York With Several Stopovers.


New York.-Dacy Bambrick, fourteen
years old, two weeks ago "newsie"
in Houston, Tex, arrived in New York
recently on the morning freight from
Washington, having travelled more than
5000 miles, with stopovers at New Or
leans, Atlanta and Washington, for an
expenditure of so cents. He applied to
Patrolman Spacek to help him. Now
he is remanded by Justice HOyt to the
Children's society until his grand
parents, with whom he lived at Hous-
ton, can be communicated with.
He left Houston, he said, with II
cents in his pockets, of which Fl cents
remain Part of the time he rode
inside of the cars and part Of the time
on brake beams. He lived on water and
bread He has now decided that stay
ing at home is far more enjoyable than
running away.

SOARING FLOUR THE CAUSE
Bakers In New York and Other Large
Cities Face Necessity of Increasing
Price of Each Loaf-Size of Loaf May
Also Be Reduced-Effects Felt In All
Sections.

New York.-1nquiry among number
of the leading baking companies OF the
city recently indicated that fur
Their rise in the price Of the ordinary
loaf of white and rye bread was
inevitable. The fact that -four had
risen from $3.50 barrel to from $3.50
to $3.50 since Aug. l was given as the
cause, and. it was said, the price Of
rolls and most of the other bakery
products would also be raised in pro-
portion, rolls that formerly sold for
10 cents a dozen selling for II cents.
Reports received from other large
cities of the country indicated that the
increased cost Of bread would be nation
wide, though in a number of cities the
bakers anticipated no rise in the price
Of loaves, but expected to meet the
increased cost of -four by reducing the
size and weight Of the loaves.
Speculation in grain as the result of
the inflated values created by the de-
mand for grain in Europe was given
by many of the baking people inter
viewed as the reason for the rise in
prices. Mrs. Julian Heath, president
of the Housewives league, was also of
the opinion that speculation was to
blame and said that the only way to
prevent the proposed increase or to
bring the price back to normal at an
early date would be for the govern
