DETECTIVES BREAK
DOWN BANK DOORS
Records of Graham Bank at
Chicago Seized by Order of
District Attorney; Re
ceiver is Appointed.
Chicago, June 30. The private
banking firm of Graham & Son, the
deposits of which have been estimated
at rom $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 and
which held an important place in the
financial and industrial affairs of the
west aid, closed its doors Friday.
An involuntary petition in bank
ruptcy was filed an hour later after
fifteen detectives directed by an assist
ant state's attorney, broke down the
rear doors of the bank with crow
bars and seized all of the bank's
records.
The bank was founded by Andrew
Graham, for many years prominent
in Illinois politics. He died a year
ago, since when his sons, Ralph and
Frank, have been in charge of the
business.
Frank Graham said the bank was
perfectly solvent and attributed to de
mands for war contributions a
shortage in currency.
"I had received information that
some of the officers, and employes
planned to remove some of the bank's
property," said MacLay Hoyne,
state's attorney, explaining why he
had ordered the records seized.
"I have found in these private bank
failures that no public officer has i
disposition to act, ao I undertook the
rather unusual course of trying to
protect the innocent sufferer whose
money is at stake."
Federal Judge Carpenter appointed
the Chicago Title and Trust company
receive and William C. Niblock, vice
president of the company, took charge
f the bank last night.
The preliminary examination by
counsel for the creditors in the federal
court indicated the bank would, be
able to pay its obligations in full
"From what we have been able to
learn, the liabilities are probably $J,
000,000 and the assets close to $6,.
000,000," the attorneys said.
Ralph Graham, one of the owners
of the bank, is a son in-law of Wil
liam Lorimer, former United States
senator and part owner and organizer
of the Lasalle Street National bank,
which later became the Lasalle Street
Trust and Savings bank, which was
closed by the state authorities.
Judge Says He Will Look
After Boys at the Front
The first battle of the "Home De
fense League" was fought on the
streets of Benson Friday night.
A. M. Emmons, 3987 Saratoga
street, received a letter from his
brother at the front informing him
that E. E. Cain, 6008 Main street,
Benson, had been insulting his sweet
heart and added: "I expect you to
hold up my end."
"My brother was engaged to marry
Miss (deleted by censor) on the
Fourth of July," Emmons informed
the judge. "They talked it over later
and decided that they would wait un
til after he had 'done his bit' and he
joined the army. He would not get
married and try to escape service
that way. When I received his letter
I looked this guy up and when he
wouldn't do anything about it I hit
him."
Before paying his fine of $15 and
costs Cain told the court that he had
simply spoken to the girl on the street
and had done nothing out of the way.
"I know you mashers' ways too
well," the judge informed him, "and
we will look out for the boys who
have enlisted." Emmons was dis
charged. Iowa Girls at Chicago

Big Task Confronts Women
By J. OGDEN ARMOUR.
The American housewife is today
a more important factor in our na
tion's welfare than ever before. The
country requires her services on the
economical side of this war just as
much as it needs her son to handle
the rifle. The woman who is hand
ling the food supply in the home is
equal in importance to the man who
handles the gun on the battlefield.
The triumph of the soldier depends on
the efficiency with which you, as
housewives,, conserve the food sup
plies so that hunger be not added to
the ranks of our foe.
Here are four important things that
you must do as your share toward
winning this world-wide war and re
storing peace:
First-i-Eliminate waste.
Second Purchase on the basis of
need, not whim. ,
Third Lessen the) amount of food
eaten. ,
Fourth Reduce your standard of
living.
These are four general rules,
which, if followed, will conserve the
nation's food supplies and keep hun
ger from our door.
Stoppage of waste is the first and
chief necessity. Statistics prove that
you American housewives permit a
loss each year of food valued at $700,
000,000, most of which goes into the
garbage can. It is a stupendous sum
of money to throw away and it is
criminal when you consider the dire
consequences. This waste may mean
only a few dollars each monjh for the
individual family, but the aggregate is
appalling. It includes left-overs that
are not utilized; it includes food
spoiled by careless or incompetent
cooking; and it includes food that
spoils in the larder because it was
bought when not needed or in too
great a quantity. The loss from these
three causes is enormous and abso
lutely inexcusable.
The second rule is to purchase on
the basis of your needs rather than in
accord with your whims. In other
words, it is absolutely necessary to
reduce buying to a system so that
your daily fare will contain the food
elements necessary to a properly bal
anced ration and without a lot of in
consequentials set out merely to tickle
the taste. j
I would recommend to every wom
an that you follow the "cash and
carry" plan of buying in preference
to the "credit and delivery" plan.
That will cut living costs because it
will enable your dealer to cut his
overhead expenses. And, more im
portant still, by your contact with thei
dealer you can work together so to
standardize foods that they can be
handled with the greatest possible
economy and with certainty as to
quality.
My third rule advises you to eat
less. Americans are reputed to be
prodigious eaters. They are. Where
we have been serving five courses we
should serve three; where three, serve
two. In every case these are sufficient.
We load up the dinner plate to show
our hospitality and eat more than we
want to be .polite. These are prac
tices that we must discontinue. It
must be made fashionable to conserve
food, not to squander it.
The economic waste entailed
through the eating of veal, lamb and
suckling pigs is another point. It is
the part of wisdom now to do with
out these meats. The calves, lambs
and pigs of today will be vastly more
important in solving the food problem
of tomorrow than is the case today.
Lambs in particular should be spared,
because the army needs wool and the
supply is short. By letting the lambs
develop into sheep the wool clip of
next year will be 50 per cent larger
than that of this year. So cut veal,
lamb and suckling pigs off your menus
and advise your husbands and your
brothers and your sons not to call for
them at the hotels or restaurants.
Lastly, I should counsel, wherever
possible, to reduce the standard of
for Red Cross Cause
low Red Cross auxiliary at a meeting
of the woman members of the cluh
Tuesday af'ernoon. The auxiliary will
every Wednesday from 10 until 4
o'clock in the club rooms, beginning
July 11, and will not be confined
strictly to Happy Hollow club mem
bers. Mrs. McDonald will be assisted by
Mrs. E. C, Twamley. who will act as
censor and supervisor of the work
ernoon at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Addie
Hough will give the presentation
speech and the members will hoist the
flag. It waa given to the home sev
eral years ago and is now being re
moved to the new location.
The Businesj Women'i council
which has met every Tuesday for
luncheon at the court house will dis
continue the meetings because the
Red Cross headquarters now occu
pies the rooms where the club has
met. The council will close its meet
ings for the summer with a picnic
Monday evening at Elmwood park.
The Scottish Rite Woman's club
auxiliary to the Red Cross will meet
Friday afternoon at the catherdral. At
the meeting last Thursday the fifty
women present made 100 sheets for
the Red Cross.
Monday afternoon the South Side
Woman'i club will meet at 3 o'clock
at the home of the president, Mrs. P.
J. Farrell, to organize for war relief
work.
living. There is scarcely one of you
but can dispense with something that
will materially aid in the conservation
movement. I even go so far as to
recommend the introduction of a
meatless day at least once a week in
each family; and cutting down the
amount of meat used on the other
days by making smaller amounts
flavor casserole dishes, such as rice.
And, by all means, learn to use the
cheaper cuts of meat. They are whole
some and nutritious and require but
little culinary skill to make them de
liriously good to the taste. There
are various other ways in which living
standards can be made more in ac
cord with the situation confront
ing us.
The cheaper and coarse , foods
should also be more widely used.
Properly prepared, they will satisfy
the appetite and furnish bulk, both
of which are essentials. That will
make the higher class foods last
longer and go farther, and the reduc
tion in standard will not even be
noticed. Physicians agree that, as a
nation, we would be better off in
health and vitality if we ate less and
leaned farther toward the cheaper and
bulkier foods.
One more rule for the housewife:
Study household economy and cook
ing with an eye to rendering yourself
more efficient for the task before you.
A skilled nousewite can .ettect many
economies. the conservation of
every bit of fat is one of the most
helpful things that home managers
can do for the nation. Use every bit
of drippings from the meats. Knowl
edge of food values is important to
the progressive woman' who wants to
reduce expenditures and help the con
servation movement.
A concentrated diet, of course.
means less leeway, so the home man
ager needs the knowledge of what
constitutes proper food balance.
All ot the things 1 counsel might
well be called little things when they
are brought down to the individual
family; but when they are multiplied
by the thousands upon thousand of
families that make up the American
nation the little things swell into big
things, into enormous forces for good
or bad. It is for the housewives to
watch the little things so that they
may be made a huge and deciding
factor in our life and aims of, jday.-i-Ladies'

Territory of Hawaii
Will Join Dry Column
Honolulu, Tune 21. Hawaii is ex
pected in the immediate future to
join the list of states and territories
in the "dry column." according to
statements today by federal and- ter
ritorial authorities.
Brigadier General Frederick S.
Strong, commander of the Hawaiian
department, United . States of Amer
ica, has cabled to the War depart
ment at Washington asking that the
sale of liquor on the Island of Oahu
be prohibited on the ground that il
licit sales are being made to soldiers
and sailors in uniform in contraven
tion of the provisions of selective
draft act. Today he received a ca
blegram from the War department
stating that regulations were being
drawn up in Washington covering
the situation.
Honolulu is already virtually under
military law so far as the sale of
liquor is concerned.
Already many arrests of civilians
accused of such sales have been
made. ,
Strange Bug Destroys Corn.
Logan. la., lune 30. (Special.)
One hundred acres of line corn he

bug strange to western Iowa. The
bug is said to be a trifle lighter gray
than the natural loam soil, a half to
three-quarters of an inch long, and
with a long snout with which it hores
into the stalk near the ground, eats out
the heart and kills the corn.

and his aids became scrupulous about
not considering the population of the
districts just outside the incorporated
city and wishing to assign the quota
for not only the population in the
incorporated city, but also in these
outlying districts accidentally raised
the quota of each large city in this
district to almost twice what it should
have been.
Thus it was that Omaha from its
population of 2.25,000 was expected
to recruit 744 men. where in reality
only 500 at most were required from
here. In tiguiiug the quota for the
small towns, however, it was all
right to consider the population of the
outlying districts, since the population
of the incorporated town will not rep
resent half of the people that would
be enlisted as residents of that town.
Although the regular army could
still use a few men, yet things do
not look as badly as they did before
