there is, the most of these suckers are OF

helpless and forlorn she is without 1T, and
how hardly the average woman earns

So far from this being the case, however,
women are the champion easy marks OF

COOL WEATHER BREAKFAST

The requirements of an autumn and
winter breakfast are quite different from
these of warm weather. Your system,
wants different food when the thermometer
is below freezing from that which il need
in dog days. In fact breakfast more than
any other meal should be varied according
TO the season.
A cold breakfast in cold weather is
decidedly a mistake. Dry cereals are all
very well il you have hot coffee or some
hot breakfast dish besides The man or
woman who takes milk for breakfast
instead of coffee would really do well to
cultivate a taste for taking this beverage
hot as cold milk is certainly not very
warming breakfast drink in cool weather.

DURING THE WAR
Sims Says This Check and
Routing Vessels to Avoid
Them Saved More Ship
ping Than Other Measures
MORE SHIPS SHOULD
HAVE GONE ABROAD
All Available Forces Ought
to Have Been ConCentrat- :
ed in European Waters In
stead Of Being Kept Here.

tnN MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED W'Hfl
Washington, March l2.-More
shipping was saved by keeping
track of German submarines and
routing vessels clear of them than
by any other single measure, Rear
Admiral Sims today told the senate
investigating committee.
The admirars statement was in
support of his charge that the navy
department had a fundamental
misconeeption" of the problem Of
defending home waters in keeping
American naval forces on this side
of the Atlantic, rather than by
giving whole hearted and vigor-
Gus cooperation" to the allies.
Actual experience has shown"
the witness continued, that we
could depend upon keeping rea-
sonably accurate track of all sub
marines at sea. We were certain
we would never have to deal with
but one or two submarines at a
time on our own coast and 1t was
possible to do a great deal to-
ward providing for the safety of
shipping in our home waters with
out the use of any anti-submarine
craft at all.
Admiral Sims presented cable
grams announcing the departure
from Germany of the first raider
for the American coast sent more
than three weeks before the vessels
appeared in American waters. The
messages he read, he said, We're
remarkable for the accuracy with
which every move of the enemy
was foretold, adding that they were
founded on absolute information
obtained by the British admiralty.
They proved, he argued, the sound
ness of his original recommends
tions to the department that all
available forces should be concen-
trated in European waters.

ME- ERCER FAVORS
CONTROL Of THE
MEAT BUSINESS
Kansas CattIeman for Fed
eraI Regulation of Pack
erS; Is Opposed by Swift
& Co. Representative.

Washington, March IT,. Enact
of legislation for control of the
meat packing industry was advo-
Gated and opposed today before the
house agriculture committee.
Joseph Mercer. secretary OF
Kansas Cattle Growers association,
urged the legislation on. behalf OF
the producer, while l.. -. II. Weld,
of Swift and company, continued
his statement against the pending
control bill.
The cry that this legislation
will put the packers out of busi-
ness - all bunk" Mr.. Mercer said.
adding that government supervis-
ion was needed if only to restore
the confidence of the producers.
1--WE want the government to
regulate and control the packers
and stockyards as public utilities,
with periodical inspection of their
books" said Mercer. "That pub
licity alone would do untold good.
Commission firms and specula-
tors at stockyards, Mr.. Mercer
said, should be regulated reason
ably" by a federal commission. A
large majority of commission mer-
chants, he said, give honest, eff
cient service to producers, but
others should be "weeded out"
with all due respect to the
packers" he asserted, they're a
badly discredited bunch among the
producers of the country"
oscar Mayer, representing a
small independent packer of Chi
Cago, testified that in thirty years
competition with the big packers,
both in buying livestock and selling
meat, his firm never had expert
enced any unfair treatment. He

but doubted that they would enter
tain such an intention.
Opposing control Legislation, Mr..
Mayer said 1t would break down
the credit and place lin grave
jeopardy" the entire packing in
dustry.
Mr.. Weld presented information
designed to discredit the federal
trade com missions criticisms on
the big five" The commission's
statistics regarding division of live
stock purchases, Mr.. Weld said
were misleading. Also he charged,
the commission did not publish
statistics which would have been
favorable to the packers.
The close adherence to percent
ages of livestock purchases of the
big five" at various markets, Mr..
Weld asserted, was due to watch
full competition and not to collu-
sion. He added that if they
changed greatly it would indicate
connivance.

Evidence showing a reasonable be-

IF Wootton reasonably believed

could protect his life and property
was by getting Fred w, Brown out
of the district, he Would have been

| he would have been justified in
shooting him down on the spot II
he had reasonably believed that
only by taking Browns life could
he save his own Mr. Burgess said.
If Wootton would have been per-
mitted to kill Brown under GER
tain circumstances how much
clearer is it that he would have
been justified in deporting him,
provided the grounds for reason
| able belief in danger to himself
can be shown.
"And how can these grounds be
shown unless the court permits us
| to go into the entire situation that
prevailed in the Warren mining
district July 12, 1917. To refuse
to permit us to show that condi-
| tions were such as to warrant
Wootton's belief that getting Brown
out of the country was the only
means of saving Wootton's life and
property, would be to prejudge the
! case"

thorities which he contended sup

When the defense lawyer had
concluded his lengthy argument
late today, Judge Samuel l.. Pat

SOLDIER RELIEF

Witness Says Congressmen
Would Support Legislation
in Order to Get Votes;

~ 1SOHNNN SFNGtAl LEAbEp WlNhi
Washington, March -. The
frank statement by a witness that
members Of congress would support
soldier relief legislation in order to
get votes started a rumpus today
in the house ways and means COM
mittee, considering a multitude of
bills dealing with the subject.
Frank p, Keech, a New York
broker, formerly a lieutenant colo
mel in the inspector generals de-
partment, opposing additional com
pensation for former soldiers, de-
clared some legislation might be
expected because of political press
sure. The inference that members
would be swayed through fear Of
losing votes was characterized by
Chairman Fordney as an insult to
the committee and congress,
Keech replied that his statement
was not intended to be insulting,
but that il was nevertheless true.
George NJ, Rushmore, of New
York, a former sergeant, testified
that soldiers did not consider the
possible harm to government
finances which might result from
payment of cash bonus. A great
ajority of those receiving money
would spend 1t foolishly in six
months, he said.
Urging preferential grant to
overseas men, Leonard Ormerod,
of Washington, who served as an
enlisted man in the Second division,
said the mental strain from being
absolutely cut off from this coun-
try made such soldiers deserve
more than would be granted do

small cash bonus would be better

stitute for the Lodge reservation to
Article X, which has stood un-
altered for many weeks as the
storm center of the peace treaty
controversy was proposed in the
senate today by its author, Sena-
tor Lodge of Massachusetts, the
republican leader.
The move, described by The re-
publican managers as q step To-
ward harmony and compromise, at
first led the senate in exactly the
opposite direction by starting
discussion whether the new draft
was weaker in its terms than the
old. The mild reservationists,
backed by most of the republican
membership, said it was not. The
republican irreconcilables said 1t
was, and served notice they would
rot help adopt it as they did the
original. The democrats keeping
silent studied the proposal with
apparent suspicion.
AS a result possibilities of final
agreement remained beclouded
predictions of an early vote on
Article X. Tonight no one was
predicting action before Monday or
Tuesday.
Characterizing the proposed
changes as "the terms of q repub-
lican capitulation" to the White
House, Senator Mccormick of IL

publican irreconcilables. "A set

ANTI-PARKING RULES
FOR AUTOMOBILES ARE
CAUSING CONTROVERSY

tBY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiRtl
Los Angeles, Calf, March 12.-
An anti-parking ordinance, barring
automobiles from a large section of
the downtown business district here
during seven and a half hours each
weekday, has created teapot tenn
pest here in municipal circles, and
has arrayed patrons of the street
car companies against those who
use automobiles and trucks.
The new ordinance, effective
April TO- has been attacked with
a referendum petition, and it is
stated that nearly all of the $4,000
signatures necessary to force spe-
cial election on the question have
been obtained. The referendum was
started by certain towel supply
companies, which said that the
limits placed on deliveries would
put them out of business.
The ordinance was passed at the
recommendation of the state rail-
road commission, which advised the
council that If such a step was not
taken to relieve congestion down
town, where 10000 autos are
parked on the streets daily, it would
have to authorize the local street
car companies to increase their
fares from five to probably seven
cents.
The ordinance provides time
limit of two minutes for passenger
automobiles stopping at stores,
theaters or elsewhere down town.
1t makes exceptions for ambu-
lanceS and some other classes of
vehicles, and contains less stringent
provisions for commercial traffic.
The Automobile Club of Southern
California has strongly urged the
new ordinance.
one effect already has been the
razing of scores of old frame houses
and small buildings, because the
owners believe that better returns
can be had from utilizing the space
for auto parks.
