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."

the streets.
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

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

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. Mauthe, who is

Orpheum matinee today, i3-23-iO-Ad.
BY OLIVE NBAL MONTEITH.
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.
