After while walking club will be start
ed In this city The date of the proposed or
ganization and the other details were not
mentioned by the person who Is RESPONSE
Bile for this observation. Either the move
ment has not reached that stage In its
development or else the speaker did not
think 1t necessary to burden his CONVEX
sation with such details What he was
trying to emphasize was that there was
a revival of interest in walking as method
of exercise as well a source of recrea-
ton. Perhaps If he had taken the time
to go into that branch of the subject, he
would have said that the walking fad was
about to he introduced. as 1t Is doubt
full whether it has ever fiourished here
TO any extent
The only reason why it should be taken
up at this time is because people are be-
coming sensible about the care of their
bodies The beautiful walks which are
found in the country all about the city
and there is no city that is more highly
favored in this respect-are not new and
they could have been enjoyed hundred
years ago much as today, only perhaps.
they are now more accessible This Is es-
pccialy true of the Rock Creek region.
where the borders of that stream north
of Pierce MILL up to few years. were
practically inaccessible except to adven-
turous explorers. Roads have been opened
up through all that section which is now
known as Rock Creek Park.
The trolley cars make 1t possible to regu-
late the length of a walk and with that
help. one can travel all about the coun-
try. Some people dislike to commit them
selves to long walk. and so they are not
apt to take short one. With the knowl-
edge that there is car line handy. 1t has
been possible to walk greater distances
than the pedestrians were willing to add
init, as even among the possibilities.

said official of the State Department
the other day. will be interested in re-
port recently received from U. S. Consul
Mahin at Nottingham in regard to newly
invented process for making bread the chief
virtues of which are that it reduces the
time and labor. AS Is well known, most
of the time required in the ordinary pro-
cess of making the staff of life, is in the
preparation and treatment of the dough.
After that has been mixed and kneaded it
must be left to rise, process consuming
anywhere from four to twelve hours. I'm
der the new process it is said that this
operation is reduced to hours time.
The process is yet secret. but is said
to require no additional plant or materials,
the desired effect being produced by the
action of temperatures. AT a recent prac-
teal demonstration. the bread was made
up into dough ready for the oven in 80
minutes, and the batch of % loaves was
produced from the raw flour in two hours
and thirty-tive minutes. The -four was
weighed and the number of loaves COM
pared with the number produced by the
ordinary process, and il was found that
under the new process eight more quartern
loaves than usual were produced from a
sack of flour.

equally enthusiastic in telling OF the num-
Der of prizes she has won.
But" said a young man friend, telling
OF one of her experiences, there is one
prize she got that she did not win. l hap
