Chicago, Feb. 2l.-Federal opera

LONDON, May british food
experts believe that prices have

henceforth a slow and gradual de-

Reasons advanced by large whole
sale houses are: First, mechanical
transport and tractors are being

acreage to food production that for
merly grew food for horses; second,
high European prices have stimulat-
ed production abroad and heavily
increased harvests will soon be
reaped; third. there are large
stocks Of food IN British ware
houses and docks that will soon
have to be put on the market to
prevent loss from spelling; fourth.
the United States has shut down on
food and other credits for most of
Europe, while England's credit Is
still good-hence Americas export

ing eye might finally select the
daintier flower. but il would be
arrested first by the color of the
more flamboyant blossom.
Dicky had once said with little
chuckling laugh. Rita Brown will
be exhibiting real pictures worth
real money. and having real merit

I think there was unconscious re-

her exaggerated statement disturbed

that framed by the screened veran-

There are many gnarled old ap-

TWAS BR|LL|G AND
THE ST|THY LOVES
Did MlRE AND.

Hand in hand. the state corporation
commission and Lewis Carroll are
tripping along the same highway TO
fame. Carroll because he wrote that
weird "Brillig' poem. and the corpora
tion commissioners because they are
interpreting il. The commission has
just granted a day extension to the
local street railway company's hear
ing anent the Brill car line.
Carroll begins with:
Twas BriIlig and the stithy toves
Did mire and jbber in the wabe,"
Which now is interpreted to mean
that the "stithy toves" living along the
Brill street line jibed and shivered
in the wabe or super mud.
"All mimsy were the borygoves
And the nomeraths outrabe."
The cryptic Carroll continues Evil
IDENTIFY the "borygoves'' live along that
part of the BrilliS line where the car
runs, while the 'momeraths" are those
at the far end where the car is alleged
not to run and who are becoming out
rageously rabid from beating upon
dishpans in frantic signaling to the
motorman by the "momeraths" to the
effect that the Brillig service was not
quite up TO the Phoenix Railway COM
pany's usual standard of excellence,
and the company yesterday requested
and obtained a ten-day grant of extra
time.
CARROTS wild language continues
along for five more stanzas which are
reported now in course of interpreta-
ton. Two stanzas said to be occasion
ing the commission some concern be-
cause of the word "jabberwauk," which
may may not mean -four wheeled
trolley car" are as follows:
"And as in uffish thought he stood,
The jabberwauk with eyes of flame,
Came whiting through the tuIsey
wood,
And burbled as it came.
One two, one two, as through and
through,
The Vorpal blade went snither-
snack.
He left it dead, and with its head,
He came galumphing back"
The case is reported occasioning
widespread interest throughout the city,
and meanwhile the jabberwauks go
galumphing merriIy along.
Friday night again the ''stithy toveS''-
''jabbered in the wabe," and finally in
desperation at the non arrival of the
10 O'Clock Brillig, they mired home, the
momeraths outrabing.
