Lower Returns Than
Last Year.

Fruit and vegetable prices are
generally lower than at this time a
year ago. the Department Of Agri-
culture announced yesterday in it's
weekly review Of market condi-
tons.
According to the departments fg-
ures, potatoes are down to 81 a

points. This price. the department
says hardly pays the cost Of pro-
GuctiOn unless the yield per acre is
above the average. Eastern farm
crs are getting $3.50 a bushel. while
city dealers are paying IS to IS a
barrel for POTATOES. New York is
jro largest producer.
Onions. the department says, are
selling at prices considered low in
prewar days. Early apples are re-
ported selling at $50 to 81 bushel

The peach crop is reported some
what smaller than last year. The

Recent Troubles in Chin a

have not been any too good during
the past year. This has resulted in
Il food shortage, and when people
can't get enough food to eat they
are pretty certain to cause disturb

Italians or Germans, or Americans.
for that matter.
Help From Other Countries.
Recently bankers from this coun-
try and from a number of the Euro
pean countries visited China and ar
ranged to lend money to the Chi
nese government. This money will
be used in developing the resources
of the country. and it is hoped will
provide means for producing larger
crops of food and supplying the
needs of the Chinese people.
China is a very old country and
very large country. 1t has only
been within the last few years that
the country has commenced to break
away from her old customs and en-
deavored to become a modern ma
ton. We must be patient with the
Chinese, and not expect them to ac-
complish in a few years what it ha.
taken other countries several hun
dreds to achieve"

French Senate Discusses
Eliminating Obey
From Ceremony.

Paris, Aug. 1.-THE French wom-
an will soon know whether or not
in the future she will be Obliged to
obey her husband.
In the event she is relieved of this
matrimonial nuisance, the French
husband will have the satisfaction
at least of knowing that in recon-
pense he will no longer have to pro-
tect his wife.
French feminism, after an unsuc-
cessful battle for suffrage rights.
thanks to the French senate, has
just taken new tack, and is now
after the establishment of equality
in the marriage relations.
While the fate of the new move
ment is still in doubt, there is very
grave reason to fear that it will be
shipwrecked in the senate along
with the proposed laws for political |
equality.
The fight that is now being made
provides for the striking out of the
civil code that portion of the mar
riage laws which reads: The hus-
band owes protection to his wife
and the wife obedience to her hus-
band"
The proposed law is now before
the senate "nere IL is being Coldly
received, and it must also be ad-
mitted that it is not being well
coined very warmly by the public at
large. A resume of opinion from
leading men in all walks of French
|. life failed to reveal a single sup
porter, while the proposal was
characterized as approving every
thing from Bolshevism to anarchy

mist supporters were quick to point
out that all of these opinions came
from "vieux messieurs" (o1d mem

TT seems as II new war was
springing up almost every day in
some part of the world" said Joe.
What have you in mind now?
asked Uncle Harry.
China" replied Joe. Lately I've
noticed a number Of dispatches in
the paper telling about fighting
among the Chinese and I have been
wondering what was the matter
over there in that great country.
The most recent trouble in
China" said Uncle Harry, seems to
have been caused by a quarrel be-
tween two factions of the Chinese.
The dispatches have been very
meager and the details as to the
exact causes of the trouble are not
very clear"
what Travellers Report.
But can you tell US anything
about conditions in China that will
throw any light on the subject"
asked Helen.
Yes. l can give you some inIor-
nation that will probably make the
question a little clearer" said Uncle
Harry. "Of course, you must re-
member that China is not built-up
and thoroughly civilized country
like our own United States or Eng
| land or France. Many of the Chi
nese people are uneducated and live
. in very primitive ways. There are
comparatively very few newspapers
in China and people do not travel
from one section to another as free
ly as they do in our country, and
+ the land is not developed as it is
here. There are many superstitions
among the people, and altogether
the great Chinese nation is still
more or less of a puzzle to the rest
. of the world
Recent travellers through China
/ have reported. however, two things
that have stirred up the Chinese
people a great deal in the last year
or two. In the first place, there Is
great deal of anti-Japanese aglua-
/ tiOn going on in China due to the
belief among the Chinese that they
were not treated fairly at the Peace
Conference, and that Japan was
favored and given rights in China
which really belong to the Chinese
people. Then. too, these travellers

Prepare to Face
Juries of Women

London, Aug. 14.-"Ladies and
gentlemen of the jury"
That's what the learned judges
are practising to say in their spare
moments, for women voters are now
to be empaneled for the jury, and
his ludship must now accustom his
tongue to the new phraseology.
The question whether women will
prove successful jurors, whether
they will be able to sift evidence
and to formulate an impartial opin-
ion is one that is agitating many
untried criminals.

MRS. ALLYN h. CAPRON
AIDS SOLDIER RELIEF

There is probably no stauncher
friend OF the man in uniform in
Washington than Mrs. Allyn X.
Capron, head of the district Chap
ter Red Cross Kitchen. No. 1, IS
Jackson place. Ever since she be-
came a widow, when her husband,
Capt. Capron, of the Rough Riders,
was killed at Las Guasimas, Cuba
during the Santiago campaign in
1898, she has devoted her life to her
soldier boys. No more familiar
figure is seen on the streets of the
city than Mrs CaprOn in her uni
form driving a Red Cross motor
truck. which she has affectionately
christened sally" and which has
been the bearer of hundreds of jars
Of jellies and other delicacies to

hospitals in ard around the District.

where she served in the trenches
with her boys for the Red Cross,
Mrs. Capron took charge of the kit
chen at chapter headquarters and
at once began to provide jellies,
jams, preserves and kindred deli
cacies for the sick veterans in the
hospitals. During the '+fu" periods
she took care OF numerous families.
SELLS DELICACIEsx
TO SWELL FUNDS.
As the cost of materials increased
and sugar mounted to an almost
DrOhibitive price. Mrs. Capron hit
upon the idea of selling some of her
products to society and to the vari-
Gus clubs and hotels in Washington.
All the profits were to be used in
81
in the hospitals. She also decided
to make lunches for motor parties
and invalid diets for physicians to
swell her relief fund.
Accordingly she launched her
plan and although il has been in
existence for less than a month the
results have been gratifying. The
Cosmos and the Army and Navy
Clubs were among her first patrons
and the Womens Club will Join
them when it reopens in the fall.
Then several society women began
to patroniZe the kitchen for basket
lunches for motor parties. Well
known physicians. too, have called
upon her to make invalid dishes
particularly for clients in hotels or
apartment houses where diet food
cannot be advantageOusly prepared.
Another source of revenue has
been obtained through the serv-
Ices Of Miss Evelyn J. Kirk of the
War Department. who sells shelled
peanuts to the employees there. On
one of her recent visits to Waller
Reed Miss Kirk discovered one of
the patients wearing a most de-
JeCted look. Upon questioning him
she learned that his pet tadpole had
died so without apprising him of her
resolution she returned to town and
bought him another.
