WORK FOR ADVISORY BOARDS

For eleven years man named stokes haunted the war office of En- gland with a design for a gun.
 He failed to secure even an inter view.
 When the war broke out the minds o1 Englands army men were opened. They gave Stokes hearing; and then Il test for his gun. It proved Just the thing for trench warfare. He was paid well for his design, and given an office in which to perfect Improvements upon it. The gun itself is doing good service n the trenches in Flanders.
 How many Stokes. do you suppose. have been trying to get a hearing from acny men and navy men in this coun- irN? It is with reference to just such cases tnat the navy board of invention and development ought to do some of Its best work.

THE COST OF A LOAF OF BREAD
CDallas News.)

The Wall Street Journal has been trying to find out what a loaf of bread is worth. In New York it costs-a loaf of twelve ounces-6 cents, and the Journal was moved to it's inquiry by the suspicion that there was large element of human greed in this price So it betook itself to figures the most authentic it could get It learned that a barrel of flour, weighing 196 pounds, will make about 330 twelve ounce loayes, which at cents a loaf would yield $16.50. Another inquiry brought forth the information that the high est price for the best flour to be ob- tained in New York is $S25, so that the bread to be made out of a barrel of flour yields even at cents loaf an amount twice tho cost of the flour But, of course, only a small part of the flour used Is of the highest grade, and it estimatedd that the average price paid for flour is between S6 and $7 a barrel. The Journal concluded that. at the utmost stretch, there is not more than 21-2 cents worth of flour in a twelve-ounce loaf, and it ventured to say that at cents a loai there is ample margin of profit for both the makers and dealers in bread

TRYING TO FORCE US ONT
Wall Street Journal.)

(Wall Street Journal.)
 IL Is of extreme interest to hear of the report that has been brought to New York bankers from Turkey by an American who conversed with the German officers who are directing the Constantinople. The American had stated to the German officer that the United States would under all condi- lions keep it's finger out of the pie
 "Ah," replied the high German off, cer, but we do not intend that you shall stay out We shall force you into it. No matter who wins this war, we will all be economically exhausted both victor and vanquished If America can keep out, she will when peace Is de- clared have the worlds trade in the palm of her hand. and all the nations of Europe will be too exhausted to compete against her. That is the req son America must come in and will be forced in. We do not fear her as an opponent It makes little difference to us now whether there are fifty or a hundred more war vessels opposed to us, and 1t is quite impossible that America can get at us with her army, or at least an army of such size as 10 be an important factor.
 But 1t is important to us that Amer lea must undergo an industrial and economic paralysis such as would be brought about by her entrance into the war She cannot equip an army or ravy soon enough to do Germany any great amount of harm, but when peace is declared, all the nations of the world must start again after the worlds competitive commerce on an equal foot ing. and we do not propose that Amer lea shall have ten years start of the rest of us. We will force her in."
 It might possibly be the idle vapor- ing of conceited German general, but the American took the trouble to check up. He found that other German of ticers held the same view Was the Gulflight incident intention or acci- dentali Do all the reasons for the Lusitania's sinking appear on the sur face?

Il seems altogether probable that what the Baldwin Locomotive W orl15 an do i'll world wide competition cramps shipyard can do il il fines ii necessary. They use the same mate lials ana the same classes of mechau- ics. A few days ago Andrew Cafpegle wrote of having exported ship plales ,o Belfast when he was in the stee. yuslness, he believed that ships coulo ne built here as cheaply as in Europe, ana his former partner, Charles ochwab, is hunting for foreign ship ~ulidIng orders.

CITIES AND DEBT.
(New York World.)


 The net debt of American municipal ities was more than double between 1902 and 1913, and nearly quadrupled between 1890 and 191. Their total debt per capita was $14,79 in 1890. S2o.74 in 1902 and S35,81 in 1913.
 It is evident from these figures that the problem is chiefly municipal prob ed States is chiefly municipal prob- lem.
 That the aggregate debt of cities should increase greatly in the past quarter centeury was. to be expected It has been a time of enormous in crease in urban population. In 1890 lit tie more than third of the people oi the United States were living in cities or towns of 2.500 population or more Now practically one-half the people are found there. and the urban tend ency is still strongly operative.
 But if city debt must have increased along with increase In city population why should 1t have increased so mucl more than population, as tho per capits
