gay no change in the price of bread is

cated the bread business by makipg two
factors where there ought to be only one.
Wo consider the price of a loaf and the
glie of a loaf. Franco, which has learned
In 2000 years not to leave "crumbs" on
the table that are large enough to choke
a cow, a thing we haven't learned, buys
and sella bread by weight. This simplifies
and puts the touch of frugality to retail

that tho best collateral Is a nation. This
luro of foreign Government bonds has
undoubtedly taught many to think rather
of investment than of speculation. Our
national vlco has been to think In terms
of profits rnthor than in terms of Income.
But tho war has mado Us suspicious of
profits. Tho best brains In this country
nro engaged now In trying scientifically
to discount a freakish medley of unex

THE 90 VS. THE 10 PER CENT
IN REPLY to tho complaint of a reader
that 10 per cont of tho pooplo own 90
per cont of tho wealth of tho country, an
other correspondent rushes Into tho col
umns of a contemporary to dcclaro that
10 per cont of tho pooplo also have 90
per cent of tho brains, which ho adduces
ns a good and sulllclcnt reason why tho
aforesaid Inequality in possessions Is per
fectly fair and proper.
It Is not Important how nearly accurate
thoso figures arc, for tho problem would
bo just ns interesting if tho percentages
wcro 40 and GO instead of 10 and 90, or
whether wo say "money" or "power," on
tho ono hand, and "brains" or "Ingenuity"
on tho other. Tho essential truth Is that
thoso who attain most completely their
obvious desires nro far In tho minority.
Tho day Is past when pooplo will ho
satisfied with that conception of tho prob
lem which puts tho rich In tho position
of n tightly banded force bearing down on
tho poor Just short of tho point of causing
revolution, and tho poor In tho position of
coming na near as possible to revolution
without running tho risk of being unablo
to buy shoes for tho baby. Democracy
and a highly specialized and ramifying
Industrial system havo scattered rich and
poor throughout tho population until they
aro hardly distinguishable. Tho waiter
who bows to and Is tipped by us Is, after
hours, himself bowed to by a lesser waiter
whom ho tips with part of our tip. Tho
"slave" in a factory may bo tho "tyrant"
in a union. Tho "tyrant" in tho factory
may be tho "slave" in tho stock market.
Again, your millionaire (ltko a Tom John
sonlor a Joseph Fcls) may bo tho reddest
radical In tho country, and your $1200 a
yeap clerk tho demon of plutocracy, be
cause, forsooth, ho sees his way to mak
ing a million. Tho rich always yo havo
with you.
Is there, then, no dividing lino In this
subtle war between superior and Inferior
brains, no touchstono In tho quest for tho
right pnth to progress? Thero is it is
in tho law. That 13 tho only social force
which links the generations In an Intelligi
ble, history. It is tho defenso of tho weak
against tho strong. It has not produced
Justlco; neither have riches produced hap
piness nor poverty hopelessness. But
still men strive for riches, still they keep
hopo though poor, Btlll they put their
faith in tho law. Through it thoy have
cleared away some dark and dismal for
ests, even though, while their axes fell,
the jungle of privilege (which Is Latin for J
"private lav' that is, no law at all) was
creeping in elsewhere. It is an unequal
struggle because the brains involved are
unequal. But It is eventually only
through tho law that presumes all equal
that any approximation of justice Is
made, Two great social movements,
which, while within the law are not of
the law, exemplify the weakness of ex
tralegal reform. A mighty labor union
and n mighty capital union have found
themselves in an impotent deadlock as
long as they tried to settle a public ques
tion by an application to it of private
methods. They gravitated to the office of
a man who has never run a locomotive
or managed a railway system, but who
represents the law.
The age-old problem of the 10 and the
90 per cent is not unsolvable; the line be
tween brains and brawn and between
millions and men is not clean cut, but all
zlgzaggy wjth social salients. Social leg
islation is a force that can move with
out the backing of either Capital or La
bor, But it will not move toward a more
stable equilibrium of Industrial justice
unless it Is made and administered by
men and women who have faith in it.
The Church could not live with agnostic
priests in her pulpits. The law cannot
wax stronger in the bands of those who
have no faith in its possibilities. Be
cause It has often failed is no argument
against its principle. Because men could
not measure Pike's Peak with a foot
rule they did not lose faith In the foot
rule; It was through keeping faith in the
foot rule that they evolved trigonometry
ajid measured tba mountain.

nnd more or loss unprofitable. But halg nnd
halg nro possessed of most excellent cs
culcncc, not to say succulence, notwith
standing tho opprobrium cast upon them
by our ancient nnd honorablo friend Mr.
Samuel O. lilythe. They conduct a spirit

It was our sad fato to havo to visit

tho floods camo on our brow something
flerco. Wo desired surcease, but all wo
found was this sign carefully put in visual
precedence:
TO OPERATE RADIATORS
TURN BOTH VALVES EITHER
ALL ON OR ALL OFF
Wo turn tho question over to tho Editor
of What Do You Know?
How does ono turn both valves either all
on or all off?
And In tho operating of radiators Isn't
It essential that one should know what one
desires? If, for Instance, ono should turn
both valves all on. ono might get all hct
up. On tho other hand, If one should turn
both valves all off, ono might freeze one's
oxorlastlng gizzard out. They aro very sad,
such things as that.
M. Guy de Maupassant has said all this
before, but not so well.
The matter Is fascinating fascinating as
tho legend we discovered years ago on the

his moro friendly moments, calls us a
poor, old, simple minded piece of tripe,
has done his bit in attempting to keep
the spot on the railroad map which shows
the route between Philadelphia and Wash
ington, yet we mean tp do more. Listen.
We don't propose to let Mr. Norman
Hapgood and Mr. Charles Hanson Towne
and Mr. Arthur FSartlett Maurice, to Bay
nothing of Philip Bollleau, Harrison Fisher
and Clarence Underwood we don't pro
pose, we say, to allow them to hog all the
front pages of the magazines. We propose
to have ono of our own. We shall edit It,
and when we begin to edit, we are some
redacteur en chef buh-lleve usl
Neither do we believe that F. P. A, Bert
Leston Taylor, Sam Klser, Jack Raper or
any other colyumlst not excepting Tom
Daly himself can beat us out when we
have the five pill and the yaller ball is
square in front of the pocket, and It's our
shot and there's nearly 65 cents in the pot.
Oh, yes, we can play ICelley as well as
Clare Brlggs!
But what we started out to say Is that
we're going to help keep Wilmington on
the map. We're going to have a magazine
ail our own, so far as what we choose to
say is concerned. We're going to call it

ECONOMY IN THE 10-CENT LOAF
To the fidltor of tho Evening Ledger:
Sir With tho lending brands of flour
at tho unprecedented price of $8.10 a barrel
to tho denier, and with every Indication that
It will mount higher, tho houscwlfo must
forthwith concern horbclf with tho problem
of tho bread-buying situation. If flour
prices remain at their present high flguro
and my information from ths wheat fields
of tho Northwest leads mo to fenr that they
will go higher5 It will bo Impossible for
bakers to sell tho small-sized loaf nt flvo
cents. Wo aro already confronted with tho
necessity of raising the prlco to six conts.
Nevertheless everybody for a time at least
may buy brend as economically, oven with
tho small loaf at bIx cents. Bakers can
contlnuo to sell tho large Blze, or 10-cent
loaf, at Its present prlco. From tho stand
point of quality, tosto and economy, that Is
tho size to buy, anyhow.
For a time we can bako the 10-cent lonf
In tho same bIzo as heretofore TIiIb we
shall bo nble to do because of the labor,
cost Eavod In baking nnd handling tho
larger loaf. It does not tako any more
labor to malto and cut dough for tho 10-cent
loaf than for tho B-cent loaf. It takes
no moro labor In handling It to and from
the ovens. In wrapping It. loading It on tho
wagons and delivering It to the stores. All
this saving wo can turn to the relief of the
housewife In theso high wheat times.
Tho big 10-cent' loaf Is tho Ideal and
practical loaf of tho household. Some house
keepers havo objected to It on tho ground
that their families do not eat the entire
loaf In a day and they did not care to
keep the remainder of tho loaf until, the
next day. If thoy will wrap the left-over
pleco In the up-to-date original airtight
wrapper It will keep as fresh as It was the
first day. Furthermore, bread on tho sec
ond day Is moro wholesome than on the
first. Ono good way to save money Is to
toast tho leftover bread.
I cannot too much emphasize the danger
of flour prices going higher, and -when they
do the bakers will be helpless, so far as
maintaining bread prices at their present
level Is concerned. From the great wheat
sections of the Dakotas and Minnesota I
have positive Information that but a small
percentage of the crop forecasted from them
will be delivered. Tho blight and rust, de
veloped by the Intense heat In the North
west, have cut the yield to a minimum.
This means high priced flour with small
chance of a retreat In the prices.
I most certainly believe an embargo
should be placed on wheat. Wo have, It
Is true, enough wheat In this country for
this year. But should the wheat crop next
year be a failure, our country would face
a calamity.
Tho country generally faces an increase
In the price of the 5-cent loaf of bread
But no evil Is as bad as tt first appears.
If the present high price of wheat teaches
the housewife to buy the 10-cent loaf of
bread, It will have accomplished a great
lesson In domestic economy.

NOT AFRAID OF THE "MOVIES"
To the Editor of the Evening Ledger;
Sir For several years I have been an
ardent devotee of the motion pictures and
have always taken my little boy to the
theaters with me. On Monday afternoon
at one of the leading movlng-plcture houses
I was Informed that no child under 16
years of age should be admitted, the or
ders coming from the Board of Health. To
say that I am greatly surprised at this
unjust dlscnminauon la yumus it inuuiy.
This morning I picked up one of the
Philadelphia papers and there on the front
paga was a largo photo showing the open
ing of the play streets In South Phila
delphia This photo showed about 600
children packed in closely together listen
ing to the speakers. Another showed them
using the Eame play chutes. Wednesday
I was in West Philadelphia and saw at
least 200 children bathing in the same
pool. Certainly there can bo nothing so
unhealthy as a swimming pool. Even
though the water is changed every day. it
lies stagnant for a whol day, and these
children bathe In there, yes, and to get
Clean, too.
The publlo parks are open, the Sunday
schools and I understand it is intended
to open the day school
Then why under the sun are the moving-
picture places discriminated against. This
cool weather Is bound to cauao tho epidemic
of Infantile paralysis to dlo out. In New
York It Is cut In half and tho panic of
feeling that tho movlng-plcturo places nro
breeders of this dlseaso is fast dying out.
Every live theater manager, I should Imag
ine, must keep his placo clean or he would
not do tho business. Ho would not get
mine, I know.
I know that thousands of other peoplo
feel tho snmo as I do about this matter.

THE PUBLIC HAS RIGHTS
To tha Editor of tho Evening Ledger:
Sir President Garrctson, of ono of tho
railroad brotherhoods, says that In the
ovent of a strike tho United States malls
will certainly bo affected to such an extent
that they might bo stopped altogether. Ha
says the cry, "Industrial necessity," Is used
by tho "Interests" to protect .their pockets,
and that during tho great railroad strike
In Franco by usurpation of powers the
men wero called to the colors and compelled
to serve tho public. He characterized such
action as a blot of shamo upon France.
Yet tho very man (a Socialist), who did this
trick had been called to tho Prime Min
istership to save Franco simply because
an Industrial revolution at that particular
time would have sealed the doom of Franco,
and now France knows It. Brland, tho So
cialist, a far-seeing man, not only stopped
tho holocaust, but began preparations for
war at once. He was damned and cursed
on every side. Now he Is trusted, hon
ored and loved by all except tho rattle
brains. If President Wilson must seize the
railroads In the interest of the public and
deputize tho employes by United States
marshal to operate tho roads, ho will do
bo not In tho Interest of the "big Interests,"
but of the public, whom the strikers Beem
to forget Tho strike is organized labor's
weapon, but It Is only effective when placed
In the hands of those who know how and
when to use It. The recoil of a gun some
times will kill a man. The general welfare
and domestic tranquillity are going to be
maintained een though "usurpation" Is
used to protect Innocent children, women
and men in their peaceable pursuits. The
publlo demands protection.

A GRATEFUL SONG
A blend of good and bad, and of laughter
and tears,
And I reckon when it's over, when I've
lived my string of years.
And have been the best I shall be and
havo Known all I shall know.
And my visit here Is ended and it's come
my time to go,
I shall turn, an friends departing, to this
kindly world and say
I am grateful for the gladness that was
strewn along my way.
A blend of loss and gain, and of bitter
and of sweet.
But I reckon at tho finish, when I've met
and I shall meet
And for mo no delay is dawning that
shall bring another friend,
Or victory or failure, when my visit's
at an end
I shall turn as one departing from a kind
and gentle host
And thank the world ."or gladness that in
life was uppermost.
I' wonder every, morning what new Joy
will come my way,
What new friend I shall discover with the
passing of the day
And what glad surprise is waiting, for it
really seems to me
That each day is always different than I
thought 'twas going to be.
And when my stay is over, when my 'share
of time I've had, , ,
l snail man ma worm lor doing all It
could to keep me glad.
I have wept and I have whimpered. I
have suffered days of pain,
But have lived to wake to smiling and to
view the sun again.'
I've, encountered selfish people, and somr
brutal men I've seen.
But the most of them I've lived with have
been big and kind and clean,
And tha care will be forgotten and the
wrong will disappear
And I'll thank the world, at parting, for
the Joys it gave me here,

Button Strikes
K. E. The "button Btrlke" Is a develop
ment of the last few years In tho anthra
cite coal region. A system has been estab
lished by tho unions requiring all members
of a union In good standing to wear con
spicuously a button Indicating that his dues
for the current month have been paid. If
any employe reports for work without his
button or wearing one not up to date, tho
members In good standing refuse to work
until tho delinquent either pays up or gives
up his Job.
Raw Material for Paper
.Editor of "What Do You Know" Is
there any ground for believing that paper
manufacturers could find raw material for
their product In the rice, cotton and sugar
cane fields of the South? K. M.
There has been considerable discussion
of this question of late. Henry Achilla
Durant, of New Orleans, recently stated his
belief that paper manufacturers could find
an abundance of raw material in tho dis
tricts you mention. He said that there
was assuredly enough waste from rice
crops, cano harvests and cotton fields to
supply a good many mills. "Our rice har
vest la practically over, and a vast quan
tity of rice trash Is available and more
will be In the fields In September. Very
few planters trouble to harvest tha second
crop of rice, called 'shawm,' which ripens
hi September. The Orientals make a very
utrong and beautiful paper from rice straw
Experiments in making paper out of ba
gasse, the- refuse from bugar cane that has
been crushed In the mills, have produced
a paper that looks like newspaper. As
the sugar cane has a strong. hemp-Hke
fibre, it seems to me that it should make
a very strong paper. We also have crops
of ramie, from which an Imitation silk 'a
made. The suggestion that paper can be
made from cotfbn stalks also opens un a
vast southern field of supply to the paper
manufacturer" vr
