Hoosier Vagabond
DANA, Ind. April 14 —My father met me at the train in Indianapolis. When we shook hands there Were no tears in his eves, and I was glad. When we drove up the lane to the farmhouse my Aunt Mary came rushing out onto the front porch. And she did not ery And 1 was glad. And then the dog Snooks came running up. but she was timid and afraid as though she could not make up her mind. There seemed no life in her, and she was sad and lost. The little dog Snooks was the only one who let on, and her loneliness cut me as deeply as though she had shed tears. For Snooks spoke in her wordless aimlessness the void that my mother left behind her when she went away. One drear evening in London, Just at dusk when outlines become soft and begin their slow blending with the final blackness of night. 8 friend and I started out to dinner. We were walking down the Strand, brushing past the late pedestrians hurrying for home before blackout and bombers could catch them. We had gone about two blocks when we heard hurrying footsteps behind us. We turned, and saw that it was a little bellboy from my hotel The lads name was Tom Donovan, and he was the one who had showed me my room on that first strange night months before when I arrived in waitorn London. I had always been fond of him, {or his face was so bright and eager, and his manner so nice. and all his little actions so thoughtful. “This telegram just came for you sir,” he said. “T thought maybe I could catch you.” I thanked him and he started on back. There was barely light enough to see. I stepped over to the curb, out cf people's way. while I tore open the telegram and read it. What is it?” my friend news from home?” "Read it,” I said, and went caught up he said “I'm sorry,” and toward Leicester Square as though nothing had happened. The London night grew quickly darker around us, and we spoke no more as we walkea It was the cablegram that told me that my mother, far away in Indiana, had come to the end of her life,
Recollections of Long Ago
That night in London, back in my room alone, :f seemed to me that living is futile, and death the final indignity. People live and suffer and grow bent with vearning and bowed with disappointment, and then they die. And what is it all tor? I do not know, I turned off the lights and pulled the blackout eurtains and went to bed. Little pictures of my mother raced across the darkness before my eyes. Pictures of nearly a lifetime. Pictures of her at neighborhood square dances long. long ago when she was young and I was a child. Pictures of her playing the violin, Pictures of her doctoring sick horses; of her carrying newborn lambs into the house on raw spring days

I could see her that far day in the past when she drove our first auto—all decorated and bespangled— in the Fourth of July parade. She was dressed up in frills and she won first prize in the parade and was awfully proud. And one midafteinoon when 1 was 9—the frst day I ever drove a team in the fields all by myseif. She made many trips to the field that day, to bring me bread with butter and sugar spread on it—and to make sure I hadn't been run over by the harrow. I could see her, there in the London darkness, as she came out toward that Indiana field more than 30 years ago. The sirens sounded and the groan-groan-groan of the engines came, and the far guns began to roll their symphony like the sad distant thunder on a hot prairie night. I could see her on bitter winter days in the old familiar woolen hood, with her nose red from cold, and wearing a man’s ragged coat fastened with a horse-blanket pin. I could see her as she stood on the front porch, crying bravely, cn that inorning in 1918 when I, being vouthtul, said a tearless goodby and climbed lightly into the neighbor's waiting buggy that was to take me out of her life

BEYOND THE ITALIAN FRONTIER. — The slow strangulation of Italian economy by British seapower comes as no surprise. But with industrial production roughly 50 per cent off in a year and with the peasants and workers lacking spaghetti and olive oil, something more than the the British blockade is at work.

For vou need only have seen little Tom Doncvan in faraway London wretched at her passing, or the loneliness of Snooks after she had gone, or the great truckloads of flowers they sav came from all over the continent, or the scores of Indiana youngsters who journeved to her both in life and in death because they loved her, to know that she had given a full life. And received one, in return.

Italy covered the 1938, which is a normal period. The impressive thing about Italian imports is that they came from the British and French Empires or from neutrals bevond the Suez, Gibraltar and the Dardanelles.

munist Russia, Hitler has drafted skilled Italian labor for service in German factories, which more than anything else has brought a shutdown of factories in many parts of Italy with resultant economic hardship. In the past year Hitler had already taken 50,000 agricultural and 60,000 industrial workers from Italy. In the first week of the effective occupation of Italy by Germany at the turn of the year Hitler called for 315,000 industrial workers. They are telling their wives and children goodby for indeterminate periods and going off in sealed trains for unknown destinations. A laborer only knows that to refuse means to go to prison, This is what Hitler demanded through his economic lieutenant, Dr. Karl Clodius. In return he continues to ship Italy a million tons of coal a month and promises to double the shipments of iron and steel. And well Hitler may, for the Italian factories will now be German-controlled, in part German-owned and wholly geared to German needs. A shortage of raw material, because of the blockade and German control of Italian factories because of that shortage have

been inevitable. It has also been pretty plain that Germany would drain Italy of such stuff as the Fascists could spare—flax, fruits, vegetables, sulphur, mercury. But few observers in Italy, and certainly not many persons in the Italian Government, expected the Germans to bring an actual food shortage. Italy had been working for years toward autarchy in food with “the battle of the wheat” and the like and should have proved self - sufficient. Actually there are severe shortages with a resulting upward zoom of prices. The poorer classes are face to face with starvation. n

Soup of Scraps
The bottom third of the Italian public has lived on olive oil and a mixture of spaghetti and noodles with tomatoes and string beans. But oil and spaghetti are now rationed under strict German control and the individual is allowed per month what he used to consume in a week. The taple dish of the poor was a meatless soup made of olive oil and scraps. The poor today are trying to make this soup without oil. That means slow starvation for them.
Stutt Squirrels And Save Eggs
| FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, Ind., April 14 (U. P.).—Each Easter Sunday for many years the egg { hunt for youngsters visiting the Spa has been ruined because squirrels and chipmunks found the eggs before the children did. Yesterday the little animals were outwitted. Early in the morning peanuts were scattered over the scene of the hunt and the rodents gorged heavily. When party time came the squirrels and chipmunks had lost all interest in the eggs and the children had a successful hunt.

Nothing 1s sadder than the long lines of poor housewives waiting for their rations of olive oil. More often than not the available supply is exhausted by the time a woman who has stood in line for two hours finally reaches the store counter. But generally by the time the housewife has got her half-pint bottle of rancid olive oil, which now serves for a week's ration, other lines waiting for spaghetti or charcoal have exhausted those supplies. Without charcoal the poor can neither warm themselves, cook a hot meal nor boil water. There is no sound reason for the shortage of olive oil except that the Germans need tats tor human consumption, for explosives and for the lubrication of bomb-sights, rangefinders and the like.

Germans Care—Selfishly
The fact that the Italian poorclasses cannot live without olive oil and have no substitute for it means nothing fo the Germans. Italy did import olive oil—41¢,000 quintals in 1938—but of this total all but 36,000 quintals was reexported after refinement. These importations were over and above the needs of the Italian public. In a mere matter of months,
consequently, the Germans have left the Italians feeling as if locuts had swept across the peninsula. Berlin itself has realized that if Italy is still to be treated as an ally, instead of an occupied and enemy land, there must be some letup. Dr. Clodius said recently in Rome, “It has become politically necessary to take less from Italy. Unless we want sabotage and shooting in the streets we must even do something to improve Italy's situation.” He proposed to send Italy foodstuff from Hungary and Rumania. That will mean more bread and meat but the lowest third of the Italian public can afford to eat neither. Germany means to continue the drain of olive oil and tomatoes. If this continues sheer starvation for thousands in Italy is inescapable.

The British are building only about 1,000,000 tons a vear, thus leaving a sharp net depletion which is accentuated by the fact that British ships must go on ever-lengthening hauls. For instance if the Germans move into Africa and establish themselves on ye west coast around Dakar, British shipping will have to detour toward the coast of South America on its way around Africa. Our own shipbuilding will reach a rate of 3,000,000 to 4.000.000 a year eventually, but that may be another vear or two away.
My Day
WASHINGTON, Sunday—It seems as though I were covering a good deal of ground these days. On Friday I had the pleasure of meeting for a few minutes Darrell Brown, the young artist who won a prize offered by Isaac Liberman, president of Arnold Constable Co., for painting a portrait of me in the dress I wore on inauguration night. I thought I had never seen him and, since I am not particularly interested ‘n portraits of myself, I think I must have seamed a rather unsatisfactory subject. This, however, is a portrait of the dress. I was interested to learn that I had met Mr. Brown some years ago in Iowa, and was glad to be able to show him the Lincoln portrait in the state dining room. which he liked as much as we do. In the evening, I took the train for Boston and arrived there vesterday morning with my brother to attend the wedding of my young namesake, Eleanor Roosevelt. After breakfast at the Statler with some of my brother's friends; our son John, sent a car for us and my brother and we went down to the Navy yard where Franklin Jr., met us and took us over the destroyer on which he is serving.

I was glad to meet some of his brother officers. Franklin Jr. was off duty by lunch time, so we all had lunch together at Johnny and Anne's apartment. Johnny was one of the ushers at the wedding and, as usual, he was most efficient. We went out to Mrs. John Cutter's house in time to see all the wedding party being photographed out on the lawn, and to look at all the wedding presents. Then we went to the church where my brother joined me and I think we all felt that it was a charming ceremony. The young people looked very happy and sweet and the sun shone upon them. One cannot help feeling that plans for the future are very uncertain where young people are concerned these days, but this has been the case before and it is good that they have the courage to start their lives and lead them as normally as they possibly can. They can not escape anxiety and perhaps it will have to be borne separately instead of with each other, but that, too, has come to ycuth in periods of crisis. I pray that we, who are older, may be able to help them during this difficult time. I was very sorry that, on account of cancellation of my plane back last night from Boston to Washington, I had to take a train and miss the Easter sunrise service at the Unknown Soldier's tomb, conducted by the Knights Templar. This is the first time, since coming to Washington, that I have missed this service.
