the underwater:vessel lwasSfrightened
away.
It was a clear day at sea. The big
American ship was steaming toward
harbor. Everybody was intent upon
his particular work on board, and
nothing out Of the ordinary % vas a. sa.
a call from the lookout:
Some ones firing at us"
Members of the crew ran aft and
there saw shells flip into the waves
one after another several thousand
yards back of the ship. Through
sighted about four miles OF. with
gun crews operating nve-inch guns at
each end of the submersible.
Immediately the ships gun crew
went at it A reckless but scienttno
Nearer came the shells of tho u
boat. Closer to the U-boat plunged
the shells from the ship.
After fifteen shots had been nred
by the Hun and eight or nine by the
ship. the Hun crew ducked for shell

1t costs the average family consid-
erably more to purchase food in
Washington than in Cincinnati. Ohio,
according to figures collected by
specialists and experts in the two
cities on Jtly 23. for the information
of the bureau of markets of the De-
partment of Agriculture.
In arriving at the comparative
prices, quotations were obtained on
thirty-seven different food articles.
According to a statement issued by
the bureau OF markets. Washington
was higher on thirty-one of these ar
ticles. In making an average COM
parison of the prices. by means of
what the bureau considers the fairest
method, the food prices in Washing
ton were 1853 per cent in excess OF
those prevailing in the Ohio city.
In the statement given out with a
table of figures showing comparisons
the bureau says:
'The figures show Washington food
prices to be higher than those of
large portion Of the other items listed.
I'm the bread and bread-substitute
group Washington is considerably
higher. except on rice. This group
is Important on account of the guam
tity consumed and is largely re-
sponsfble for Washington's high per-
centage of excess over Cincinnati.
I'm the dairy products the differ
ences in the two cities are not SO
marked Washington being somewhat
higher on butter and eggs and Gin
cinnati higher on oleomargarine and
cheese.
I'm the fresh meat group Washing
ton is from to 43 per cent higher
than Cincinnati.
"In the cured meat group Washing
ton is slightly higher on bacon, with
Cincinnati higher on ham.
I'm the -four and corn meal group
Washington is considerably higher.
In the remaining groups the price
differences are rather inconsistent,
with Washington slightly higher in
most cases."
