luxury were given as the reasons for
their criminal careers by Mrs. Marie
Baily, aged fifty-seven. and Mrs. Til

both Of San Francisco, who have con-
fessed to the police that they were
responsible for the theft Of women's
finery valued at close to $1,000 from
Berkeley's elite colony in operations
extending over a period Of eight
months.
After maintaining innocen c e
throughout twenty-four-hour grilling
Mrs. Bailey broke down and told De

PAIR DIVORCED EVERY
10 MINUTES IN BOSTON

Boston. Oct. 1s-An avalanche OF
divorce petitions breaking all re-
cords OF Suffolk County and neces-
stating two sessions of the divorce
court, promises to add nearly so per
cent to the divorce rate here this
year.
At the twin sessions OF the d.
vorce court, cases are now being
handled as frequently as one every
ten minutes.
The number OF divorces in 1920 is
already close to the figure for the
whole OF 1919, which was the record
for this county and for Massachu-
sells.
The general cause OF multiplying
martial troubles, according to county
officials. is the unrest resulting from
the war.
Behind the unrest. many observ-
ers believe. is not the war. but the
lack OF proper housing facilities in
cident to the war period.

MOST APT FIRE-FIGHTER

San Francisco can boast Of a new
high pressure water system designed
expressly for fire fighting which is
believed to be the most powerful and
efficient in the world. 1t has no
connection with the regular city wat
er system but pumps salt water from
the bay, whence it Is stored in an i'm
mense reservoir on Twin Peaks, al
most 1000 feet above sea level. The
new fire-plug has six separate con-
nections for hose; the available wat
err pressure is 3l4 pounds. which is
more than ordinary water mains
could stand. In a recent exhibition q
streams OF water were thrown high
err than the tallest skyscrapers and
were turned on and off simultaneous
ly. six miles of hose being used.
II such a deluge Of water could have
been thrown on the great fire OF
1906 there might have been a diff
ferent story TO tell. Since that aw-
full disaster San Francisco has spent
over $4,000. 900 for improved fire
fighting apparatus.

WILSON ACTS IN
WHEAT PRICE DROP

Washington. Oct. 16-President
Wilson has requested Governor Allen
of Kansas to forward to the Federal
Trade Commission any information
he has tending to indicate that the
recent decline in wheat prices was
due to unfair practices or competi-
ton or to other artificial causes.
A letter to this effect sent today
by Secretary Tumulty was in answer
to many appeals for Government ac-
ton looking to an embargo on Cana
dian wheat. These were referred
sometime ago to tho commission and
the Department of Agriculture. Mr..
Tumulty's letter to Governor Allen
said: srH GUtet
The President has received your
telegram OF October with reference
to the wheat situation and has re-
ceived a number of others of similar
tenor. He fully recognizes the i'm
portance of the questions you raise
and he has therefore. requested the
Federal Trade Commission and the
Department of Agriculture to look in
to the matter at the earliest possible
moment with a view to determine
what. if anything. can properly be
done. In the meantime he will ap-
preciate il il you Will be good enough
to forward to the Federal Trade
Commission any information in your
possession which in your opinion

cline in wheat prices is due to unfair

Kentucky should go out of the wheat

Kentucky always will and always

winter wheat. II will be a mistake
to think of cutting out either crop re-
cause both play an important part in
the agricultural prosperity of the
state.
Undoubtedly the season had much
to do with the reduced yield OF
wheat this year. Possibly 1t was
more to blame than the soil, but IL

During the war the abnormal de-
mand for tobacco sent up the price
and kept it up and 1t was natural that
we should grow as much tobacco as
possible. On thousands OF farms
the best ground was planted to tobac-
co and wheat was planted on the
poorer ground and given only second

prices of wheat and tobacco will soon
disappear. We must get back to a
normal agricultural basis. We must
not forget that wheat is one OF the
staple crops of Kentucky. 1t is es-

state even as tobacco and corn and
other products are essential.
