SARAH ANN TIGHE.
ONE CAUSE FOR HIGH PRICES.

Editor Social Corner: In these days of Investigating committees who seem to be blind to causes, this little Sereed from the commissioner of markets Of New York is more enlightening than one Investigating committee report in a hundred. He was looking after the government supplies sent to relieve the consumers to in measure pro- tect them from the high prices. This is the trouble he met with
 I went to the East 24th street pier to see show we were getting along nns big price for our trucks. and I wanted to be sure they were being kepf busy. When I got to the pier l found the bargemen lying on the boxes. their rolled-up coats being used as pillows The drivers of seven trucks were sit ting half asleep in their machines.
 I asked the man on the barge what the trouble was. l was told that just as they were starting to work a dele gate of their union happened along and told them they were not permit ted to load the boxes on trucks They could only put them on the pier It was the job of another labor organ iZation to get the food from the pier to the trucks
 Az the tailboards of the trucks ex- tended over the barge, l pointed out that it was easier to load the boxes on the truck than to carry them around the truck and put them on the pier. Finally the men offered a com promise They would load the boxes on to the tailpieces of the trucks they said. but I would have to get men from another union tD haul the boxes to the middle of the .~lck.
 I found the delegate of the proper union. who gos tse men who are per mitted to load the trucks We paid the barge belpers fC cents an hour l believe. The newcomers got cent box and ca cf, driver and truck COST US s32 a day. After we Eot chirES under way # didn't ,ake long to have string of trucks running from the pier to the various schools.
 But I think r got ot the req! reasons for tho nigh cost of living. That is. the 1urn Der or mer who han dle the various commodities before thev req ct the consumer. Just think, for one truck a Jriver whc cant do anything but dr!vc ore man to put a box or the tat1board. and another 10 pull thai hoS ID t.la center of the truck

cRocAETiNG FOR THE BABY.

| Dear Sisters of the Social Corenr: Those of us who like to crochet know what an advantage it Is where there are small children in the family, or one desires to make warm small garments for the little folks in other families
 At the shop where the crocheting materials are obtained you will doubt less find full directions mad patterns for any of the articles suggested
 The woman who crochets need not be at a loss to find suitable gifts for the ba eies of her acquaintance during the gift season.
 Baby cans Of knitted yarn or zephyr are attractive. particularly when made perfectly plain and to exactly fit the little head. A folded back border of pink or blue Is pretty. Colored ribbon strings are then used to match the border
 A warm crocheted sleeping bag Is a new idea and excellent one for cold nights. Modern mothers are hav- ing plenty of air in baby's sleeping apartment, and in such instances the sleeping bag is just the thing. An or dinary bag pattern may be used It Is we'll however, to fasten the bag at the top of the bag row of eyelets on ca ch side of the bag. and upon each side of center space that is large enough for baby's neck If drawstring were used there would be danger of baby's choking if the string should become entangled and drawn tant. If buttons Were to be used there might be danger of their hurting the babys soft flesh
 Besides little garments it is possible to make little washable tops of fool with yarn and the crochet needle.

TROOPS FIGHT RACE
RIOTERS IN KNOXVILLE
Two Dead and More Th'n Twenty
Injured After Two Days Of
Lawlessness


Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 31.-One
white man and two negroes were
wounded today in continuation of the
race rioting which last night resulted
in the killing of seven persons and the
wounding of more than score. In
cluded along the dead are two Nation
al Guardsmen.
Many nergoes during the night
broke into hardware stores and pawn
shops to obtain guns and ammunition.
The attack on the jail was made by
mob of more than thousand whites
who believed that the negro, Maurice
Mayes, was held there. He had been
taken to Chattanooga for safekeeping
but the mob, declining to accept the
word of the Jail officials, shot out the
windows and battered down the doors.
In gaining entrance to the Jail the riot
err permitted sixteen prisoners, several
OF them convicted murderers, to es-
cape
Troops, meeting band of armed ne
groes who refused to give way, turned
machine guns on the blacks. In the
resulting exchange Of shots, Lieuten-
ant James w. Payne Of Providence,

private by the name of Henderson
were killed
