Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations
of a Wife
A "reckless thie" is working in
the city, according to reports of
- seven burglaries to police yesterday.
Seven'liomes in the north part of the
city were ransacked by the "reckless
thief" and nothing but furs, jewelry
and guns taken. In each instance
entrance was gained by cutting out
panels of rear doors. The size of
overcoats taken from two of the
homes entered move police to be
. lieve the thief is v of enormous
btatur?.
Detectives have learned of but one
instance in which the "reckless thief"
v was seen. Mrs. P. Craig. 9.'09 North

was nearly six feet tall, weighed 190
pounds, had black curly hair and
was dark complexioned, Mrs. Craig
told police. Mrs. Craig frightened
the nwn away with a gun.
Picks Large Overcoats.'
An overcoat o"f large size was
taken by, the "reckless thief" from
the home of A. Muroff, 2726 Frank
lin street. The man cut the panel
out of the rear door. Three other
homes in the same neighborhood
were also entered in a similar man
ner. -Joe Bender, 2833 Parker street, re
ported the theft of a kodak, lavallier,
ladies' scarf and a v gun from his
home Saturday night. The thief en
tered by cutting out the glass of a
basement window and also the panel
of the door leading upstairs.
The "reckless thief" also entered
the home of J. Walpole, 1104 Turner
boulevard, by cutting' a panel out
of the rear door. He ransacked he
, house but took but $12 in currency
from, the dining room table.
- ' Gets Two Guns.
Frank W. Baker, 3515 Davenport
street, told police that a- burglar
cut through a window of his home
Saturday night and stole two guns
and a pair of cuff links.
' A diamond ring and scarf pin set
with a small diamond were taken
from the home" of Frank A. Free
man, ,152 North Fifty-fifth street,
the same night, according to a re-
port made to police. The thief en
tered the house by cutting out the
glass in a side window.
In each instance of glass cutting,
the "reckless thief" used a diamond
cutter, detectives say, from, evidence
so far gathered. A carpenter's wood
knife was evidently used to cut out
the panel s of the doors, police say.

Bread in Chicago Going
J Up One Cent Today
Chicago, Oct. 5. Wholesale ba
kers of Chicago notified" customers
vesterday that on and after Mon
day the wholesale price of bread
would- be advanced from 8 1-8 to 9
cents for the pound loaf, and from
12 1-8 to 13 cents for the pound and
a half loaf. -
This will compel retailers to add
another cent to the cost of these
loaves to the consumer, making the
prices 11 and 16 cents respectively,
or accept a reduction of 1-8 cent
profit on each sale. The consumer
is the one who will have to tighten
up his belt another notch and go on
a special "bread ration" unless he is
- willing to stand for the extra cent
-The spokesman for one large
baking company said the advance
was made imperative by the in
creased cost of raw materials.

How Madge Prepared to Meet
Dicky.
I felt as fluttered as a schoolgirl
as I went to my room to dress for
Dicky's return, of which I felt assur
ed, though I only had the arrival of
the big box for Junior as my war
lant. But I would allow no shadow
of doubt to cloud my anticipation,
and I hummed a little tune as I hur
ried through my dressing.
Sometimes I hesitate over - the
choice of a gown, fearing the one I
have chosen first my not be quite
suited to the occasion for which I
am donning it. But today there
was no hesitancy. The very frill
iest, fluffiest, prettiest one I
possessed was none to good for the
homecoming of ray husband.
I took down from its padded
hanger and its-white wrappings a
gauzy, floating, fragile gown of
robin's egg blue and cream.
When I had fastened its last snap,
and remembering one of the things
that Dicky liked-had tucked a rose
at the side of my coiffure, I went
down the stairs in search, of my
small son. . . . j
Mother Graham's Greeting. ' j
For I meant my husband to find
us in the garden, that wonderful
group of rose bushes which we to
gether had pruned and trained as
much as such a neglected tangle !
muld be trained. Now it was a fra
grant wilderness of blossoms, and it
called to me insistently. Somehow
I felt that Dicky could not remain
ancrv at me in such a setting.'
,vly mother-in-law was pushing
Junior up and down , the screened
side veranda when I came there in
search of him. -
"Weill" she ejaculated open
mouthed, when she caught sight of
my costume.
I knew as well as if she had
spoken her thoughts aloud that her
first impulse was to give utterance
to a caustic criticism of. the unsuit
ableness of my own gown. But her
anxiety for a reconciliation between
Dicky and me gave her comprehen
sion, I think of motives in' don
ning it, for after a moment's silence
she said in kindly, accents:
"You look very nice indeed Mar
garet. Do you want Richard Sec
ond now?"
"Yes. if you please, mother," I
returned. "I am going out into the
garden to gather roses for the rose
bowl in the living room I filled
everything but that and as there is
nothing to do , here, I thought I
would sit out here a little while with
Jun Richard Second."
An ironical smile flitted across my
mother-in-law's face at my substi
tution of her name for the fiaby in
stead of our own. But that I pleas
ed her I was sure as I heard her
cordial assent to my plan:
"Surely. Stay as' long' as you
like," she said heartily. " "When
Richard comes I will tell him where
you are."
With a sudden impulse I kissed
her warmly as I took the perambu
lator from her hands.
"Thank you, mother for every
thing," I whispered.
What Madge Planned.
She patted my cheek, one of her
rare caresses, and uttered one of her
rarer expressions of approval as she
fairly pushed me toward the door:
f You are" a good girl Margaret, a
good wife and a good daughter.
Now run along and gather your
roses." .....
When I finally found myself upon
a rustic seat in the rose garden with
Junior -beating the air with 'baby
ecstacy. I felt myself trembling
with the fear that even if Dicky did
come home he might not be ready
to "make up" in the royal fashion
which generally characterizes the
end of one of his tantrums.
After all, I reasoned, it is for the
baby's first birthday, not for me, that
he is coming home. Suppose, fac
ing the alternative of remaining
away from his little son's first anni
versary, or taking back the ultima
tum'he had given me, he has decided
upon the, middle course of coming
home, treating me- with outward
courtsey, but still preserving the
grieveance against me which he
thought he had.
The sound of a train whistle
brought me to my feet in sudden
excitement. If Dicky came home he
would in all probability be upon the
train. Of a sudden I felt foolishly
panic-striken, ready to run and hide
at the first sound that should herald
his approach.
Because fo the war which took
them both away, Dicky and Alfred
Durkee have never been able to
carry out the elaborate plans they
had made for the beautifying of the
tangled bit of wilderness which
surrounds the small lake at the foot
of the gardens. But with Jim's aid
they have cleared away some of the
underbrush, thrown a footbridge
across the brook, and built a tiny
rustic summer house under a big
elm on the other side. Lifting Jun
ior in my arms I hurried across the
bridge ino the summer house, where
the vines successfully screened me
from observation.
There was method in my seeming
madness. It was 'a favorite retreat
for Dicky and me.
If he sought me there, instead of
waitine until I came into the house
.and meeting me casually before
others, I should know tnat ne was
again my royal lover.

Reaching Predisposing Causes
Wopld Increase Production, Lessen
Cost and Solve High Cost of Living i
By WILLIAM TANQUERY
It has come to be so firmly established as to be ac-
; cepted as axiomatic that to give relief to the present con
', dition of affairs in all those respects in which the cost of
living is affected, it will be primarly necessary to increase
I production and at the same time lessen its cost.
$
It is plain that if this can be done, the greater pro- 2
I. duction will give sufficient supply of all kinds of goods -j
to go around to everybody, the greater supply tending 'J
to prevent a monopoly, and at the same time forcing that
competition which results in lower prices, this low price
'resulting from the greater production, at a lessened cost,
in a natural way, without resort to arbitrary processes
of the law.
However, back of or underlying this fundamental
proposition, are contributing causes which are not so
r vague and difficult of conception to the ordinary mind
or thinker as not to be readily appreciated when pointed
out. To relieve the conditions complained of these pre
disposing causes must be taken into, consideration and
handled before a feasible or workable pln can be for
mulated to bring about the vital increased production
L at lessened cost.
One of these predisposing causes is found in the fact
that social and political relations have become such that -s
the natural resources can no longer be manipulated as
formerly, jnor is labor as susceptible of exploitation.
Further, enterprise in business and commerce, with
its attendant investment and distribution of capital, not
only lacks encouragement, but is being held back, in
some cases by a natural timidity on the part of the in-
tvestw or business man, and in other cases through the
deliberate design of those who think to see profit for
themselves in thus getting and keeping, the situation in a
position where it can be governed and released or
tightened up at will. ,
A factor that would be of powerful influence in
combatting or overthrowing any such design or move
ment, and one which would inspire the whole country,
I with every business man and mart of trade, would be
the inauguration of a vast and country-wide going-back-
to-the-farm movement, with an enormous crop production
m every ciass vi iooascuii tnat springs irom tne eartn.
1
..With the markets overloaded and glutted with wheat
hand grains, vegetables and fruits, products of the poultry
; yarcTand stock farm, the tension would be eased in every
nook and corner, confidence would be restored and hap
piness bloom in the features of everyone from the low
liest $6 a week clerk to the $50,000 a year manager.
Plenty to eat and knowledge that it can be had at any
time, with no fear of a famine would immediately re-
: lease that anxiety which is at the bottom of half the
: evils that are recognized as handmaidens of a panicky
condition. , .
Cheaper transportation, and a vast sale of goods to
foreign markets, with the resultant handsome profits
always to be found in transactions with the outer world,
would also contribute to relieve conditions, and this
cheaper transportation is to be found in the development
or increased use of the waterways.
0
Elimination of the non-producer, the middle man,
and more direct communication between the producer
and the consumer is another vital and important factor.
And all these would be directly helpful and con-
: tributory to the primary proposition that to cure, adjust 1
or alleviate the economic evils from which the world is
; suffering greater production at lesser cost must be ac-1
; complished.
