She began life handi-| capped by the {mily name of! “Bogss,” in the small town known as) Cranberry Corners, At the age of 18 she had acquired the name. of “Carrington” and a ition in the chorus of a metropolit company. Thence upward ascended by the legitimate and Ne- Jectable steps of “broiler,” member of the famous “Dickey-bird” octette, in the successful musical 5 “Fudge and Fellows,” leader of dance in “Folde-Rol,” at length to the part of the | “"Toinette” In “The King’s Bap | Robe,” which captured the criti¢s | and gave her her chance. And when ‘we come to consider Miss Carrington # ghe is in the heyday of flattery, fame and fizz; and that astute managet, Herr Timothy Goldstein, has her sige nature to ironclad papers that she will star the coming season in Dydé Rich's new play, “Paresis by Gas- light.” Promptly there came to Herr Timo- thy a capable twentieth century young character actor by the name @t Highsmith, who besought engage ment as’ “Sol Haytosser,” the comic and chief male character part in “Paresis by Gaslight.” “My boy,” said Goldstein, “take the tions. She has turned down half a @ozen of the best imitators of the rural dub in the city. She declares she won't set a foot on the #tage un- Jess ‘Haytosser’ is the best that can be raked up. She was raised in a village, you know, and when a Broad- Way orchid sticks @ straw in his hair and tries to call himself a clover Diossom she’s on, all right. I asked her, in a sarcastic vein, if she thought Denman Thompson would) make any kind of a show in the part no,’ says she. ‘I don't want him or John Drew or Jim Corbett or any of these swell actors that don't know a turnip from a turnstile. I want the real article.’ So, my boy, ff you want to play ‘Sol Haytosser’ you will have to convince Miss Car- _Fington. Lueck be with you.” Highsmith took the train next day for Cranberry Corners. He remained im that forsaken and inanimate vil- lage three days. He found the Borgs jfamily and corkscrewed their history unto the third and fourth generation. He amassed the facts and the local color of Cranberry Corners. The vil- lage had not crown as rapidly as had Miss Carrington. The actor esti- Mated that it had suffered as few actual changes since the departure of | fts solitary follower of Thespis as| had @ stage upon which “four years! fs supposed to have elapsed.” He absorbed Cranberry Corners and re turned to the city of chameleon changes. It was in the rathskeller that High-| smith made the hit of his histrionic career. There is no need to name the place; there is but one rathskeller where you could hope to find Miss| Posie Carrington after the perform-| ance of “The King’s Bath Robe.” | There was a jolly small party at! one of the tables that drew many} eyes.

For Mrs. Waltt, mother of 10 children, has leafaed fortitude and forgiveness in a hard school. “T will know in a few days,” she said today, “whether it is really true’ that God hears the prayers of mothers. I pray all the time, every hour I am awake, and many. mahy times in the night And we have many letters from mothers who tell me they are praying with me'for my boy” MOTHER'S LIFE FULL OF TOIL The Wolff home stands on a shadeless hill, swept by the dusty winds of the Yakima valley's rim.

We sat in a cheery room, where two yellow canaries were singing. On my knees was a Bittle heap of lettets and family ‘photographs.

How much longer is the public going to submit to profiteering purveyors of food? It is a strange thing that with an average decrease of 8 per cent in general costs thruout the country, res- taurant prices mark no change. Sugar, flour, coffee, potatoes, butter, milk—all along the line foods are becoming cheaper. But restaurants maintain their war-time prices. * *#* * »* * & » *» * ‘ If the market rises, the bill of fare quickly reflects the change. But when prices drop the restaurateur looks the other way. Was there ever a cup of coffee on which a fair profit could not be realized at 5 cents? With the best eggs worth 6 cents apiece on the whole- sale market, one pays 15 cents each over the lunch counter. Potatoes bought for 2 cents a pound cost the cus- tomer 40 cents & pound when served as French fries. Milk costs at the rate of 80 cents a quart in the res- taurant. And so it goes, all along the line. Having taken ad- vantage of war-time conditions to boost their prices sky- high, restaurateurs are loath to relinquish the fat profits they are making. * * * * * * UT the time has come.

Carkeck, of 7618 First ave. N. W., this city, was ordered rewased from custody today. Members of the pronecuting attor- ney’s corps as well as Mra, Car keek’s lawyers, were silent as to the cause of the release and dismissal of the charge against the prisoner. Hembrooke, a switchman, first made his appearance a week ago when it became known he was to be an important witness in the divorce | suit of Charlies W. Carkeek, presi- dent of the Master Builders’ associa- tion of Seattle. Carkeek charged that he had | broken in the doors of his residence | at 1 p. m, about a month ago, to| find Mrs. Carkeek and Hembrooke in a compromising situation. With him were three detectives. } WIFE CHARGES CARKEEK “FRAMED” ON HER Mrs. Carkeek, in answer, declared the whole affair was a frameup to get evidence by which her husband might free himself from his home ties. The first she knew of Hem- brooke’s presence in the house, she sald, was when she heard the crash- ing of doors and awakened to see Hembrooke in her presence, half clad, She later charged that her hus band had employed Hembrooke in the capacity of a private detective to crawl in the basement window and make it appear that she had been entertaining him. Hembrooke subsequently was said to have made a confession to Mrs. Carkeek's lawyers, in which he ad- mitted having received, $600 from Carkeek, the husband. HEMBROOKE ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTED BLACKMAIL On this confession, it is said, the charge of attempted blackmail was based, and Hembrooke, who had left the city, altho he was under sub- poena to appear as a witness in the divorce case, was arrested at Racine four days after he departed from Seattle. Attorney Clarence L. Reames, one of Mrs, Carkeek’s counsel, appealed jto the prosecuting attorney's office to take the matter of extraditing Hembrooke up with Governor Hart. Suddenly, this morning, Deputy | Prosecutor C. A. Batchelor appeared Jat the sheriff's office and ordered a telegram sent to Racine releasing the prisoner. “The state does not intend to go to the expense of bringing him back,” sald Batchelor. - WILLING TO COME BACK WITHOUT FIGHT When informed that Hembrooke | had already telegraphed that he would come back without extradi-| tion, of his own accord, Batchelor | sai® he had not seen the telegram. “AnyWay,” he said, “the state does not care to extradite him at this time, That's all there isto it, New developments have occurred.” Attorney Reames when asked for a statement said: “I'm sorry. I would like to give out an interview on the matter, but I cannot.” Hembrooke is still under sub- poena to appear here as a witness in the divorce action, but unless he comes back of his own free will, he will not appear, Batchelor auld | NEXT YEAR‘.

TRYING TO STEER IMPOSSIBLE COURSE Caldwell expressed himself as ad- verse to giving Stone and Webster people a better contract than that they now hold by calling on the general fund to keep the system in operation. At the same time he pointed out that the property owners and mer- chants of the city are leaving it to} the patrons of the lines to pay off the entire capital stock of the municipal road. “It is a human impossibility to successfully navigate the fatuous course that we are now embarked upon,” the mayor stated. “Shall we continue to raise the street car fares during the next 18 years, until they reach a point where an insufficient number will ride on the cars to make their operation worth while, or shall we give the Stone & Webster inter- ests a better contract than they drew up by making an entrance in- to the general fund in order to keep the system going? “Long after my iIncumbency as mayor has been forgotten,” Caldwell added grimly, “you will be wrestling with this problem unless the con- tract is rewritten or cancelled.” That the city of Seattle in the (Turn to Page 7, Column 4) Ring Lardner Herbert Corey Dean Snyder ‘These three famous journalists are covering the world’s series— and you'll find their reports of the games in The Star, be- sinning Wednesday.
