IN GETTING RICH
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of cat Good Old Siwash."

Getting rich Is the great American
game. The season lasts twelve months
each year, Sundays included. and the
players include practically all the citizens
able to distinguish the salient points Of
difference between a dollar and stick OF
candy.
The getting rich game is played on all
kinds of fields. Some men play 1t for
sixty years on a fiat top desk, while
others use a 100000 acre farm and still
others a small green baize covered table.
There are no standard implements for
playing the game either. Some men use
a stock ticker. some Irvine binder and
some the small but eloquent pocket in
strument of conversation, which can
make eight speeches with one loading.
Some men play the game by betting a
thousand dollars on a horse race In the
hope of accommodating another thousand.
Others prefer to save up $500 and in
vest IL ali in a rubber company in the
hopes of getting spinal trouble while try
ing TO lug home the dividends. In both
cases the principle is the same. but IN
the former the end comes more speedily
and is comparatively painless.
Getting rich is a sort of catch-as-catch-
can game. There are no rules to speak
of. Generally speaking. in polite circles
IL is not proper to club a man while TAX
ing his money away from him. But this
is only because more convenient methods
have been perfected. The coarse hold-up
man who beats his victim with a gas
pipe while subduing him is looked upon
with great scorn by the soft spoken cap
tain of skindustry who sells the same
victim a little preferred stock and then
runs the price down until said victim
parting asks him as a personal favor
to take it back for nothing.
Getting rich is a peculiar game because
everybody loses and nobody wins. Some
men lose health and others reputation.
Some lose a happy and carefree youth,
while others lose their patriotism. Some
mislay their wives and families in their

Thus Heating talked to him for near

finally said he would not kill him. Per
haps you are right about it, said the
visitor. but 1 was mighty anxious to

Heating, calmly.

DEMAND FOR WRAPPED
Bread IS INCREASING
Grocers Are Laying in Supply Of SAM
tary Product-Other Bakeries
will Fall in Line.
BAKERS CORRECT STATEMENT

As the result of The Washington Her
AIDS campaign, aided materially by the
Housekeepers' Alliance. the sentiment in
favor of wrapped bread is growing daily.
Additional growers are laying in supplies
Of the sanitary product, and from all
sections of the city comes the word that
the demand is increasing-slowly but per-
ceptibly
The story of THE Complaint of a Loaf
Of Bread" published In The Herald of
Sunday, has caused much comment in
many sections of the city, and has influ-
enced not a few housewives to decide to
ask their grocers for the wrapped pro-
duct exclusively The story, which was
prepared by Miss Georgia Robertson,
chairman of the wrapped bread commit
tee OF the Housekeeprs' Alliance, is be-
ing distributed this week among the
Fairgrounds and groceries of the city.
Only a limited supply Of the leaflets has
been printed, but because of the great
demand for this literature, 1t is likely
that additional copies will be secured.
Five of the citys largest bakeries are
now placing the wrapped article on the
market. II is expected that the re-
manning bakeries will be compelled to
follow their example IL public sentiment
continues 10 grow ana assert Uself IN
favor of the clearly method of delivering
bread.
The statement In The Washington
Herald on June that the jOurneyman
bakers have gained an increase in pay
on the ground that they would oppose
the law requiring that bread offered for
sale in the District be wrapped, is err
roneous. according to information given

cal or to any OF its members, The Herald
regrets any incorrectness in the state
ment which was made in good faith.

Congestion Of Bond Issues.

The credit of the United States i:
exceptionally good, mainly because the
bonded debt is less than billion dol
lars, three-quarters of which is being
used as the basis OF a bank currency,
the rest being in demand as the safest
of security for trust funds.
This has enabled the Treasury to
market long-term bonds for the Pan
anna Canal construction at the low rate
of 3 per cent. Such heavy unloadings
quite naturally have caused conges-
ton of bond issues and higher rates of
interest, as there is no demand to alb
sorb them. The relation of supply
and demand causes rates TO go up, and
many large bond issues TO fail of ready
distribution. Let US look into one of
its effects.
The New York Legislature has
passed and the Governor has signed a
law authorizing the issue of short
term notes at 5 per cent interest, to
be disposed of at not less than par, in
anticipation of financing long-term
State bonds at a lower rate. New
York has been unable to issue bonds
at less than the lawful 4 per cent limit
for purposes of canal and highway
construction and maintenance. At the
beginning of the present century the
Empire States practically was free from
debt Then came the plan for the
Erie Canal enlargement and terminals
for which SI2I of bonds was
authorized Since then SIoo,ooo.ooo ad
ditional was granted for highway con-
struction. The total debt for all these
will total only S22I ,ooo,-
900. and yet resort to short-term notes
was necessary to delay the necessity
for the long-term issues.
When one considers that New York
City alone owes one-fourtl more than
the national government-SI,2 25. 10000
while the annual charge for interest
and sinking fund (S55yooo.ooo) is more
than twice the present charge on the
national debt, and more than one
fourth of what annually is raised by
taxation. it will not be difficult to see
why long-term bond issues are so diff
cult to place at low rate of interest.
and why. in a number of cases, cities
md States had to Withdraw their offer
ngs owing to failure of adequate bids.
We live in the age of large govern
nent undertakings, more or less justi-
ied-such things as the Panama Canal
md the New York Barge Canal.
improved highways everywhere alb
orb vast amounts of money There
ire national ornaments, military and
laval maintenance, pensions, river and
larbor (and creek) improvements,
without any direct or immediate re-
urn. Private enterprise draws upon
hese sources at the same time.
Hence there is no mystery about the
train upon credit, the condition of the
Investment market and the high rates
necessary to raise money The absorp-
ion of capital for uses that are not
productive of new capital and do not
contribute to the production of COM
nodities has much to do with the high |
ost of living. and this, in turn, en-
lanceS the demand for a higher re-
urn upon investments.

Newsprint Paper.

There has been all acrimonious con-
troversy waged between the newspapers
of the United States and the producers
of newsprint paper over the tariff on
this product. The former demanded
that it be put on the free list; the lat.
ter claimed that they were entitled to
protection The Canadian reciprocity
act was at least in appearance a vic
tory for the newspapers. There was
a clause in that act which provided
that newsprint paper valued at not
above ? I-2 cents per pound should be
admitted free of duty from Canada,
and that it was to take effect whether
or not Canada accepted the offer of
reciprocity Since then the imports of
newsprint paper have increased rapidly
but curiously enough to some people
the price has not been reduced ma
terially until very recently. The clause
in the Canadian reciprocity act in
stead of benefting the American news
papers, as was intended, has given a
bounty to the Canadian producer equal
to the tariff on newsprint paper when
imported from other countries Cen
orally speaking. the price in the Amer
lean market has been fixed by the
newsprint paper imported from duty
paving countries.
Free importation of newsprint paper
from Canada has arrested the growth
of the industry in the United States
and encouraged its growth in Canada.
Free trade economists sometimes say
that if capital cannot be proftably en-
ployed in an industry in country in
competition with like industry abroad
it will go into some other line of pro-
duction. They seem to forget that the
capital may go to the foreign country.
This is what is happening in the news
print paper industry, 1t is probable
that the cost of converting wood pulp
into paper is no greater in the United
States than in Canada, but the Ca
madam supply of wood is larger and
cheaper, and when all the competitive
conditions are taken into consideration
the American manufacturer seems TO
be at a disadvantage. Without ma
terially benefting the American con-
sumner, free newsprint paper from Cam
ada has brought prosperity to the Ca
madam mills and attracted thousands or
dollars of American capital to the es-
of mills in the spruce for
ests OF Canada.
The Underwood bill now proposes
10 admit free of duty from all coun-
tries newsprint paper, valued at not
above , I-2 cents per pound. Very |
likely this provision, if enacted into |
aw, will reduce the price of paper. 1t
will not only leave the increasing Ca
madam production available, but it will |
open our ports to imports from Nor
way. Sweden, and other European

ART SALE BRINGS $s45,ooo.
Brisk bidding for Dutch Masters
at Paris Auction.

Paris, June 9.-The most sensational art
sale of the Paris year began today in the
Georges Petit Gallery, where the Dutch
masters, in the famous Baron Steengracht
collection. were put up for sale. Every
collector. every dealer and every art
critic of importance attended the auction.
The bidding was at times exciting. and
when Duveen and Wildenstein, the widely
known dealers, locked horns for fifteen
minutes in a struggle for possession of
the famous Rembrandt "Bathsheba," the
onlookers found vent in loud applause.
The total realized today by the sale of
the Dutch masters in the collection was
roughly estimated at $4,000, exclusive OF
the usual 10 per cent.
The highest price of the day was fetched
by the sale of "Bathsheba," which was
finally knocked down to Duveen for $780,
600. Later Duveen said he had bought
the picture for his own account, and had
paid about what was supposed to be the
proper price, though 1t was $4,000 more
than had been asked

MANY MERIT MEN AT ACADEMY.
Standing of Glasses in Recent Ex-

Annapolis, Nd, June 9.-As a result of
the recent examinations at the Naval
Academy, the merit standing of the three
classes now at the institution has been
determined. Edward Ellsberg still main

class of 1914.
The class has a membership of 159.
Eight have maintained star rating
that is, they received a certain per-
centage of the aggregate mark.
The roll of the third class is about 200.
and there are five star men, while out
of 30 in the third class five made the
