Chicago, Feb. 27-That Beatrice RyaII will turn states evidence against her supposed husband, Charles Conway, in their trial for the murder of Sophia G. Singer, a wealthy Balti- more girl, October 28, is now a prob ability
 The state is said to have evidence that Conway and the woman were never legally married and has offered 1eniency for her if she will testify against him. That she will accept is indicated by the fact the accused are no longer working together.
 The prosecution's efforts will be centered on a conviction for Conway.

| Current number Of Review o.
Reviews contains an excellent art
icle on the Parcel Post, and The
possible effect on the cost Of liv
ling, by bringing the producer IL
immediate contact with the con
sumer.
The article states that in Ger
I@.any and other European coun
tries, many families in the cities
and towns have obtained the
more common articles of food by
mail, direct from the producer.
1t is fair to assume that the
small producer in our country
would be willing to sess to con
sumers in the city at ABOUT the
same price that he gets from
wholesale dealers. 1t is also like
| ly that everyone lives within fifty
| miles of a farm house. Purchas-
ing butter from a farmer, there
fore, in quantities of two pounds
or more, we pay him % cents a
pound, plus the transportation
charges, by parcels post, from his
door to yours, 4 cents a pound,
making the butter % cents a
pound.
Compared with the grocer's
price, with his profit of II cents
added, would make the butter cost
sc cents a pound, a clear saving
Of 7 cents on every pound Of but
ter. &
Take eggs, for another illustra-
ton: Two dozen eggs in a suit
able container will weigh Tess than
three pounds. Paying the farmer
A cents for them, allowing three
cents for cost OF cOntalner and
adding charge for carriage, Your
eggs would cost you % cents a
dozen-a saving Of eleven cents a
dozen, or nearlyone cent on each
egg.
A three-pound chicken, dressed,
can be bought in the country, sent
by parcels post to the purchaser,
who gets it for Is cents less than
he would have to pay the butcher
for the same fowl.
The use of the parcels post for
these tire items alone, would ma
terially lessen the cost of living,
for the average family in the city,
besides insuring the purchase of
fresh products. %
And, if it is possible to get these
things direct from the producer,
it is easy to see how the system
could be used advantageously in
other fields. To send
such things by express, the trans=I
portation charges would be more
han three times as much as par
cells post, and the farmer would
have to carry the packages to the
railroad station. All that is need
I'd now, is for the farmer to have
MS package ready Gor the mail
carrier.
Books, magazines and other
printed matter, are excluded from
5arcels post. The present rates
IN these are comparatively low. :
