Your Fifty-Cef1t Dollar!
JUST SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO 1T, YOU FOLK
WHO HAVE TO EAT!

The housewives dollar has shrunk
to so cents!
So says the United States Bureau of
Labor Statistics in an analysis of the
power Of dollar covering
the years from 1890 to date.
In 1890. for instance, the thrifty
housewife could get 1-1O pounds of
round steak for her dollar, or one
pound for II cents. By the end OF
1915. however. her dollar would buy
less than II pounds Of round steak,
which had gone up to more than
% cents a pound.
II is the same with sirloin, rib
roast, pork chops. smoked bacon
ham, lard, chickens. eggs, butter
milk, flour, cornmeal and Irish pota-
toes. Some have not advanced SO
sharply in price, but all show de-
cided increase.
Back in 1890 dollar would buy
9.3 pounds OF pork chops; by the
end of 1915, the same dollar
would buy only 81 pounds. In
1890 5 pounds OF smoked bacon
tOuiN Nt Hbu ANA ~ uNtAuA ~ A"Ahf
the dollar would secure only 3.6
pounds.
This period of 26 years does ava,
with unusual Fluctuations in MAXIM
comparisons and enables the bureal
to estimate the steady rise in fool
prices which has taken place.
One of the most remarkable o
these in the increase in the price o
eggs. In 1890 the average retail pric
per dozen of eggs was a little NOR
than 20 cents. Thus as dozen egg
could be bought for a dollar. In 19l
the average price had advanced NOR
than 33 cents. or three dozen for on
dollar. In December. 1915, eggs sol
at as cents.

government to prepare plan for de-
velopment of the city's water front
That a conservative plan for the de-
velopment of Rock Creek Park be pre-
pared at an early. day. to which It
should conform in all stages OF Its de-
velopment.
The report Calls attention to work
which has already been done toward
the completion OF Washington's park
plans.
Calling attention to the vote of Con-
gress at its session just closed to APP
propriate $4,000 for the acquisition OF
land between the Potomac and Zoologf-
cal parks. the report says this may
well be regarded as an event OF the
highest Importance, since. it removes
every doubt as to the determination
of Congress to see this great work car
ried forward to completion. Its effect
will soon be seen in the disappearance
of the hideous mounds of dump that
have marred the natural beauties of
Rock Creek valley during the last ten
years; and what is, if possible, more
important, it has opened the way to a
happy solution of difficult and vexa-
tious contention which has divided the
councils of Washington and George
town ever since the founding of this
city"

There Is No Jewish Vote.

To the Editor of The Star:
For sixty years 1 have been in direct
opposition to any suggestion that
would favor the so-called idea OF
Jewish, Irish, German or negro vote.
I have refused time and again to
speak before any Jewish audience, as
didates, either local or national. 1t
goes without saying that as an Ameri-
can citizen, irrespective of nationality
or faith I am entitled to my opinion
and convictions, and SO is every other
American from that standpoint solely.
We owe no thanks to any one in power
for appointing one of our faith to any
position of trust and responsibility:
The sole question as to the right of
being appointed consists in the fitness
and ability of the candidate. Any
other course would be prejudicial to all
the equities and to all the best ira
ditions of our government.
l find that from the days of Lincoln
up to the present Presidents have ap-
pointed American citizens of Jewish
faith to important positions by virtue OF
the principle above enunciated. Members
of the cabinet, ambassadors, ministers,
judges and other offices of II ust have
thus been conferred, and no credit Is
due to the one that appoints or to the
one receiving the appointment, save
ana except tnat the appointing power,
conscious of the responsibility vested
in him, recognizes all classes of Ameri-
can citizens as worthy of confidence.
and that the recipient recognizes party
affiliations and not sectarian motives.
While it is true that republican Presi-
dents have appointed democratic judges
and to other responsible positions, it
is yet a contamination in the future
when "a democrat has reconiZed the
same liberal spirit.
I have been asked to speak on the
political hastings in various places of
the country. and notably to my core
ligionists, and have steadily declined,
for 1 would be recreant to all that is
best in American institutions if l were
to prostitute my name and the good
will l enjoy by trying to corral those
of my faith because one or the other
President may have been sufficiently in
telligent to recognize the merits Of one or
more of my coreligionists If 1 were to
speak, l would say: Il am here as an
American citizen, voicing my own politi-
cal convictions, which are republican, and
expect each and every one of you to
vote according to your own convictions
as American citizens, and prove to the
world that while we are Jews in faith
we are American citizens in every other
direction, and, being such, we exercise
the God-given right of voting as all
other of our fellow citizens are ex-
pected to do" Any other course would
destroy the fundamental principles Of
our government and the Jew, as well
as any other nationality or religious
corporation, would be used as a buffer
and hold-up to secure faVors from one
or the other of the political parties

Then, just by way of giving additional
weight that these features are not merely
mental visions, but rather are realities of
the future, he showed the committee a
copy of the original map made by L En-

ness. L'Enfant's map was shown to be
accurate, despite the fact it was drawn
when Washington was non-existent, and
Col. Harris pointed out that if such a
plan were possible for L'Enfant to con-

the National Capital should be practically
