PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENT

The existing unprecedented higL
prices of pri It paper AMI all o'H"
material used in tre printing and pub
fishing business has brought the
publishers of this country face to face
with a most critical situation and one
which makes it imperative for them to
raise their rates for advertising and
subscriptions.
Not only have the prices for print
paper advanced approximately two
hundred percent but the point has now
been reached where it is exceedingly
difficult to secure print paper except
in the smallest quantities. This is due
to the fact that the war has cut us OF
from our sources of raw materials, i'll
Guiding wood pulp. Sulphites and
chemicals.
In view of these facts the publisher
Of The Chronicle is compelled to an
nounce new rate card becoming effe-
ctive January first. We nave reIfallleu
from making these changes hoping that
conditions would change for the better
but as there is no probable relief in
sight, in fact conditions are becoming
worse from day to day. we are COM
PEELED to change our rates at this time.
i'm doing so we have made the new rate
Just as low as possible and allow us
a small profit and we trust that our
advertisers will accept this increase OF
prices with the same good grace they
have the increase cost Of practically
every other commodity.
The new rates are as follows:
Yearly contracts, 10 cents an inch.
Six month contracts, 20 cents an inch
Three month contracts. % cents an
inch.
Intermittent advertising, 81 an inch
for one incertion, so cents an inch
for subseqent insertions.

THIS BRICKLAYER
RELIEVED BY DREC0
MIR. Charles Benner, Of 320S
Philadelphia Avenue, Balti-
more, Nd, Tells His Own
Experience in His
Own Words.

Yes. bricklaying is some test for a
mans back and general condition, and
IL there are any troubles this work is
sure to bring them out.
Il suffered so with dragging pains. In
my back and burning sensation that 1t
was almost impossible for me to get
through a single days work right. Every
doctor 1 went to filled me up with
medicine of every sort, but not a single
one OF them did me bit OF good-either
medicine or doctors-and 1 was as bad
or as when l went to the first one.
Actually l was worse off-because they
charged me money enough, even If they
didn't do me any good.
I've taken two bottles Of Dreco-that's
sll-and now I'm singing another kind
OF song. I never have a pain in my
back-the burning sensation Is gone for
good. I'm sure-and I can stand up to
a full day Of my kind Of work with the
rest of them-and that's surely making
some headway, you can believe me.
IF I'd known about Dreco about six
months earlier I could have saved all the
money I've spent for doctors. and I don't
know how many hours OF suffering and
time lost on the job, when ! had to quit
and go home, because the pains were too
severe for me to stay at work another
minute"
Dreco is composed of the Juices from
roots and herbs OF known value in the
treatment Of liver and kidney troubles,
Stomach disorders, constipation and ca
tarrh- One bottle often brings prompt
relief and a continued use gives perma-
nent results Dreco is sold by all O'Don-
nell Drug Stores, Burys in Anacostia
Aliens in Alexsndria.-Adv.

CROWDS RESPOND
NATIONAL AIR
Santelmann's Reminder to
Concert Audiences Gets
En- Up Now.

The person who refuses to stand
when the star Spangled Banner Is
played is mighty lonesome these days
according to Lieut. William H SsnteI-
mann, leader Of the Marine Band.
Recently a request has been made
und.r the programs of public con-
carts that heads be uncovered and the
audience remain standing during the
rendition OF the National Anthem.
Lieut.. Santelmann originated this idea
after having watched for years the
unpatriotic manner in which the in
spring song was received.
The request has worked wonders in
the past few Weeks. At park and bar
racks concerts the audience. with very
few exceptions, remove their hats and
remain standing. In the future per-
sons who do not adhere to the request
will be conspicuous.
In an interview yesterday Lieut.
Santlemann said that he was gratffied
with the manner in which the people
had responded to his request, and that
he felt certain that in the near fu-
ture no person would be found ignor-
ing the patriotic duty which the Ma
tional Anthem inspired.
Children should be taught the sig
nifcance of the Star Spangled Ban
ner' at the schools" said Lieut. San
telmann. TT should be sung stand
ing each morning IN every SLaS9F Oolh
in the country before studies are be-
gun. In this way the spirit OF pa
triotIsm will be instilled in them and
they will realize just what this in
spring song stands for.
The young people Of Washington,
and I have no doubt II is the same in
other places, seem to have little re-
gard for the National Anthem. They
need more blood. This idea of mine
is just little toward leading to their
proper education"
The stand taken by Lieut. Santel-
mann has received the highest COM
mendation. not only from Washing
tonians. but from every part Of the
country. Hundreds of letters have
been received by the bandmaster.
pledging support to him in his fight
to have the anthem respected at pub
lie concerts.

GROUNDS CLOSE?
NO! MORE Open
Mrs. Rhodes Says Children
Are Safer from Paralysis
Outdoors Than In.

The Fairgrounds of the Phillips school
and the Polk-Henry schools are expect
ed to be opened in a few days. Mrs.
Susie Root Rhodes, superintendent OF
Fairgrounds. will ask Superintendent
Thurston this morning for permission
to open these Fairgrounds under the d.
reCtion OF volunteer playground work
ers. Mrs. Rhodes said she has been
assured that the request will be grant
ed. The school board at its last meet
ing left the matter to the superintend-
ent, who has signified a willingness to
comply.
The Polk-Henry playground is one
of the largest in the city Its To-
Gated at Sixth and P streets. northwest.
The Phillips school is in one of the city's
thickly populated colored sections.
Mrs. Rhodes announces that as soon
as these schools are opened she will
secure more volunteers and request that
others be opened. In this way she hopes
to have a large number of the city's
sixty well-equipped Fairgrounds opened
that are now lying idle. There are but
eleven municipal Fairgrounds open now
which means that the large majority
Of Washington's children are forced into
the street to play, according to Mrs
Rhodes
At the conference this morning Mrs.
Rhodes will also ask Superintendent
Thurston that the keys to the basement
of the Mott School be turned over to the
director of the Howard municipal play
grounds that the children may have ac-
cess to the building. This Arrangement.
she said. was found to prevail through
out New England. When It rains the
children adjourn to the buildings.
There is very little danger of the play
grounds of the city being closed because
Of infantile paralysis or other children's
diseases, according to Mrs. Rhodes. In
New York" she said, the Fairgrounds
that were closed at the time of the first
infantile paralysis scare, have been re-
opened. The authorities decided that
there was less danger in the open air
than with the children in the house"
Mrs. Rhodes was enthusiastic in her
praise of the Fairgrounds that have been
opened in the Wardman Courts. She
says she regrets that she has not the
time to interview other owners of apart
ments in an effort to get them to omen
Fairgrounds for the children of their
tenants
The Wardman playground was the first
of its kind opened in the. city and is prov
ing a great success. 1t is equipped with
all the simple playing devices that make
glad the hearts of the children, and is
located inside the courts. where the moth
ers need not worry about the children.

.FIVE-CENT LOAF
NOT in DANGER
Washington Bakers Deny Or
ganization to Eliminate
Small Bread Size.

There is no intention among the bak-
ers of the country to raise the price OF
bread"
This is the answer which several bak-
ers of Washington have given to queries
pertaining to a current rumor that bak-
ers everywhere are organizing to raise
the price Of bread loaves by eliminating
the five-cent loaf from the market al
together and selling only the ten-cent
loaf
This, say the local bakers and con-
fectioners. would be highly favorable.
But the opinion generally entertained by
people that this course would mean high
er prices. is erroneous, they say. 1t
merely means to put a stop to the sale
of the loaf now selling for five cents
and giving the present large ten-cent
loaf full sway of the bread market.
The agitation In other parts of the
country to eliminate the small fve-cent
loaves and in its place sell only ten
cent loaves. has not affected Washing
ton bakers at all. On the contrary. every
Washington baker approached on the sub
ject simply says that II his customers
want five-cent loaves they will always
be able to get them.
Local bakers. however, admit that the
ten-cent loaves are more popular than
the five-cent ones. The nickel bread
loaves are very small, and most Gus
toners always purchase the bigger loaf
But to satisfy the few who every day
buy the five-cent bread loaf. the bakers
say they are quite willing to humor
this small demand
The agitation for the elimination Of the
nve-cent loaves from the market be-
came nationally important when the bak-
ers from every State in the Union held
their annual convention in Salt Lake
City, Utah, last week. 1t was there
urged to do away with the small loaf
and in its stead sell only the big loaf
But this idea. although popular among
the bakers, has met with considera BILE
opposition among the laymen of the va
rious cities. However many OF the big
ger cities OF the country have already
adopted the suggestions of the recent
convention and are now selling only the
large ten-cent loaf.
