HOOVER FOOD MAN
SERYEDWITH MEAT
Violations of Wheatless and
Meatless Days in Omaha
Are Discovered Despite
Plea of Government.
f
A government man in the service
'f Herbert Hoover, United States
loorf administrator, arrived in Omaha
Tuesday night on official business. He
ordered his evening meal in a Far
nam street restaurant and when meat
was served, he indignantly declined
the food and expressed his' mind.
This morning, when he was served
wheat calces for breakfast instead of
corn cakes, he likewise said a few
words on the subject 01 winning the
war.
"If each person would refuse f
patronize any eating place where
meatless day and wheatless day are
not observed, these places soon would
fall into line. Such places are in the
minority. I know that splendid work
has been done here by the local fed
eral food administrator, but he. and
his staff can not do it all; it requires
the hearty co-operation of every man.
woman and child," he said.
This man does not wish to give his
name in this connection, as checking
up food slackers is not his line of
work, although he is in the food con
servation movement, working out of
Mr. Hoover's office.
He emphasized the importance of
every home feeling the responsibility
of doing a share, because if the ag
gregate of homes are in line, then the
aims of the food administration will
be accomplished.

Queer Ideas of Life
And Dress of King
Levcanika, Rhodesia
"While traveling in Rhodesia,"
writes a contributor in the October
Wide World Magazine. "I man
aged to get a glimpse of King Lcwani
ka's state barge. The chief of the
Barotse is a fine fellow, but 1 was
much amused one afternoon to see
hiro going out for a row attired in a
top hat and gaudy dressing gown.
"Soon after the rains commence the
Barotse valley is flooded and the na
tives migrate to the sandy belt some
miles away for the season. The king
always makes the trip in the royal
barge, an enormous craft about 100
feet long. In the center are two com
partments, both covered in, one being
the living room and the other the
sleeping quarters.
"On the roof of one of these com
partments is erected a monster ele
phant, as a sort of kingly emblem,
while on the other stands a court jes
ter, who on this occasion amused the
populace by pretending to hunt an t
shoot the elephant. A band of 20
musicians were accommodated on the
barge, in addition to whom there were
50 or 60 paddlers and a host of bailers,
for the barge was by no means water
tight.
To the accompaniment of weird
music and barbaric song the huge
craft was propelled along on its jour
ney, the return voyage taking place
four or five months later."

Arabia Still the Land
Of Romance and Poetry
Arabia is the great land of mystery
and romance, because the interior of
Arabia has been less accessible to for
eign travelers and to foreign culture
than any other land on the face of the
earth. As it was in the days when
the Old Testament was written, so it
is today. To the modern, there is
glamour and poetry in its most simple
customs, romance in its daily life.
Jacob and Rachel met at the well.
Their story is even in minutest details
a transcript of the Arab life of today.
There evening is still called "the time
that women gi out to draw water."
When Abraham's servant asked for
water to drink, Rebekah made haste,
and let down her pitcher from her
shoulder and said, "Drink and I will
give thy camel drink also." So today,
if you were fortune enough to be
traveling through Arabia, a native girl
would draw the water tor you or your
camels. She will carry her "balass"
or water jar toward you on her shoul
der, as Rebekah did.
The deserts of Arabia are too dry
for agriculture except of the rudest,
and therefore the tribes are still pas
toral, as they have been since time
was. All the little villages have grown
up round some well or fountain, and
the well is still 'the central point in
their economy and their domestic life.
