Citizen Figures Loaf of Bead Here
Now Costs So Cents.

To tho Editor OF THE TIMES.
In connection with the increase in
the price OF bread, l wish to call at
tcntion to the following facts
Within the last rev months the
weight OF the loaf supplied by the large
bakeries Of Washington ives reduced
to eleven ounces. rs determined by
daily weighing of the loaves as dcliv-
cred to grocers In the city. At cents
per loaf, this was equiSalet to an in
crease OF the price to IA cents for the
standard one-pound loaf.
1t appears that the increase to cents
per loaf Is to be made upon this eleven
ounce loaf. and the price will then be
equivalent to 81. cents sO0S72) for the
onc-pound loaf that was the standard
here a year, or SO back.
In other cities where the law rcgu-
lates the weight of bread loaves IL APP
pears that 1t was possible for bakeries
to produce IL pound loaf for 5 cents at
a profit at a time when the bakers
here were permitted to quietly reduce
the size of the loaf, and few of our
people knew what was being taken
away from them.
II IL just as necessary for the pro-
duction and sale of this necessity 10
be- under public regulation as for the
matters controlled by the Public Ser
vice Commission TO lac so regulated.
note that one baker states that the
consumer Is only paying - per cent
increase for bread, while the bakers
are paying 20 per cent While this baker
does not state the period during which
his increase of costs occurred, IL he
Is regarding the time since n pound
loaf was served II VIII be seen that
the consumer Is paying the full in
crease.
But. II he is figuring the increase
during the war in Europe, 1t appears
that there has been an increase to ;he
consumer Of about 90 per cent in round
figures, and II is probable that IL The
costs estimated by him are submitted
to the critical analysis OF an expert II
will he found that the increase In
production costs does not figure quite
as high az alleged.

cnIcAdo-NEw YORK FLIGHT

A batch of postcards addressed
to places in Germany, was among
the mail handed to an aviator this
morning, just before he rose to
make a flight from Chicago to New
York. The cards, if the schedule is
not broken by untoward circum-
stance, will reach New York this
afternoon or early evening, and will
be forwarded to Germany on the
submarine merchantmen Deutsch-
land A thousand miles in the air,
three thousand under water, and
Jules Verne only dead a very few
yearsl Is there another to succeed
him, with imagination capable of
guessing into two decades of the
future?
The Carlstrom fight started under
most favorable auspices. The ma
chine is a Curtiss biplane, believed
capable of the 1,O00-mile fight at an
average of 100 miles an hour. This
is not now remarkably fast flight;
J20 miles is done by many of the
machines that are used in the war.
1t is no longer seriously doubted
that the time is near when the At
lantic will be measured by flying
machine.

THIS TOWN AND ITS BRIDGES

A few years ago the Connecticut
avenue bridge was pointed out as
n monumental example of Congress
sional extravaganza. Today it is the
towns finest example of combined
beauty and utility in public works.
Nobody would dream of changing it
in the direction of economy, and al
most everybody knows that if it had
been built more cheaply it would
not have been more economical. 1t
is there to stay, and to stay with a
minimum of expense for upkeep.
Now the Board of Trade has taken
up a determined effort to get an
equally creditable structure at CAL
vert street. The effort not only
ought to succeed, but it ought to be
made phase in program for
systematic development of bridges
as adornments as well as highway
Incidents:
The. Potomac is at last to be
bridged in a way that will be cred
table to the city and to the natural
possibilities of the beautiful Poto-
mac. There has been good begin
ming toward the employment. of
graceful, permanent and spacious
bridges for decorative as well as
utilitarian purposes; but much more
is yet to be done. There should
never be another bridge in Washing
ton of temporary or cheap charac-
ter. European cities derive one of
their chief beauties from the treat
ment of their streams; American
cities too commonly permit their
river fronts and bridges to become
oyesores instead of adornments.

AUSTRALIANS CONSUMPTION
VOTE

At least, the ladies are not to be
blamed for defeating conscription in
Australia. In the'nation-wide refer
cndum on the subject, the total votes
canvassed thus far shows $4,000 for
and $4,000 against CONSUMPTION.
There are about 100000 more votes
to be canvassed, and these include
those in the army, among whom it
is stated the majority will be over
whelming in favor of CONSUMPTION.
1t is supposed, on the best available
information, that Australia now has
about 175,000 men under arms or in
training in her armies. Thus it is
quite possible that if the entire force
is yet to be canvassed, it might ac-
tually turn the tide in favor of COM
pulsory service.
Explanation that the farmers,
rather than the women, cast the
really decisive majority against con-
scription, is decidedly interesting.
The women gave, indeed, a small
majority in the negative. But their
opposition was much less decisive
than that of the farmers. 1t is ex-
planned that the farmers feared u
ruinous loss of the force of agri-
cultural labor if CONSUMPTION pre-
vailed. The women seem to have
demonstrated, as the Jews, the Irish,
the Germans, the organized labor
membership, and the rest of the
"class" votes in this country have
80 often proved, that they are not
to be set down as "class" vote at
all, and accounted as deliverable in
a mass. Australian women, like
Australian men, voted as individ'
uals, to suit their individual opin'
ions. There was no distinctive WON
an vote on cipher side; just as in oul
suffrage States there will be no such
preponderance, in the coming cleo
ton, as to warrant assuming thai
women are moved by other consid
erations, or in other ways, than men
Australian farmers face peculi
arly, difficult labor situation. Though
it is a new and very sparsely popu
lated country, Australia has
greater proportion of urban popula
tion than almost any other country

Women of This Country Opposed to
Consumption Because They Are
Opposed to War, Asserts Anna

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Without doubt the women Of this
country are opposed to CONSUMPTION be-
cause they are opposed to war.
Any sort of appeal to the sentiment
of women as mass will bring this
out. In spite OF the fact that few
movement has been shaping itself very
rapidly I'm this country, and the
European war has helped 1t along.
Mothers who have brought sons into
the world and cared for them with in
tinNe pains through years of youth,
have found out-not by reading history,
but by an actual, horrible spectacle
what II Is like when n man-made war
Is forced upon a people, and boys are
flung like flies into n furnace by thous-
ands OF miIlions--to satisfy the pas
sions OF a few men who have become
obsessed of one hideous idea
1 say here that such a thing Is Inn
possible In this country. The woman's
movement has gone too far. Whether
she has vote or not, the American
woman is borns to a larger freedom
than the European, and her education
what we call HIGHER education-is along
different lines. She knows more history,
and biology and political economy, and
sociology than her English or Conti-
music and the fine accomplishments.
So She knows more about ancient wars
than British or German women, the
causes and the outcome of them, If a
war should threaten here the pacitists
