.SAYS CAPITAL NEEDS
CIVIC Spirit BADLY
Commissioner Brownlow Thinks Sue
cess of Municipal Ownership De-
pends on Pubic's Attitude.

" For the success of any community
effort there must be community spirit
and in Washington we need it very. very
badly"
With these words Commissioner Brown
low closed his talk on Municipal Own
ership'' at the Home Club Of the Interior
Department last night.
The success Of the municipality owned
public utilities of Glasgow. Scotland, was
attributed by Mr.. Bruwnlow TO the sup
port received from the citizens. Glasgow
frequently is pointed out a. the city
where municipal ownership has been
carried to the highest perfection.
Although they told me in Scotland
that We could not succeed with munic-
ipal ownership in America" said Mr..
BrOwnlOw. 'I believe We can when the
American people get the right idea of
their relation to the gOvGrnment-na-
tionaI or muniCipaI-when We learn to re-
pay the government for the benefits We
receive from ii: when We get away from
the idea of using the government as a
soft snap and accusing everybody con-
nected with it of having soft snap
When we alter our attitude toward the
government We can have municipality
owned public utilities.
He told of the street railways of Glas-
gov, where fares are l cent and the
government is bound to reduce even that
fare when the earnings of the company
exceed a certain amount. This low rate,
Mr. Brownlow said. has practically
abolished the downtown lunchroom by
making II possible for 4 man to have
home cooking for a negligible amount in
car fare.
He suggested that We already have
been supporting municipality owned
schools freely; while in Glasgow the
schools are run by private corporations
But II the District owned the street
railways" he said, land there was a
deficit of 81 the first year. the plan
would be branded a failure"

Special TO The Washington Herald.
New York. Feb. 9.-With the advent Of
6-cent bread. New York chemists are
working today in an attempt to provide
a method whereby a new scent loaf of
bread can be made. On every hand it is
admitted that with flour selling at so
high a price, bakers have no alternative
but to Increase the price ! cent. No one
charges a conspiracy among the bakers,
though the assertion has been made that
spectators have caused the present high
price of wheat.
But the hope OF the State department
OF foods and markets is that some COM
binatiO1 Of wheat -four and another grain
can be devised that will give to the loaf
its old size. its old nutriment, value, and
the scent price. Just how far this mat
ter has gone. no one at the local office
of the department of foods and markets
would say. declaring that full state
ment will be made later.
Try to Get New Food.
The department is working also on a
list Of the most nutritious and al the
Same time low w-priccd foods, so that Mrs.
Housewife may keep down the price Of
running her house and also give good
fuel to the family stomach. From its
investigat tiOns the department experts
have found that Mrs. Housewife is eX-
travagant In many ways. She buys foods
that add little to the requirements of
the body and contain little protein. Guam
tity rather than food quality is the rule
in many cases.
Among the smaller bakers today there
was n feeling of satisfaction that the
big bread makers had decided to boost
the price OF the loaf to six cents. AC-
Cording to the announcements made. be-
ginning tomorrow morning a cent more
will be asked by the larger bakers for
