Two important announcements are made by Berlin today In reporting continued progress of the Teutonic Invasion of Roumanla, the capture of Glurglu on the Danube and the taking of Curta De Arges on the Argechu river, eighty miles northwest of the capitol. The capture of Oiurglu places Field Marshall Von Mackensen's arm only thirty-seven miles from Bucharest with a railroad running thence along which the advance may be pressed. Tighten New Grip. Thus the semi-circle drawn about Bucharest and the Roumanian armies is gradually but steadily being drawn closer. Substantial successes . are reported by Berlin in the new operations for tightening the grip.

Mrs. Robert C. Wilson, 306 West Main street, said today that at the meeting of the Progressive Literary society, of which she Is an active member, next Tuesday the question of organizing the club women of Richmond for the purpose of attempting to reduce the prices of certain foodstuffs which are now so high as to be regarded unjustifiable, quite probably will come up for discussion. "At the last meeting of the society the question of advising the members of the Federation of Women's Clubs of Richmond to take some action on the cost of living was brought up but no definite action taken," Mrs. Wilson said. She added that she might suggest at the next meeting of her society that a committee be appointed to bring this question before the Federation. f "I. think this is a question whlcb

EVERYBODY SAVES HERE

Approximate figures on savings accounts carried at the present time by the Ave local banking institutions and the three building loan and savings associations show about $2,800,000 on deposit or being invested in homes. Richmond has a population estimated at 25,000, so the approximate pro rata saving account would be a little over $100 for . each resident of the city. Probably a fourth of the city's population, however, carry no savings accounts. It was estimated today that there were 750 Richmond people now purchasing homes for themselves through loans obtained from building loan and savings associations. For years Richmond has enjoyed a unique distinction, that a larger perNO STRENGTH FOUND IN SALOON CHEESE NEW YORK, Nov. 28 Saloon cheese and beer may be filling but if there is any nourishment in such a repast it 13 not in the cheese, it was brought out at the hearing of the Wicks legislative committee investigating food conditions here. It developed that "saloon cheese" la not purely a descriptive title, but is the trade name for a specific article, made out of skimmed milk and sold only to saloons for free lunch counters, according to the testimony of Ole Salthe, assistant director of the food and drug bureau of the city health department. SITS DOWN ON BONFIRE CHICAGO, Nov. 28. John Tomich, 6, took the dare of playmates and sat down on a bonfire. He died today. CLUBS TO FIGHT FOODSTUFFS HERE should be carefully considered by the Federation," Mrs. Wilson remarked. She said that she realized that prices now charged for some foodstuffs were justifiable, although excessive, because of a scarcity of supply of abnormal exportation but, Mrs. Wilson added, she believed that prices charged for other foodstuffs were being manipulated without cause or reason. She expressed the belief that, for Instance, there was no justification for the prices now charged for butter and eggs, for several kinds of vegetables and fruits and for certain kinds of canned goods, notably baked beans. Mrs. Wilson said that if certain staples were now bringing excessive prices not founded on an economic basis she believed the housewives of the city would be Justified in attempting to bring such prices down to a normal basis through , the establishment of an organized boycott.

HAMMOND WINS ON LAW POINT; MAY GO FREE "Wayne circuit court has no jurisdiction over Homer Hammond," Judge Fox ruled in circuit court today. Hammond, former president of the board of public works, charged with failure to provide :t for his wife, was found guilty by the jury before which he was tried a month ago. The attorneys for Hammond - presented a motion . asking that the suit be dismissed because the defendant had been a resident of Ripley county fof more than a year previous to the time that suit was brought and that therefore the local court has no jurisdiction over him. Judge Fox did. not pronounce sentence but instructed Hammond's attorneys to file petition for a new trial. The petition was granted today and immediately afterwards the judge ruled favorably on the "lack of jurisdiction" motion. Tomorrow morning the judge will either dismiss the case entirely or will certify it to Ripley county. Attorneys for Mr. Hammond contend that if the suit is dismissed, he will go free and that suit cannot be brought against him in the Ripley circuit court. Weather Forecast !
