WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-Every
possibie unit Of federal machinery
today was set in motion TO meet ana
deal with the continued advance In
the price of bread throughout the
country. Through the federal trade
commission. and the department OF
Justice, the national government
will begin at once a countrywide
survey OF bread prices to determine
whether the cause Of the continued
increase is legitimate and to re-
move it il it is not
A flood of complaints and petit
tions setting forth the advance in
bread prices, is swapping various
Government departments. Many OF
them set forth only threatened IN
creases in prices as a ground Tor
complaint. but the trade commission
and the department of justice have
instructed all OF their agents TO
advise washington just as soon as
any real advance is made: Incl
dentalv the agents Will also keep
their eye on milk prices which have
been the basis for further com
plants.
Embargo Suggested.
Many of the complaints suggested
an embargo on the export of wheat
and flour as the solution of the
bread price increase. Several enor-
NOUS petitions from bakers organ
izations have been directed to the
trade commission. declaring that
unless an embargo is imposed on
their raw materials. they will be
forced 10 send bread prices up to
40 cents "A loaf. The cry Of feed
America first" however. is making
but little impression on the admin
istratiOn.
ReaIizing that an embargo on
wheat and flour would result In the
widest fluctuations in prices OF these
commodities. federal officials are
opposed 10 action which would
hamper the farmer who is holding
his wheat crop. The farmer would
he the principal loser by am en-
hargo under present conditions and
there is little likelihood of action
that radically would affect his sell
ing price.

Why Women Can outtaIk Men.
From the New York Sun.

FROM the rev i DIX sun.
A woman can talk longe than a man
because she uses less force in speak
ing than the man does. A German pro-
fessor has proved by actual and very
delicate measurements that the bari
one singer uses far more energ than
the tenor that the bass singer uses
more force than either.
The range of voices differs greatly.
so the percentage varies to the same
extent, but as a general result it was
proved that the tenor uses only from
one-seventh to one-siXteenth of the
lung power of the baritone OF bass. The
difference between the force used by
the contralto and the soprano is also
marked and the c%ontralto IN sings in
very deep tones uses at least 10 times
the force of the thrilling soprano.
The explanation is so simple that 1T
is surprising that the Investigation was
| not made long ago. 1t has long been
| known that the tenor or soprano brings
the vocal cords close together and keep
| the edges only vibrating by the ennis
sion of air. The bass and contralto
leaves the space the cords
wider open and has to vibrate very
| much more of the membranes, so that
a considerably larger amount of air IS
| required and much more force is ex-
pended.
Persons with high. squeaky voices
often seem TO be very loquacious. and
the reason is now plain-they can talk
| with far less effort than those who take
q deeper tone and have to use more air
TO utter their words.
Here lies the real explanation OF the
case with which a woman an uttalk
q man. She has the advantage OF using
from o~ne-seventh to one-sixteenth less
lung power, and even though her lungs
may be smaller, the difference is never
so great as that between the amount OF
air required.

Man, the Posses.or.

w. l.. George, in the Atlantic.
Men dc not, as a rule. suffer very
much from the desire to possess, be-
cause they are so SUR that they do

cult to conceive that their wife can find
any other man attractive. They are too.
we'll accustomed to being courted. even
if they are old and repulsive. ecaus
they have power and money; only they
think it is because they are men. Be-
yond a jealous care Tor their wives
fidelity, which ! suspect arises mainly
from the feeling that an unfaithful wife
is a criticism, they do not ask very
much. But women suffer more deeply
becaus they know that man has Law
ished on them for centuries a conde-
scending admiration, that the king who
lays his crown at their feet knows that
his is the crown to give. While men
possess by right of possession women
possess only by right OF precarious con-
| quest. They feel it very bitterly. this
fugitive empire. and their greatest
! tragedy is to find themselves growing
a little older, uncertain Of their power.

A Square Deal For The Horse.

From the Cleveland PAIN Dealer.
One of the best recommendations at
this season for the owner or driver of a
horse is the ease with which the animal
keeps its feet on the pavements. The
period Of slippery streets is upon US, a
period of more real suffering and injury
to horses than any other of the "
months.
Self interest. if no other motive,
should be sufficient to i,npsl everyone
responsible for the handling OF horses
used in street traffic to see that the ami
NAL is sharply shot and kept in that
condition all winter. For no n can
get the full alu in service from a
horse which must struggle for it's foot
ing at every step.
But motives higher than selfishness
should be sufficient to protect horses
from the danger and discomfort of a V
ing to travel slippery streets in worn
u shoes. This is an age Of humane
cndcavor in many directions. Charity
that begins at home should not over
look the patient steed hitched to car
riage or dray.
Give your horses shoes that will en-
able them to keep their feet. Load more
lightly than usra. in slippery weather.
Give your animals 4 square deal -.
