Dancing Has Deteriorated.

Dancing in its earliest form among
primitive races, was n mode of ex-
preston for strong emotions, such as
joy or sorrow, love and passion, and
even for the most solemn religious
sentiment, bat in later ages it has be-
come an amusement and has lost it's
high significance.

BESTOWED PRAISE ON WOMEN
Distinguished Frenehmsn Referred In
Complimentary Terms to Their
Work in Military Bureaus.

Some days before leaving the
French ministry of war General
Roques gave out a circular on the
employment of women in the mill
tary bureaus. This has created much
comment in France, but up to this
time has received no notice in Amer
lean papers, even in those that are
favorably inclined to the recognition
of women in many employments
and also favor their right of suf-
frage.
J The general says: "At divers times
] have called to your attention the in
terest that is attached to the replace
ing by women in all employments
where it is possible, military men eli
Their in the armed or auxiliary serv-
ice. In spite of the inexperience OF
the debutantes, their complete igno-
rance of military terminology con-
stituting the chief obstacles to their
employment in the bureaus, the re-
suits, after some few months of trial,
are fully satisfactory. The good will
of these women is everywhere, or
nearly everywhere, praised. Their
application to the work, the fear Of
meeting reproaches, their desire to
make good, all these are qualities
that one did not meet in the same
degree among many of the military
men whom they have replaced. In
conclusion, the trial has succeeded
beyond the predictions of the most
optimistic"

NEW MATERIAL FOR ROOFING
Process Evolved by Which Waste
Bark Can Be Made to Take Place
Of Expensive Stock.

The forest products laboratory ex-
perts, in their efforts to reduce the
amount of waste in the lumber in
dustry, have long declared that they
have been able to utilize everything
but the bark, just as the pork packer
is said to market everything but the
squeal Of the hog, according to
American Forestry.
Now they have even found a way
to use the bark. BY a new process
waste bark can be used to partially
replace expensive rag stock in the
manufacture of felt roofing, and is
already being used commercially by
mills cooperating with the labora-
tory experts. The bark thus used is
that remaining after the extraction
of the tannin for leather work, and
the same waste bark has been used
SUCCESSFULLY for the making of a
commercial wall paper. Expert
ments now in progress indicate that
the hemlock bark may be used for
sheathing paper, carpet lining, bottle
wrappers and deadening felt.

ARTIFICIAL MILK.

A process has been discovered in
England for the manufacture of arti-
fetal milk for human consumption.
1t is claimed that a wholesale and
inexpensive substitute can be made
from peanuts, soy beans, sugar, wa
ter and the mineral salts found in
milk. The milk so produced, it is
stated, may be condensed and sold
in tins in the usual way or dried to
a powder and sold in bottles. 1t may
be given a certain percentage of
cream by the addition of coconut or
one of the. other tasteless nut fats.
The residual meals, rejected after
the special factbrs required have
been taken from them, are mixed,
dried until they contain only 10 per
cent Of water, and used as food for
cattle. -v
As a curiosity, the "milk" thus
produced would be interesting.
Though it is questionable whether it
would prove an acceptable substi-
tute.

PROFITEERING in FOOD
CONDEMNED BY PEPPER
Public Safety Committee Chair
man Talks of High Prices
Prevailing
HEINZ STUDYING PROBLEM
Passage and Enforcement of U. S.
Control Act Is Urged to
Aid Situation
HEINZ STUDYING PROBLEM

George Wharton Pepper, chairman Of the
Committee Of Public Safety of Pennsyl-
vania. declared in an interview today that
In spite Of the largely increased food sup
plies and the lower prices now prevailing
to the farmers, the cost of bread, potatoes
and other garden and orchard produce is
extremely high.
There are only two causes TO deduct from
this situation, continued Mr.. Pepper.
Either our present system OF retail dis
tribution is grossly extravagant and inef-
ficient. or else prices are being manipulated
and upheld by artificial means"
Mr.. Pepper said that in Pennsylvania this
matter is being studied by Howard Heinz,
director of the Department of Food Supply,
who is In close touch with the Pennsylvania
State authorities Mr.. Pepper would make
no statement regarding Heinzs field.
He knows the situation far better than
do" he said.
Reforms and changes in methods of short
ening the route between the producer and
consumer and improvements in methods by
retailers and middlemen are talked of, but
Mr. Pepper feels that It is very evident, not
withstanding the largely increased produc-
tion from farm and garden, that we are In
for another fall and winter Of exorbitantly
high prices of foodstuffs, unless the food
control act, now before Congress, is prompt
ly passed and made operative.
"The production of foodstuffs has largely
increased, and there Is beginning to be a
marked decrease In food wastes" con-
cluded Mr.. Pepper. Now we have a right
to look for fall in prices

a raid on candy booths and newsstands

on the Parkway. When Lerner was told
that the permit was no good he moved to
l07 North Fifteenth street.
William Rudley, who had newsstand

moved his business establishment to Six.

RAILROADS ORDERED
TO CUT RATES ON MILK
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Reduces Short-Haul
Freight Charges
WILL NOT AFFECT PRICES
Leading Dairyman Here Says Dealers
Can't Make Any Profit Under
Present Conditions
WILL NOT AFFECT PRICES

After an exhaustive inquiry lasting nearly
q year the Interstate Commerce Commission
today ordered the railroads to reduce the
freight rate on milk in a radius of 200 miles
of Philadelphia, New York, Jersey City, At
lantic City Hoboken and several other At
lantic coast points and TO increase propor-
tionately the rate in the zone over 200
miles
Philadelphia milk dealers said this change
in rates would have no effect on the price
Of milk to the consumer here They said
fully half, If not more than half. of the
milk used In Philadelphia comes from the
zone beyond the 200-mile limit. This would
mean, they said, that the lesser rate on
that half coming from within the 200-mile
zone would be counterbalanced by the
higher freight rates to get milk from be-
yond the 200-mile zone.
C. r. Lndback, president of Abbott's
Alderney Diaries, today said the condition
of the milk business was growing worse
rapidly He said no one in the milk busl-
ness here was making a profit, even at the
present price, To support this statement,
he pointed out that milk cans now cost
the dealers SO each, where they could be
bought for about $2.25 each year or so
ago; there has been big fallng-off in the
production of milk near the city, thus in
creasing the freight cost; bottles cost
nearly so per cent more than a year ago
more than year ago; feed for more than
200 head of horses is 100 per cent higher
wages in the firms central plant have
jumped $4,000 a year more than they were
| about q year ago coal used for sterlizing
and refrigeration has increased, and there
has been decrease of twenty to forty
quarts day on every route.
Mr.. Lindback said the situation is ac-
tually becoming serious. He says some
thing must be done to get the farmers
| interested in producing more milk instead
| of stopping to enter other lines Of produc-
ton, such as trucking, which has become
big-paying enterprise in this locality.
He said he presumed the decision of the
| commission was based on testimony which
it started taking about a year ago. AT that
! time Philadelphia was visited by members
| and witnesses were called. These witnesses
were milk men of every degre, both from
| large and small firms. Since then, he said
1t was his understanding testimony has beer
taken from dealers and producers else.
