Food prices soar. So are we.
The United States amt worrying
about getting all that loan back from
Russia. Every buddy in the army Is
equipped with a pair of star spangled
bones, and the way they shake those
cubes is enough to make the Bull
sheviki take it on the loop.
The United States doesn't have to
send an army after their war loans.

Even the Cobb of Siam knows that

The Goof OF Arabia is having a
set Of express dice made that won't
stop at any local station below seven
or eleven. He shakes a mean set Of
bones and his favorite battle cry Is
"Umpga Zabbux Mooka." That's
Arabic for a long sickness is sure
death.
Although this is between you and
me. the Dardanelles were opened by
a Yank sailor armed with a pair of
water wings and a set Of celluloid

Palm Leaf with the Eleven Dots.
We loaned Europe a lot of gravy during
the war but we are still on velvet. We

Depart for Baltimore
Belgian Primate Cheered as His
Special Car Starts Off
the Short Trip

Cardinal MERCER left yesterday for
another visit to Baltimore SO great
were the crowds around the archie pis-
copal residence prior to his departure
that the chauffeur of the police motor
car assigned for his use had difficulty
getting through. Hundreds pressed
around the car to shake the hand of
the Cardinal.
At the Pennsylvania station crowds
cheered the Cardinal when he arrived.
Just before he boarded the special
car New York, which has been assigned
TO him for use as long as he is in
this country, he expressed his thanks
TO Patrolman John O'Brien, of Deputy
Commissioner Wanamaker's staff, and
reiterated his amazement at police ar
engagements for his benefit.
The Cardinal was accompanied to
his car by Monsignor John J. Dunn,
Monsignor Joseph r. Stillemans, AUX
iliary Bishop de Wachter, of Malines,
and George ]. Gillespie, chairman of
tbs Catholic Laymen's Committee of
Welcome.
The Cardinals departure prevented
his attendance at the ordination of

Stella Brown were engaged in October,
1916. Their engagement was publicly
announced at reception he asserts,
at which one Of the guests was Henry
Schleichkorn. Subsequently Miss
Brown repudiated her engagement to
Bronsten and married Mr.. Schleich-
korn. That was in May, 1917 The
matter has dragged along since then,
because both Brorstein and Schlcich-
korn entered the army The two >Ases
yesterday were placed on the calendar
for trial in October before Justice
Greenbaum.
In the answer Of Mrs Schlcichkorn
to the breach Of promise suit, made
through Samuel II. Hofstadter, she
admits the engagement. but alleges
that it was he who had failed to keep
his promise. She adds that while she
was Bronstein's fancee he subjected
her to cruel treatment and anyway
that he is untruthful.
Bronstein complains in his con
spiracy action that the affection shown
by Miss Brown for him was only pre-
tended, and in pursuance of an under
standing with Schleichkorn, to induce
Bronstein to give Miss Brown money
and articles of value, which the plain
tiff says he believes were for the
mutual use and benefit of the present
husband and wife. When no more
money and presents were Forthcoming
says Bronstein, he was Tilted and dis
carded.

In the show, as every house has been

cially so in the hunter classes. There

has more the air of being neighbour
hood affair. as no large number of out
side horses are shown.
