The major had the advantage OF Gear

tate owners were kept of the site Until
everything was ready. So he made lis

diagonal avenues. radIaIing from mo

this disadvantage passes away with IA

the diagonal plan is apparent. Diagonal
streets give them finest possible oppor-

Washington IS fun Of circles" where
the diagonal avenues cross the rectsngu-

many of them, unfortunately, oisagured
by poor statues. Perhaps some day the
town win have the nerve to get rid Of
these pieces Of sculpture and leave the
circular spots OF green in al their origi-
nal beauty.
The diagonal street plan was merely
one phase Of L'Eufsnts comprehensive
scheme OF grouping the public buildings.
At one end Of Pennsylvania avenue he
planned the White House, hanked by the

limitations OF their whole environment

and they do not care Cor the changes that
soap and water might make IN their DO
nestle life. while the women Of the fani-
ly are not anxious TO adopt changes in
methods Of cooking that might make
some OF the dishes they prepare much
cleaner and far less deadly than they ap-
pear TO be. But the best filed iarder IN
the homes OF the most afiuent OF the Is
kimos offers but little in the way Of
variety in food. and the question 80 vex-
ing 70 the American housewife. What
shall we have for breakfast" or for
dinner, or supper. never troubles the Es-
kimo housewife, since these meals may
not vary for months az a time. and are
prepared in the primitive way in which
they were prepared BY the Eskimo OF
generations and generations ago.
The dress Of the women and the men IS
so much alike that II an Eskimo Iady's
husbands clothes happen 70 be better

GOVERNOR TO GO
BEFORE GRAND JURY
Continued from Page one.)

or or the grand jury anything that will
do them any good.
Governor Marshall declined to dis
euss the matter last night, because he
had not yet been served with the pa
pers. But it is generally understood
that he will go to South Bend when
called.
Knows Only From Hearsay.
The governor does not know a thing
about the prize fights in South Bend
or any other part of the state except
from what has been told to him by
newspapers. And every bit OF infor
nation that has reached him has been
forwarded to the prosecuting attorneys
of the counties in which the prize
fights are said to have been held, with
instructions to the prosecutors to get
busy and prosecute any and all persons
who were interested in the affairs.
Further than this he knows nothing
and cannot tell the st. Joseph county
grand jury any more than that
But the governor has his fighting
harness on in this matter, and when
he gets to going it is believed that the
sparks will fly in several places. Some
people seem to think that an effort is
being made to put the governor in a
hole by summoning him to appear be-
i fore the grand jury, and they are say
! ing that If this is the case whoever is
| trying it had better farm out the Job
| to some one else, for the governor Is
/ fully able to take care of himself All
| the governor wants is for the prosecut-
ors to enforce the law and that is the
purpose of the letters that he has been
sending to them.
Lives Up to Ante-EIectiOn Pledge.
In his message to the legislature on
mis- Inauguration Governor Marshall
said that he proposed to have the laws
! enforced but that he did not propose
to do it all himself He said that
whenever he received information that
the law was being violated in any
county in the state he would send tC
the prosecutor Of that county such in
formation together with the name o,
his informant so that the prosecutor
could call in that person and start ar
| investigation of the facts. He saiC
that If any person was not willing tC
give information to the prosecutor anC
the grand jury he should not send il
in to him, for he would certainly for
ward it to the proper officials.
This is the policy he is pursuing il
sending the letters to the prosecutors
Of St. Joseph and other counties il
which it is reported that prize fight!
have been held. In the case of St. 10
seph county the governor sent with tn,
letter a clipping from THE LAX
COUNTY TIMES in which it was said tina
prize fights were being held at Soutl
Bend. He did this in order that tn,
St. Joseph county prosecutor and gran,
jury might call the author Of the ar
ticle and learn from him what he knew
about the affair.
The belief here is that there will b.
some tall doings" in St Joseph coun
ty if any one tries to put Governo
Marshall in a hole over the thing
