=. ing Prices of Food.

The Department Of Justice and Dis
triot Commissioners yesterday took q
hand In the food situation in Washington
to definitely determine just what condi-
tions exist here and to devise a speedy
remedy II conditions are found to be as
acute as they are generally declared to be.
The Commissioners yesterday appointed
a committee consisting of George M. Rob-
erts, superintendent OF weights and meas
ures and markets; Charles F. Nesbit su-
perintendent OF insurance. and DR.. Will
lam c. Woodward. health officer. to as
certain whether a food shortage actually
exists.
While the Department of Justice Is con-
tinuing its investigation to detect infrac-
tions OF the antitrust law. a report that
dealers of the District are preparing to
raise prices to still higher levels directed
particular attention yesterday Of the de-
partment to conditions here.
Another development in the food crisis
was the announcement last night that the
Federation OF Womens Clubs have de-
cided to wage q campaign to get at the
bottom OF the trouble. First steps in this
direction will be taken tomorrow after
noon at a conference on high prices
which will be held in the Ebbltt Hotel.

ing in Washington is being showered

new fight ON LIQUOR
FOLLOWS Law SMOKER
''Wets" Buy Kegs and "Dys" Won
Pay Bill.

The solons on Capitol Hill have nothing
on the second-year class at the National
University Law School when it comes to
a contest over the District Of Columbia
being wet" or dry"
When the class was making its prepara-
tons for Its annual smoker, held at the
Continental Hotel on the 18th instant a
resolution was passed by'a good majority
that none of the class funds should be
paid for intoxicating liquors at the
smoker and that members of the class
who wanted to indulge in alcoholic stim-
ulants should do so at their own ex-
Pense When the dry" members of the
class showed up Mt the smoker they
found two fat kegs of beer in one corner
Of the room and walters in white uniform
husily engaged in dispensing the foamy
liquid.
At its meeting last night the bills for
expense of the smoker We're hotIy con-
tested by the "drys" As treasurer of
the class. f. w. Pierce, said to be a men,
Der Of the Anti-Saloon League, protested
vehemently. In an exciting debate, last
ing until the small hours OF the morning.
and which on several occa sions develope /
into a near-riot, the matter was tempo
rarily closed by Treasurer Pierce refusing
to pay a reimbursement claim of the COM
mittee having charge of the smoker on
the technical grounds that no vouchers
had been presented showing payment by
the committee.

HEAD SAVES flag,
BUT HE'S No HERO
New Yorker May Get House Groves
Gets Free Ride.

Once upon a time there was q man.
and he hit a flag, and that flag happened
to be American, and a soldier hit the
man, and he hit the ground, and so they
planned to give the soldier a nice home
in the outskirts OF Washington for being
a hero.
Mebbe Wallace Groves, who is %, and
lives In Alexandria, Va, was thinking
of this last night. when he walked out
F street, near Thirteenth street north
east.
Anyhow, a great big, heavy stick which
had been holding an equally big Amer
lean flag, fell plump-just like that. No
body knows whether Groves tried to
dodge or not. but 1t hit him right smack
on the head.
But the flag wasn't even soiledl
Hence Groves, too, protected the flag.
But Groves didn't get a medal, or the
thanks OF Congress, or anything like
that.
All he got was a free ride to the
George Washington. Hospital. and the
opinion of the doctors that he will re-
cover.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicoso. Feb &-The wheat market finished well
toward the bottom prices today and the same may
be said Of corn and oats The sinking Of q big
Cunarder with Americans aboard was the principal
bearish help OF the day. As IL drove many Of the
larger holders out Of ther position and it caused
some selling on short account well. The wheat
market was comparatively easy to change either
toward HIGHER prices or toward lower prices be
cause Of the small trade. There was no business
to speak Of in any OF the cash grains. Millers
bought 1900 bushels wheat here but there no
sales Of cash corn oats
In sympathy with the weakness shown By wheat
the corn and oats markets were Aax and lSak
lower. respectively. Both Of these grains displayed
rather . heavy und@tone during the day. new
buying power was distinctly lacking with local
professionals inclined to press short sales.
There was another sin advance In the price uf
hog products today In sympathy with the further
uptnn In the price Of hoSz At the yard.

To PRESERVE VALLEY

Beauty of Klingle Valley.

OF a culvert under the Connecticut ave-
nue. crossing of the Klingle Valley, a
part Of Rock Creek Park. has been sent
to members OF the Senate by the execu-
tive committee OF the Connecticut Ave

amendment to the District bill contain
ing this issue. came before the Senate on
February 3 it was defeated.
