BETTING In Buenos Aires.

The Argenunians are born gamblers
and they wager almost incredible sums
on horsefiesh. The municipal Stats
tics Of Buenos Aires show that $2J,-
100000 In American gold was wagered
upon the races at the Hlppodrome In
one year. This Is an average of fifty
Argentine dollars for each man, wom-
an and child In that great city. Nat.
urally the reported figures do not in
clude all the money wagered on horse
racing, so that the true sum is no doubt
several millions IN excess of the re-
ported figures. There are none so old

the period when tide" was merely d

Saving Bread.

The program of food conservation as
mapped out by Mr.. Herbert Hoover
has found instant support with the
bakers Of this city who have an
noUnced their intention to eliminate
a good bit of waste through a
system Of no returns.
There can be no question as to the
saving this will make. for the return
evil is an old one with very few argu-
ments for its continuance and many
reasons for its adjustment There
is always a tendency toward care
lessness when no restrictions are
placed on the ordering of products
and the new movement, when given a
little thought, will work a hardship on
no one.
The housewife who is vitality con-
cerned with the buying of bread, can
by cooperating with the grocer or
baker. eliminate untold waste through
the simple expedient of studying her
wants and knowing just how much of
the article she will need and COVER
ing her orders accordingly.
It is particularly ftting that the
bakers of Washington should be the
frSt too Sc this method Of saving
without crippling, as the rest of the
country in matters of this kind is
prone to look to the National Capital
for an example. 1t is to be hoped
that the baker the middleman, and
the consumer. will work in harmony
along this particular line and thereby
comply with the wishes OF the ad-
ministration without affecting in

resumption Of specs payments in
1873. Into these new bonds were re-
funded what remained Of the issue of
the so-called ten-forty bonds. which
far as the rate was concerned for
government loans during the civil
war days. Secretary Sherman pur-
posed refunding these and other
bonds into per cent bonds. Many
bankers shook their heads doubtfully.
believing that no great market could
be obtained for these bonds unless
the government was willing to accept
from 20 to 25 per cent below par for
them.
These bankers were previously dis
appointed and very much chagrined
when the success of the loan was es-
tablished, the rate being par with a
allowed. They appreciated rapidly as
soon as they were issued, and bank
ers who had the courage TO sub
scribe for large amounts we're well
repaid for doing so.
Now the question is frequently ask
individuals. will the liberty Joan bonds
that bear BIZ per cent interest rise
much above par? The answer COM
monty given is this: These bonds will
appreciate considerably If the new
loan Is issued at I per cent and es-
pecially at 41-2 per cent. But there
Is not likely to be very large ap-
probation of the market value of the
bonds which represent the war loans
until the war ends. With the triumph
of the allies and the conclusion of

even though the aggregate amount of
them should be as much as so, 900. 900, =

bearing a higher rate OF interest will

INVOLVED In SUIT

Alonzo o. Bliss, millionaire property
owner and patent medicine manufac-
turer. yesterday was made defendant
in a suit for maintenance and set
aside an order conveying her dover
rights to him, by his wife, Eva Jack

lions, Harry X. Bliss and Deane Z.
Brown, are also made defendants.
The petition states that on June
10. 1914, the defendant filed a petition
in the Maryland Courts alleging that
the Plaintiff was of unsound mind,
and that in December of the same
year she, being of unsound mind,
signed over to her husband all her
dover rights in the estate Mr.. Bliss,
says the petition. has not contrib
uted to the support of his wife since
that time. Justice Hitz issued a ru!-

cause why they should not be re-
CURED to contribute to Mrs. Bliss
her share of the income from the es-
tate and why the decree of the Mary
land courts should not be vacated.

Stimulation by Shangulation.

This is not only not time to allow
any slowing up of business" said
President Wilson, in his letter to the
Merchants and Manufacturer Ex-
change Of New York, but it is a time
when every sensible process of stim-
ulation should be used"
This splendid sentiment goes to the
very root OF the requirements Of a
war waged for victory. Every sem
sible process OF stimulation should be
used" Stimulation Of what? stimu-
lation Of everything needed by this
nation and the other nations fighting
for the liberty Of the world. stimu-
lation OF food production, stimula-
ton OF woolen goods, Of cotton goods,
Of shoes, of clothing. of steel, of con-
per, OF ships, of rails, Of locomotives,
OF cars, Of motors, Of airplapes, Of
munitions. The reverse Of the Presi-
dents pronouncement is that every
foolish process Of strangulation should
be prohibited.
Now this brings Us face to face
with the latest Situation in which
Mr.. Denman, OF the Shipping Board,
and Maj. Gen. GoethaIs figure. The
President can take care Of this con-
troyersy, but there are a few gen.
