People who like to eat pastry or
other irregular dishes for breakfast
should be consoled to learn that no
less man than Herbert Spencer ate
strawberry jam at his morning meal.
He did it to avoid monotony. believing
that digestion was best served by
keeping the stomach entertained with
variety. He is said to have told OF a

two blocks, and for no other excuse
except that there were so many ma
chimes standing around there that
nothing could get through. Why
could not these stores be made to
make storage room in their great
Easements for all these cars with an
inclined roadway leading to the
basement? They would have room
for thousands of cars in a warm
place, so the radiators would not
freeze and "milady" could step right
out into the store. Surely these base
ments are not any more valuable
than Chicago streets.
Another public nuisance is South
Water ST. There was a good deal of
talk of moving the produce houses
away from the business section, but
somehow it seemed to die out. There
are practically four bridges that con-
meet the great North Side residence
section with the downtown. These
must be used by all the people going
to work with the single exception Of
the LaSalle st. tunnel The approach
to each and every one of these
bridges from the south is choked
from early morning to $50 p. m.
with banana and vegetable wagons.
There is only a small space left for |
cars to pass and everything moving
must take to the tracks to get by.
The presence Of this market also !
brings thousands Of wagons into the |
loop to do business that otherwise !
would have no need there. If South |
Water st. must stay why not build a |
bridge over La Sale st. and make all |
wagons going to and from this mar
ket use this bridge and street to do
their business.
When we do, get the subway the
first purpose it should be used for

ago read an article in your paper
entitled Women of Streets Ask
Churchmen What to Do" This is
what l think the churchmen and
others who have contributed to the
misery Of these women in the past by
buying what they had to sell should
dO-marTy them.
For the real culprit is not the mis-
erly employer who pays them such
small wages that they are forced to
sell their bodies to earn more money,
but the selfish, lasCivious and moral
ly undevelOped creature who is will
ing to buy And the men who have
bought are the ones to redeem them.
For if men were men instead of
beasts the woman in want would not
have to sell her body. He would
gladly give. If he were reasoning
and strong, he would not allow the
economic conditions to exist which
result in the fall Of virtue, starva-
ton or suicide. Or, if in spite of his
efforts, the economic evils still ex-
listed, he would refuse to take adj
vantage of it's victims.
So ask you men who have tricked
and bought, now that the evil is
done, do you realize the plight of
these women. Are you going to give
them the only way out? What are
you going to do about it?
Was she as low as you were when
you lied to her or bought? She trust
ed you or was probably starving, or
had to save some dear one from mis-
cry, while you simply gratifed your
bestial desires. So grant her at
least equality of morals.
Now that she is destined to a life
of shame and lust, in spite of the
fact that she longs for a way out, a
home, husband and children, shall
you go on in your selfish search for
happiness, looking for a virgin to
wed?

D. c. LOSES SERVICES
Of MAI. R. G. POWELL

The District government has lost the
services of another engineer officer Of
the army as a result Of the war. Like
Lieut.. Col Charles w. Kutz, former
Engineer Commissioner of the District,
Maj. Roger G. Powell. who was princi-
pal assistant to the Engineer Commits
sioner, has just been relieved of his
duties in this city and ordered to pro-
coed to France and report to Maj. Gen.
Pershing, commanding United States
forces in Europe, for assignment to en-
cheering duty with troops in the field.
Like Col. Kutz, he is now on his way to
France. Maj. PowelIs relief and de-
parture were effected so quietly that
the news did not become known even
to some of his official associates at the
District building until today.
His absence was noticed of course, but
1t was generally supposed that he was
away on a business trip and would re-
turn in a few days. But he is not COM
ing back for some time.
1t is said at the War Department that
owing to the demand for the services of
engineer officers in France and else
where in connection with war measures.
1t will be impossible to detail another
officer to the District government at
present to replace Maj. Powell as an
assistant to Engineer Commissioner
Knight.
Maj. Powell was assigned to the Dis
trict government in August. 1913, and
had nearly completed the regulation four
years tour of duty on this station.

TO VOTE NEXT WEEK ON
PROHIBITION RESOLUTION

Senate leaders today framed a plan
for adjournment this evening until
Monday. An effort will be made to
pass the rivers and harbors appropria-
ton bill before adjournment today.
Senator Sheppard of Texas obtained a
unanimous consent agreement for a
vote next week on the resolution propos-
ing a nation-w wide prohibition amend
ment to the Constitution.
Senator Sheppard agreed to accept
an amendment fixing limit of six
years IN which the states must act on
his proposed dry amendment. This
limit was suggested by leaders opposed
to nationwide prohibition.
The conference report on the food
control bill must go to the House first.
so the senators will seek this oppor-
tunity to take weekend holiday,
provided they can get the rivers and
harbors bill out of the way.

Approximately Two-Thirds
of National Guard Now
in the Federal Service

Approximately two-thirds of the Ma
tional Guard of the country was in the
federal service today. under President
Wilson's call.
The remaining units will be brought
in August 5, on which day the whole
force of probably 100000 men will be
drafted into the army Of the United
States and will lose it's status as
militia. From that day on the state
troops can be used for any duty the
President may direct. and will be sub
ject to no limitations that do not apply
to the regular army.
There have been many things to indi-
cate that guard regiments which are
now fairly well equipped and which
have the benefit Of the border mobili-
cation will not be held long at the di-
visional training camps. If Transports
ton is available the best of the state
troops may be hurried to France at
once. stopping only for final Quitting
before they sail. The intensive in
struction to fit them for trench war
fare will be given at the American
training camps in France, whore Gen.
Pershing's regulars already are at

FOOD INQUIRY BEGUN
BY FRANCIS ]. HENEY
Trade Commissions Special Counsel
Takes Up Duties and Will Push
the Investigation.

Francis J. Heney of California, spe-
cial counsel for the federal trade COM
mission. in charge Of the big food probe
undertaken by that body, at the request
of the President took up his duties this
morning and will push the investigation
of food prices through as quickly as
possible. The arrival Of Mr.. Heney is
work, which began last week with an
investigation of meat packers in Chi
cago.
AS rapidly as possible. SO that the
information may be laid before Con-
gress in time to do some good before
the war is over, the trade commission
will investigate the conditions and
products of canneries and stuffs held in
cold storage.
But no matter how long may be
necessary to complete the probe, Mr..
Heney said today, as long as the war
lasts 1t Will be necessary for the COM
mission to investigate, as they come Up,
the schemes of greedy men, to hoist
food prices. The commission ever must
be on the job.
Publicity and legislation will be the
cures for high food prices, Mr.. Heney
believes The trade commission will
show the facts to Congress and to the
people, and then it will be up to Con-
gress, and not Divine Providence, to do
the necessary thing.
The investigation will be nation
wide, but will not deal specifically with
cities. The commission is carrying on
the work in closest cooperation with
the Department Of Agriculture and the
food commission, and expects to keep
Mr.. Hoover fully informed as to food
prices which it develops.

District National Guard
Will Undergo Training at
Admission, Ala, Camp

At the War Department today it was
stated that the original plan of sending
the entire National Guard of the District
Of Columbia to Camp Mcclellan at An
niston. Ala, will be carried into effect.
and that 1T is not intended. as reported
in the newspapers. that the Sd Regiment
Of Infantry shall be sent 70 Camn
Sewer at Greenvi1le, s.. e.
The status of Brig Gen. William f.
Harvey. commanding the District Ma
tional Guard, is still unsettled. He has
not yet been called into federal service
and whether he Is or not depends on
whether the President decides to make
him brigadier general in the national
army in spice fthe fact that his pres-
emit command does not constitute a
brigade.
The eighth division ordered to camp
Mcclellan at Admission is composed OF
the militia troops of the District, New
Jersey, Delaware. Maryland and Vir-
ginia.
The National Guard organizations of
New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia are
of brigade strength. but the organtza-
tions of Delaware and the District of
Columbia are of less strength. and
there is no brigadier general in the
Delaware organization. 1t is stated
that there will be but three infantry
brigades and one brigade of field ar
tillery in the division at Camp Nc
Clellan. and that 1t Is planned to place
an officer of the regular army in COM
mand of the field artillery brigade.
That leaves four National Guard brig
adler generals. including Gen. Harvey,
available for the command of three
brigades.

Provost Marshal General
Preparing Reference List
of Every Man Registered

While local selection boards were at
work today assembling men of the Sc
Ie.tive draft forces. officials of the pro-
vost marshal generals Office began pre-
pairing a new publication to furnish reg
istered men with an easy method of keep
ing track Of their status in their districts.
The new list will be issued with cross
reference by number between the red ink
and drawing numbers. 1t will be possible
for those supplied with the lists to inform
any man almost instantly in what order
he was drawn when he furnishes his red
Ink number. Presumably these lists will
be placed In the selection boards head
quarters so that registrants may find out
quickly where they stand. If the master
list is used for this purpose. it might be
necessary to read over several thousand
numbers before registrant could find his
own.
A careful outline of the process to be
followed both by the selection and dis
trict boards is also being prepared for
publication. Registrars and their rela-
tives are worried over action they should
take and the object of the statement will
be to answer their questions fully.

WILLIAM FRIzZELL WOUNDED.
Stray Bullet From Virginia Shore
Hits Boy in Boat.

A stray bullet from rifle fred by an
unidentified individual on the Virginia
side OF the river opposite Lock Cove yes
terday afternoon struck William Frizzeu.
eleven years old. and fractured his skull.
The wounded boy. whose home is on New
Cut road. was in boat not far from the
shore when he was shot, and Maurice
Donaldson, 1897 18th street, lowed him
ashore. He was taken to GEORGETOWN
University Hospital, where physicians said
the boy was not dangerously wounded.
Police OF the seventh precinct made
futile efforts to ascertain the identity of
the person who fired the shot Campers
and others on the Virginia side of the
river. it is stated. frequently engage in
target practice. Very few persons have
been wounded, however. but numerous
complaints about the dangerous practice
have been made by canoeists and anglers.
Young Frizzell was able to go home from
the hospital yesterday.
