From upstate there come reports of similar progress and it appears now as though Now York State will lead the nation at the time of the next na? tional convention. Bronxites Stick Together For a demonstration of loyalty the meeting last Wednesday night of the Bronx County Committee was a strik? ing example. One of the posts of that borough, through an ..-fortunate contract with a theatrical producer, became involved financially -and was facrd with a deficit of $750. An appeal to the delegates brought an immediate response, the money was advanced and the post in question will be given time to repay the debt. There was no debating the request of the post that it be helped out of its difficulty. The only question consid? ered was that of how aid should be extended and it was decided quickly that a loan was the most advisable method.

Archie Roosevelt Returns Home on Steamship France Vessel Arrives a Day Late, Due to Severe Head Gales; Newspaper Writer Tells of Conditions in Rumania The French liner France, which was expected from Havre on Saturday, ar? rived yesterday, landing her passen? gers shortly before sunset. According to her master, Captain R. . Maurraa, the vessel encountered heavy ? neas and stiff westerly gales soon after I clearing the French coast, and this sort I of weather prevailed throughout the run to port. Occasionally the weather , moderated, be said, but only for a. few | hours. The skipper said he expected | to be about forty-eight hours behind schedule, but that the vessel behaved splendidly and made much better time I than the weather conditions would war- j rant. Among the saloon passengers was Archibald B. P.ooseve?t, son of the late Colonel Roosevelt, who had been to France on business for the Sinclair Oil Company, with whom he is associated. While abroad he conducted negotiations whereby 'his corporation took over the business of a French oil company which distributes a large part of the oil ship? ments throughout France. The French people, he saidt are anxious to take ail the oil that can be supplied to them, and the French market is only limited by the available supply. Business con? ditions in France, according to Mr. I Roosevelt, are improving rapidly. Another traveler was Nicholas J. *R. Sossidi, a newspaper writer, who had been on a trip to Rumania. He said that the Rumanians were able to cope with the Bolshevikiand the world need*J| have no fear of the country falling into the hands of the disciples of L?nine. He said Rumania's great need just now was locomotives. She has only 250 in operation, and needed at least 3,000 for the complete operation de? manded by her rail mileage.

Direction of L. AI. Boomer Broadway at 44e* Street: THE SADDEST THING I? the World GROWN people who have enjoyed their share of the world's delights are supposed to bear with some degree of fortitude the hardship, sorrow and illness which are bound to come to them, intermittently. But the saddest thing in the world is the child who has never tasted the joys of life, yet must be bent under life's hardships and shriveled before life's starvation. To such a child our sympathies must gush forth in a i torrent strong enough to lift him to the crest and bear him safely to shelter and happiness. Consider the Multitudes There are 3,500,000 just such children in Central and Eastern Europe to-day. They are the saddest things in the world! Their best friend is an American?Herbert Hoover. Mr. Hoover knows perhaps better than any one man in the world the close association between proper feeding and proper living. In addition to this knowledge, Mr. Hoover has an overwhelming under? standing and love of children. Therefore the work of feeding the millions of starving children could not be in better hands. But what a job for one pair of hands! There is a crying need for thousands of pairs of hands, and heads and hearts. There is a need for yours. Mr. Hoover and Rotary On Thursday next Mr. Hoover is going to speak at the luncheon of the New York Rotary Club at Hotel McAlpin. He will find a ready response from all Rotarians. The International Association of Rotary Clubs arid the Rotary Club of New York are heartily in sympathy with Mr. Hoover's great work and will continue to do all that lies in their power to bring it to an even greater success than it has enjoyed. But Rotary is anxious to do more than that. It desires to enlist the sympathies and co-operation of all readers of the Rotary Page, so that they, too, may pass the plea along and add link after link in the chain of mercy. When a man or woman stops to ? consider that one less dinner party, or theatre party, will keep a child alive and well until next harvest time, surely the sacrifice is not too great to ask. A check for ten dollars is one child's lifeline! Think Again If, before this time, you have refused a request to contribute to Mr. Hoover's great work?which is really America's work?will you not think again? And this time, favorably.
