Taylor said, are No. 1 corned beef, from 29 cents to 22 cents; No. 10 bacon, from $4.15 a can to $3.50: No. 8&8 bacon from 31 cents to 24 cents a pound; No. corned beef, from 55 cents to 45 cents a can. These were reduced because pyr- chasers were few. Additional forces have been put on to take care of the orders. The back orders consist fer the most part of such staples as canned corn, to- matoes and pease. As a surplus comes in-these orders are filled. Sur- pluses exist to fill virtually all of the orders, it was said, and the orders are being sent out as rapidly as pos- sible. Delay in delivery was caused by errors in ordering as well as lack of goods. The crowd in line at the army food store, Fourth street und Washington avenue, yesterday afternoon, was larger than on any previous dav since the store opened Sept. 25. At 2 p. m., approximately 325 persons, mostly women and girls, were stand- ing in the sun on the east side of street. The line extended from the front door of the store, at the southeast corner of Fourth an’l Washington, south for a block to St. Charles street, and east on St. Charles for more than half a block. The line, for the most part, was two abreast but in spots was three, four and five abreast. Wait in Line Two Hours. Elderly women, carrving @ basket on each arm, were in the line. At - p. m., those in front waiting to be admitted to the store said they had been there since 11:45 a. m. | passed and Justice Stecker wouldn't do any- thing until he looked it up for him- self. Both of them have been in office many vears, and the law was in 1917, It states that ths fine may be $1 to $50. When a man stands trial on a traf- fic charge, he has the right to de- mand a jury. In the past, has persuasively confided to ac- cused persons that in case they should be found guilty, the least pos- sible fine would be $25, and the greatest, $100. How much better, they explained, if the automobilist would simply pay the costs—-$7.60— and be on his way. The automobilist usually paid. The costs, which the officials cal- culate by a procedure all their owa. are divided among the Justices, the Constable and his deputies. When the accused demands a trial by jury and is acquitted there are no costs. The State gets nothing from the costs, but does get the fine, when one is assessed. Edward Ogletree of Maryland Heights was arrested last May and was fined $25 and costs -when he , Court, did not pay the casts and take a dis- missal. He appealed to the Circuit a move which was not suc- cessful for him, as a jury there made the fine $50, but it served to attract ‘the attention of Kiskaddon \o the Several women were compelled to. drop from the line after a wait of more than an hour and a half ons account of exhaustion. Inside the store 36 clerks were wait.ng on about 150 customers. Be. | tween 10 and 15 persons were ad- mitted at.a time: The length of tine spent by each customer in the | store varied from a half hour to an | hour, depending upon the amount of provisions that was being purchased. At the West End store, Vandeven- ter avenue and West Belle place, the crowds are getting larger each day and the conditions there, regarding long Waits, were similar to those at the downtown store. An officer at the arsenal said that ‘the army would not be justified in opening any other stores in St. Louis the popularity as the increased overhead expense would have to be added to the price of the food and the Government was desirous of selling it to the people at the lowest possible ficure. He said the people in large sponsible for numbers availing themselves of the ‘earliest opportunity to buy. ‘is no need for haste, he said, , were statute, which led to the discovery of the true state of facts. When a Post-Dispatch reporter inquired of Justices Stecker a+. -d Werremeyer why they had not read the law before applying it, both said they “understood” the other version to be the correct one.

Sox plavers vesterday, in addition to bona fide world's series pitching by the diminutive Kerr, got the “breaks” of the game and brought the series to 2-—1. Saturday always has been a goad baseball day in Chicago and the crowds that began forming about the park before midnight last night in- dicated that the 35,900 capacity of the enclosure would be taxed today. No announcement from either Manager Gleason of the Sox or Mo- ran of the Reds was forthcoming as to his pitching selection for today’s game, but it generally was supposed that Cicotte would be sent back to bats that drove him from the box in the first game at Cincinnati. and either Ruether or “Hod’’ Eller would be the Reds’ moundsman.
