new YORK WOMAN
ADVISES AGAINST
BOYCOTT ON FOOD

Opposition to the establishment Of
boycotts on the part of housewives
against food products for which ex-
cessive prices are demanded. on the
ground that such action does not pro-
vide any permanent relief, was ex-
pressed yesterday by Mrs. Charles B.
Hirst, founder and president of the
Food Alliance Of New York City, an
organization which has done much
effective work In fighting the high
cost of living. Mrs. Hirst spoke be-
fore members Of the Richmond Do
mestic Science association at spe-
cial meeting held yesterday.
Mrs. Hirst urged that all American
women who are interested in the
modification of living costs unite in
support of bill now pending in con-
gress which limits the amount of food
stuffs which may be placed in cold
storage plants.
Mrs. Hirst also urged the members
of the Domestic Science association
to extend hearty cooperation to the
local weights and measures inspector
and the food inspector. These two
Offices are held by George Mckinley,
who attended the meeting.

BOND PREDICTS
LARGE DEFICIT
IN STREET FUND

City Attorney Bond informed the
board OF public works today that the
present system Of paying off street i'm
provement bonds would certainly re.
suit In creating deficit in the special
street Improvement fund.
While the present system is an i'm.
provement over the one operative dur
ing several former administrations, a
system which resulted in a deficiency
of $28,O00 before it was abolished, he
said there was still room for improve
ment
Advocates Separate Bonds.
Mr.. Bond advocated the issuance OF
separate bonds on each property
where the owner has waivered pub
lie improvement, and in the event of
the property holder failing to make
payments on his assessment regularly
SO as to reimburse the bondholder, as
his coupons came due, Mr.. Bond advo-
Gated the foreclosure of lien against
the property by the city for the bene-
fit of the bondnolder
The city attorney pointed out that
monies now collected for public i'm
provements are all placed in one fund
and payments on bonds are all made
indiscriminately out Of this fund.
Monies received for an improvement in
the south end are paid out to holders
Of bonds issued for waivered assess
ments on a west-end improvement, a
system which is so slipshod, the city
attorney declared, as to eventually re-
suit in a deficit in the special street
improvement fund.
At one time all monies collected on
improvement assessments were placed
in the general fund and expended for
general purposes. Naturally a large
deficit arose, deficit which the state
board of accounts eventually compel
ed the city to make good.

SANDWICH PRICES
ADVANCE 5 CENTS

Prices of egg and cheese sandwiches
advanced five cents in price in some
Richmond restaurants this week. This
is practically the only advance which
has been made, however. A promi-
nent restaurant man has announced
that he will not raise the prices of his
lunches or meals
When q canvass of restaurant man
ayers was taken today it was found
that since the price of foods has ad-
vanced by leaps and bounds their busi-
ness has increased materially. Many
families are taking several meals out
each week because they believe that It
is cheaper to buy them at a restaurant
than to prepare them. This is espec-
tally true of Sunday dinners.

After spending two days at his home

up business affairs, Raymond Daugh-
erty, former postmaster at Economy,
left for Indianapolis this morning
without guard to report to Federal
Judge Anderson that he was ready to
be sent to Atlanta, Ga, to begin his
two years term of imprisonment In
the federal prison there.
Judge Anderson, following his pro
nouncement of sentence on Daugherty
last Monday, informed the former
Economy postmaster that he would be
permitted to return to his home with
out guard or the giving Of bond pro-
viding he would promise to report to
the court Thursday, ready to begin his
term in the federal prison. Daugherty
readily gave the promise and left at
once for Economy. He spent the few
precious hours Of liberty permitted
him by the stern but merciful federal
Judge in the constant company Of his
wife and five young children, whom he
will not see again for two years.
Daugherty and his wife spent few
hours In Richmond looking after some
business affairs.

Military Experts Believe Last
Stand of Defenders Made
Merely to Delay Occupa-
ton.
CITY DESERTED
WHEN FOE ENTERS
Capture of Ploesci, Railway
Junction, May Have Block
ed Retreat from Buch-
Arrest.

The brief dispatches in which the
fall Of Bucharest was announced left
In doubt the fate Of the armies which
were resisting the advance Of the
Teutonic invaders.
It IL assumed in most entente
quarters, however, that there was no
''last stand" by the Roumanians before
their capitol and such news as has
trickled through from German sources
indicates that Bucharest was vitually
deserted when the Teutonic forces en-.
tered It. The city Is said to have been
found uninjured.
Delay German Advance.
Military commentators in entente
capitols point to the probability that
the action just prior to the capture of
Bucharest we're fought merely with a
view to delay the advance of the Ger
man forces and to aid in the escape
of the main body Of Roumanians.
The capture of Ploesci, the railway
junction, however, may have blocked
the retreat Of part Of the Roumanian
forces. This city, moreover, is In the
center of the great Prahova valley oil
district.
Waiiachia Abandoned.
German opinion Is expressed to the
effect that the Roumanians have de-
cided to abandon all Of Wallachia, the
main portion Of the Roumanian king
dom and to retire to Moldavio, their
northeastern province where their
front would be materially shortened
and where they would be In close
touch with the Russians.
The total captures Of Roumanians
by the forces OF the Central powers
since the beginning OF the war are
reported to have been 100000 men.

interested chiefly In the personnel Of
the new cabinet and the prospects Of
the new premier for getting together
a combination that will have the sup
port of the majority in the House Of
Commons.
Few, If any of the liberal members
of Mr.. Asquith's cabinet are likely to
accept office under Lloyd George and
some Of the Unionist members like j!

Cecil are likely to stand aside. How
ever. It is assumed that at the con-
ference at Buckingham Palace, they
assured the new premier OF their
benevolent neutrality thus making his
