, Ole Bull, Dvorak, Svend son and, for encore, a quartet ar rangement of "Twilight." (Katherine Glen). Their phrasing is clear-cut and there is no uncertainty in the reading of their score. They have a good foundation for the study of one of the most advanced lines of musical thought, the literature for the stringed quartet. Their group seems to be formed of four very talented, clear-minded young musicians, each familiar with the technique of her Individual instrument. The concert was given before a large audience that filled the Mult nomah hotel ballroom and was -one of the most pleasing given by the MacDowell club during the season. He was taken to jail, where, he says, he was searched and then released. Mill Strike Brings Settlement. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., May 2. (Special.)
