DURING CITY RACE~RIOTS
Provided for Policemen and Home
Defense Men, as Well as
Soldiers and Sailors.

Members of the Washington police
department and the Home Defense
League and details of soldiers, sailors
and marines in Washington during
the race riots last week did not want
for food and drink during their
arduous and dangerous duty. 1t was
estimated yesterday that more than
1000 members of the uits assisting in
suppressing the riots were fed nightly
by the American Red Cross through
it's District chapter.
Midnight refreshments served by
women of the District chapter came
to the men on guard at a time when
practically all the restaurants in the
vicinity of precinct station houses
were closed. During the early stages
of the trouble women of the canteen
corps were relieved at pm. by field
directors from the various hospitals
and districts near the city, who re-
manned on duty throughout the night.
Beginning Wednesday night the
Union station canteeners prepared the
food under the direction of Mrs. l. w.
Littell and Mrs. Eldridge Z. Jordan,
chairman and vice chairman, respec-
lively, and the work of distribution
was carried out by the home service
guards in the quiet zones and Red
Cross workers in those precincts in
which trouble was anticipated. Ivan

TWO D. c. WOMEN GET
HOME FROM OVERSEAS
Mrs. Mabel Kipp-Lewis and Mrs.
W. Wallace Chisweu in
Red Cross Service.

Two Washington women, connected
overseas, have arrived in Washing
ton after thrilling experiences with
the American expeditionary forces.
They are Mrs. Mabel Kipp-Lewis of
1740 Riggs place. an entertainer in
camps about Washington before be-
ing sent abroad and Mrs.SW. Wallace
Chiswell of 1850 Biltmore street Mrs.
Kipp-Lewis was Red Cross director
of entertainment at Hyeres. France,
and Mrs. ChiSwell was a motor driver
with the J. Borden Hartman unit.
When orders came to close the in
situations for convalescent soldiers
in her territory, May Is, Mrs. Kipp-
Lewis took leave of absence to visit
Brittany and Belgium. There she saw
the devastation wrought by war, and
visited the ruins of the cathedral at
Rheims and the ruins of the town o.
St. Quentin. She sailed from Brest
July 5.
Mrs Chiswell was sent to France in
September. 1918, as an automobile
driver under Mrs. j. Borden Harri-
man. when I reached France I was
stationed in Paris and was required
to rise every morning for four months
at $50 o'clock and, with other mem
bers of the motor corps, ride two
miles to the garage at Neullly,' Mrs.
Chiswell says in-speaking of her ex-
periences. ut was our duty to drive
caminets in the beginning. and be
assured we had enough difficulty with
the cars. as they did not have de-
mountable rims, and burned oil lamps.
The worst thing we had to contend
with was French inner tube on an
American rim"
After the signing Of the armistice,
Mrs Chiswell visited the Verdun,
Rheims and Ypres fronts.

WASHINGTON FOOD LED
PRICES IN BIC CITIES
Cost 5 Per Cent More Here Than
Elsewhere in April; Big
Jump in Year.

Food prices in Washington for the
were about 5 per cent higher than
those in other cities of 5000 popula-
ton or over. The Washington house.
wife, for example, paid So cents for
a pound of sirloin steak in the month,
while in Pittsburgh it could have
been purchased for As. and in Cleve-
land or Chicago for 80 cents. In New
Orleans the same article cost 81 cents
a pound.
These facts are shown in the
monthly labor review for June. pub
lished by the Department of Labor.
The price scale on which frugal buy
ers in Washington purchased articles
of food is shown by the following
comparative price list compiled by
food: In Washington round steak cost
4s cents: plate beef. "a cents; pork
chops, 46 cents; sliced bacon, SO cents;
lamb. As cents; butter. Is cents; eggs,
40 cents; and potatoes 3 cents a
pound.
Contrasting these prices with those
for San Francisco, to take a city sit
uated approximately an equal dis
lance from packing centers and
from the, great distributing centers
of the midwest, the review says that
round steak could be bought in the
far western city for SO cents, plate
beef for % cents. pork chops for A
cents, sliced bacon for 81 cents, an
increase over the Washington price,
lamb for 33 cents, butter for 81 cents,
eggs for SO cents and potatoes for 8
cents a pound.
Other cities showed a similar ratio
of lower prices on the average than
those in Washington.
The price of food for the United
States as a whole showed an increase
of per cent for April as compared
with March, 1919. twenty-six of the
forty-one articles being higher in
April than they were in March. The
greatest increase was shown in cab
bage, onions. pork chops, potatoes,
butter, lard and -four
Bread, rice and sugar showed no
change in price. In April, 1919, the
cost of all articles of food combined
was is per cent higher than in April
1918. Onions were 100 per cent higher
than year ago. Other articles show
ing an increase are butter and pota-
toes. Al per cent; prunes. 80 per cent ;
coffee. % per cent; cheese, 90 per
cent, and sugar and eggs, 16 per cent
each.
