DOHERTY BUYS HALF INTEREST
 IN NEWSP PAPER
Kansas City Journal-Post Will Fight the Battles of Cities Service Against Kansas City Star

New York, Aug 7-(UP)-Pur- chase of a one-haif interest in the Kansas City (Mo) Journal-Post was announced by Henry L. De- herty to-day. A statement he gave out said this was ito meet the Kansas City Star on an equal foot ing in the campaign against him and the interests of Cities Service"
 The statement added that an- nouncement of the Doherty pur- chase would be made in the after noon editions of the Journal-Post to-day.
 Entrance of Henry l.. Doherty. head of the billion-dollar Cities Service corporation into the Kan sas and Missouri newspaper field heightens the battle between his companies and the Kansas City Star. which has been bitterly op- posing his utility rates.
 Doherty, after winning court actions in which the state of Kan sas sought to bar his securities from the Kansas market, recently filed libel suits against the Kansas City Star demanding $12,OOO,0OO in compensatory and punitive damages. These suits are yet to be tried.
 The Star, one of the most infiu- ential newspapers in the middle west. has sought to force the Cit les Service subsidiary operating in Kansas to lower their rates for natural gas, on the plea that the opening of new fields made costs of production lower.
 In the midst of the battle. the Kansas state securities commis- sion announced the barring of Cit- les Service securities, with the ex- ception of one issue, from the Kan sas market. Doherty immediately sought an injunction restraining the commission from putting its ruling into effect, and won his case in the Kansas courts.
 His libel suits against the Star were filed simultaneously, and De- herty announced that he was "in the fight to the finish"
 In a recent exclusive interview with the United Press. the multi millionaire utilities magnate said that he would take steps to end the domination of the Star in Kansas, although he did not re-  veal his intention of entering the newspaper field in active compe- tition with the Star.
 Doherty's court action was i'm portant from the standpoint of corporation interests in Kansas. in that the court found the section under which the utilities commits sion sought to bar the sale of his securities unconstitutional in that 1t gave the commission too arbi- trary powers"
 Dohertys announcement to-day emphasized that he has not pur- chased control of the Journal Post. Under his contract, he may not vote 10 per cent of the 50 per cent of stock he has purchased. which leaves the actual control of the newspaper in the hands of w.

STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question: What is the correct
form for wedding invitations?
Answer: The invitation should
always be engraved, never printed,
and is engraved on the front sheet
Of white note paper. Paper with a
raised margin of plate mark is the
most fashionable at present.
A crest may be used if the family
OF the bride has the right to use
one, but it should be embossed with
out color. Fantastic engraving is to
be avoided; script, block, shaded
block or old English always being
in good form.
Wedding invitations and accom-
panying cards are always enclosed
first in an inner envelope which has
no glue on the flap, and which bears
only the name of the person to
whom it is to be sent This is en-
closed in an outer envelope which

peace. Columbus died broken
hearted, Roldin and Bobadilla were

miserably by the cruelty of his

Changes Brought About
in Food Associations

Nowhere else. save in these
United States, Is there such q
blend of food resources and con-
trasting food tastes Of different ra-
cial strains, writes A1uriel Allen
King in the New York Herald Trib-
une. In pre-war, pre-prohibition
days, there was great pride in local
cookery. Certain dishes were in
delibly associated with certain Sec
lions of the United States. One
went to New England to eat clam
chowder, brown bread and baked
beans; to Texas to get tamales; to
Virginia to luxuriate on spicy
baked ham and crisp corn pone.
There were, possibly, tea rooms In
Boston, Kansas City, or In Green
witch village, which nobody knows to-
day, that advertised "real southern
waffles," but the Greek lunch coun-
ter had not quite erased the idea
that certain dishes were appropri-
ate to certain feasts, that certain
foods were traditional mates and
companions to other foods
