New York Bakers Make Two
Sizes of Bread for Retailers.
Large Loaf Is Sold to Cash Customers
Over Counter, While Smaller Size
Goes to Those Who Order
Goods Delivered.

New York.-In the course of a con-
ference between Clement J. Driscoll,
commissioner of weights and meas
ures, and bakers of this city, number
of ingenious ways of defrauding the
public were exposed. The conference
was held with the object of formula
ting a plan by which bread may be
sold by weight.
Several bakers admitted that it
was customary for the wholesaler to
make different sized loaves for the re-
taller, who sells one kind to the GUS
toner who comes to the store for
bread. and a smaller size to those who
order bread delivered at their homes.
The bread dealers are making a de-
termined fight against the instalment
OF DriscolPs new plan, and their argu-
ments make interesting reading
How do you think that we can
support our horses and wagons IL we
do not make an added profit on the
bread which we deliver?" was the way
the representatives of the New York
Bakers association expressed their
point of view
How are We going to pay the jani-
tor OF every apartment house in town
for permission to put the bread and
rolls on the dumbwaiter, and get him
to watch and see that they go to the
right families, unless we make the
consumer himself pay the added ex-
pense?" one representative asked.
This thing is an established custom,
and thus far the consumer has never
shown that he is unwilling to pay a
little more for the privilege of re-
ceiving his breadstuffs in his own
house,
The commissioner, however, de-
clared he would continue his efforts
in the cause of selling bread by weight.
He seemed to favor pasting small
label on each loaf of bread sold, sta
ting its exact weight. The first OBJ
lection raised by the representatives
of the bakers association was that this
would be unsanitary.
II don't agree with you there" said
Driscoll. at present several of the
large wholesale bakeries paste their
names on the loaves of bread baked
by them, and so far as | have been
able to find out there has been no OBJ
lection to this either on the part of
the consumer or the board of health"
A shop to shop CANVASS by inspec-
tors showed a great dissimilarity in
relative weight and price of different
loaves.
The average Of IA loaves revealed
the fact that the consumer generally
received 219 ounces of bread for a
cent. but variations were considerable.
A French loaf Weighing one pound
cost ten cents, while cream loaf
weighing "a ounces only cost IL cents
Another loaf weighing 33 ounces cost
eight cents, while still another loaf
Weighing 26 ounces brought six cents.
In explanation the baker suggested

DANCING AS AN EDUCATION
Subject Under Discussion at the Last
Sitting of Women's Congress
in London.

Londcn.-The Importance of dan
cling as an educational asset was the
subject under discussion at the last
sitting of the Women's congress at the
Japan British exhibition.
"Educationists are agreed" said
Cecil Grace, "as to the desirability of
introducing dancing in the schools.
"It is one OF the most primitive
and universal of all the arts. True
dancing is an artistic expression of an
inward idea.
1T is necessary that school chill
dren should have some subject to
nourish the imaginative faculties"
After an interesting display of the
old-fashioned Morris dances, Mr.
Grace added that the objection to
dancing made by certain people was
disarmed by the fact that the Norris
dances were performed by persons all
of the same sex-originally men
and in them "the love motive was en-
tirely absent"
