MIDE PRICE RANGES SOMETIME?? NECESSARY.
The wide range in prices quoted on some products is explained by
a corresponding range in the quality and condition. This applies par
ticularly to those products which come from a long distance. The
transportation companies are nearly submerged with the heavy move
ment of freight and delays frequently occur. As a result of these
conditions, and owing* to the highly perishable nature of some of the
products, fhey often arrive in an over-ripe condition Thla necessitates
their being* sold quickly, regardless of coat. The consumer should
bear these facts in mind. Well graded, fancy product? command top
prices, while genuine bargains ran be secured by the uae of the ripe
products which are especially desirable for canning and preserving
purposes.
RIPE PEARS FOR CANNING AND PRESERVING.
A case in hand ia represented by the pear altuation. ??? peara
from the West were aold by wholesalers this morning: from 50 cents to
$3.50 per bushel box. according to condition and ripeness. The va
rieties were the llartlett and the'Howell and the most common sties,
those having from 150 to 180 pears to the box. -The boxes cost the
growers in the Weat from 15 to 20 cents each and?the freight amount?
to somewhat over $1 per box, jo that in many rases these pears are
selling at a big loss to the grower.
This very fact, however, gives the consumer an excellent chance
to purchase some of thla ripe fruit at very low figures for canning
and preserving purposes. Ask your dealer to get a box for you or
visit the wholesale market In the morning and buy It direct.
The fair prices to consumers given below cover those charged by
both "cash-and-carry" and "credi t-and-deli very" retailer?. "Cash
and-carry" retailers should sell near the lowest figure given. Unless
otherwise stated, all prices are for produce of good average quality
Poo'rer grades should sell for less.
If consumers are charged, on any day. prices In excess of those
published on lhat day in th?** "fair-price-to-consumers" column, they
should immediately bring the matter to the attention of the District
of Columbia food administration.

Jane Forgets the Censor
to Tell Bob of Love's
True Consecration.
The Marriage Conven
tion Not to Bind Parents
But to Protect Children.
I. now initiated Into the mystery of
maternity, ask but one comfort?and
that I cannot have. I want my hus
band?but the seas roll between us
and the war clouds roll above us.
I feel a little ?lek with the terror
of the new responsibility?which I
must bear alone?for the life to be.
'??" ? heait hurt? with It? double weight
tenderness for*"my child?and his.
Thi? morning I wrote to Bob
"Dear and Dearest": I began?then
my mind pictured the censor. How
ever am I going to write what I have
to tell my husband as I want to sav
it. with one part of my mind consider
ing how my letter may amuse ?ome
man or girl 2,000 miles away?
"Forget the censor?he or ?he I?
probably bored to death with ?imilar
tales," I advised myself. And that, i
am eure, ought to make pretty good
advice for others wive? when they
write to their men with the A. E. F.
"Dear and Dearest: You ?aid the
last time you came home on furlough.
'Thank God there isn't a child! Life
will be easier for you so. Jane, if I do
not come back.'
"But, my darling, there IS a child!
"And I ought to be telling you
cuddled up in your arms with your
lips on the coils of my hair. I need
you so, beloved!
"But our country needs you more.
Humanity's need is greater than my
own.
?Life loom? so huge?and I feet so
lost, so tiny. But I want you to
know, darling one, that now and for
ever I'll put away all petty woman's
hurts about your moods and vour
silences.? And do get rid of all Jealous
nonsense about me.
"For now I am consecrated to you,
my husband. I can never again, for
one single instant, think of any man
but you. Why. It eeem? vulgar even
to consider the possibility.
?? 'Consecrated' to you, maternity
make? me. But I can't help wonder
ing, my own. if nature is quite fair
to us women. Does she make the
man feel that fatherhood consecrate?
him to the mother of his child?
"Not that I'm doubting you, darling
I'm only recalling that most fathers
never seem to care a mite about new
babies until they have pushed the
buirgy around the block a few times.
."Men, I do believe, want to own
their women. Well, you never owned
me so completely, sweetheart, as you
do now-though you're 2,000 miles
away.
"Write me, darling. And don't
worry. Your mother will take the
loveliest care of me.
"Perhaps you may read this as you
go into danger, but whether you are
hurried, or whether you have time
to think, you'll be glad, heart'? dear
est, that I have this pledge of your
love?of our love, sweetheart And
ycu'll know that life gave me all Its
wonder when It made me the mother
of your child.?Your Jane."
"P. S.?Mother ?ays Daddy T?oi imer
will be crazy with Joy over an heir

The Bolshevik makes the average
nan want to co out and hug and kiss
a Mexican.-Emporla Qasetta.
Perhaps It was my precious seeie'_ .
which gava me coinage to go upstairs I
th;? morning to the nursery whet?
Uenjie's baby lives. It's a very plain |
suite, marvelous germ-proof,
charge of two very stiims -aurne?
who always wear sterilized cowi.s.
My p_or little country-bred .?eff haa
stood very much in awe of them.
But tf I'm to be a mother, I thought,
where can I set better les.-oiu 4n
baby culture than from Baby Bar
bara's foster mothers?
Dear Mother Ixtrimer was looking
on at "Bwawa's" bath. " Bwawa '
the best Baby Barbara can do with '
her own name.
There never could be enythlnj more
perfectly shaped in human ???; h than
"Bwawa." I know the child is illegiti
mate, but I couldn't help wondering
how it could be very wrong to add
such an exquisite blossom to the iree
of life.
Of course there ought not to be any
Baby Barbara. Her fat her never
bought a marriage license end her
mother never wore a wedding ring.
And yet, here km I, a perfectly gof>d
girl by inheritance and upbringing,
wondering why it is right that my
own baby should be a glory to its
patents just because we are wedded,
while this lovely bit ol innocence, my
brother-in-law'e child, would dlagrace
the whole Lorimer family, if people
only knew the truth about her.
"Which Is to blame " I asked my
self, "tb* man, or the girl, or so
ciety?"
Nature herself, as I see things to
day, must be tho eliminai.
I wanted to ask Mother Lorimer
what she thinks for as her sons say,
she is "fed up" with modern thought
about pretty nearly everything. But
of course I couldn't question her be
fore the nuree. who ro far. seems to |
accept the story about Benjie's mar
riage In Canada.
I can't help thinking about such
things for. although we haven't had
much talk about war babies in this
country, we've heard oodles of it
from abroad. An<j I can't see how ;
the case of the poorest lltfie un
fathered war waif over there is much
different from that of little Barbara
I-orimer. And yet. when I think of
those pitiful women atoms who have
French mothers and Hun beasts for
fathers, my heait stops beating.
Baby Barbara, being now frocked in
the plainest of sanitary dresses, I was
permitted to snatch up and bestow a
kiss on the top of her curly red head.
The touch of her warm, sweet body
revealed in a flaah t?e reason why
the strict marriage conventions are
right. Marriage protects the child.
No expensive nursery nor highly paid
caretakers can ever be a substitute
for real parents.
And by Just as much as I love my
own child, I felt that 4 ?coined the
mother of Barbara. Who is this
women who disowns her child to save
her good name? Some day I am go
ing to find out.
Meanwhile, I feel that I would like
to mother wee Barbara myself. ]
also feel that I ought to do this as
an honest bit of war work for thus
? coald release one of the nurses for
hospital service.

When the Domestic Girl Loses Out.
By DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLD'S HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER.
A young woman haa propounded toi
me the riddle of the Sphynx. Sha
want? to know why the sensible girl,
who Is fitted to make a good wife/ so
seldom ha? the chance to be one, while
a silly little goose of a girl, who will
be the ruination of the man she mar
ries, van commit bigamy a? often a?
she like?.
"Why do men pass over the domestic
giil for the fluffy-ruflles one?" ?he
asks. "Men want wives who will be
good housekeeper?, who are prac
tical and thrifty, and will know how
to save their money. Why dont they
flock around girl? who will make that
kind of helpmeets, instead of the baby
dolla, who don't know how to do any
thing but fl-end money and dress
themselves up? They don't, you
know. We sensible, practical, dome??
tic girl? seldom have a beuu. or gut t
chance to man y, unless we are the
second choice of some middle-aged
widower.
"Why Isn't It as alluiing to a man
for a girl to km-* how to perform on
the cook stove as it is for hor to per
form on the piano7 Why isn't he
just as much thrilled in holding a
hand that has a few needle pricks on
the flnsers as he Is In holding one
that some other woman ha? been paid
to manicure?*
Why. indeed! I wish that I could
answer my correspondent's question.'
and tell her why a man is attracted
to a ?tri by the tei y qualities that he
deprecate? In hi? wife, and why he
marrie? a girl for one thing and
blame? her ever afterwards for being
it. but I cannot explain this peculiar-:
it y of the masculine psychology. No
body can. Least of all does the man j
himself know why he picked out a ?
hand-painted psrlor ornament, when I
what he wanted was a useful kitchen!
appliance. He simply doe?>, and fon
the rest of his life wonders why.
Of course the kind of a woman j
that a man falls in love with Is a
matter of personal last??, nnd there
is no arguing about tastes. Still,
one can suggest several reasons
why the homespun girl is not a?
alluring to the masculine fancy m^
the pink chiffon girl.
On?1 of these reason? 1.? that the!
practical, common sfnsp kind of j
pirl, generally overdoes the prac- j
tlcal and common senee stuff. She
ticks romance and sentiment, and
after all these are the veil ln which
a woman must clothe herself before
a man sees her as ih*1 lady love of
his dreams. Instead of just one more
female inhabitant of the world.
The very practicality whlcft
makes a woman a n-iracon of a
wife is her undoing as a lady love,
because it keeps her from pract ic
ing the little wiles with which the
expert feminine fisner or men baits
her hook for the catch. The prac
tical women cannot goo and coo
and gurgle over a man, because she
would feel like a fool if she did
it. yet men like to be literally and

chin and fussed over, as if they
were babies. Neither can the prac

bat sensible subjects, and how can
a discussion of the steel dividend,
or "the best way to Hooveri-te" lead
up to popping the question?
Love making can only flourish In
a congenial atmosphere, and the
practical woman does not know
hofv to produce it. Neither ha* any

! cold blood. He has to be gently
and Insiduously worked up to the
proper temperature, and the com
mon sense woman hasn't that kind '
? of sense In her repertoire. Nor
does the practical woman know

of telling him that he is the won- ?

Another reason that the practical.
I common sense girl does not attract
men is because she stands too stur
dily on her own two little feet, and
when a woman shows that she can

Is to let her do it. Helplessness In
a woman is the one quality that
appeals most to a man. That Is why
the floppy dishrag woman can marry
early, and as often as necessity de

The Branch House Man
This is one of the Swift & Company Branch House Men.
They are all pretty much alike in the way they feel to
ward their work?and that is what this ad is ahout.
They know that most people couldn't get such good
meat promptly and in sood condition if it weren't for the
branch houses of which they are in charge.
They know that the hranch house is one of the most
important links in the chain of preparing and distributing
meat for a nation.
Thev know that Swift & Company must have it
branch houses run at the highest notch of usefulness: thai
even a Swift & Company hranch house won't run itself, and
that it is up to the branch house man to run it properly.
Any branch house man who doesn't see his work
in this light is transferred to some other place with
Swift & Company to which he is better adapted.
They are picked men. these branch house men. Every
lime you sit down to a steak or chop, or cut of roast,
vou can give a grateful thought to the whole crew of them
And remember, in a general way, that everything thai
makes life smoother and more convenient for you is
the result of the thoughtfulness and effort of a lot o:
people of whom you have never heard.
