Wait for Bread Two Days. “The situation at Vologda was the same as in Petrograd. It was famine, and the population stood in line for bread sometimes two days. There was no private commerce. The shops were empty.” ’ On his way from Vologda toward Archangel a commissar tried to coax Evlampleff into serving In the red army, and on his refusal sent him back to Vologda. A peasant hid him in a load of hay and carried him to his un- cle’s home in Torozk. In all the vil- lages he passed through, he sald, there was famine. The peasants cut straw, cook it and make bread. Eventually, after a long journey on foot through the snow, Evlampleff reached his home, y When such prisoners reach the terri tory of the provisional government of the north they are cared for as well as possible. Many of them . voluntarily have joined the white guard army be- cause of their hatred of the bolshevikt.

One hundred and twenty boys ate 1,460 pancakes in establishing a new record for food consumption at the Salvation Army home at Lytton, Cal. Each cake was one-half inch thick, spread with sirup and large enough to cover a dinner plate. The lads procured the feast by clear- ing an ovchard of prunings. Five cooks almost dropped from exhaustion in an attempt {o supply the food. The voungsters averaged 13 pancakes each. The fewest any boy consumed was elght; one lad tucked away 17. No casualties have been reported as 8 result of the feast. URGES MERCHANTS T0 KEEP BOOKS TO CALCULATE TAXES Washington, May 14..—Retail mer- chants were urged by internal rev- enue Commissioner Roper in a letter made public yesterday to install business accounting systems to en- able them to calculate accurately their income taxes.
