Cent In Vegetables by This
Unusual Demand

San Francisco, Feb. THE east IS
Ioutbidding the west for western produce

were on the climb today.
Eggs today are retailing for 40 cents
Ia dozen. a few days ago they were 35

eastern wholesalers win pay 40 cents
dozen for them in carload lots, and re-
tail them in New York City for 90
Icents.
Butter costs 45 cents 4 pound retail.
Last year it was 80 cents Carloads Of

lbled up BY the east at fancy prices,
leaving none for the west.
| Nearly two months ago new potatoes

retail for five cents pound in San
Francisco, Now they can't be had at
any price, and If they could, they would
probably be worn for watch charms.

The fact that Secretary Frazier and

that the Orleans was to be given a
royal welcome.
At the offices of Kerr Steamship

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. 23.-To "po-

question today.

that potatoes either will be eliminated

SHIP OWNERS NOT
AFRAID Of GERMANY
With Guns and Gunners Furn-
ished VIII Sail Ships
As Usual

Washington, Feb. 23.-If the navy
department will furnish defensive guns
and gun crews, the American line will
keep its ships running on regular sched
ule through the barred zones on the
seas, submarines or no submarines This
in effect, it became known today, was
what p. A. S. Franklin, president of
the American line told Secretary Dan
iel during the conference yesterday.
1t was learned at the navy depart
ment today that President Franklin
told Daniels he tried to get armament
from private corporations and had
failed. Franklin also told Daniels thai
even had he been successful OF h.s
search Tor guns, he would have been
unable to get anyone who could shoot
them, unless the navy department eamt
to his rescue.
There was every indication today
that this government has no intention
Immediately, at least, of complying
with the American line request.
The government feels there are many
questions involved in furnishing gun:
and gunners, the most important being
the danger that might arise from gun
ner accidentally precipitating actua
warfare, through haste or accident, leaN
ing this government with responsible
ty of having brought about the situa
ton, through furnishing merchantmen
with guns and crews.
President Wilson has reiterated many
finae fhat ha iS determined Thp ouus OF
responsibility for any war between the
United States and Germany must res
on the imperial government and fol
that reason there appears little likli
hood now that American merchantmen
will be armed, at least by the govern
ment
Franklin gave Daniels to understand
that if his company was provided will
guns and crews he would operate thu
ships on regular schedule. Daniels sale
Franklin had asked for the guns an(
crews ten days ago, explaining that he
could not obtain them from any othel
source.
The question OF conveying the Ship
was also discussed by Franklin. M
such step could be taken without res
olution from congress. Daniels intimat
ed that he, personally, was not consid
ering asking for such a resolution.
"The situation is entirely unchang
ed, z said Daniels Nothing has beel
determined upon.

SPRING TIPS.
Points About Lines and
the Newest Touches.

The straight line dress presupposes
the use Of a girdle or belt. The
apron string girdle has been In fashion
for Mt least three seasons, aud It seems
advisable to swing the pendulum In
the opposite direction and to ring In
the sash effects. The wider belts will
serve to emphasize the elongated waist
line and also to give greater accentua-
tion to the 1attening OF the hips and
enlargement of the waist Itself.
Those who like the chemise dress
will be able to continue It's wear for
several weeks to come. 1t Is very
probable that the slip-over dress which
fastens on the shoulder will be devel-
oped In linens and silks as the season
advances and the demand comes for
summer models. or course it is likely
that new name will be thought out
for dresses that repeat more or less
faithfully the fashion features OF the
current season.
For the average woman many at
tractive dresses are being evolved that
show the normal waistline-that Ia,
the bodice is a bit loose about the
waist and the girdle is so arranged
that there is no inclination toward a
definite delineatioD of the waistllne.
Because of the liking for medieval
effects there is a disposition to employ
great quantities of metallic tissues
and glitterlng laces in combination
with mock jewels. Lanvln, for exam
pie. has sent over an afternoon frock,
the upper section of which is a shinl-
mering foundation of cloth Of gold Gov
cred with gold lace, which is elaborat-
ed with wonderful beads and embroid-
cry. One instinctively thinks Of the
crown jewels of some eastern poten-
tate, so gorgeous is the ensemble.
This frock has round collarless
neck and sleeves that do not reach to
the elbow. The cuirass form of bodice
is more pronounced because of the
plain skirt of indigo blue satin. The
latter spreads out little from the
edge Of the long bodice toward the hip
line. and thence to the ankles it is
shaped inwardy on gradual line that
gives the new silhouette.

Window Group.

The window group presents many
difficulties 10 the feminine heart. But
what could be more simple than to
forget the wooden trims separating
the window units and treat the group
ing as one window? The glass cur
tains may be two or fOur-that Is,
with an opening only In the center of
the middle window. or with the open
ing at this point and in the center also
of the two side windows These thin
curtains should reach only TO the stills.
In providing for the Overdrapery two
side Grapes only need be taken into
consideration and should hang to the
bottom of the sill trim. Occasionally
these may be held In place by band
Of the same material, which may or
may not be finished with a bow. But
great care should be used not to use
this treatment wrongly. for the looped
back curtains of older times were
worse than eyesores, and any sugges'
ton OF like horror today is to be
avoided.
The two end side drapes should then
be connected across the top by fulled
and simple valance.

Legs and l0ins of lamb and mutton
