TO MAKE LoAvgs SMALLER.
Davenport Bakers Plan to Combat High
Price Of Flour.

Davenport. Jan. 13.-According to a
statement made by a Davenport baker
today it is probable that the size of
the loaves OF bread in Davenport viii
be reduced or the price of the present
size loaf increased a few cents. Tho
Davenport bakers declare that the ac-
ton will be forced on them If the price
Of wheat does not come down soon.
Many of the bakers have the forms
in which the present sized loaves arc
baked and are not in favor of reduc-
ing the size. On this account 1t has
been suggested that the present sized
loaf he increased several cents in
price How large the increase will be
has not yet been determined. It is
claimed that the bakers are losing
money by selling the bread for five
cents the loaf with wheat at the pres
ent price. Many OF the bakers are
waiting to see what the market will
do before any positive action will he
taken. 1t Is not probable that the price
will go up for week at least.

Weather Clearing Today.

Philadelphia, Jan. 13.-Reports to-
day from the storm-swept sections of
Pennsylvania and New jersey show
that considerable minor damage was
done by high wind. while in many
places the heavy rains caused rivers
and creeks to overflow. The weather
today was clearing and the high water
was rapidly receding.
The Schylkill river IN many places
was out Of its banks and causing con-
siderable damake. Textile mills along
the Schuylkill in this city were closed
because of water in their easements. In
the northern parts of Pennsylvania
railroad traffic was impeded by deep
snow. Exposed places at Atlantic City
were again damaged by high water and
the severe gale. The music hall on
the ocean end of the steel pier which
was weakened during the storm last
month. was further4 damaged today by
high seas crashing against it.
The derailment Of the Washington
New York express at Perryville, Nd,
last night, resulting in the death of the
engineer and injuring the fireman.
was due to the locomotive hitting the
roof of box car which had been
ripped OF by the wind ten minutes
before the passenger train came along.

SERBS PROTEST SPELLING.

Object to General Custom Of Using
"Servian" and "Ssrvia."
London, Jan. 13-servlan legation in
London has addressed letter to the
press and public urging the adoption Of
the spelling Serbian" and Serbia
instead Of "Servian" and "Servia." The
latter spelling. says the legation
spokesman, is highly offensive to the
people. mainly because it suggests a
false derivation from the Latin root
meaning to serve 1t is source Of
hidden pain to Serbians to see that
some Journals persist in using the cor
rupt FORMS"
The same letter suggests wider pub
lication and performance Of the ma
tional hymn In national and public

ish and the allies. yet alas. not that Of
Serbia, which is really a beautiful piece
