Scarcely stopping to breathe and
dashing up and down stage, waving
arms and hosting legs and shadow

the gang against our government"
and between times criticized women s
clothes and the countrys morals.
About the mildeSt invective he hurled
at any of the law-defying element t

on humanity" The barrage was lift

The average yearly consumption of

The 454 cars of apples consumed

of the apples that came into the city.
as large quantities came by boat and
trucks from Maryland and Virginia.
Many fine grades of apples come in
boxes from the state of Washington.
AS Halloween Is always associated
with apples. the shippers of this fruit
since 1905. have celebrated the week
of October 81 to November z as

incidentally, the local merchants are

LAUNCHED IN
NEW YORK
Mayor HyIan's Call To House.
wives Wins Support Of
$50 Organizations.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-House-
wives of this city were quick to re-
spond today to Mayor Hylan's ap-
peal to fight the sugar gougers by
buying less sugar.
The women, who have marshaled
their forces with military thorough
ness, have, arranged for a mass
meeting in the board of aldermen
rooms in the city hall on May 4,
when plans for a drive against the
combine of market manipulators
and gamblers in futures will be
formulated.
Representing the city will be some
$50 organizations. Altogether, more
than 500, 900 women are represented.
Whether an absolute boycott will
be declared is problematical. Tenta.
tive plans provide merely for ex-
IRENE economy in the use Of sugar,
with a minimum indulgence in
sweets.
Buy as little as you can, but
don't be stampeded into a boycott
unless the situation becomes
graver," is the slogan of the city
federation.
If a reduction of l cent a pound
is found in sugar, it will mean
an annual saving of 500, 900 900
Sugar is now retailing at to :
cents a pound more than it was
last January.

P|LSON DENIES
CHARGES Of
WIFE
Brings Counter Complaints
and Asks Dismissal of Her
Divorce Suit.

Edward H. Pilson, well known in
local society, in his answer to the
suit for limited divorce filed by
his wife, Mrs. Marjorie Savin Pill
son, in Rockville, Md, denies that
he lever at any time was habitual
drunkard" or ever refused to sup
port his wife and their children.
Pilson says that it had been a
long established practice in their
home and at places of amusement
which they frequented to drink in
toxicating liquors, and that such
drinking was done by his wife as
well as by him.
Mrs. Pilson is possessed of a
violent temper" according to her
husband, and ''in a fit of temper"
would quarrel with him for hours
at time, frequently late at night
so that he was kept awake and
deprived of his sleep"
Mrs. Pilson, her husband alleges,
engaged in petty acts to annoy
him, such as to cut his neckties in
small pieces; break his watch; tele-
phone his men friends threatening
them with arrest if they associated
with him; tear up ner photo.
graphs" The husband said that
he suffered such conduct on the
part of his wife on account of the
great love he has for his children
and hoping that she would some
day change her attitude.
Prison says he is not an idler. On
the contrary, he maintains that ever
since he was nineteen years old
he has been employed and has
worked diligently for a living.
When he first married, Pilson says,
he got ranch out in Oregon where
he was engaged in raising fruit for
three years.
On the death Of his father, he
says, he returned East and obtained
employment with the Armspear
Manufacturing Company when
place he left in April, 1922. He
says he has tried earnestly since
to build up the business Of the Du.
pont Supply Company in this city
with which he is identified.
On one occasion when visiting his
children at the home of his wife
in Chevy Chase and after talking to
them five minutes, he charges that
Mrs. Pilson came into the room
and ordered the children upstairs
and thereupon cursed and abused
respondent because he refused to
enter into a collusive agreement
whereby plaintiff could secure an
absolute divorce"
Pilson, represented by attorneys
Leonard A. Block and Albert
Bouick asks that the suit be dis
missed.
