very great chance. Miss Claire has
proved her cleyerness, her versatility
and, above all, her good taste, time
and again during the last FIVE years.
In "Thc Quaker Girl" and for two
years in Mr.. Ziegfeld's "Follies," she
has handled her material with a sure
dizziness and a light sparkle possessed
by few of our condolences.
Miss Claire regards her present en-
gagement as the start of her career.
Up TO now, she says (she is just
twenty-five years and six months OF
agc) she has been experimenting, hav-
ing taken a fling at vaudeville, at
pictures, at musical comedy, at revue
and what not. Even though Mr..

light of day in Urbana, Ohio. After
looking at it for fourteen years he
moved to Chicago. Although there was
not so much light there, Mr.. Hubbell
took kindly to his new home, and set
about organizing small orchestra
which was soon in great demand at
social dances, dinners and such like.
There were times when this organiza-
ton numbered as many IS fifty must
clans, and it was while welding the
baton at such soirees that the noble
melodies which have since flown from
his pen were conceived.
Electrically speaking, Mr.. Hubbell
was discovered by the late Sam :.
Shubert, who engaged him to write
"The Runaways," his first successful

Knight for a Day." "The Midnight

others were among his early successes.

Turnips ~ a Cow Feed.

Turnips have a distinct tendency to-
ward tainting milk when fed to COWS.
This is unfortunate, for turnips are
easily grown, yield largely, are pal
atable, and cattle do well feeding upon
them. They are excellent for feeding
dry stock and young stuff, but they
should be used sparingly for feeding
COWS giving milk. They may be fed In
limited amounts by feeding them I'M

Distributing Methods for Cys Food Assaled by Perkins

Single Savaon-No Relief in Sight

potatoes is as much a part of Ameri-
can life as f. Pluribus Unum.'
If the present food shortage con
tinues New York will face serious riot
ing by crowds driven rebe'lious by
hanger, Mr. Hartigsn believes.
These riots have been going on on
a small scale for two weeks or more
ne said. There are thousands ana
thousands OF people right here in this
city who have not had enough 70 eat
for many weeks, according to their old
standards. And they do not know
enough TO change their diet without
hurting il. There has been such tre-
mendous pressure that the discomfort
is bound 10 break out"
"No permanent relief from high
rrices and shortage of food supplies in
New York City can be obtained until
some centralized municipal body is cs-
tsblished TO have control OF the food
situation" declared Mr.. Perkins.
THE bill introduced in the Legis-
lature for the third time last Friday
cmbodying the suggestions of the Cow
ornor's market commission for a mu-
nicipal department of markets contains
the greatest single measure of relief
that can be adopted" he continued.
THE three principal causes underly-
ing the present high prices and short
age of foodstufs are the drainage OF
supplies by large exports to Europe,
the short crops of last year. and the
increasing cost Of distributing foods
here because of the antiquated sys-
TEN Of handling them in New York.

Food prices in New York City contin-

fight was led by potatoes. which
jumped from 50 to $3.50 for loo

followed in their trail. Only one thing
fell in price. Onions are now selling
for Sl4 a hundredweight. a decrease OF
$3.50 from their former price. but they
are still six times as valuable as they
were al this season last year.

Attack Police in Riot

simultaneously with the appearance
of the rioting women at the City Hall
food riots spread TO The Bronx, where
serious trouble. resulting in six ar
rests and the destruction Of the stock
of score of pushcart pedlers, broke
out in Bathgate Avenue.
Police reserves from the fremont
station struggled with a mob of l,OOO
women, who had rushed along Bathgate
Avenue, overwhelmed the two patrol
men on post and routed the pedlers or
upset their carts.
The market, which extends from
Claremont Parkway TO 172d Street. is
in a congested Jewish neighborhood
Yesterday morning marketers found
that the price of potatoes had risen
overnight TO 10 cents a pound ana
that of onions to Is cents. through
out the morning there were hot DIS
putes between pedlers and woud-be
purchasers. Groups of women, gather
ing at street corners, discussed the
situation angrily.
About IL o'clock an old man bought
a bag of onions at one of the push
carts. Mrs. Mary Kiffel, thirty-seven,
Of 1887 Fulton Avenue, The Bronx, tore
the bag from his hands. Other pickets
ioiued Mrs. Kifel, and when Patrolman
Nolan demonstrated with her they at
tackled him. His police whistle brought
Patrolman REIN. They succeeded in
placing Mrs. Kifel under arrest. This
was the signal for violent attack by
the rapidly growing mob Of women.
The policemen were being roughly
handled when the reserves arrived. BY
this time there were 1000 screaming
women fighting to get at the two po-
.icemen. Buttons and insignia were
torn from the uniforms Of the re-
serves, their cans were knocked off
and trampled in the cutters and their
faces were scratched and bleeding.
They finally forced their way to the
beleaguered patrolman, who had man
aged to hold Mrs KiffeL With four
other women and a man she was
pushed into butcher shop. Fruit and
vegetables from overturned pushcarts
and sticks and stones were hurled at
the reserves. The arrival of the pa
troll wagon caused another onslaught
by the mob.

Farmers Holding Back
Bulk of Potato Supply

Albany, Feb. 20.--Potato crop figures
in the office of Charles S. Wilson, State
Commissioner of Agriculture, show
that, aside from the European war de-
mands, the unprecedented high price of
the tubcr is due to an actual shortage
Of crops and the fact that the farmers
are holding on TO about four-ifth' OF
the marketable supply. The State Com
missioner is unable to say whether the
shortage is due to any cause other than
the bad weather conditions of last
spring. which induced potato rot
No data are available at the office Of
the State department of Agriculture,
Commissioner Wilson said, to show
whether during the last two years less
acreage of potatoes has been planted
in New York than heretofore The crop
estimates of the Federal Department
Of Agriculture show, however. that the
total potato production in New York
State for the 1861 market was $780,
600 bushels more than for 1876. But
for the two last years the total produc-
tion has been about five million
bushels less than half the total pro-
auction for the crop year l914-r5.
Practically the only statistical infor-

nation on potato crops and prices IN
the State Agricultural Department is
based on the Federal monthly crop re-
port. In reply to inquiry as to the
spectacular rise Ia potato and other
vegetable prices Mr.. Wilson pointed to
the Federal report of potato stocks on
January /. which stated:
"A decided shortage of marketable
potatoes existed in the United States
January /, according TO reports of po-
tato growers and handlers. Supplies on
hand January 1, 1917, for market IN
nineteen important Northern potato
growing states are estimated 10 be
about A. rer cent smaller than year
ago, 65 per cent smaller than two years
ago and a per cent smaller than the
average holdings on January l of tie
preceding five years.
New York State is the only one of
the nineteen states which shows an
increase of potato production during
the last year. The total production
was 100000 bushels, as against 81
90. 900 bushels in 1915 and 53,2l5,0OO
bushels in 1914. On January l, how
ever, the supply for market in New
York State was only three-fourths of
the supply on hand year ago, in spite
of the increase. The January l stocks
totalled 9,1S4,O00 bushels. Of this
amount the surprising total of 1870
600 bushels is still in the growers
hands, and only 1,334,000 bushels in
the dealers hands.
