i plan by which the British gov
- eminent hopes to be able to cope
With the food problem occasioned by
the war was outlined yesterday by
walter Runciman, president of the
board of trade, in o speech delivered
before the House of Commons.
Runciman's speech was made in the
course Of a general debateron the ques-
ton Of government control of certain
food products. This question has been
before Parliament for several weeks.
The president of the board of trade
indicated in the course of his remarks
that in his opinion the end of the war
is not in sight. He said that the pros
poets were that the conflict would last
for long time. "a
May Control Food Issues
The debate developed the fact that
the appointment Of food commission
Sr who shall have control of the essen
tial food products Is imminent. The
assertion was made by some members
of the house of commons that the food
situation has become acute on account
Of the high prices charged by some
dealers. ..s. g. -....
The government already has a com
mission that controls the wheat supply
and the possibility was suggested OF
the authority of this commission being
extended over other products. a,..-.
In continuing this statement Mr.
Runciman said that the shipping losses
suffered by Great Britain during tbs
war have amounted to more than 1925,
900 tons. If the ship yards of the ma
ton are worked TO capacity they arr
capable of producing two million tom
OF shipping yearly even under presen'
conditions, and that in the next si1
months they should build half mil
lion tons. '''- =

To Cut ont Profits

To Cut out Profits
II was announced in London on Oc-
tober 10 that royal commission had
been appointed authorized "to in
ouire into the supply of wheat and
-four in the United kingdom; to pur.
chase, sell, and control the delivery of
wheat and -four on behalf of his Males
ty,s Government; and generally to take
such steps as may seem desirable for
maintaining the supply
Mr.. Runciman announced in the
house Of commons on October 10, that
il would no longer be safe to leave the
British wheat supplies for next year IN
private hands,
He has bought the Australian supply
and got the ships to transport it.
These ships will be paid only fixed
rates.
No profiteering by middlemen--mill-
ers bakers, and the like-will be allow
Ell at home.
Probable effects of this step will be a
guaranteed price for, home grown wheat
end no rigging" Of the price of the
loaf. .,., -
Fair Prices For Bread.
titsMT Runeiman . statement means
says the London Daily Mail,' that the
government has determined to take over
complete control of the wheat and flour
trade IN Great Britain, The new royal
commission has already taken trafalgar
House, WaterloO-plaee, as their head
quarters and will begin work at once.
INDEED, 800 notices have already
been sent to corn traders, corn and
flour traders associations, millers, etc,
telling them what 10 do In respect of
stocks on hand and contracts for for.
ward delivery and instructing them how
to apply for positions as Government
agents, which is virtually what they
must become under the new scheme or
cease business.
HIn practise the wheat commission
will act similarly to the sugar commits
sion. importing all necessary stocks ac-
sumulsting a large reserve, and distri-
bnting wheat and hour through the trade
at fair prices, Thus they will be able
to publish fair prices for bread and
punish firms who create excessive
charges by Withholding supplies.
1.-THE commission will be able to
commander shipping for importing
4 wheat, and much shipping will be re,
quired to move the Australian crop,
which was recently estimated as being
worth f40O00,000.
y ga question that must be quickly
settled is the commission . attitude
towards the British farmer. Will they
guarantee him q minimum price foI
next years. cropf II so, experts say II
must now be fifty shillings a quarter
10 encourage the British farmer to
grow more wheat"

establishment of NJ. Nakao, and the
Aloha Hotel, of WHICH Higuchi is the
proprietor. -
When the alarm of fire was given
all the residents of the locality turned
out. The buildings were old and dry,
however, and, worst of all, the water
mains failed; and what little. water
was available was used to prevent The
spread of the flames across the street
and to the building next to the Hamano
store. Men with brooms and a bucket
brigade saved the Hamano store and
checked the. fire at that point. "
There was great excitement when
the Aloha Hotel went down, for the
fire was then at its hottest and II
seemed certain that the buildings
across the road would also be ignited
The bucket brigade proved, however
equal to the occasion. ~

FASCINATING MACHINE

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 In the whole range of mechanism there is nothing more captivating to locker on than a first-class printing press in op- eration in the rush hours in daily news paper office. It is, for one thing an un- usually large structure in extremely rapid motion, but its greatest charm is that IL receives at one end what may be called raw material and turns out at the other end a fully completed complex product that goes at once into the hands or the public for immediate use. Many ma chimes make sectional part, but the fin- ished article. at lightning speed, is the achievement of the printing press. It re- ceives the white paper from an immense roll and, carrying it from cylinder to cyl
 finder, inks the type plates, makes the lm- pression on both sides of the flying sheets, cuts pastes, folds and counts the papers. To do this at the rate of 40,00O an hour is certainly a wonder, and spectator admits the marvel every time he wit nesses the sight. The whole process Is in evidence, though it takes time to compre- bend every part of it. It is an exhibi- ton of swift motion at it's mightiest, with all the whirling contrivances timed with the precision of a chronometer watch, for no part could be suffered to be the thousandth part of a second too soon in action or too late.
 In former newspaper days, say 60 years ago. the type itself, in flat forms, was placed horizontally in the small steam presses, which printed them, on one side, at the rate of 1900 or 15oO an hour. The next advance was to put the type in form with convex surface and to set this rotating. Then came the stereotyping. which makes a cast from the type, rem derfng it needless to place any movable type on the press. The stereotyped plates opened the way to the use of smaller cyl finders and more of them. The continuous roll of white paper meant printing the sheet on both sides, saving of half the time in that respect. Another gain was the cutting pasting and folding as part of a single operation in printing. The cheap dailies of today. with a circulation in the hundred thousands could not SUD- ply the demand without these remark able ingenuities in machinery. But for them the small coin would be far less nimble in having at ready command all the news of the world.
 The presses in motion are but one in- tensely interesting feature in the Globe Democrats film exposition of how a great daily newspaper is made

TROPHIES AND MEMORIES

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
 The New York aution sale of stage effects used by MT. Sothern and Miss Marlowe during their long careers was rather mournful event. Lovers of good acting. who deplore the loss to the American stage of these two play CTS, watched the disposal of Hamlet g. cloak, "Portias" robe, "Rosalind's s. pink tights and 'Macbeth's" jeweled sword with considerable emotion. Real admirers of the two actors were shocked that the tights brought but s1 and "Ham1ets" robe but ST. But after all in this public disposal of famous trophies, money counted less than sen timent.
 It is reported that one young woman, who had been a member of the Sothern- Marlowe organization for a number of years, declared that she could witness the sacrilege no longer, whereupon she left the auction in tears. There was an element of stage emotionalism in this, of course. But none the less the Ameri- can people share in the feelings which prompted it.
 We must look now to new genera tion to produce adequate successors of the two distinguished opponents of the classics who are leaving us. The times are not propitious. Appreciation of Shakespeare has reached a low ebb. Yet surely among the hundreds of flaming young souls who crowd the mimic world, there must be at least a few capable of bearing the torch.

maturity of intellect did not snuff out the zest of life He became "my boy" to Washington very early in his service; worked willingly at headquarters day in and day out, with sober application equal to Washington's own, yet con- trived to snatch from such never ending drudgery youths dear and heeting joys.
 He brought gayety even to Washing tons mess table, courted Black-eyed Elizabeth Schuyler under the muzzles of British guns, and in the years of their married life together managed with all his prodigious labors to bend social graces as well as the solid qualities of his mind to enriching their days and nights.

A Few Seats Left

Already much has been written about the engagement of the great symphony orchestra of S5 men, which is to be heard at the BiJou theatre next Wednesday, matinee and evening, but a familiarity with the artists appearing with them will add to the pleasure of hearing the pro- gramme," said Mrs. Richard F. John ston.
 Thousands of children in the various schools feel that they have almost a speaking acquaintance with the princi- pals since making so complete a study of both programme and artists-hence the house for the children's matinee was soon sold out, and hundreds turned away for lack of seating space AL though a great many seats have been sold for the evening, there are still 8 number of available ones on sale at the Cable-S Shelby Burton Piano company's.
 Here is an excerpt from the Mime apolis Tribune about Madam Chilson- Oberman, who is the soloist for the Wednesday night engagement: Mime. Ohrman is an unusually charming singer, with one of those buoyant, tri- umphant voices, the kind of voice that seems to be entirely at the pleasure of the singer free, agile and without a trace of hollowness or muscularity. Her programmed numbers were Polonaise, from Thomas 'Mignon.' and the prayer from Tosca,' both given to the eminent satisfaction of the audience. As an en- core to the second number she did, very brilliantly, the waltz song from Romeo and Juliet

| | The vanity of the 17-year-old boy who bragged to the police that he Is an ex- pert housebreaker is ministered to by an officer who speaks of him as "the nerviest kid ever saw"
 The tears of the nerviest kid" at sight | of members of his family in the police | court were more creditable to his manli- l ness and to this mental equipment than his fatuous idea that he is a second Rallies.
 A burglar who is so proud of his achievements that he is in hot haste to lead the detectives to his store of loot | and who is delighted to tell how easy 1t is to rob residences, is not an expert He is, upon the contrary, foolish amateur The real burglar does not puff his chest up like pouter pigeon to let out windy announcements of his special abilities
 The "nerviest kid" betrays callowness unexpected even in a lad of r. He seems less clever than the crow which steals scrap tin and hangs 1t in it's nest be- cause it shines in the sun, for no penalty attaches to stealing the tin.
 A boy who is rather too old to profit by sound spanking and not sufficiently mature mentally to understand that he is not either a hero or a practical burglar presents a problem to those who would set the feet of erring brothers on the right path. An actual Rallies, old or young, rarely is picturesque An anna teur Rallies who brags of his brilliancy when caught by the police and weeps when confronted by his family is an ex- ample of the smart aleck youngster who has not had enough hard knocks from the world for his own benefit.

IMAGINATION OF PERCIVAL

see them such canals would necessarily be some scores of times wider than the Panama rift. Other and greater astron- omers could not find them, but Sir Per- cival did, always avidly seizing on the fanciful. A few years ago he made a map of the Martian canals which he con siders official. It is nothing to him that these markings cannot be seen through far more powerful lenses than ne pos sesses. Schiapperelli proclaimed, and the imagination of Sir Perclval did the rest.
 So long as a writer or discoverer is playing with mundane affairs, such fool ish things as facts are not imperative. When the eye and the mind pierce to the celestial universe imagination may be unbridled and unctuous, though most astronomers, except Sir Percival, prefer the infallible revelations of the spectro- scope. Probably MT. Lowell may next discover that the various nations of the Martians are, engaged in terrible world war, just to be in the fashion, and that the merry god after whom Mars IS named is sitting aloft gleefully observing his servitors in the trenches along the canals.
