PREPARE DEFINITE PLAN TO
LOWER FOOD COST

Washington, Feb. 24.-SOme def

pected within a few days, govern
ment officials said today. Confer
ences between the president, men,
bers Of his cabinet and acting Chair
man Denman of the United States
shipping board promised to bring
concerted government action along
different lines, Immediately affecting
the food crisis.
Atty Gen. Gregory, whose depart
ment has been continually at work
for weeks on the high cost of living
question, promises an important an
nOuncement soon"
Numbers of senators are known to
favor federal purchase of great food
supplies for distribution to the pub
lie "at reasonable prices"
Among those considering this plan
are Senators Borah, LaFollette ana
Kenyon. In event it is adopted, they
will urge the war department as the
distributing agency.

HEALTH COM'R MOVES AGAINST
CHICAGO FOOD HOGS

STllNHNO FOOD F1OGO
If Chicago is to get any real legal
action against the food hogs it looks
as if the first step will be made by
Health COm'r Robertson. The mayor
and the police, in spite of an ordi-
nance that gives them the power to
act against the fOrestalling Of food,
remain in their trance.
Robertson, with limited power, has
ordered an investigation of the
amount of food commodities that
are stored in cold storage waiting
higher prices. Police are now check
ing up.
In this way Robertson can show
up the men responsible for the food
shortage and by lot of unpleasant
publicity place the evidence at the
doors of the proper authorities.
In spite of protests to the inter-
state commerce CONN by Pres. Crit
fin of the Board of Trade, the rail-
roads are making no efforts to re-
ieve the freight car shortage. Thou
sands of workmen have been laid off
by the roads and by the shippers be-
cause of the refusal on the part of
the roads to send empty freights to
Chicago.

NEW YORK, March 8.-Having serv-

sentenced for disseminating birth con-
troll information in New York City,
Mrs. Margaret Sanger. national leader
OF the birth control movement was re-
leased today.
Mrs. Sanger, unlike her sister, Mrs.
Ethel Byrne, did not hunger strike in
tie prison at Blackwell's Island. She
served her time quietly and made the
best of her opportunity to study prison
conditions.
&c; have gathered a great deal Of
material which l shall use in my flu
ture writings" said Mrs. Sanger today,
but l did not break any of the prison
rules nor attempt to do anything out
OF the ordinary that would make me
trouble.
u was sent to prison unjustly, but
many persons have had the same thing
happen to them. l shall continue my
birth control propaganda work just the
same as was doing it before my ar

IN PRICE OF
PAPER CALLED VICTORY
FOR WILLIAM ]. HARRIS

ATLANTA, Ca, March 8.-When w.
]. Harris, of Georgia, member u
the Federal Trade commission. and
better known to his friends as "Bill"
Harris, goes after anything he usually
gets it-as those who know him Will
testify.
And when the newspapers of the
country hit their hardest blow In the
history of the publishing industry,
asked bill" Harris to go after the
high prices of white paper, he took off
his coat and rolled up his sleeves and
went to work with his usual energy
and determination.
AS a result of the Federal Trade
commissions investigation, the paper
manufacturers, to save themselves
from prosecution, have agreed to let
the commission name the price at
which they will sell paper. While this
agreement may not have the effect of
Immediately reducing prices, it is ex-
pected at least to prevent a further
advance: and also is expected to grad
ually restore prices to their former
level.

BY VISCOUNT BRYCE

BY VISCOUNT BRYCE
Former British Ambassador to the
United States)
LONDON, March 8.-The slaughter
OF between seven and eight hundred
thousand Armenians by the Turks
since the beginning of the war re-
veals the Armenians quite as much
martyrs to Christianity as any of the
early Christians who died in Nero's
arena.
There are today more than million
Armenians and Syrians starving to
death in Asia Minor, Syria, the Rus
sian Caucasus, Persia and Palestine.
The relief work for them in America
is in charge of the American Commit
tee for Armenian and Syrian Relief in
New York
In the history of the early Christian
church there are no figures so glor-
ious, none which have continued to be
so much honored by the church all
through it's later days as those Of the
martyrs, men and women who from
the time of Nero down to that of Do
clestian sealed with their blood the
testimony to their faith withstanding
every lure and every threat in order to
preserve to their faith loyalty to their
Lord and Master Christ.
In our own times we have seen this
example of fidelity repeated in the
Turkish Empire. and it is strange
that the Christians of Europe and
America should not have been moro
moved by the examples Of courage
and heroic devotion which the Armen-
ian Christians have given. OF the
seven or eight hundred thousand If
Armenians who have persisted in the
recent massacres many thousands
have died as martyrs, by which
mean they have died for their Christ
ian faith, when they could have saved
their lives by renouncing it.
This has, perhaps, not been realized
even by those who in Europe or
America have read of and been horri-
fed by the wholesale slaughter and
hideous cruelties by which half of all
ancient nation has been exterminated.

to have a soft heart, and any girl
knows what she can do with man who
has soft heart.
But the shape of head is the most
important. The space in front of the
ears contain that part Of the brain that
makes the intellect The space behind
directs the animal instinct. A hus-
band must have both for his wife to
be happy. So if he is fiat headed eth
err way, let him alone. If he's round
headed it means that he is evenly bal
anced.
Better let the high-brow alone un-

sharply from his eyebrows like a
cocoanut may be good on poetry and
Greek dances. He may even be orna-

better husband than high-brows. on the
theory that it is better to be beaten oc-
casionally than to starve to death.

Christians Are Martyrs In
Turkey Today as They We're
In The Times ofNero s Rule

They can hardly understand how there
should be religious persecution in our
times; so let me try to explain the
facts.
1t was not religious fanaticism that
led the present rulers of Turkey u
seek to root out Christianity. So far
from being fanatics, most Of these
men, though nominally MohammedanS
have no religion whatever. Their aim
was political. They wanted to make
the whole Turkish Empire Mohamme'
dan in order to make it uniform, with
only one creed and no differences be-
tween one class of subjects and an
other. They saw that the Christian
part of the population, suffering under
constant oppressions and cruelties,
continued to turn its eyes westward
and hope for some redress from the
Christian nations; so they determin-
ed to eliminate Christianity alto
gether.
During these recent massacres
whenever any Christian would turn
Mohammedan his life was spared. 1t
was only as a Christian that he was
killed. Many Christian child was
torn from its parents to be brought up
as a Mussulman. Thousands of Ar
menian Christian girls were sold in the
market and distributed among Turk
ish officers to be imprisoned for life
in Turkish harems and there forced
into Mohammedanism. But many more
thousands of Armenians, women as
well as men, were offered their choice
between Christ and Mohammed, and
when they refused Mohammed were all
shot or drowned forthwith. For days
and days together the bodies of Christ
ian women who had thus persisted
we're seen floating down the Euphra-
tes river.
Surely the remains of this suffer
ing nation could make no stronger
appeal for pity and help to Christians
of America than they make through
these martyr deaths. Only remnant
is now left to whom charity can be
extended. 1t Is still sorely afflicted
remnant.
