WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-"Milk and
butter supplies are decreasing in the
United States. while our population is

tration in a statement on dairy condi-
tions issued to-day. "The dairy herds
of Europe are diminishing rapidly be-
cause Of the conditions created by
war, and there is no probability of
improvement. The dairy problem in
this country. therefore. is not only a
war emergency problem, but one that
will continue after the war.
"The high price Of fodder and meat
in the United States during the last
few months, induced by the pressing
European demand. has set up danger
Gus currents in this country, especially
in those regions dependent upon the
sale OF butter and milk to municipal
ties, having made it more profitable 10

them and produce dairy products

BE not only intrins.cslly one of our
cheapest animal food. but is abso-
lutely fundamental to the rearing OF

"The people must realize the vital
dependence OF the wellbeing of their
children, and thus of the nation, upon
the encouragement and upbuilding of
the industry. We must save the waste
in milk and butter if we are to provide
milk supplies TO all, especially includ-
ing the children Of the crowded dis
tricts Of our cities"

bride" of 9 Months
Found She Was Single
Fourth Wife of Washington
Burton Asks $25O,000 for
Breach of Promise

Miss Lillian A. Underhill, who says
that she lived with Washington Bur-
ton as his fourth wife for nine months
before she discovered that she wasn't
really married to him at all, sought
reparation for the alleged deception in
the Supreme Court yesterday, where
she filed a breach of promise suit for
S25O,00O.
Burton is a manufacturer of flavor
ing extracts, and, according to his
onetime fourth wife, married (in New
Jersey in 1912, shortly after he had
divorced Wife No. in South Dakota
on the ground OF cruelty and abandon
ment.
From the day of their marriage,
Miss Underhill says in her suit, the
favored his fourth ro-
nance with deceit. She alleges that
the decree by which Burton obtained
his divorce in South Dakota was void
in New Jersey. She adds that he knew
it, and says that after they had spent
tEeir nine months of supposedly
welded life in New York, New Jersey,
Michigan and Porto Rico
ne informed her that he was not her
husband at all
When he had convinced her of this
fact by telling her that his third wife
never been in the jurisdiction of
the South Dakota court, Wife No. 4
continues, she left him and immediate
ly began proceedings for the annul-
ment of the marriage. This was ac-
in 1914.
The $25O.000 for which Miss Under
hill asks in her suit represents sew
eral things of which, she says, she has
been deprived because of her unsuc-
cessful venture into mstrimony.
Among these she lists social position
and the right to share in the estate of
the defendant. She also says that she
suffered great humiliation and mental,
as we'll as physical, distress, and adds
that she spent $4,000 for troussesu.

Bang! bang!

Bang! bang!
Special Officer William Kaelder, on
guard at the 145th Street bridge, aoan-
doned the rail over which nc had been
pcering into the muddy waters of the
Harlem and looked about him suspi-
ciously. The explosions had come
from the Manhattan end of the bridge
and they sounded like revolver shots.
Kaelder ran in the direction OF the

The rear door of the junkshop burst

the man had disappeared.
And following the puff and the bull,

but dived into the Harlem, where the
head of his quarry was just bobbing to
the surface.
