To CONDUCT PROBE
OF AUTO ACCIDENTS
Camp Dix Officers Take Steps to
Stop Reckless Driving
of Jitneys.

Camp Dix, Wrightstown, Y. j., Sept.
2S-As result of the injury OF soldiers
and the narrow escape of Others from
death i'm a series of automobile accidents
during the last IS hours, due to over
crowding of jitneys and reckless speeding,
military authorities will probably make
cyamplcs of drivers responsible tor the
accidents. Repeated warnings from mli'-
tary police have failed tn curb the careless
ness of the jtncv men during the rush
hours. and the series of mishaps Saturday
and Sunday will force military and State
motor authorities To drastic action.
While orders from Major General Scott,
commander OF the camp. have warned the
iitncymen that they must carry no more
passengers than the original seating ca
pscity of their cars, public hIvvcrs were
speeding to Trenton and other towns tins
week lend with 10 to II passengers ana
otber larger cars overcrowded in proper
tior. Investigation showed that 1t IS the
practice of this class of jitneymen To leave
the military reservation with the proper
number of fares and crowd on all the ad-
ditional passengers for whom there Is jam
ming room inside the car or on the running
boards, once outside the reservation. Lack
OF State supervision of the public cars

miraculous escapes for the soldier pas

FOOD ADVANCES SMALL,

Increase Has Been Larger II
Centres Where Population
Has Greatly Increased.

Washington. Sept 23.-An anal
vsis of the food situation and the IN
crease IN living costs has been made
by the food administration, which holds
that increases have been greatly over
estimated bv LAYING too much emphasis
on special eases.
\ table showing the relative increases
and decreases IN costs during 1917 and
1918 vas made public to show that, ac
cording to wholesale quotations, the
average increase in the national expen-
diture for foods grouped rs breadstuffs,
vegetables. meat etc. for the second
period of 1918 was only 3.5 per cent
over the same period III 1917. This Is
arrived at. however, by placing the de
crease in the expenditure for vegetables
at IS / per cent Fruits jumped 30 per
cent. oils and nuts "a per cent, and
poultry and eggs 16.5 per cent.
The attached table, says the food
administration, rs a computation of
the national food bill for each three
months, beginning with the second quar-
ter Of 1917, down 10 the second quarter
of 1918 Il is based on taking the total
food consumed by the nation divided

that there are no local variations
sln those sections where there has
been a great local increase in population
there has been disturbance Of distri-
button and prices have increased to a
larger per cent. On the other hand there
are corresponding sections OF the com-
Inunity where actual decreases or no in
creases have taken place.
THE cost of rent, clothing, transpor-
tation and other items of living have ad-
vanced several times as much rs the ag-
gregate increase IN the cost OF food
stutfs There has been more than 81
per cent increase IN prices paid to the
