V Chicago, April 11. The American ' Meat Packers' association,' in a statement issued today, declares that lower prices for meat may not be cxpccieo uniu me war-sincxcn countries of Europe are enabled to resume their quota of production. The statement reads in part: "The situation today in the meat industry is Just about what Herbert ; Hoover and other food administra tion officials said it would be, as far , back as Jhe first of the year. "That high prices are caused largely by heavy demands rather ,; than any control aimed to stimulate production has recently been illus trated very clearly in the .case of hogs. When the ' minimum price fixed for hogs was removed the food administration predicted that the prices might gostill higher. The prediction is now being verified. Production Crippled. ' "High prices wHl continke for a long time. Each day. that brings final peace nearer means a greater , call on this country for meat. The supply of meat is dependent first of all on the supply of live etock. European herds have been reduced '; by war. To that extent world pro duction of live stock is crippled. "Live stock on ' farms in :. the, -.- United States at the beginning of this year exceeded the number at the beginning of 1918 by 1,036,000 ' cattle, 4,213,000 hogs and 963,000 keep; "But , the armistice, instead of i having reduced the demand for ' meat, has given us more than 200, 000,000 additional mouths to feed, ' ;ther wholly or in part As ship- ping becomes available, an increas- ing number of hungry nations will ; be accessiblefor provisioning. . v Big - Shortage. " "Great number of meat animals have been dressed since the first of , the year. Hogs are now coming into American markets in dwindling ) quantities and in lesser numbers than a year ago. Yet pork prod : ucts must, form a large part of our exports. The price of hogs remains high. "Statistics now available as to the effect of war on foreign herds indi cate that swine in Italy have de creased from 2,508,000' in 1908 to 1,670,000 in 1918; in France from 7,037,000 in 1913 to 4,168,000 in 1917; in Germany, from 25,592,000 in 1913 io i4,uuu,uuu in iyio; in ine unuea ' Kingdom, frdm 3,940,000 in 1914 to 2,488,000 in 1918; in Denmark, from 2,479,000 in 1914 to 513,000 in 1918, and in the Netherlands, from 1,350, 000 in 1913 to 1,185,000 in 1917. Germany Took Meat "Germany sucked meat animals out of the countries she occupied, :. according to Mr. Hoover. Belgium . lost a third of her hogs and more than three-fourths of her cattle. Cattle decreased severely In many other countries. "The numbers of liberated peoples who were inaccessible before hostil ities ceased, but who the United States now will help to feed, include, according to a very recent statement by Mr. Hoover, nearly 7,500,000 in Belgium; 20,000,000 in Poland; 13L- 000,000 in Crecho-Slovakia; 13,000, 000 in Roumania; 12,000,000 or 13, 000,000 in Greater Siberia, and 20, 000,000 in Finland, Armenia and other countries. s 'This takes no account of the food being sent into the central em , pires in order to avert anarchy and "-governmental insolvency. United States Bears Brunt. "Mr. Hoover estimates German shipping around , 20,000,000 tonsf ( This will gradually become avilable ; . lor food cargoes. As it does, a larger and larger part of the de- mand for food can be reached.. "The brunt of meat export and r production will be borne by the .United States, South America and ,-' Australia. Live stock in Argentina has not increased as much as one tould wish. Australian herds, hust some time ago by; drought, are now being replenished. . Our Qwn live stock has not increased commen surately with foreign needs,. in countries where disorder is . now raging, there is a tendency for peasants not to market their prod ucts. The whole situation for some time to come, then, probably will be . one in which the demand for live stock and its products greatly ex- ceeds the supply. ' "This means that live stock will continue to bring high prices. - Cheap bacon "and cheap beef can not be made from .expensive hogs - and costly cattle, , any more than live stock can be raised cheaply on high priced feed stuffs with ex- pensive labor. t . f "Low meat prices must wait until European production - is in good ,, swing again. Meanwhile, Ameri can farmers and packers can only continue their strenuous efforts and full co-operation with govern mental agencies, to keep produc v tion at the maximum and prices at t :he minimum possible." ' i ; The American Meat Packers as sociation "is composed of the five big Chicago packers and practically - all the leading independent packers - in the country.

'' When Margaret Spencer and Rich ard Graham were married, the was a school teacher and he was an artist with all the lovable oddities and failings of tome of his type. ' His best friends are' Lillian Under wood, an illustrator and 'writer of advertising jintjles, and Harry Un derwood, who is interested in theat ricals. At first Madge is jealous of Lillian, but she soon realizes that Lillian can be a better friend f her than she was to Dickey, even though Harry Underwood shows his infatu ation for Madge, s. Soon there comes to live with Madge and Dicky, Mrs. Graham, sr.. whom-it takes all of Madge's diplom acy and self-command to win for a friend. Madge's housekeeping prob lems are soon solved by the efficient help of Katie, a strange little maid, who comes to adore Madge. Katie marries Jim, the man-or-ail-work, who enlists when war comes and goes "over there." In the meantime Harry Under wood deserts Lillian and runs away with Grace Draper Dicky s one time model, who was desperately in love with Dicky until he .made his love for Madge clear to her-r-to South America. About this time Madge meets Capt. Hugh Grantland. The manner of their meeting doesn't disclose to him that Madge is married. Indeed, Madge awakes to this tact with a comes to aid Madge, and together they go to see Lillian Underwood, nrU- ,,fc,n Tannin rnflonH JO K news OOUI i Zr'l ' .X" 1 "Z'.WST from qmc.al fronds. .whom she has come to admire, ex presses his hope that some day sire' will care enough to marry him. In stantly Madge tells Captain Grant land that she is married and happy. , Now that Harry Underwood has gone, Lillian devotes all-of her time 10 worK ror ner country, even though Robert Savarin whom she has loved from girlhood, is eager to make her his wife. Lillian's high sense of honor causes her still to consider herself tied to Harry Underwood, although she has plenty of evidence to obtain a di vorce, Furthermore, her love for her child by another marriage, Marion, causes Lillian to hesitate to bring upon her th. notoriety divorce1 would cause. In a plot that ' is discovered in time, Grace Draper and her con spirators are . captured, but Harry Underwood isn t among them.. The birth of a son to Madge and Dicky brings them close together in perfect harmony. Madge nrmes the baby after Dicky, and hisE;tand mother calls him "Richard Setond." But happy as they are, Madge feels that Dicky is withholding something from her. One day Madge learns that the secret Dicky has been hiding from her for she grieves that he hasn't enlisted as others of their friends had is that he's been studying for the aviation corps. This news comes in a shocking manner. Anxious to break the news in a way that seems to Dicky will punish Madge for her doubts of him, Dicky permits Madge to suppose an anony mous letter suggesting that she go to the aviation field on a certain day, was written by Edith Fairfax, whom Madge feared was in love with Dicky. So Madge . goes, not knowing what she v ill find. An accident occtrrs, someone tampers with the wires of n air plane thar almost crumples in mid air, and the airplane falls. It was Dicky's machine. And one of the men who were responsible for the accident is Harry Underwood, but who has a change of heart at the last moment and endeavors to save Dicky. The others in the plot are captured, but Harry Underwood gets away. Dicky is badly hurt. For a time it is feared that he will never fly again. Madge s unfailing care and love, however, gradually bring him out of the blackness of his despair and he is able to be about again, and soon goes overseas. From France word comes from Dicky, at infrequent intervals. One day news arrives that he has won the coveted title of "Ace," and a decoration. In the same letter he writes: "By the way, whom do you sup pose I ran across the other day in this forsaken corner of the world? Give you three guesses." It was Harry Underwood whom Dicky met in a rest house, for Harry had enlisted and is serving at the front. At first Harry Un derwood feared Dicky and what he might say or do to him. But Dicky quickly convinces Harry that1 he holds no resentment against him,, blaming his condition for the ter rible thing he had attempted to do and then had tried to undo almost too late. Madge decides that she will ad vertise for a position as a teacher in order to make things easier at home. With Lillitn's help she writes an advertisement which, among other answers, brings a re ply that appeals to her and a visit from the principal of the Bayview High school, a Mr. Kenneth Stock bridge. Id Mr. Stockbridge, who carries a cane to help him in his lameness, from whose left hand two fingers are missing and whose temple and cheek bear a jagged scar, Madge recognizes the foot ball hero of her girlhood, whom she had adored from a distance, and who was then known as "The Fiery Streak." Un der the odd condition that she should .never mention his visit to her, but will aqcept the contract to be forwarded by the senior mem ber of the school directors, Madge accepts the position of history and civics teacher. In the next few davs Madge finds hersef confronted by a perplexing problem. Mother Graham and Katie "have words" and Katie pre pares to leave. To take her dace j Mother Graham telegraphs Cousin Agatha, an old maid relative depend; ent upon her. kinswoman's bounty and of uncertain, vindictive disposi tion. , When Katie hears this -she be? Madge not to permit Cousin Agatha to have anything to do with the care of Richard Second, for she knows that Cousin Agatha cause lessly hates Madge High .strong. jcmotioii?! and wiperstitiom ' as nevertheless strangely upset by her warning. , TJie first day Madge spends in the school at which she teaches, she discovers that there must be some strange reason tor the cold ness with which Mr. Stockbridge treats all ,of his women teachers. What the reason ' is she doesn't learn until one dav after the news of the armistice comes. Then Miss Holcombe, the on seems on friendly terms with Mr. Stockbridge, and the principal, him self, meet Madge in the office and break to hej the news that Dicky is reported missing. - -r In a Kind hearted attemot to rush' Madge co the quickest train-home. woman who rushes into the path of the speeding automobile. . But Mr. Stockbridge doesn't slacken- speed, and he leaves Miss Holcombe to ex plain to Madge why he has ignored his wife, for this is who the woman was. Miss Holcombe tells Madge of the insane jealousy with which Mrs. Mockbridge is afflicted, and leaves Madge to wonder if the wom an Miss Holcombe says Mr. Stockbridge really loved in his youth, isn't Miss Holcombe, herself. io the amazement of Madge, Mother Graham takes the news of Dicky's - disappearance far more calmly than one would have expect ed, she feels certain Dicky is safe. In the meantime Major Grantland to meet Lillian Underwood who is coming to spend the week-end. As she nears a corner, boys on skates suddenly swing into sight. Madge throws herself between them and her baby, is knocked over and knows nothing more. " . ", When she awakenaHt is in her own room with Lillian .and a doc tor bending) over her. And then there comes to. her bedside Dicky a transformed . Dicky in civilian clothes. He had planned to sur prise Madge with the news that he had accepted discharge from the army. In each other's arms the mists of their disagreement are dis pelled. Dicky says he has laid away his. uniform for their son to cherish, v Then Madge knows that the . war is over for her. ' - In the days that follow Dicky's return Madge and he are idyllically happy. With nothing in the world mes. inen missj t0 trouble them thejr are not even lly teacher -who4v:s:te1 hv tu.ir t..,t f,;en(u who When ' Major Grantland and Madge reach Lillian's' home they meet Allen Drake, a man high in the secret service, whom Madge had once -aided. He tells Madge that Dicky is reported downed in his airplane, and word has come from the enemy lines that an aviator has-been found, badly wounded. How Madge manages to go on with her school work during the weeks that follow is a mystery even to ner. ror aaaea to it mere comes worry over Richard Second. Baby is fretful all the time awake when he should be asleep and sleeping when he should be awake. Madge suspects Cousin Agatha, but she doesn't know what she could be do ing. Then it is that Mother Graham, of her own accord, asks Madge to find Katie and to bring her back home. . Madge goes in search of Katie and discovers that she has been working behind .the partition in a drug store. At this moment, in fact, Katie is on her wav to bring to Madge startling news that Cousin Agatha has been buying a dangerous medicine, of whose powers Katie has heard the druggist speak in perplexed wonder that the woman should purchase it In frantio haste Katie urges Madge to hasten home and watch Cousin Agatha. This Madge does, catching Cousin Agatha in the act of adding the drops to Baby's milk. Then Mother, Graham sends Cousiij Agatha away and she goes to a pub lic home. There tomes to Madge an official wire. She fears something has hap pened to Dicky, but the cable is from Dicky, himself he is safe within the American lines, is well and is writing. " It couldn't have been Dicky who was found in the aviator's suit. And .when . Dicky's letter arrives this proves to have been the case. Harry Underwood had tried to put himself in every dangerous place and had saved Dicky at what cost even Dicky doesn't know. v Mother Graham, who had been sick when the cable came, instantly recovers her spirits . and sets about preparing for her son's homecom ing. "Madge fears for her strength in the elaborate house-cleaning and also what Katie will say to all the extra work. But Mother Graham and Katie get along beautifully to gether, and then one day Katie's husband, Jim, comes home. He has been wounded and isn't able to do much work, so Katie plans for him to go to his parents until he is able to earn his living, but to Madge's delight for this is her own secret plan Mother Graham imperiously bids him stay with his wife as their guest. The lack of news about Harry Underwood is a grave strain even for ipdomitable Lillian to bear. Her anxiety is heightened by what she now tells Madge that Robert Savarin had declared his intention of seeking Underwood. Knowing the strange condition of Robert Savarin's mind, Lillian fears some thing might happen over there. And though, Lillian loves Robert. :avarin, she decides that she will stand by and wait for Harry Underwood's re turn, ready to do whatever is best for her recreant husband. Unexpectedly one day a telephone message comes to Madge at school. Mr. Stockbridge, ihe principal, care fully and thoughtfully arranges everything so Madge may receive her message in his private office un interrupted. And thus Madge first hears Dicky's voice. He has come home, but he doesn't know that Madge is teaching school. So Madge fearing Dickjrs prej udices doesn't tell him then. She hastens, home to meet Mm, but one of the first things that slip vast her lips is the unintentional disclosure of her work. Dicky is furious and demands that Madge instantly give up her classes. But Madge, had signed a year's contract ' and she won't break her bond or her word. In retaliation - Dicky tells Madge that unless she gives up her work that he will continueJn the army. . The days that follow are filled with an undercurrent of unhappi ness for both, yet they never men tion the disagreement between them. One day Madge, wheels Richard Second toward the str.tion (Steams i&mvt M M ii' -Qtt-' r 41!'

Bat at last Mrs. Durkee-and Alfred, who live next door, come to see them, Dicky and Alfred have many reminiscences ' to talk over, but noneof them wakens . any interest in Dicky. Yet Dicky rouses to tense interest when Alfred jokingly gives him three opportunities to guess the name of a friend of his about whom there was a note of interest in the morning papei. Dicky can't guess, so Alfred tells him it was Edith Fairfax. v - Madge hadn't known that . Edith Fairfax had been over there and had won distinction for herself, nor that Dicky had met her while abroad. But these things trouble Madge lit tle, until Alfred offers Dicky a com mission to illustrate a book by a famous author, who had evinced a desire to have it done with the same model Dicky had used in a pre vious work. This hadrbeen Edith Fairfax. Even then Madge isn't troubled, but Mrs. Durkee insists on giving her warning that she should watch out for her own. Dicky calls upon Madge's notable memory for Edith Fairfax's tele phone number, and then arranges to do the work in Rita Brown's studio until he can regain possession of his own. Then Dicky begs Madge to smother any dislike she may have for tins, as he has tried to crush his dislike for- her teaching. Madge promises. About the first thing that greets Madge upon her return to the Bay view High school is a request from Mr. Stockbridge with a note from his wife now sufficiently recovered to be home once more to bring Lieutenant Graham to dine with them after he has spoken to the High school pupils. .Madge has a terrified vision of what Dicky will say to this request, but at the sight of Mr. Stockbridge's pleading face she stifles a refusal and promises to do her best. ' ( As Madge had expected, Dicky angrily refuses to accept the invita tion. But still Madge doesn't convey the refusal to the principal who has been so kind to her. And she is very glad she didn't when Dicky comes in one evening to tell her that Rita Brown and Edith Fairfax are giving a studio costume party, and insjsts that she prepare a striking costume to accompany him. This brings the story to date from its last appearance in The Bee.

' Handley-Page Plane -To Attempt Atlantic Flight Early in June By nlTersal Berviea. London, April 11. A flight from America to Ireland within 24 hours early in June is contemplated by Handley Pag, though he will not make it himself..

The plane will carry a crew of six, including three pilots and a Marconi wireless -operator. "It is a machine similar to that which flew to India," he said, "with a wing span of 127 feet and a speed of 95 miles an hour. It has the ad vantage of four engines; if two fail it can complete the trip with the other two. "The machine will use the new Marconi wireless which can Teceive messages all the way across the At lantic, and it will be able to steer through fog. It will also have an apparatus by which it can communi cate with ships within 200 miles. In case of a forced descent in mid ocean the wireless set in the tail of the machine can be utilized.
