SON Of BAKER ARGUES
FOR WRAPPED BREAD
c. I. Rocdsrer Conneads Campaign
Of Washiastoa Herald for
Sanitary Product.
SIMILAR LETTERS COMING DAILY

Growing interest in The Washington
Herald's untiring crusade for wrapped
bread and the Standardization Of the loaf
Is being manifested daily, and manJ
communications concerning the campaign
are being received at the office.
The substance of them all Is that
wrapped bread will not be received uni
versally until tho bakers decide to make
nc distinction in size and quality be
tween their scaled and unwrapped prod
ucts.
One of the most interesting and timely
letters received yesterday was from c. T..
Roederer. If Alexandria County, Va.
THE HERALD he said, lis wagins a
war to correct an evil already abolished
by every other civilized country on earth
years ago. With men and women work.
Ing, in many cases, for starvation wages
the matter Of the weight of a loaf Of
bread is of the utmost importance.
II am the son OF a little German baker
who fortunately died before big business
was heard of. When the little German
baker existed, there were laws In this
section of the country compelling him to
sell a loaf weighing sixteen ounces. and
the penalty for its violation was fine
and conhscation of the product.
big business with its assertive brazen-
ness soon found It convenient to have
that law declared unconstitutional. and
with its money its object was, as usual.
readily attained
Since then we have heard nothing but
Let the nickel fix the size of the loaf.
/ submit that II is no more trouble to
pay more or less than a nickel for bread
than 1t is to pay varying prices for news
papers.
Being the son of a German baker.
may be prejudiced in matters pertaining
to the ways OF the Fatherland. but ]
would like to have some good Anglo
Saxon point out the error in Germany's
of the full weight bread law.
l should like an answer differing from
the customary one, If you don't like our
ways, go back to Germany where you
belong"

est in the enlisted man and his plans

advanced the money for the purchase.

tected by having her look after his bust

ing for housing commission in the Dis
trict
A copy of the act under which the New
York City tenement house commission
was created in 1900 was submitted by the
District heads with their report. They
suggest that this act could serve as
satisfactory model for similar legtsIa-
ton in the District They further stated
that they are not IN favor of the creation
of an independent commission. They
point out that a body vested with func-
lions proposed for the housing committee
should have the authority to enforce its
conclusions and be provided with the
necessary funds.
The Commissioners believe they could
perform the duties Of the new commits
sion as well and more economically than
could an independent body.
