have taken place here will be aired.
Masses of detailed information rela-
tive to corners in eggs, and foodstuffs
were assembled at United States Dis
trict Attorney Clyne's office today and
arranged in accessible form for pre-
sentation to the grand jury. What
startling facts are contained in this
data was closely concealed by Clyne
today. but it is known that big food
spectators are growing uneasy and
dropping their attitude of pleasant in
difference to the investigation.
EVIDENCE AGAINST WETZ.
Closeted. with Clyne today was Will
liam L. O'Connell, chairman of the
state utilities commission OF Illinois,
who turned other evidence laid be-
fore the commission in suit involv-
ing the Monarch Refrigerating COM
pany, the house of James E. Wetz,
egg king" who admitted he had H.
100000 eggs cornered. O'Connell is
reported to have given Clyne testi-
mony offered by Lightfoot & Co.,
commission house at st. Joseph, Mo-,
charging that the Monarch company
forced the st. Joseph firm to sign an
agreement allowing the Monarch COM
pany to release it's goods on the mar
ket when it saw fit. thus enabling the
Monarch company to hold up produce
until the price climbed to the desired
height. O'Connell said the state utili-
ties commission was already consid-
ering stringent regulations of cold
storage houses.
RELEASE DATE STAMP.
Il believe the commission will favor
a ruling requiring all goods put into
storage stamped with the date it must
be released" O'Connell said. with
this provision would go strict limiting
of the time produce could be held. Re-
storing of goods as a subterfuge
should also be guarded against and it
should be made impossible for specu-
lators to borrow money on cold stor-
age supplies"
O'Connell said that these provisions
would greatly alter conditions in IL
linois. AS Chicago is the food store
mouse of the United States, changed
conditions there would be expected
to affect favorably the entire country.

War Bracelets a Paris Fad.

Frenchwomen prize highly these
days heavy bracelets made from the
rings of shells fired by the French
"75's." Mile Sorel. a favorite Of the
Paris stage. wears constantly one of
these bracelets. which is large enough
to slip up the arm above the elbow.
Rings made up of metal which once
formed part of menacing shells are
also In favor and are worn outside OF
the glove.
Copper and aluminium jewelry Is
fancied more than ornaments Of gold
and precious stones just now, for all
Paris is going in for economy and
economical effects. and any ostenta-
tious display is discountenanced.
But the war jewelry-the massive
bracelets and the ungainly rings-are
resarded as treasures indeed, for they
nay not be bought. but come as gifts
fopf the very trenches themselves,
where the soldiers occupy their leisure
hours in fashioning these rude but val
ued gifts for sweethearts at home.

Il Word
Hbout
Possessions

Some people are very much concern
cd about their possessions, while all
the time the only things that 1t viii
ever be possible for them to own are
scarcely worth having. Because, after
all, the only things that belong to you
are the things that you are big enough
to love and appreciate, not the things
that you can pay money for.
To be sure you can go out and pay
money for chairs and tables, for coats
and diamond sunbursts, and they will
belong to you after q fashion. But In
the end it's all a matter Of chairs and
tables, isn't It?
Not so with the ticket to a concert or
the price of a book. You can buy your
way into violin recital or pay money
for a poem. But the man or woman
to whom the poem truly belongs, and
for whom it was meant, Is the man or
woman who loves it and understands
1t And once having that sort Of a
possession no one can take 1t away
from you.
II get to the opera once q year." said
a woman who is not often able to meet
grand opera prices, "but the opera is
mine all the year. 1t belongs to me,
not to the people who have season tick
cts and sit in the orchestra circle and
the boxes and go as often as they wish,
unless, perchance, they, too, go because
they understand and love the music"
-ho% L. h. 90 xiv,,,
envying people their possessions?
Let them roll along In their autos and
lean back I'm their furs. It's yours to
look at them and laugh If yours is the
capacity for owning one fine thing they
can't buy with their money.
'The furs," you may say to them,
ARE yours-the stenciled line Of that
rugged tree, sketched against the gray
Of q winter sky Is mine, all mine be-
cause have eyes to see It"
So why get excited about possessions.
after all? The big possessions Of life,
the things that are most worth having
are within yourself, and no matter how
slim your purse the world always holds
fair riches that are made especially FOR
you If you know how to own them.
A woman once moved to the country
from the heart Of a busy city. "But
miss the flowers So" she wrote back
Flowers! What, flowers In crowded
streetsT you ask.
"Why, the flowers in the shop win
dows, for whenever I wanted to-" she
explained, 81 could walk block or two
and feast my eyes on some florists
window. They were always there the
year round; always where could see
them, and they belonged to me as much
as to anybody"

Directions For Making One That's Q
Regular carryaII.
A utility bag which answers the pur-
pose of a laundry and shoe bag, with
two other pockets for various articles,
will be found very convenient when
travelling. This bag can be taken from
the trunk or suit case and hung up
without disturbing its contents.
Cretonne is perhaps the best mate
nal for such bag. 1t would require
two pieces for the foundation Of the
bag. One piece should be yard long
and twenty-one inches wide, the other
a yard and one fourth long and TWEEN
ty-two inches wide. Before joining
the two strips attach pockets to the
longer piece. Turn up One-fourth yard
at the bottom for the flap Of the laun-
dry bag. Slightly round it and bind
the raw edges with tape. When the
bag is completed this flap will snap or
button over the back of the bag.
Across the bottom after the flap has
been measured off attach shoe pockets
Bind long piece Of material with tape
across one side. then lay it into four
box plaits. dividing them by means Of
a stitched piece Of tape; also stitch a
piece Of tape across the bottom after
the pockets are basted in place.
Above these pockets attach another
bag the width of the strip underneath
and any desired depth. Bind top edge
with tape divided into two sections
and stitch tape acorss the bottom.
Now lace the long strips to a depth
Of five inches with Saline and stitch a
casing for double drawstrings. Stitch
the two pieces together on the right
side and bind with tape. Snap the
flap at the bottom over the back Of the
bag.

About MAGNETS.

The natural magnet, or loadstone, Is
an ore Of iron, every molecule Of which
Is composed Of three atoms OF iron
and four atoms of oxygen gas.
This loadstone has the power Of at
tracing small pieces Of iron and if
balanced and suspended will point
nearly north and south.
Artificial magnets are pieces OF iron
or steel which have been under the
action of either the loadstone or other
magnets or of an electric current, or
have been subjected to percussion
while in certain positions.
Permanent magnets are those which
retain their magnetic properties per
manently. They are made Of hard
steel, in bars or bent In the form of
q horseshoe.
Temporary magnets are those which
retain their magnetic properties only
as long as they are under the influence
OF other magnets or an electric cur
rent. They are bars of soft iron, Ell
ther straight or bent like a horseshoe.
The poles Of a magnet are the two
points Of greatest attraction and repul-
sion. They are near the two ends.

This delightful roly poly is the two
year-old newest baby in Mrs. Calvert's
outdoor kindergarten at One Hundred
and Sixteenth street and Morningside
park, New York city. Most schools
stop in June, but this outdoor one goes
all the year, and the children play
even in snowstorms. When it rains
very hard Mrs. Calvert takes them
home with her and buries fishes and
charming seashells In her sand pile
for them to dig out with little red and
blue shovels. When Jack Frost takes
charge Of the park the children run
and skip and do ring games like "Yes,
know the muffin man." and "Once
there was a princess" to keep from
getting cold toes. This also gives them
red cheeks and happy dispositions. In
the spring the park commissioner lets
the children have four benches for a
"house," and their teacher tells them
lovely stories about the park flowers
and leaves. Hot days they braid mats
and learn to count by doing examples
on the asphalt walks with pretty col
ored crayons. In the fall their teacher
tells them all about seed babies and
autumn leaves. Outdoors from 8 till 6
every day but Sundays Is much nicer
than going to school indoors. Don't
you think so, too?
