Both the young fellows In the auto mobile were gentlemen of leisure. Rich old Uncle Jasper Thorpe had cared prodlgully for them, for 'they were his only near relatives In the world and he doted on them. They were flue, well behaved young men, tmt mill fuiioii into the rut of unevent ful club life, passing their time more comfortably tluui Industriously. "I've made up my mind that you will deteriorate into old bachelors," their kind, but Whimsical old relative hud suld one day, "unless you start soon to flx your attention each upon some estimable young lady," and then he gavo them one of Ids characteristic tulklngs-to, ending with a flat, an ulti matum, and a bonus fortune thrown In as a bait. They were to marry within the year. The first one doing so was to recolve uu extra $30,000 to start out with, the best equipped home that sum could buy. Just now the self-satisfied, light hearted young men were far more en grossed In their game of poker than In any serious thoughts as to their marital future, The splendid machine rolled on leisurely while they "filled their hands." rather captivated with the novel method of doing so without en ril s. It grew really interesting at the last draw was presented. Hartley was no gambler, but lie appreciated the ex citement of contest. He had three nines In his hand, n two and a seveu. He half guessed that his adversary was drawing to what In poker par lance was known as a "sequence." A light pretty machine Unshed by. An unwonted animation showed in his fnce. "Confound It 1" muttered Drake with a disappointed countenance, "my cal culations are broken. 1 had oue, two, three, four. I hoped for u five, drew a four and show only oue pair," "Five nines!" proclolmed Bartley with an agreeable chuckle. "You're conscripted and I'm the lucky one. I owe it to that little machine ahead, 48,270. That last nine saved me. Speed up, I want to see who my bene factor is." "Benefactress, you mean. It's a girl, lovely, too, a novice at the wheel, though. Thunder!" The exclamation was fervent. The sweet faced girl In the machine now directly aligned with that which Bnrt ley drove, had curved past the central line of safety, preparatory to turning a corner. Just then a speeding car circled into the main thoroughfare from the opposite direction. In a flash the quick eye of Bartley took In the situation. The coming car was a powerful one and glided directly for the smaller vehicle. Contact would absolutely crush the minor machine, while the one Bartley drove had a firm reslstunco power. The girl at the wheel saw her dan ger, set the brakes and Bartley half naiteu with a superb mastery of his machine. Then he shot In front of her and slowed again a barrier, a shield. Pale and trembling the young girl traced the maneuvre. Crash ! Both of the large machines had shut down speed, but they met almost squarely. The one who would have pounced down upon the helpless girl lost fender and lamps. The windshield of the one Bartley drove was shat tered to fragments. Drake sheltered his face with his urm. Bartley caught a shower of the flying debris, bringing the blood to a half dozen places on his face. "Fix up with that man," spoke Bart ley and he leaped from the machine. The girl In the small nuto was sway ing. He feared she was fainting. The street was becoming blocked. As he stepped Into the machine beside her she moved to the other seat. "You did that for me !" she said slin ply, and the tones, the glance of her grateful eyes thrilled this self-avowed avolder of womankind. "The address, please?" he said In masterful tone, threudlng his way out or tne massed machines and curious onlookers. "Hellevue Terrace 92," she told him. "You risked all that for me I" she said nguln, and admiration, loyal and true showed In her expressive face. "Why, see! you are bleeding." His coat sleeve was dripping. For the first moment he noted where a sharp splinter of glass had cut a deep gash across one wrist. "You must come into the house at once," persisted Rutli Devlin anxious ly.

Food Administration Points Out Only Solution Lies In Reduction of Con sumption and Elimination of Waste. The problem of supplying the allies with meat has devolved mainly on the United States and dally the burden is growing more onerous, according to a statement issued by the food adminis tratlon. War-tlmo demands have been so great that Europe has been making alarming luroads on its herds, with a consequent reduction In Its domestic supply. Since the war began there has been a decrease of 115,005,000 in the world's supply of meat-producing animals. Cattle Increased 7,090,000 In the United States, while the total world decrease was 28,080,000. Sheep decreased 8,- 000,000 In this country, while the world supply was diminished by 84,000,000. Hogs increased 6,275,000 In America, but the general supply decreased 82,- 425,000. Exports Chiefly to the Allies. During the year ended June 30, 1916, America exported 1,839,193,000 pounds of meat, compared with a three-year ante bellum average of 493,348,000 pounds. These exports went chleflj to tne nines, wnose capital stock of animals has decreased 33,000,000 head. 'Although the European countries have drastically reduced meat con sumption among war workers," says the statement, "this saving has been overcome by the greatly Increased de mands to supply men In the armies and shops, and women who have taken up physical labor. Millions of Individu als to whom fresh meat twice a week was a luxury are now, by necessity of their extreme physical labor, eat ing It twice daily. "The war has Injected Into nn al ready difficult situation a number of vicious conditions which are Jeopardiz ing tho ultimate animal product sup ply of the world. The production of fodder in Europe has been diminished by the diversion of productive labor to war and its import has been cur tailed by shortage in shipping and by the Isolation of markets by belliger ent lines. Meat Problem Facing America. The problem facing America not only is one of supplying the Immedi ate demand of the allies, but one which Is more far-reaching in its significance. As the war goes on there will be a con stant lessening of the capital stock of the world's food animals. Among our western allies the demand outruns farther every day the decreasing pro duction, and as shipping becomes further shortened by submarine de struction, further destruction of the herds must ensue." The food administration points ont that the only Immediate solution of the problem lies in reduction of con sumption and elimination of waste.

Unreasonable. Divorce Lawyer Your husband re fuses you the common necessities of life? Fair Client He even kicked about jrour retaining fee. Secretary Lane of Uncle Sam's de partment of the Interior calls attention to the response of the miners of man ganese to the country's need. "Modem steel making demands man ganese, said Secretary Lane, "and the shortage of a domestic supply of this ore hits been a matter of concern to those of us who wish America to be Industrially Independent. But now the war requirements for steel have been realized by the manganese op erators, for reports already received In the department of the Interior show that shipments of high-grade mangan ese during six months aggregate 28,345 tons or nearly 10 per cent more thau the tonnage for the whole 12 months of 1016, which amount in turn was three times the 1915 shipments. "The manganese situation therefore is most encouraging and the United States geological survey estimate for the whole year Is 80,000 tons of the hlgh-grsde ore. This, however, Is less then 20 per cent of the present large demand of the steel Industry. Yet It Is significant that the shipments of lower grade manganese ore likewise are record-breaking, the six months of 1917 considerably exceeding the 12 months of 1916, and the present rate of production promises an even larger touunge for the nuualnlug six mouths." It Is a mistaken notion that all of the money raised by the sale of Liberty Loan bonds which is to be used for war purposes Will be an eventual loss to the United States and Its people; that it is all to be spent for things used In the war or useless except for purposes of war. It Is well to remem ber that a great deal of the money raised by the sale of Liberty Loan bonds is to be invested in things that will be of great use and value to the nation when peace shall be declared. One thing that most people realize will be of value is that it Is going to put this nation In a state of prepared ness. While It Is hoped and believed that the end of the war will be the ending of all great wars, It will be a valuable thing to America to find her self at Its close prepared to enforce the Just decrees of peace. There may be a twilight zone between the close of the war and the . establishment of peace all over the world and prepar edness will place America In a position to have that voice In the world affairs that this nation (s worthy of. We know that voice will be for peace and Justice and freedom. Millions are to be spent in the con struction of merchant ships and these, at least those that escape destruction In war, will be a valuable investment. There will be a tremendous demand for merchant ships when peace comes and. whether the United States continues to own and operate this merchant ma rine or whether the ships are sold to private Individuals, the money In vested in them by the United States will be no loss to the nation. It may be a great gain to it. In the revival of foreign commerce, in the contest for foreign markets, the United States will no longer be at the mercy of for eign ship owners. We can do our own carrying trade and our commerce will have a fair chance in the foreign markets. Billions of this money raised by the sale of Liberty Loan bonds have been and are to be loaned to those European nations engaged in war with Germany. This Is no expenditure without return. It Is an investment and it Is nn invest ment that no one will say Is insecure. It will not only bring in a return in Inter est and n return of the principal when due, but It has brought to us a regard and friendship with those nations the value of which In dollars cannot be es timated. The war Is going to be expensive ; it is going to call for sacrifices on the part of the nation and on the part of the Individuals composing the nation. Much wealth is going to be shot out of the mouths of guns and cannons and much is going to be sunk at sea, but all of the money used for war pur poses is not to be a financial loss to the nation. America will emerge from the war not only with her honor and greatness and power Increased, but she will emerge better fitted for the strug gle of commerce when peace comes and much of the money spent for war purposes will be equally valuable if not more valuable in time of peace. BAD ROADS DELAY EXTENSION Make It Impossible to Give Rural Free Delivery to Many Communi ties, Say Postal Heads. Especial effort Is being made to In crease the function and scope of the rural free delivery service, say offi cials of Uncle Snm's post office de partment, hut desirable extension has been handicapped in many localities owing to the poor condition of the roads to be traveled and where local conditions preclude the expenditure of the necessary amount of money to ob tain the Improvements necessary to place the highways in a proper state of repair.

Of the many activities in which the Council -of National Defense and its advisory commission have been en-, gaged during the last two months in, the course of the council's work of Industrial organization for war, are these: The active direction and adaptation of the nation's railway facilities fori war purposes. The further development of sources of supply for all kinds of war muni tions and their component parts, from artillery and machine guns to various forms of motor transport. Unusual progress on a comprehen sive1 aviation program. Every material assistance to the war department in the construction of the new army cantonments. The adaptation and augmentation of electric communication lines, both telegraph and telephone. The procuring of leather and tex tile supplies of all kinds for the new armies. The co-operative development of lumber, copper, aluminum, steel and other raw material sources for the war needs of the government. Notable progress on many phases of the difficult labor problem. Extensive assistance in the con summation of the medical prepara tions for the care of the military forces of the country. Definite accomplishments In the ad justment of commercial conditions and methods to war needs. Work Is Outlined. The work of the council Is outlined In a statement authorized by W. S. Glfford, director of the coucil and its advisory commission. The statement covers the accomplishments of the or ganization between May 28, the date of the last report, up to the recent appointment of the new war industries board of the council. Mr. Glfford says: "It Is difficult to place on paper an adequate statement of the work of an organization like the council because so much of its most valuable and lm portant work is accomplished through Its functions of adjustment. It Is easy to point to the definite, concrete re sults obtained by the aircraft pro uucnon Doara, ior example, at cer tain stages of Its program for expedit ing the construction of the govern ment's great air fleet; or to point out the saving effected by the committee on supplies in securing from a group or manuracturers a price on govern ment clothing below that paid by the private wholesaler. Such accomplish ments as these are comparatively easy to make clear. "It Is not possible, however, to pic ture In black and white the personal equation; the accomplishment of a conference, for instance, which may result in smoothing out serious kinks In the war machinery, and whose effects may reach eventually through the whole governmental and industrial system alike. "Much of the work of the council and the advisory commission has necessarily been of the latter charac ter, and its full value can be known only to those Immediately in touch with It. "Yet there have been many very concrete and definite results of the council's work during the last two months." Will Win the War. After summarizing the work of the several founders of the organization, Mr. Gifford's statement continues: "Our nation possesses more produc ing resources than any other two na tions In the world. Organized as a producing machine, we shall win the war. Individual Initiative and self reliance are normally developed In a democracy to a higher degree than in any other form of government. Peo ples and institutions have grown under the spur of competition and freedom of action so that we are noted for our individual efficiency and enter prise. "An army obviously must be highly organized and subject to discipline. Individual efforts, no matter how great, must be organized so as to work for a common purpose If they are to be effective. "Not alone team work but a volun tary acceptance of discipline in the cause of national defense is impera tive. We do not wish to Prussianize America, but each of us must volun tarily submit to the rules end regula tions of organization In order that we may build up fighting Industries which, with their voluntary discipline. win sianu siue oy sine in efficiency wlth our fighting armies. "The time has come when we must sink the individual in nn organization of which the keynote will be the high est efficiency, the spirit will be pa triotic unselfishness and self-sacrifice, and the accomplishment will be the realization of democracy in the speedy termination of the war:" :.'."
