Bread Cheap in Australia.

~ - LSouCis
The figures On the price of bread in
Australia are not needed to establish
that the food price jugglery that has
furnished a national sensation here for
some time Is plain gouging. but they
are interesting just the same. Figures
have been produced in and
out to show that the cost of bread to
consumers is less in England, Belgium.
Switzerland n other countries of
Europe where the bread is made from
American wheat.
In Australia the result is reached by
going the other way around-Austral-
ian bread Is made from Australian
wheat and flour.
In Sydney, one of the largest cities.
h government has made the follow.
ing regulation in the price of bread:
Bread purchased at shops or bake
houses. 1-pound loaf 2 pence "a cents):
2-pound load 3h pence q centsl: de.
livered, IN n 4 pence Respectively"
The S-hour day is universal in Aus
tralian and wages are higher tina in
America, yet Australians ge their
bread FOR about half what it costs
Americans. According to the rules of
the economic game 1t oughI to be the
other way, but it doesn't happen to be
SO. Another fact not commonly spread
abroad is h la in Australia the govern
ment Q over the wheat supply and.
after giving the people bread at half
the cost to Americans, has a good sized

Pick a position for your return, and
if your opponent is far to one side
of the court send the ball to the 9th
er side line or across court.
Should she start to cross the court
simultaneously with her delivery, send
a shot in the opposite direction from
her. Try a cross court ball or lob
over her head if she rushes to the
net on her service.
Guard against those plays that will
lead you into a position where it will
be difficult to return a cross court
shot. You will find that quick re-
turning will do much to switch your
game from the defensive to the often
sive.
The most important aid to the quick
return is to catch the ball as it rises
Never take your eye off it. If your
opponent makes a slow service and
follows through you are in position
to pass her with a strong, well di-
rected return.

SUFFERING FROM
MOSQUITO BITES

William Abt, one of the boarding
officers from the Pensacola custom
house was suffering from the effects
of mosquito bites so much tnat yester-
day he found it very difficult to re-
main on duty for the day. The pests,
it appears, attacked Mr.. Abt while
the latter started to enjoy a fishing
trip of couple of days on leave of
absence. He went across the bay, but
terminated an otherwise lengthy stay
when nothing bit but catfish and
sharks, with an uncounted myriad
of mosquitoes.
Application Of liniment, peroxide,
followed by a plentiful addition OF
iodine, have been Intellectual, as yet
to draw the pain from Mr.. Abt's
ankles, and last night he decided to
call in a physician, and expects to
spend the next several days in his
home.
