The suit of the Commercial Cable

Postmaster General Burleson from
exercising further control OF the cable
lines was argued in the Supreme

cause 1t was not necessary for the

BOOK CALLS ON PALMISTRY
AND PSYCHOLOGY INCREASE
Out of Supply of Fifty Books There Are
Never More Than Two On
Shelves At Anytime

Mister. have you a book about
palm reading?"
There are some nifty books on
palmistry and psychic science in the

reading about spirits, and mediums,
and controls" The supply of books
on these subjects in the library is
always exhausted and hundreds OF
people are turned away disappointed
over their failure to secure a book
on their favorite subject.
Call Number ssB. U. G.-
Curiously enough, the call number
for such books in the Public Library
is 'B. U. c., though the librarian
insists that it is entirely accidental.
You see," he explained, "the call
for books on philosophy is b. and
for the sub-head on folk lore u We
class books on pamlistry, etc, under
this call"
Calls for books on palmistry usually
come from young people and the old

said, "or again it might be the infiu-

band Wants to Marry
Another Woman.

Mrs. Jewel NJ. Vaughn OF 1904 Vir-
ginia avenue southwest. wife Of Po-
liceman Willard D. Vaughn. filed suit
against her husband yesterday for
maintenance.
Mrs, Vaughn states that, although
her husband earns $40 a month, he
has only contributed so monthly for
the support of his child since August
1, 1913.
The couple were married, the pc
tition states, I'm Alexandria in De-
cember. 1913. The child. Merrill w.
Vaughn, is at present, Mrs. Vaughn
states, in her care.
The wife declares that Vaughn no
tilted her that he intended to pro-
vide for her no longer after August
l, 1918, and has since refused to make
her allowance. The $50 a month al
lowance, Mrs. Vaughn states, was
for their child.
Woman Forced to Sue.
Because of her husbands failure to
provide for her. she tells the court,
she has been compelled to seek en-
ployment and has been employed in
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing.
Despite the fact that she has been
faithful wife, Mrs Vaughn says,
her husbands treatment of her has
been harsh ard unkind- He ordered
her out of the house several times,
she AYERS.
The cause of this i'll treatment, Mrs.
Vaughn declares, is that her hus-
band intends forcing her to seek a
divorce so he can marry another
woman.

Who Benefits by High Prices?

You feel that retail meat prices are too
high.
Your retailer says he has to pay higher
prices to the packers.
Swift & Company prove that out of
every dollar the retailer pays to the
packers for meat, cents is for packers
profit, IS cents is for operating expenses,
and IS cents goes to the stock raiser; and
that the prices of live stock and meat
move up and down together.
The live stock raiser points to rising
costs of raising live stock
Labor reminds us that higher wages
must 60 hand in hand with the new cost
of living.
No one, apparently, is responsible. No
one, apparently, is benefited by higher
prices and higher income.
We are all living on a high-priced scale.
One trouble is that the number of dollars
has multiplied faster than the quantity of
goods, so that each dollar buys less than
formerly.
