CONFIRMS STORY OF INFERIOR
SHELLS FOR BATTLESHIPS
Made by Inexperienced Friend of Dan
iels, Says Assistant Secretary of
Navy
Uu n Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28. Offlclnl confir
mation was obtained hero today of the re
port printed exclusively In the Kveniko
J.edorr that big-gun ammunition pur
chased of an Inexperienced munitions man
ufacturer In Raleigh, N. C, the home of
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels,
had proved worthless In target practice.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin
D. Roosevelt admitted that shells purchased
of the Raleigh Iron Works Company had
failed to give satisfactory results. He
confirmed tho report that the shells. Instead
of carrying to the target, miles away, had
exploded shortly after leaving tho guns and
the pieces of iron had dropped Into the
water only a few feet away from the ship's
sides.
This, It Is believed, accounts In part for
the low scores made by some of the big
guns In recent battle practices.
Roosevelt also confirmed the report that
the Raleigh company, prior to being award
ed a contract for battleship munition under
the Daniels' administration, had never been
in the munition business.

JEWISH NEW YEAR
SERMON ON RELIGION
Rabbi Berkowitz Telia of Dark
War Period, but Predicts
Betterment
Rabbi Henry Berkowitz, speaking before
the Congregation Rodef Shalom, at Broad
and Mount Vernon streets, today, devoted
his sermon on the Jewish New Year to a re
view of the last year from the viewpoint of
religion. "One of the darkest years In the
history of the human race," he said of It.
The world war, the Industrial contests In
this country in the last year all these he
cited, but went on to say that despite them
one could se under the gloomy surface of
things mighty forces at work for the bet
terment of human conditions. He said In
part:
"Israel's function now Is to act as the
prophet-people and re-emphaslse through
the New Year's observance the message of
hope proclaimed by our Inspired seers of
otd. The oldest people In history, we bAu
witnessed the collapse of many an earn?
civilization and endured Inquisitions, exile
and massacre, lived through tha Thirty
Years' War, the One Hundred Years' War
and all the other wars, but never lost faith
In the ultimate triumph of right and the
vindication ef the divine law the Creator
has Inscribed In the souls of men, as clearly
m He bas stamped the nhysisal lawa on tho
universe.''

KANSAS CITY. Mo., Sept. 28. 'The
greatest need of the day Is tho need of
universal military, Industrial and economic
preparedness," declared Frank A. Vander

Bankers' Association here today.
"I once thought you could count universal
military service as an economic waste. I
feel confident In the light of the events of
the last two years that It Is not only a
military necessity of superlative import
ance, but that our national life would draw
a unity, our democracy would receive a
regeneration and our youth would obtain
a physical training and comprehension of
the value of obedience and a patriotic de

AND GET PAID FOR IT
Two Italians Merely Transfer
Bickerings of Their Trade
, to the Stage
Two Italian bootblacks arguing on a
street cornerl Who would pay to see It?
Five years ago two Italian bootblacks
argued so well on a street corner that a
theatrical producer put them on the stage,
where they are now; and people pay to
see It. Arguing proved lucrative to them
nnd that's probably why Clark nnd Verdi,
In nn Italian character sketch at Keith's,
still make t business of arguing In tha
"McAronl Ballad" dialect made Immortal
by "Tom" Daly.
While they were shining shoes on Broad
way Clark and Verdi noted that a certain
group of theatrical men paid them a quarter
for a shine. Rivalry, scrambling and argu
ment followed. The rivalry and scrambling
ended when they were paired and "tried
oh the dog," but they kept on arguing. It
paid.
Their act. In which a newly arrived son
of Italy Is offered a "goot Job manicuring

patriot. Itself is a lesson In American op
portunity and (he force of argument.

BREAD PRICE BOOST DEFENDED
Forced on Bakers by High Prices, Say
Chicago Flour Men
i
CHICAGO, Sept 28. Defense of Chicago
bakers, who have announced a rise In tho
price of bread to take effect today, Is made
In a statement by a special committee of
the Flour Men's Club.
"When the price of wheat advanced fully
sixty cents a bushel from the nominal aver
ago of other years. It Increased the cost of
flour from $3 to $8.60 a barrel," the state
ment said. "This was due to the shortage
of the wheat crop as evidenced by tho
Government report,whlch shows a short
age of 400,000,000 bushels. Almost every
commodity used In the manufacture ot
bakers" products had advanced materially.
The baker mutt advance the price of bread
to stay In business."
MLK MAY COST MORE
AND BREAD SIX CENTS
Dealers in Both Products iMeet
and 'Discuss Increase in
Prices
While small bakera are reiterating tha
the price of bread must b,e increased to six
cents, there comes a similar story from
milk dealers, who are considering charging
an additional cent on each quart of milk.
At a meeting ot the Philadelphia Milk
Exchange yesterday, In the Chamber of
Commerce rooms, the question of charging
a cent more for each quart of milk was dis
cussed, There was a marked minority op
position to the proposed action and the
meeting adjourned without doing anything
definite. The riembera .will convene again.
next week and take the public Into their
confidence -aa to ihelr Intentions.
The discussion of the price of bread came
up at a meeting of tho Philadelphia Master4
Bakers' Association, In Teutonla Hall, 1701
North Woodstock street.
Richard Ryley, a Tacony baker, said the
probable IncrcVue to th housekeeper n the
cost of higher' priced bread would be about
twenty-five cents each week, averaging a
consumption of about two loavea dally.
This Increase, he pointed out, would be
merely a measure to save the bakers frm
failure, and could not compare with the
recent Increases In meats aad prdu.
