PLAYING CARDS LONG IN USE
Their Origin Lost in obscurity-Have
Been Put to a Great Variety
of Uses.

The origin Of playing cards is lost
In %obscurity. They are generally as
signed to the Orient, but they are
now almost universal in currency and
popularity. The backs Of old English
cards were generally plain, and thus
it was that when paper was scarce or
expensive, old cards were too useful
to be destroyed. They were, cn the
contrary, used for various purposes.
Thus they are often found in the
bindings of old books, where they
were preserved. The old cards were
also sometimes cut up for paper dolls.
They were also used as cards of in
vitation and as visiting cards. Thack-
cray refers to this in Henry
Esmond.''
The earliest examples of wood cuts
were intended for playing cards. They
antedate the famous st. Christopher
wood cut that is sometimes credited
with being the earliest.
In the elden days playing cards, in
stead of knitting, were used by spec
tators in playhouses as an amusement
while waiting for the performance to
begin.
Such widely differing materials as
silver, leather, paper, wood, parch-
ment, cardboard, deerskin and eve
buffalo hide have all been used in
making playing cards.

Subway Plot Rumor, but Day
Ends with Little Violence.

Rumors Of plot to blow up the sub
way at 125th Street and Lenox Avenue,
which kept the police guarding the un-
derground railway vigilant all day long,
and a few scattered acts Of violence
were the only suggestions of disorder
marking yesterdays progress Of the
car mems strike.
One Eighty-sixth Street crosstown
car was stoned, a fight between loyal
employees of the Interborough and
strikers occurred on the platform OF
the West Farms subway station; some
one fired at a train drawing into the
Fiftieth Street station Of the Ninth
Avenue elevated, and some one else
threw a smoke bomb on the tracks at
the same place later in the day.
The shooting took place early in the
morning. As a south bound Ninth Ave
nue. train drew into the Fiftieth Street
station, a revolver was fred four times
from the roof Of n tenement overlook
ing the tracks. None Of the shots hit
the train, as far as could be deter
mined. but there was much confusion
of passengers and guards swarmed on
the train TO get out of the line OF the
fire as rapidly as possible.

mendS Abandonment

Chicago. Sept. Accommodations
to all bakers Of the United States that
the fve-cent loaf of bread be aban-
doned and the 10-cent loaf standardized
were made after discussion at the clos
ing session of the executive committee
Of the National Association of Master
Bakers to-day.
They urged that the recommenda-
tions be put into effect Immediately.
Economic waste incident to the manu-
facture Of the Gve-cent loaf was en-
phasized as a reason for its discontinu-
ance. Saving in manufacture, improve
ment in quality and Standardization are
urged in favor of the 1O-cent loaf
II is also recommended that where
local conditions make it necessary the
smaller loaf NAV be maintained, with
a price consisten. with the cost Of
manufacture.
The bakers cited the following per-
centages of increase III cost of in
gradients in the manufacture of bread
within the last two years: Patent -four,
100 per cent; rye, 124 per cent; sugar,
66 per cent; shortening, 60 per cent;
milk, 40 per cent; salt, II per cent;
wrapping paper, 70 per cent.
Delivery costs also have increased, it
was stated, through an advance Of 100
per cent in gasolene and 20 per cent
in feed for horses.
The bakers went on record strongly
against Iny attempt 70 lower the quail
ity of bread.
The conference here was an out
growth OF the bakers national conven-
tion at Salt Lake City several months
ago. at which informal resolutions 70

the price of bread has been advanced,
or the scent loaf abandoned, in sew
eral cities
At one time there were threats OF a
government investigation Of concert
ed movement TO increase the price.
Bakers attending the conference here
said they had no fear of such action
now.
S. +. Mcdonald, Of Memphis, presi-
dent Of the association. said he believed
most of the bakers of the country
would adopt the plan suggested to-day.

volver still in one hand.
On the floor behind Mancino was the
body of his wife, Rose, seventeen years
old. with a bullet hole in her temple.
Adamo covered the barber with his
revolver and ordered:
Drop that gum"
A second later Mancino's revolver
clattered TO the floor and mis- body
followed it. for with quick motion
he shot himself through the head. The
deputy sheriff sent for the police, and
then tried to quiet Michael, nineteen
months old. whose father and mother
had lust been taken from him.
