"'Sil my house," insisted tho ono with tho "merry mucllago." "O'n tell it by front gate." It took ten minutes to persuade him that he was wrong. There is a famous bridge near Washington where several months ago a man leaped down to his death. It Is closely guarded, for It carries a big water main. Not long after tho tragic occurrence, a night wanderer on the bridge came near losfng his liberty when a guard saw him stop and commence searching carefully on the sidewalk.

Not only are Tuesdays and Saturdays porkless days, but the other five days of the week as well, despite the confessed fondness of the food administrator for his breakfast bacon. Pork, either as ham, bacon, sausage, lard or in other forms, never enters the big red brick house on Massachusetts avenue, where the Hoovers are domiciled. For cooking various vegetable oils or other substitutes are used for lard and butter.
