The report, vendors, auditors' statements and various necessary documentation accompanying it, make up sixteen huge volumes. In his letter of transmission Mr. Hoover states that "there has not been a deduction of one penny for A. R. A. administration purposes either from the funds provided by Congress or from funds provided by public charity in the United States." The greatest famine-breaking effort of modern times has been financed, as far as its overhead is concerned, by a business operation which has involved the export to Russia from the United States of more than $11,580,000 worth of American foodstuffs paid to American producers by individual Americans and representing practically the entire commerce of the United States with Russia during the past 14 months. This particular phase of the A. R. A. effort cannot strictly be classified as charity. It is a business conducted on strictly business principles. It has offered persons in America opportunity to send relatives, friends, and other beneficiaries in Russia basic foodstuffs at prices about as low as the same foodstuffs could be secured at retail in New York. In addition to the service rendered to the relatives and friends, as well as hungry Russians, this business has not only paid the entire overhead cost of the strictly charity section of the American Relief Administration during this period but has earned a large margin for use in feeding destitute children in Russia. This means that every cent of the $20,000,000 appropriated by Congress was spent for food; that of the sum amounting to between $10,000,000 and $11,000,000 entrusted to the American Relief Administration by the Soviets themselves to purchase food and seed in America, not a penny was deducted for administrative expense, and that of every dollar contributed to the American Relief Administration, 100 cents was expended for relief without the deduction of a single penny for the cost of administration.

WILD STORY ABOUT VERY MILD PATIENT "Oliver Mills must have had a lot of pep put into him since he left here 10 days ago, if he escaped from the State Hospital at Norwalk the way the papers say he did." This in about so many words was the comment at the County Hospital today in regard to Mills, who was reported to have broken away from guarus and escaped. Mills is one of the mildest patients ever held at the County Hospital, and he is expected soon to wander back to the State hospital or his former home at 211 South Philadelphia-st. It is said he fears some one is trying to kill him. He himself asked to be returned to the County Hospital when he was first released at his wife's request. SEN.

Kafateria Shoe H. McFarland, Manager CALIFORNIA Thursday, Feb. 22, 1923 FAMOUS HIGHWAY IN MISSOURI TO GO SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Feb. 22—The "old wire road" is doubled, according to the aKnass City Star. That famous old trail that led from Springfield to Fort Smith, Ark, thrue Aurora, Verona, McDowell and Cassville in Missouri, winding through some of the prettiest country in the Ozards at the point between McDowell and Cassville, where the bed of little Flat creek is followed by the road, probably will never regain its last prestige. The old wire road, so called because it was along this trail that the first telegraph line between Springfield and points in Arkansas was constructed, has been famous in south-west Missouri history. MELTING OF SNOW SHOWS ERUPTION REDDIT, Feb. 22—That three was a "hot time" on Mount Lassen, the United States' only "live" volcano, during the recent eruption, is shown by the way the snow has melted from the northern and western slopes.
