SHORT WEIGHT BREAD
One Company Sells Loaves 4 0zs. Short
A Local Baker Gives Full Weight

MAN cannot live by bread alone"
tradition has it, as well as Scriptural
injunction. Certainly not, and any
way he could not live by bread alone
at short weight, especially where
some loaves are four ounces short in
weight.
A loaf of bread is supposed to
weigh one full pound, or sixteen
ounces. Some time ago when a GER
tain we'll known bread and pie COM
pany started out into business, they
advertised something like this :
Full weight; every loaf weighs a
pound. or words to this effect.
Did you ever try weighing every
thing you buy? If not, try it; it
pays, even if it is a little bit of
trouble. This is a true story and
can be vouched for by witnesses:
This morning a naval officer in
town visited certain store on Main
stret just about the time that a
bakery wagon left a supply of
bread. A little later another
bakers commodity was put for sale
at the same store, and finally
third. The officer, being a man of
keen judgment and accustomed to
sight measurements at glance,
said to Baker No. l:
That loaf does not weigh a
pound. 4"
''Oh yes it does,' said the bakers
representative, and after some dis
cussion the loaf of the A. B. C. Com
pany's bread was weighed and found
to weigh exactly twelve ounces, four
ounces short of pound.
Next in turn a loaf of Weaver's
bread was weighed and it tipped the
scales at 13 IL ounces, and finally
loaf of M. M. Smiths bread was
weighed and it weighed exactly one
pound. The only loaves of bread in
the lot that came up to the full
standard were those from the local
Main street bakery.
This was a revelation to the naval
officer, who, while he thouhgt his
eyes could not deceive him, had not
dreamed the loaves of bread to which
size he took exception, were four
ounce short in weight. A loaf, to
weigh twelve ounces. and sell for the
same price as one that weighs six
teen ounces, is good profit to the
baker, who makes one whole loaf on
every four he sells besides the other
profit.
There is much work for the Pure
Food Law authorities in Annapolis.
Come, and see for yourselves,
gentlemen.

ORDERS REVOKED
Naval Surgeon j. H. Iden To Remain AT
Hospital Here

Among the naval orders issued is
that revoking the order recently is
sued by the department at Washing
ton detaching Naval Surgeon John
H. Iden from the Naval Hospital
here and ordering him to the U. S. S.
Georgia.
Dr. Iden will remain here until
further orders. probably some few
months. The news of continuance of
Dr. Iden at the Naval Hospital here
is received with marked approval by
his large clientele. not only at the
Naval Academy, but in Annapolis,
where his good work as a member of
the House Staff of the Annapolis
Emergency Hospital is highly appre-
ciated.
1t is hoped 'revoking the orders
deaching the naval surgeon may i'm
ply his remaining here indefinitely.

ROAD CONTRACT SIGNED
Building Of Section OF State Boulevard
Awarded To w. E. FeIdemeyer Ard
Frank N. DuyaII-TO Grade
AT Once

Today the contract for building
that section of the State Boulevard
between the Severn River and Ar
nold's Station, in Anne Arundel coun-
ty, was signed and sealed, the con-
tract having been awarded to William
E. Feldmeyer, of this city and Frank
M. Duvall. of this county.
The contract was awarded some
little time ago, but was only signed
today by Messrs. Feldmeyer & Duvall.
1t is awarded by the State Roads
Commission and was signed for a
sum between $4,000 and $4S, 900.
The distance of the section of the
State Boulevard to be built by
Messrs. Fedmeyer & Duvall covers
80 miles, or 1-5 miles, making a
cost of about $4,000 or more per
mile for the expense of the road.
This is an expensive section of the
boulevard, as it contains the Severn
River bridge and abutment, etc.,
making that part of the work costly.
Messrs. Feldmeyer & Duvall will be-
gin the work of grading on November
/, but no macadamizing will be done
until the spring.
That the State Roads Commission
has awarded the contract to local con
tractors is matter of congratula-
tion to Annapolitans. The contract
for building the State Boulevard will
be awarded in sections only.

ST. JOHN'S.HOPKINS GAME
Two Maryland Institu tiOns Will Try
Conclusions On hOmewOOd Field
NOvemb Der 18th

At last the st. Johns Hopkins
game for this year becomes a reality,
the announcement arriving yesterday
that everything had been finally ar.
ranged and that the contest would
take place at Homewood on Novem-
ber IL.
Both teams may consider them
selves fortunate in being able to ar
range the date, for it was known
that unless Franklin and Marshall
and Gallaudet agreed to the cancella-
tions neither the Baltimore nor the
Annapolis squad would consent to a
change. The entire trouble might
have been and really should have been
avoided.
1t should serve as a lesson never to
be forgotten by future managers
and advisers. Both Hopkins and St.
Johns consider their annual strug-
gle the big event of their respective
schedules, and in view of this fact
the managers of both teams should
get busy at the earliest possible mo-
ment for next years contest.

PRICE ONE CENT.
MARVELLOUS SHOOTING
Man Shoots Candy OH Brothers
NOSe-.Most Difficult FeatS AccOmp.
liShed

There is a man in town who may be
termed marvellous when il comes to
shooting. This man is a Greek by
birth. His name is Greogalas. He
made his bow to Annapolis last
night at the Colonial, and the i'm
meuse audience that filled every
inch of the theatre applauded and
gasped at this rifle expert.
Many find it easy to hit pepper
mint candy with a rifle at reason
able distance. Greogalas takes two
rifles and shoots two at a time. He
even went one better, for he picked
up revolver and two rifles, shooting
three weapons at once and hit all
three candies.
He placed a candy on his brothers
nose and shot it off with ease. A
rifle was placed in a vice, and crack
er was placed on his brothers head.
He then moved his brother about on
the opposite side of the stage, put
him in range of the rifle with the
aid of sight.
Greogalas then picked up another
rifle and from the opposite side of
NAlN oNobt AC SlNA the Trigger OF ino
gun in the wise, discharged it, and
broke the cracker. He demonstrated
the merits of his act from all doubts
by going into the balcony and shoot
ing small candy on the stage. 1t can
truthfully he said this is the finest
exhibition of its kind ever seen on
the stage, and the Capital made no
mistake when it mentioned yesterday
that the act had appeared at the
American Music Hall, New York's
best vaudeville theatre, a number of
times during the past season.
1t surely is worthy of appearance
before the most intelligent audi
ence. 1t will be seen again tonight
at the Colonial Theatre for the
last time, as the Aborn English
Grand Opera Company occupy the
stage tomorrow. Four reels of pic
lures were given last night and it
was a continuous flow of compli-
ments from the patrons as they
passed out.

VIRGINIA POLYS TOMORROW
Navy To Try Conclusions With The
BIacksburg Cadets On Worden
Field

With the Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute Cadets from Blacksburg as
their opponents tomorrow. the mid
shipmen will be given light practice
by the coaches this afternoon. Just
what the lineup in tomorrow S game
will be is not yet known. as the
coaches are still trying out all of
their material to find the best pos
sible combination.
Yesterdays practice saw decided
change in combination on the first
team which, however, did not work
very we'll. This was the substitu-
tion of Sowell for McReavy at quar-
ter Although a good man at half
bac, Sowell did not show up to any
great advantage in his new job. Er-
win was placed at half on the second
team. and Shaw played quarter on
this aggregation while McReavy was
laid off for the day.
Shaw got away for a 60.yard run
and touchdown from receiving a
punt, and showed himself a speedy
and classy runner. He lodged and
wrlggled through the whole first team
and we'll deserved his touchdown.
The scrubs scored another touch
down, Howe getting the ball on a
tumble at midfeld, and carrying it
over. The first team did not cross
the line of the scrubs, but Cobb
kicked three field goals from place
ment.
Brown and Howe, the 200. pound
ers from the fourth class, fought
it out at guard. the former playing
on the first team. Brown had some
thing the better of it in general
play, but this was offset by Howe's
recovery of tumble and bis long
run for touchdown.
