 David F. Houston, secretary of az. riculture and long a schoolmaster, was the pronouncer." He encour- aged the spoilers at first by a series of easy words, giving Senator Ashurst of Arizona cactus and Senator Poin- dexter moss" but soon he dealt the most difficult words he had been able to find after a careful search of the dictionary.
 
 thinned quickly, and finally only Sen ator PoindeXter of Washington and Representative Willis remained The senator misspelled ''hydrocephalus," and MT. Willis, former schoolmaster himself, was awarded the champion- ship.
 Some of the words missed were: Acacia, canteloupe, esciccate, fuchsia, cedrelaceous, caoutchouc, daguerreo. type, foliaceous, ecumencial and lar. yngeal.

senator Overman will ask the the probe.
 Names given by President Wilson, others furnished by the members of the senate on the witness stand and still others sent to Senator 0verman by outside parties constitute the list of those who have been or will be subpoenaed.
 Lobbyist Not Defined.
 Members of the senate have almost unanimously testified that no improp- CT methods have been used to influ- ence them and that the men who have called upon them are not lobbyists" in the sense that that term is gener- ally used.
 The committee found it impossible, however, to define lobbyist" or to fix a limit to its investigation.
 It was determined, therefore, to in- vestigate anything that shows any sign of having been an organized or arranged plan to influence any con- gresSlonal action. ~ Questions as to the interest the Mormon church holds in sugar and woolen factories in Utah brought about lively clash between Senator Shoot and Democratic members Of the committee.
 Senators Mark Smith, Shafroth and Williams testified and produced new bundles of literature sent out by or ganizations and individuals.
 Detectives Used, Cummins Says.
 That detectives have in some cases been used to shadow members uf con gress in the interest of getting cer- tain legislative action is a point Sen ator Cummins will endeavor to estab- ltsh.

 If he was in Mrs. Van Keuren's apartment on the nigh- she shot her husband, he was there, just as he says, because he was called there to match some chinaware," declared Mrs Penrose. T am confident that his re. lations with Louise Van Keuren were proper, and that he knew nothing of the shooting"
 The parents of Mrs. Van Keuren, who first described her as 'petted, spoiled child announced that they would stand by her and they have retained an attorney to defend her.
 The report of a private detective who trailed Mrs. Van Keuren on the night she shot her husband will be one of the most important bits of evi dence presented to the grand jury. The detective testified at the coroner's in. quest that he saw Penrose hug and kiss Mrs. Van Keuren in Washington park on the night of the shooting and then enter her apartment just before midnight.
 Domestic Tragedy Recalled.
 It was nearly three months ago that John B. Van Keuren and his wife were separated. The circumstances of the separation, the grief that it caused to the husband, his mental suffering while the separation continued, all these points were brought out through the testimony of the victims brother, Harry F. Van Keuren.
 The two Van keurens had been part ners in the hardware business, having d store at S19 East Sixty-third street Harry Van Keurens home is at 6456 IngIeside avenue. There, since the separation, John had lived.
 The matrimonial affairs of the two families were curiously knit, for the brothers had married sisters. Johns wife had been Louise Sears, and liar. rvs wife had been May Sears, So the families had been bound together by sort of quadruple tie, which lasted for nearly quarter of century John has son "A years old.

If l were to ask every housekeeper
in the land, what is your greatest
difficulty experienced in cooking?" l
am sure every one would reply, max
ing out the menus"
1t is planning meals with right food
combinations and knowing what to buy
that requires the thinking. When
that is all done, the cooking and pre-
paration of the meals do not seem to
be serious problem, with the ex-
perienced housekeeper at least.
For years 1 have been beseiged by
women to issue a book or card index
form of menus all made and ready for
use, and l have determind.y refused,
as there seemed so little real help in
it for any one. Each home has its own
conditions and problems and at best
menus planned by any one outside OF
the family can only be suggestive. But
/ have planned a method OF correctly
combining seasonable foods which is
very easily done and suited to every
familys individual needs. A few OF
the combinations from this menu card
are here given.
WATCH THE LEFT-OVERs.
In using the following guide for
everyday menu making, find out your
present food supply first. Look care
fully after every tablespoonful of the
''left-overs" in the refrigerator, writing
these down on pad of paper.
We will suppose, for the purpose OF
making it clear, that celery is found in
| the refrigerator not quite fresh
| perfectly for soup. Then start your
menu with No. 1 under soups, which
is cream of celery soup; follow with
No. under meats, No. 1 under vege
tables and so on until your entire
menu is made, planning to use, if not
in the dinner. in some meal, all the
| "left-overs" written down. Numbers
corresponding exactly with each Other
working forward or backward will
make the combination right.
Now tear off a clean sheet from the
pad and make out your grocery order
for at least three meals ahead, look
ing after the dry groceries at the same
time, such as tea, coffee, sugar, soap
starch, etc. This is usually done right
after breakfast. After looking ovel
some headings and numbers a choice
will be found For instance, IN No.
under vegetables there will be severa
from which to select and also in many
others. With this method all foot
properties are given and at the same
time foods are properly balanced.

for every change in soups, sauces

CHARGE AGAINST HITCH
FILED WITH M'REYMOL DS

Washington, d. c., July 1S.-Sen-
ator Lewis is authority for the state
ment that charges have been filed
with the attorney general against
Charles P. Hitch, United States mar
shall for the eastern district of Hi
nois, who was appointed at the spe-
cial request of former Speaker Can
non. According to Colonel Lewis the
general charges are conspiracy
against justice, subornation of perjury
and pernicious political activity.
From a statement made by Mr..
Lewis it appears that Representative
O'Hair, who is occupying the seat in
congress formerly occupied by Mr..
Cannon, has received from a constit-
uent who is described as highly repu-
table, but whose name will not be
given at this time, a letter in which
it is alleged that Marshal Hitch in
spired or had something to do with
| the preparation and filing of the
charge that Mr.. O'Hair had sold the
Paris, Ill, postoffice. 1t is further al
legged that one of the men who made
| the charge against Mr.. O'Hair ad.
mitted he had received $50 from Mar
shall Hitch for signing the charge.
The republican postmaster at Paris
was Paul Shut, who is said to have
edited the newspaper which Mr.. Hitch
owns. Mr.. O'Hair recommended, and
the president appointed, Thomas Moy-
er to be his successor and the senate
confirmed the nomination. Senator
| Lewis says that Mr.. OHair has turned
over to him the information received
and that he has placed it in the hands
of the attorney general, who has or.
dered an investigation.
Michael Fahy, member of the Hi
nois legislature, is seeking appoint
ment as United States marshal for
the eastern district
Behrns Hitchcock of Decatur, III.
was presented to the officials of the
state department by Senator Lewis
| for appointment as secretary of EN-
bassy. Mr.. Hitchcock brought with
him letter of Endorsement from for.
mer Vice President Stevenson.
Judge E. c. Kraemer and L. o.
Whitmel of East st. Louis called upon
the president to indorse Charles A
Karch for United States district at
torney and F. c. Smith for collector
of customs for the southern district.

THREE ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Young & Mccombs Tell of Greatest
July Clearance Bargains They
Ever Offered.

We are stirring things up-every
department has been carefully gone
through and prices cut even lower
than before. Saturday we will sell
thousands of dollars worth of good,
clean merchandise at less than the
cost to manufacture it. This cut price
disposal is the result of two things:
We are getting rid of our complete
stock of new, clean, wanted summer
merchandise regardless of its cost or
former selling prices; these being the
very merchandise wanted during the
heated days of mid-July, selling rap
idly at prices placed on them to rid
US of our entire summer stock as soon
as possible. There are more items
among the thousands of dollars worth
of goods that show savings of 80, 40,
90 and go per cent and higher-than
you will find at lesser reductions-that
is why this sale is meeting with IN
precedented success as far as amount
of merchandise sold is concerned.
The other cause for our present low
prices is simply this: Manufacturers
are frightened by proposed tariff re-
auctions. All of them that are direct
ly affected are unloading their surplus
stock at the greatest reductions we
have ever known. We have taken ad-
vantage of this market condition.
By cleaning up in June with our
Buyers Contest Sale, We were in a po-
sition to buy the manufacturers sur
plus stocks at savings of often SO
cents on the dollar. This new mer-
| chandise is TO be found in nearly all
