FOOD PRICES ARE HIGHER
HERE THAN IN DETROIT
Cost to Average Family s1a Per
Cent Greater, Says o., s. Blu.
reau Of Markets.

The cost to the average family in
Washington of food is sh per cent
greater than If the same food were
purchased in Detroit. according to fig
ures collected in the two cities July
23 by the bureau of markets of the
Department of Agriculture.
The statement accompanying the
table of comparisons explains that
these figures were collected by spe-
cialists and experts and represent
prices on thirty-seven different food
articles. The more important foods
such as potatoes. bread. fresh meats,
eggs. poultry. corn meal, fresh and
canned vegetables and breakfast
Ioods ali are more expensive here
than in Detroit. Meats are from Is to
rs per cent higher here; butter is 10
per cent higher. poultry 1871 per cent;
potatoes, IA per cent, and bread 5 per
cent.
Detroit is higher only on such ar
ticles as lard, which costs / cent a
pound more than in Washington; ham
and bacon. prunes, oranges and oleo-
margarine.
The percentage of excess prices in
washington was arrived at by
"weighting" various foods SO as to
give special consideration to those for
which the greatest percentage of the
family funds are spent. The bureau
of markets believes this to be the
fairest method in comparing prices in
different localities.

ZOO 200, 600 Acres Available.

It Is estimated that of the cut-over
and logged-off land there Is approx
mately 1000 acres suitable for agri-
cultural development. A larger per-
centage of this land Is now in private
ownership. and 1t is known that fall
ure to develop 1t Is due largely to in
adequate methods of approach, says
Secretary Lane. Unless a new policy
of development Is worked out in CO.
operation between the United States,
the states and the Individual owners,
greater part Of 1t will remain unset
tied and uncultivated. The land lies
chiefly in Washington and Oregon,
Virginia, North Carolina and South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
Other than the planning. the devel-
opment should be by the returned
soldier, according to Secretary Lanes
views.
"The dam or the irrigation project
should be built by him." Mr.. Lane
says. Tho canals. the bitches. the
breaking Of the land and the building
of the houses should. under proper
direction, be his occupation. He should
be allowed to make his own home,
cared for while he is doing it. and
which he can pay through a long
period of years, perhaps thirty or
forty years.
so that the soldier on his return
would have an opportunity to make
a homo for himself. to build home
with money which we would advance
and which he would repay. and for
the payment we would have an abun-
dant security"

ROY MURDER MYSTERY
IS NO NEARER SOLUTION
Doubtful II Lou Hall, Suspect, Can
Be Indicted Unless More Con.
uers Evidence Il Found.

One week has elapsed since fifteen-
year-old Eva Roy was murdered in
the woods near her home at Burke
Station. Va. and the county authori-
ties are no nearer q solution of the
mystery than when the crime was
discovered.

on suspicion in the Jail at Fairfax.
but consistently denies any knowl-
edge of the crime. He did his chop
ping in the woods where the child
was killed and he admits working in
the vicinity on the day the crime was
committed. Unless more concrete evil
dence Is. found, 1t is stated, it is
doubtful II the man can be indicted.
The sherih said he and Common
wealth Attorney c.. Vernon Ford are
stu working on the possibility that
a Stranger going through the woods
might nave committed the murder,
but no one in the neighborhood has
been found who saw any one go into
or come out of the woods that day.
County authorities today expressed
doubt that there was human hair ON
the twtg Of a tree which Sheriff Al
lison found on the ground where the
crime was committed. What was re-
ported as hair is now believed to be
shreds of the fiber in the wood.

berland, one of three sons of Mrs.

place, all of whom are in the serv-
ice. He is with the 35th Engineers
in France. The fact that her boy
should look so well after three
months active service at the front
led Mrs. Cumberland to forward the
picture to The Star for the benefit
of mothers who fear for tho health
of their sons over there.

RAILWAYS SOON TO NEED WOMEN
AS CLERKS AND ACCOUNTANTS

Thousands Of women will be drawn
into railroad employment within the
next few months to take the place of
men entering the Army and going to
other industries. according to plans
now being formulated by the railroad
administration. Women are to be en-
ployed extensively as clerks in rail-
way offices, as expert accountants.
ticket sellers, station agents, crossing
watchmen. car cleaners and to some
extent as track laborers.
A survey of different classifications
of railway positions which might be
filled by women will be undertaken
soon, possibly by a committee of wom-
en- to be named by Director General
McAdoo. Consideration will be given
to the questions of the health of wom-
en- and also to the element of safety
in employing them for certain work.
The general policy of railroads under
Evening star., 1918-08-13

government operation will be to pay
women the same wages paid men for
similar services.
This course will not result in the
dismissal of any men, since the de-
mand for workers in nearly all fields
of railway employment already ex-
ceeds the supply. In employing con-
siderable numbers of women Ameri-
can railroads will be doing wnat Eng
lish and French railways were COM
PEELED to do long ago.
Training schools for ticket agents
are being held in Washington and New
York and, another school has been au-
thorized for Chicago. Women with
high school education and good health
between the ages of twenty-one and
thirty-hve are given two months of
instruction in simple accounting and
railroad geography and are paid S25
month while learning. Afterward
they are assured of employment at
800 a month.

WHEN THEY RETURN FROM WAR

when the soldier % 1885 laid down

public domain. which he helped to
into the worlds richest farms
and cities. The government was able
to point tho way to . method by
which the returned soldier was able
to turn his talents for . livelihood.
and the government now is laying the
groundwork to have similar land
available when the great war ends
and the millions of American soldiers
return to civil life.
While the vast domain that awaited
the civil war veteran cannot be dupli-
Gated for those who return from the

lions of acres which can be made
available with proper legislation and
subsequent development. and which,
according to the present plans, will
be offered to the returning soldier
with ample time to pay for the cost

cept it.

Congress will be asked for legisla-
tion to make this land available, ac-
cording to the present plans of Sec
Lane and congressional leaders.
