PROHIBITION BLAMED
FOR DEAR Strawberries
DRY" Period Made Tremendous Demand
for Ice Cream and Soft Drinks and
That Meant the Preserving of
Strawberries to Greater
Extent Than Ever.

Philadelphia, July 20 Correspondence
of the Associated Press --Prohibitio
indirectly produced an extraordinary
condition in the strawberry market this
year.
Prices went higher than ever before,
because a Chicago packing house opened
what was said to be the largest fruit
preserving plant in the world, in the
heart of the strawberry district of Della
ware and the eastern shore of Maryland
and bought the product of great berry
producing fields virtually without regard
to cost, to meet the tremendous demand
for ice cream and soft drinks produced
by the dry period.
Strawberries that normally sold for
from five to ten cents quart were
snapped up at from 80 to 81 cents. The
price - the consumer never went below
80 cents this season. Strawberry syrup
for favoring soda water formerly sold
at IS cents gallon is now quoted at
$3.50 gallon,
Farmers are srated. Many of them
made an average of $1,000 an acre on
their strawberry crop, and they are look
ing forward to big profits next year.
The packers, when the strawberry sea,
son was over, sent their employees to
other work and closed the factory.

How COrnhakes Are Made Crisp.

These days the popular foods are those
that spare us time, energy and heat in
the preparation and serving. The crisp,
rich, toasted corn flakes now put on the
market seem like direct answer to the
housewives oft sighed wish. The Ar
mour company tells how this process is
gone through.
In the making of first quality cereals
the selection of a quality grain is i'm
portant. A great grain company is al
ways able TO procure the choicest grains
coming to market by reason of its large
grain business. Their splendid corn
fakes are made from choicest quality
corn grits (hominyl, refined sugar, ce-
real flavor and bit OF salt for season
ing The quality is safeguarded by lab
orstory tests and care in selection Of ma
terials. The corn grits are inspected and
placed, thoroughly clean, in storage bins
from which they are mechanically con-
veyed to big revolving cookers.
After flavoring is added, the corn is
steamed, then aired and dried and placed
in storage tanks to season. In due time
they are put through the taking ma

In the packing room the machinery
does fascinating work First there is a
machine which forms the carton, then
folds and seals the bottom. While the
carton is travelling along a conveyor
wax paper bags are inserted in it TO re-
ceive and protect the flakes
These high grade corn fakes are pre-
cisely weighed and breakage of flakes is
at minimum. The cartons are then

SOLDIERS IN WAR OF 1912.
Warm Defense of Them by a Histori-
an

John NJ. Stahl, former president of
the Society of the War of 1912, of Hi
nois, rises to an animated defense of
the American soldier in what is often
referred to as the second war of Ameri-
can independence. Not too calmly does
he attack the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
historical and edueational-which charge
Winder's small army at Bladensburg
with cowardice, but not with half the
bitterness that seems to be justified by
the facts Of amazing inaccuracy and
grievous injustice arrayed by him against
them. His is a manly attitude toward the
American soldiers who proved themselves
both at Plattsburg and at New Or
leans, more than match, man for man,
for the seasoned veterans opposed to
them. His work is in two separate vol
umes. "The Battle of Plattsburg" and
"The Invasion of Washington" and both
are published under his own copyright.
They form two very interesting, al
though delayed, chapters, Of American
history, and are corrective of some chap
ters of the War of 1912 that are still
found in school books. The heroism,
patriotism and optimism of the Amer
lean soldier did not then and do not now
figure in the reasonable expectations of
men or women anywhere if they happen
to be among pacifsts when in search of
truth and justice toward the soldier in
battle, and, as this work shows, that
kind of person was not unknown during
the War of 1912. Nor were important
army appointments uninfuenced by po-
litical considerations. In that way it
came about that the man selected to
defend Washington was by no means
the abest, and he was further handi-
capped by being tied up in red tape Mil
itary preparation was as much snail
like affair in 1912 as it was in 1861 and
l9l7.-From Brooklyn Eagle, November,

OFFERING VACATIONS
At A Low COST
Y. M. C. A. Is Doing Much to Foil the
ProfiteerS at British Service Re-
sorts, Who Are Making Vaca-
tions Almost Impossible.

London, July 26 Correspondence of
the Associated Press American who
find the cost of vacations so high that
they cannot afford this year to 90 to the
mountains or seashore will be interested
in the way in which the Young Mems
Christian association is attempting to
solve the problem in England.
Seaside profteers have made the vaca-
tions so expensive for the average Eng
lish family that thousands who before
the war sought recreation on the east
coast of England were unable to do so
this year. The hotels have jumped their
prices to unheard OF figures.
The Y NJ C. A. is Offering these fam
lilies bed and breakfast in these east
coast resorts at 1920 week for each
person, and it proposes to furnish nurses
and accommodation for children, so that
mothers can have a real holiday.
To accomplish this, the association
rented hotel at Felixstowe and another
at Southend and established tent camp
at Herene Bay, equipping them with
such furniture as it was able quickly
to obtain. All valuables must be left
at home, and only old clothes can be
worn.
No charge is being made for children
less than one year old and reduced
prices are quoted for those of less than
eight years. This permits family in
ordinary circumstances to enjoy the hol-
iday season at much the same price as
prevailed before the war
Y NJ. c. A. leaders are planning to ex-p
tend their vacation accommodations to
other shore resorts and to use for this
purpose two military camps.

Race Riots.

The outbreak of race rioting at Wash
ington during the last few days is one of
the most deplorabe Incidents of these
cause of its occurrence in the national
capital, where, if anywhere, there should
be even-handed justice toward all ele,
ments in the population.
The pretext for the indiscriminate at
tacks upon negroes, in which service men
as well as civilians have engaged, is a
number of assaults which negroes are
charged with making upon white women
recently. II the mob violence were lin
tied to negroes who committed such as
saults it might be explained, though it
could not be excused The police force
of the capital should be sufficient to pro-
tect the community against crime, and,
if it failed to do this, the remedy should
be larger and better force--not more
lawlessness. But this rioting is not di-
rected against individual negro law
breakers, caught red handed in crime,
but against the negro as negro. The
mere color of a mans skin is made a rea-
son for dragging him from street car,
or beating him senseless, when he has
committed no crime and has no intention
of committing any. The negro who leads
a clean and honorable life has as Just a
claim to protection as white man of
like character; and the negro who COM
mits an oifense against the law should
be punished by legal methods precisely
as a white man.
There should be a wider recognition
than ever of this obvious truth since the
war. The negro troops who fought I'M
der the American flag fought bravely,
and often with almost reckless courage.
They went over the top as cheerfully and
offered their lives with as little hesita-
ton as their white associates. Some of
them were cited for special acts of cour-
age and brought back crosses which had
been awarded them. Shall men like
these be the objects of mob attack in the
capital of the nation, simply because
they are black2
Ordinary prudence-if no higher mo-
tive-should compel a prompt suppress
sion of these demonstrations Race riot
ing is dangerous thing. 1t creates bit
ter hatred and it invites desperate re-
prisals.-Boston Herald.

BLIND, YESl BUT NOT DONE FOR.
Pluck of a Chicago Restaurant Man Is
Told

Washington, D. G., July 26.-Some of
the stories which are told the agents Of
the federal board for vocational educa
ton by the disabled men are full of in.
terest and romance. This is q true one
that George told when he was asked,
"What are you going to do about itY"
Over on side street in Chicago there
is restaurant where the best gumbo
and rice is found. For u years George
had been the chef, and there wasn't a
single patron of the place who didn't
come partly for the pleasure OF seeing
that large smile that greeted you under
the white cap When George first took
the job, back in 1905, he had visions of
its being a temporary affair, to tide him
over the lean years, but somehow the
time never seemed convenient to make a
change-so the gumbo and rice contin-
ued to improve.
When the United States sent out the
call, George was over and above draft
age, but he couldn't somehow see him
self cooking when there was work for a
man do over there. So he closed up
and went to camp.
Coming down to drill one morning, he
ran into beam that had been left stick
ing out over the door, and was fairly
stunned for a moment, but in another
he was out again and drilling like any
rookie. Next morning, however, he
woke up--blind.
| That blow took from him all hope of
France. 1t meant that he would be dis
charged from the army with no chance
of recovering his sight. But was he
down. hearted? No! He applied to the
| federal board for vocational education,
and when he heard the plans the govern
ment made for re-educating men who
had been disabled in service he was eager
and enthusiastic to begin the training.
Optimism was indigenous to Georges
nature, and he couldn't keep that smile
from his lips or hope from his heart
| When the board suggested sending him
| to Baltimore, where the blind are re-
! trained, he didn't want to go. He want
ed to carry on just as if his eyes were
| O. H. and he insisted on course in
some college or school. Well, the board
! found out about his past education, and
they chose the following subjects for
him: Typewriting by the touch system,
the use of the telephone and the dcta-
phone, and course in craftsmanship to
finish up with. All this study would
turn him out fitted to be telephone
advertising salesman, and if he made
good the salary would be from 500 to
rSI50 a week.
George jumped at the chance He took
the course and is going fine! If you were
one of those who used to frequent that
Chicago cafe, don't regret its closing up.
George says the recipe for that gumbo
and rice is not lost, as he is going to
teach it to Mrs, George-now that he is
making enough money to support one!

DREADNOUGHTS
ARE IN CANAL
Four Great Ships of Pacific
Fleet Negotiated the
Locks Safely
OTHERS WILL MAKE
ATTEMPT TODAY
Admiral Rodman Is Pleased
With First Stages of
the Trip

Aboard the u. S. S. New Mexico, Fri
day, July 25 (By the Associated Press.
-Four dreadnoughts of the Pacific fleet,
the New Mexico, Arkansas, Texas and
New York were lifted successfully
through the. Gatun locks to-day This
was the first attempt to negotiate the
waterway with dreadnoughts, and to-
night the warships lie anchored in the
fresh water of Gatun lake SIS feet above
sea level The dreainoughts will resume
their trip toward the Pacific ocean Sat
urday, at which time the Mississippi and
j Wyoming, now coaling and oiling at Col
! on, will commence the passage of the ca
nal.
Admiral Hugh Rodman in command
of the feet, was pleased with the sue
cess of the first stage of the canal trip.
He said
+ "The flagship was lifted out of the
three locks of Gatun dam in one hour
and II minutes. Now let us go tarpoon
fishing near the dam-putting dread
noughts through the canal is too easy"
The old battelships Georgia and Yer
mont Joined the fleet at Colon to-day.
After the New Mexico had oiled at Colon
this afternoon she swung lazily into
Limon bay, whence she took the two
ships part of the way to the dam, creep
ing slowly through the first cutting of
the waterway amid dense jungle growth
like some weird amphbian in a prehis-
toric swamp.
Nearing the lock, the crew flung land
ing lines out board, which quickly drew
in board steel cables that led to the cleo
trio "mules" running on tracks on each
side of the locks The whole operation
seemed to function automatically, for
not an order was heard as the dread
noughts slid into the lower locks as cas-
lily as a shuttle into a sewing machine.
The steel gates astern the flagship
then closed like great jaws and churning
water rose up from viaducts in the bot
tom of the lock, while the New Mexico
was lifted as easily and rapidly as
rowboat. The flagship was then lifted
out of the next two locks in the same
fashion, while crowds standing on top
of the concrete lock walls threw bananas
and cocoanuts at the ships crew.
Twenty destroyers went through the
canal Thursday, passing through the
locks in groups of ten. Captain Twin
ing, chief of staff, said that the canal
had proved its naval value beyond a
doubt, as dreadnoughts may be quickly
moved from the Atlantic to the Pacific
with celebrity and without trouble, as
shown by to-day's operation.
The Pacific fleet will leave Panama for
San Diego, Cal, Sunday night.

MEXICO is WAKING UP
Making 1t Possible for Students to In
terchange With Other Countries.

Mexico City, July 26.--Indieative of
an apparent expansive educational pol
icy by the government is the fact that
within the past few weeks arrangements
have been made for an interchange of
students between the National Univer-
sity of Mexico and welknown education
al institutions in some other countries.
Such an arrangement was recently made
with the University of Arizona in the
United States, and it is said that plans
have been made for a mutual interchange
with the governments of San Salvador,
Chile, Nicaragua and Cuba.
