ter TO Attorney General.
Washington.-Preeident Wilson per-
sonally, by letter. called the attention
Of the attorney general to the general
and apparently abnormal initiation OF
food prices and asked the Department
of Justice to conduct an investigation
to ascertain corrective measures and
whether there is . conspiracy. The
Presidents letter was as follows:
The rapid and unwarranted In
crease In the prices Of foodstuff in
this country upon the pretext Of the
conditions existing in Europe is so
serious and vital matter that take
the liberty of calling your attention
to It.
II would be very much obliged If
you would advise me II there ia under
the existing law any action which the
Department of Justice could take
either by way Of investigation or le-
gal process and what federal legisla-
tion, II any. would. In your Judgment,
be justifiable and warrantable In the
circumstances.
II feel that this il a matter that
we cannot let pass by without trying
to serve the country. Certainly the
country ought to be defended. II, pos
sible. against men who would take
advantage Of such circumstances to
increase the price Of food and the DIFF
ficulties OF living"

"The Sea Wolf" Draws
A Remarkable Crowd

Tn. presentation OF lack Ionoon's
storv Of The Sea Wolf in photoplsy
form has had the effect of bringing to
th. Casino Theater the most curious
races fr the trials to select a defender
motion picture exhibition IN this city.
Il has been the list"r! nf this particu-
lar film that it has brought to the
theater more people who never entered
picture house before than any other
moving picture We; presented. The fact
is that The Sea Wolf is perhaps the
most remarkable picture that has yet
been produced in many WAYS Hobart
Rcswortk, VINO produced the play and
plays the leading lsrt. is one OF the
most finished actors ~ the stage AS
veil as the motion pictures ard he has
brought TO this particular picture all
the knowledge Of his long career ia tnc
theatrical profession. The main idea in
producing the film Was to give a per-
feet presentation Of the story. Mr..
London was with the company al all
times. There was nc question Of eX-
pense to be considered. The sole idea
was 10 make a perfect picture and IL is
tho general opinion that success has
been attained. The Sea Wolf re-
mains at the Casino but two days more.
And IL is probable that Washington

Kitchen Tour
For the Girl
Graduate
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK,

THE other day ] talked with a
group Of mothers. two of
whom were expecting daugh-
ters home from college. We
had been discussing the inc ;itable
servant problem, and Mrs. s. said:
''Oh. ] think II would BE- simply
lovely If Janet would take hold in
the house with ne when she comes
home and let us do the houseyork
together. / can do great deal N.Y.
self. and | would just love to show
her some things, and then, il seems
to me. she could give me this new
viewpoint in home-maxins which
she studied about. and together we
might solve this servant problem
and have the best kind Of a vaca-
ton"
But would Janet do it7
Perhaps not that particular Janet,
but ] see no reason why a trip TO
the kitchen would not be the best
kind of a tour for the girl who has
been using only her mental energies
for the past season. / know by ex-
perience that after a long session
with books. exams" and theses,
that a chance to get out and make
things" in the kitchen is the best
kind Of relaxation a girl can have.
used to get frantic with the lack
of opportunity at college to use my
hands. and. in spite of what many
may say 10 the contrary, l believe
that the ability to occupy ones self
with manual work of some kind is
the surest means Of correcting nerve
strain and of creating a light kind
Of employment to remove nervous
fatigue.
A summer spent In a hammock
and kimono does not by any means
indicate the most healthful kind of
summer. The kitchen. especially with
the attractive summer dishes, des-
serts. beverages and the many fancy
kinds OF foods that are seasonable.
does and can appeal to any intelli-
gent girl as a welcome change from
books. How many mothers would
pass the most delightful vacation of
their lives IL Janet or Susie came

actual work, and cooperate with
mother in, managing the home? Not
only actually cooking and cleaning.
but attending to the family finances.

etc, management OF a home.
The expression OF the art and
decoration which college has in
stilled in them can be applied TO the
actual home which the girl comes
back to either in vacation time or
after having received her diploma.
Certainly l must needs criticise that
education which leaves Janet so
helpless that she cannot apply her
physics. her chemistry, her bacteri-
ology, her civics. to her own home.
II would be fortunate indeed II
Janet had a mother willing to let
her experiment in her home before
Janet tries II in the home OF her
