Haarer, The plant would consume
l50 tons OF garbage a day, but we
are collecting considerably more
than that. One day last week We col
lected ESQ tons OF garbage. Instead
OF building one plant large enough TO
consume all the garbage consider II
would be more practical to build a
second plant later on. In the mean-
time We could dispose OF the surplus
by delivering II to the Detroit Reduc-
tion Co. as we do now. II could
easily take care Of that amount
The plant would require a year
in building. There would be no by
product from the garbage In this
method OF disposal. but the heat OBJ
tanned from burning II may be used
for generating power. The plant
might be used as an adjunct to the
city lighting system and IL the expert

CHECK WAS NOT CASHED
Discovery Adds to Uneasiness
of Wife of Grocer Who
Disappeared.

Mrs. Max III. Katz, wife Of the young
grocer who disappeared from the vicin-
ity of Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth
street northwest two weeks ago. after
he had bought his supplies OF meats
and groceries for the day. was made i'll
today when she learned that a check
went away had not been cashed.
Yesterday Mrs. Katz recalled that her
husband had a check for $2S that he
had cashed for a man employed at the
Potomac Electric Power Company S
plant at Benning. She reasoned that If
her husband had remained in this city
after Monday morning two weeks ago
he would have had the check cashed.
IF he had 1t cashed in another CITY,"
suggested the wife. that would give an
idea where he went"
The distressed woman felt certain she
would hear some good news from the
check. and bright and early this morn
ing she started an investigation. the re-
suit being to learn that the check had
not been presented.
Mrs. Katz became hysterical fearing
her husband had met with some accident
after he had made his purchases in a
Pennsylvania avenue store two weeks
ago.
Il don't know what to think" sobbed
the heart-broken woman today, when
asked by a Star reporter what she
thought Of the probable whereabouts of
her husband. II had hoped the check
would help me. but 1t only makes his
going more mysterious.
A brother of Mrs. Katz is here from
Atlanta, Ga. He is assisting his sister
in her effort to solve the mystery of her
husbands disappearance.

RECOURSE IN CIVIL ACTION

As far reaching as the tariff question
and affecting exactly as many interests.
reaching from factory to selling counter.
and touching acutely on the pocket of
consumer and producer alike. the patent
bill of Representative w. A. Oldfield OF
Arkansas. chairman of the House patent
committee. will be reported to the House
next week. and. according to Representa-
tive Oldfield, will be passed by the House
in December The measure aims to
change the patent laws. and. il enacted.
will upset SO many existing conditions of
purchase and sale that a short phrase TO
describe its sweeping character is difficult
to find. Manufacturers. sales agents, de-
partment stores and customers line up on
either side of the proposition, and when
the big fight on the bill comes next ses-
sion the matter will narrow down to a
big fight between the manufacturing in
terests and the farmer. and between pro-
Queer and consumer.
Briefly, the feature Of the bill which
chiefly concerns the householder the
proVlder for the family, is the PROPOSE
ton to eliminate fixed prices on patented
articles. In other words. patented
breakfast food, a patented corset, a pat
ented safety razor blade or a patented
talking machine record, now to be bought
at the same price in Chicago Cherokee
Falls or the Panama Canal Zone. il the
Oidheld bill IS enacted. may be sold at
any price the dealer can get for it. Mr.
Oldfield believes there is more Injustice
in the method of holding on to a set
price for commodities than there is in
all the other trusts" combined. He has
set about to remedy it-and has con-
cocted his remedy SO as to be most pala-
table and healthful to the people-the
