"The old man" or the 'guv'nor'' is
the boss Of the house, when he isn't
at home.
The only trouble with the "old
man" these days, according to his
finishing school, daughters and his
roadster weekend sons is that he's
so old fashioned he's almost a nui-
sance.
When they've got callers, in he
comes, pipe in his mug, in shirt
sleeves, no collar, a newspaper and
in his stocking feet, and says ''huIlop'
and shakes hands the old fashioned
way. o..
He drinks coffee out of the saucer
and does a lot of other awful things.
Really, y'mow, George, these pa
pahs ought to be shot so as to ac-
commodate their SONS and daughters.
But Luke, where does Myrtle go
when she wants a set of white fox
furs? And when Harold wants 10
gallons Of gas or an extra tire, who
shakes up the gelt?
Oh! well, that's different.

KEWP|E" WELL
MEET BURNS
Despite Protests, the Bantam
Champion Will Meet Texan
Next Tuesday.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 12.-"Kewpie'
Ertile, bantamweight champion Of the
world will be allowed to go through
with his bout with Bobby Burns Of
Dallas. Texas, next Tuesday evening
despite the attempt of the Minneapolis
Boxing club officials to prevent him
from appearing in Minnesota until
he had met Roy Moore in Minneapolis
The state boxing commissioners
met today in st. Paul and, after hear
ing all the evidence offered by both
Matchmaker Howe of the Minneapolis
club and Mike McNulty, Ertel's man
ager, they decided to allow Ertle tC
meet Burns in st. Paul next Tuesday
For time it looked as if the plans
Of the Capital City Athletic club would
be shattered but President Dow took
the bit in his teeth and declared that
he would fight the case to finish
McNulty's contention was that he had
not accepted date with the Mill City
club and he could no see why he
should be barred from the states I'M
less a date was set.
Now that the commission has de-
cided this important question the fans
look forward to one of the classiest
boxing shows yet staged in the state.
Ertle has just returned from on eight
months trip through the East, where
he met and defeated a dozen boys
who aspired to championship honors.
He has improved wonderfully since
he left St. Paul and the bout with
Burns, who is regarded as one of the
most lively contenders for the title,
should be a hummer.
Three other excellent bouts are
scheduled for the same show. Solly
Burns and Jimmie Hanlon, two tough
lightweights, will do the pummeling
in the semi-windup and the two have
promised plenty Of action.
In the eight round preliminary two
clever. speedy little colored boys,
Johnny Walton of st. Paul and AL.
Phillips of Hot Springs, Ark, will ex-
change punches. These two are re-
puted to be the best in the middle
west and another bout similar to the
Hopkins Williams match of March |,
is expected. The curtain raiser will
bring together Kid Herbert of Still
water and Tommy Connolly Of Mime
apois and the two have guaranteed a
hot set-to.
The prices for this big attraction
have been set at 81, 81 and IS, and out
OF town fans will be taken care of
by mail orders. Letters addressed to
the Capital City A. c., sos Metropoli-
tan Building vii be given prompt at
tenton.

CHEAP BREAD AT BARRACKS.
Col. williams Compares Government
and Commercial Prices.

Editor The Washington Herald: Your
bread will cost you cents a loaf tomor-
row. am told by my grocer. l bought
a leaf of Vienna" at 5 cents. 1t weighed
exactly twelve ounces on letter" scales
The government price OF flour at Wash
ington Barracks Is four and forty-six
one hundredths 40 cents a pound, MAX
ing cost per barrel eight dollars and
seventy-four and sixteen -hundredths
cents ($S.7416).
On this basis bread was sold, and were
the bakery in operation would now be sold
at two and ninety-eight one-hundredths
cents (2.99 per loaf Of sixteen G6) ounces
And the bakery was self-sustsining.
Should flour reach $500 a barrel, an
increase of 81 27-1o0 per cent. this same
one pound loaf will be sold at correspond
ing increase, or at 4 9-lOo cents, or twelve
ounces of bread for 5 cents.
With the foregoing facts to work on,
let the public determine whether or not
a twelve ounce loaf of break from any
bakery should justly be sold at cents
It is not fair that the consumer should
suffer through both diminution in weight
and increase in price per loaf. If it be
demonstrated that a comparison of condi-
tions of production Justify cents for a
l2-ounce loaf, the housewife had better
busy herself and make her own bread.
