The Way Out

The cost of grub's beyond all

buds; and so this year I'll have a
garden, and raise my greens and
spuds. Like others | have
formed the habit of buying all
my eats, from caulihower to pot
ted rabbit, from succotash to
beets. My spreading lawn has
been devoted to grass, and still
more grass, but after this it will
be coated with blooming garden
sass. cannot eat the lovely
roses that scent the countryside !;
they're gratifying to our noses,
but are no good when fried. If |
should boil a mess of lilies, in
place of cabbage-head, the dish
would give my guests the willles,
and set them seeing red. l buy
my cabbage from the grocer, my
tulip bulbs | raise; and that is
why the wolf draws closer, and
howls, these dismal days. This
year I'll raise my prunes and
onions, on these, my fertile lands,
and ply the hoe till | have
bunions upon my white

PHOTOGRAPHS ON PASSES.
Added Precaution Taken for Protec
ton of Navy Yards.

In order to afford better protection
against the admission Of spies or other
undesirable persons within the precincts
of the Washington navy yard, with it's
big gun factory, each q the 5000 en-
ployes of that yard is required to have
his photograph attached to the card of
admission issued in his name. The main
object of the new requirement is to guard
against the possibility OF the transfer of
these cards to other persons not entitled
to admission. A similar practice is in
force at munition plants throughout the
country.
Photographers in the vicinity of the
navy yard are doing land office bust
ness just now, supplying the employees
with photos at the average rate of %
cents per. 1t is understood that the me-
chanics have to bear the expense them
selves So far as known the system of
Photographic passes has not extended to
the executive departments.

MARRIED FOR 28 YEARS
Now Mrs. Hattie Carson Wants Di-
vorce From Husband.

After twenty-eight years of married
life and after her two children had
become of age, Mrs. Hattie Carson,
1874 North Jackson street, has decid-
ed to return to a life of single bliss.
Today, she filed a petition for a di-
vorce from her husband, David L.
Carson, a clerk in the postoffice. Car
son is making a salary of 500
month, according to the petition.
In her petition, Mrs. Carson charges
that Carson has threatened her and
hasn't treated her daughter, Enid
Carson, in a loving manner. They
were married May 9, 1889.
Mrs. Carson figured in a sensa-
tional sanity hearing in the probate
court a number of years ago Dozens
of witnesses were dragged into court
by the Harleys, who swore to the
lunacy complaint. and by Mrs. Carson,
who established her sanity to the sat
isfaction of the jury. The Harleys
have left the country since. They
lived near the Carsons, who at that
time, resided north of Topeka. Dur
ing the trial it was shown that guns
and knives had been brandished by
the two families during the time a
feud existed between them.
Loise Dell Mack filed d petition for
divorce from her husband, James w.
Mack Gross neglect of duty and
abandonment are charged in the pc
tition. Mrs. Mack asks for the GUS
tody of her three children. The
Macks were married May 8, 1899.

BIC Liner RISKS IT
First American Passengers Ship
to Europe Since Feb. 1.
All Other q. s. Vessels Cancel
Sailing Dates.

New York, Feb. 21.-The first
American line steamship to leave this
port since the German submarine
warning was issued-the Mongolia
today is past Sandy Hook and on her
way to Europe. She was followed
closely by the American freighter AL
gonquin. Both are bound for London
and are the first American vessels
to sail from here for British port
since Germany's warning.
Officials of the American line were
reticent over the sailing of the Mon
seen to pass out of the harbor, to ad-
nit her sailing. She is a vessel of 49,
639 tons, and is an out and out Ameri-
can vessel. having been built in this
country and never having flown any
flag except the American. No at
tempt was made to disguise her. She
is painted in regular colors with her
name and registry painted on her
sides in huge letters. The captain of
the Mongolia is Edward Rice, an
American.
Remove Freight From the ST. Louis.
All sailings of passenger vessels
have been cancelled by the American
line. Shippers have been notified to
take freight out of the hold of the
St Louis, where it has been lying
since February 3, when her sailing
was postponed. The Philadelphia is
expected to take her place alongside
the ST Louis. New York and St. Paul
when she arrives here tomorrow from
Liverpool.
Speculation today as to the prob
able cause of the cancellation of
American line sailings, was along two
different lines. One was that it might
mean the final decision of the governs
ment not to aid in arming ships fly
ing the American flag. The other was
that the present international crisis
had caused the government to notify
the ship owners that they might be
needed for auxiliary work. The Phil
adelphia and the New York, under
the names Harvard and Yale, were
so used in the Spanish-American war.

HOLD PRACTICE SHOOT
Battery \ Boys Will Train Guns on
Targets Tomorrow Morning.

Weather permitting, a detachment
of Battery A, Topeka's military or
sanization, will hike out to the re-
form school tomorrow morning for
sub-caliber practice. Superintendent
Charles has volunteered the use of the
school rifle range and the big field
pieces will be placed on the range for
firing.
The guns will be laid out and han
died exactly the same as in regular
service firing by means of a small at
tachment placed in the bore of the
pieces. A service 30-caliber cartridge
is fired instead of the regular S-inch
shell. All members of the battery
who can arrange it should be present.
Lieut.. James C. Hughes, who will
conduct the firing, has requested that
visitors stay at least fifty feet from
the guns while practice is in progress.
The non-commissioned officers will
have an opportunity to display their
ability to act as officers. The firing
will begin at 1880 O'Clock in the
morning.

NO H. C. |. PROBE
Congress Balks on a 100000 Appro-
priation for Investigation.

Washington, Feb. 21.-In the face
of serious food rioting in New York
City and despite grave food shortages
thruout the country, congress has
given every evidence of baking at an
appropriation for government investi-
cation of soaring prices.
Unless the president personally ex-
erts pressure, the bill asking an ap
preparation of 100000 for the federal
trade commission and department of
agriculture to carry out the investiga-
ton urged two weeks ago by the
president seems doomed for the scrap
heap.
Altho most members would say
nothing for publication several who
were questioned today declined to be
impressed, apparently, by the soaring
cost of living. Their arguments gen.
orally are:
why have another investigation :?
We just got thru with a 100000 leak
probe: we're threatened with another
investigation to see if anybody is in
fluencing newspapers to be pro-ally
or pro-German. Why start another ?"
