ment to place an embargo on all but
the surplus wheat in the country at
present.
Mrs. Heath said that the House
wives league had realized for some
time that increased price of bread was
inevitable and had been sending notice
to its members to make no effort to
combat the rise in price, as the bakers
were not considered responsible. but
to do all in their power to have the
embargo placed on wheat.
"The average housewife would do
well to learn more of the use Of corn
meal" Mrs. Heath went on. "The
price of cornmea! has not gone up to
any appreciable extent as yet, and,
even though it did go up, 1t would re-
main Il cheap and very nutritious food
and could be made to take the place of
part at least of the weekly bread
supply needed by family"
Hugo Fredericks, president Of the
Wholesale Bakers association, said
that great many of the small New
York bakeries would go to the wall if
the price of bread was not raised.
Il have been losing money steadily
for three months" he said. $50 has
every baker in the city who has to de-
pend On the sale of bread and rolls
alone. Those who make pastries have
been able to patch finances up bit by
making sharp advances in the price of
pies, cakes and other delicacies. We
won't be making any profit with the
price at G cents a loaf, even, and will
be lucky If we break even. When the
price does go up, moreover, there Will
be little chance of its getting back to
normal for long while, for if the war
were to stop tomorrow it would be
nearly two years before Europe would
be producing grain on large scale
again and the wheat exports of this
country would fall back to normal"

Largest
Pump In The World Started
By The President

New Orleans, La, Feb. 13-Gushing
100000 gallons of marsh water a
minute when President Wilson today
touched the button in Washington
five huge pumps, the largest in the
world, began the task of draining
10000 acres of land here. new rec
ord is being established in reclama-
tion. For it will take only three days
to accomplish this huge task, say the
engineers, and the cost will be $234,-
600. 1t took Holland seventy-five
years to drain 10000 acres, and cost
the Dutch $3,200000 to do the work
The reclaimed land is partly in New
Orleans, and is said to be fully as
fertile as the famous Valley of the
Nile. OF practically no vaue hereto
fore, the reclaimed land will be worth
$4,000 an acre. And with the lower
ing of the waters, the mosquito pest
will be exterminated at one swoop.
The gigantic undertaking is backed
by the state of Louisiana, and is part
of an extensive scheme of systematic
reclamation of alluvial lands, which,
put under way only few years ago,
will eventually bring into use 10000
acres of land now idle and waiting for
its ages of accumulated richness to
be put into service for the benefit of
mankind.
Some years ago, George A. Hero,
wealthy citizen of this city, conceiv-
ed the idea, and placed his name and
reputation against the task. Laughed
at as a dreamer, derided by skeptics
as a rainbow-chaser, he persisted in
the face of difficulties, until today the
task is being accomplished. The
eight million valuation of the reclaim
ed district has sprung to 120 millions,
and extensive plans for occupation
and tilling of the land are already
made.

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--Effeots Felt In All
Sections.
New York.-Inquiry among a number
of the leading baking companies Of the
city recently indicated that fur
ther rise in the price Of the ordinary
loaf of white and rye bread was
inevitable. The fact that flour had
risen from $3.50 barrel to from $3.50
to $3.50 since Aug. 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 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 flour 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

DUMAS COMEDY PLAYED
AT THEATRE FRANCAIS
Also Sketch Depicting Ennobling
Influence of War.

Sitting in the cosy little Theatre
Francois, in Forty-fourth Street, and
watching the admirably smooth per-
Torrance of La Princesse Georges"
being given there this week, il Is diff
cult to realize that this excellently
built Dumas comedy was first seen in
Paris as far back as 1871. Yet one
does not have 70 be so very old to re-
member the Juror created by Desclee
in the principal role, and If Mile. An
dree Merry last night revived memories
among a few in her audience of a great
triumph and suggested gratifying com
parsons she certainly deserved them.
Her performance was marked by sin
cerity all too rare among French play
ers, and in the scene in which the
princess, with an almost masculine
chivalry, defends her princely spouse
against the suspicious of a justiiably
jealous husband. she rose 10 the full
dramatic requirements OF the situa-
ton.
Raymond Faure admirably suggested
the poise and retenue Of the French arts
tocrat. and Paul Cerny was the French
notary to the life. Georges kenavent,
who has made large strides in his art
within the last year, revealed uneX-
pected comedy talents as a typical stage
valet.
The play was followed by one-act
sketch called "Sur Ia Guerre," one OF
the most recent Paris successes. II
depicts the ennobling influence upon a
Paris gangster-a parasite OF the IN
derworld-of fighting for ones coun-
try. The inability Of the woman 70
understand the miracle OF regeneration
is cleyerly portrayed by Nile. Irene
Bordoni. and the touch Of mystic Ter
vor necessary 10 make the part OF the
man convincing was duly supplied BY
NJ. Edgar Becmann.

FLONZALEYS PLAY
STRAWINSKY MUSIC
Three Pieces for Quartet Prove
To Be an Amusing Mu-
steal Joke.

IL is not often that an audience OF
staid lovers Of chamber music have q
concert conyulsed with laughter; yet
this is precisely what occurred last
night at the Flonzaleys. rs be fair.
the laugh was really on the audience
itself, which had gone expecting 20
hear the latest futuristic revelation,
and had remained 10 hear three very
short but very realistic jokes Igor
Strawinsky, high priest Of modern
music, was laughing in both sleeves!
The "Three Pieces for Quarrel" as the
programme denomnated the Strawn-
sky numbers. came last on the pro
gramme-after Haydn's delightful
Quartet in minor, op. 10, No. ;.
which itself had acted as a classic
purge to the intermina5le Cesar Franck
Quartet in ID major. Both had been
beautifully played by the quartet, with
admirable balance OF tone and eT-
quisite articulation Of detail. So II
was that when these two numbers were
over n rustic Of expectancy ran ovar
the audience, rustic which became
only more pronounced when Daniel
Gregory Mason stepped upon the stage
and said he wished 70 make few ex-
planatory remarks on behalf Of the
quartet in regard 10 the Strawinsky
pieces"
He explained that the first Of them
would last less than a minute and
would express the singing Of peasants
on the Russian steppes; the second, the
chanting Of a priest In a cathedral: the
third, rt-broken Pierrot who must
jucgle despite his sorrow. Then Mr..
Mason retired and the Flonzaleys took
his place.
The first piece" took exactly fifty-fvo
seconds TO play, and very realistically
and amusingly portrayed the music
that may be heard at any time in any
Eastern bazaar. The audience, tickled
out OF its calm by this most unexpected
revelation, applauded so vigorously that
the quartet was forced to repeat it,.
The second "piece" was less interest
ing. but the last, a combination Of
whining and juggling that would have
delighted the heart Of Richard Strauss.
got the audience into commissions Of
laughter.
When the "Three Pieces" were fin
ished the music Of the future was still
far in the distance, and the audience.
as large a one as Aeolian Hall could
hold. must have had very strong sus-
picion that il had been hoaxed-but as
it was a very amusing hoax and one
which lasted for only eight minutes,
the audience seemed rather delighted.
IL il true that Mr. Strawinsky's music
did not seem 70 be very important, but
it certainly did prove that Mr.. Strawin-
sky has a sense Of humor. Al all
events, the young Russian composer
seems determined to be no long-winded
and solemn bore. What he has TO say
he says in the fewest possible bars,
even If what he has TO say in Three
Pieces for Quartet" Is of no particular
Importance.
