Complaints Are Made
Against Bakers Prices

1t appears the bread buying pub
lie is not benefitting by the recent
rule promulgated by the wholesale
bakers disseminating the practice of
permitting the return by retailers
Of unsold bread.
This is the conclusion to be drawn
from the result OF a recent inves-
tigation by the Washington Health
Department to ascertain the differ
ence in price before and after the
adoption of the wholesalers' new
rule.
The loaf prices have remained
stationary, but the weights of the
various loaves have changed, and
only in the case OF the scent and
Decent loaves are they changed in
the consumers favor. Weights of
loaves May "a, last. compared with
weights July 10 of the instant
month, are as follows: The 6-cent
loaf formerly weighed s.4S ounces
and on the later date weighed 1886
ounces; the 10-cent loaf was of l7,1O
ounces and recently was advanced
to 1873 ounces. The Scent loaf de-
preciated from 1870 ounces to 14.1O
and the 15-cent loaf from "a ounces
to 21.75 ounces.

Your son, as you know, had only
been In my squadron for a short time,
but quite long enough for me to
realise what a very efficient and gal
liant officer he was, and what a
tremendous loss he is to me. He had
absolutely the heart of a lion, and
was a very good pilot. Your son
has been up on every raid OF late,
and has always managed to get in
contact with the enemy machines.
The last raid, which unfortunately
resulted in his death, shows what a
very gallant officer we have lost. Al
most single-handed he flew straight
into the middle OF the twenty-five
machines, and both himself and his
observer at once opened fire. All the
enemy machines opened fire also, so
he was horribly outnumbered.
The volume of fire which he was
subjected was too awful for words.
To give you a rough idea, there were
twenty-five machines; each machine

Steamboat Loving Stopped
By Cruel Searchight Glare

Amorously inclined young people who
have in former years found moon
light excursions down the Potomac a
refuge for cooling. md their love-mak-
ing seriously interfered with since
the war was declared, by the constant
play Of big army searchlights and
the vigilant watch of army field
glasses.
Hundreds Of washingtonians and
visitors to the Capital during the past
two weeks who have made trips down
the Potomac have witnessed the grand
spectacle Of the war precaution TO
which the government has called to
its command to prevent the possibility
of German submarines creeping up
the river to attack the city.
From the time the boats leave their
berths until the crowls are disgorged
at the piers on their return they are
under the constant glare of search
lights and the scrutiny of soldiers
field glasses from the forts, permanent
and temporary. Many new forts sud
denly glare out searchlights and sweep
the river for distance OF from four
to ten miles.

Fight for Senatorship
To Solve Liquor Question

Settlement Of the liquor question in
Prince George County, Md, will
probably hinge on the fight for the
state senatorship between Oliver
Metzerott, whose nomination on the
Republican ticket is conceded. and
William F. Holmead, who will be
renominated by the Democrats.
Mr.. Metzerott, who announced his
candidacy for nomination yesterday,
was Republican floor leader in the
Maryland house OF delegates during
the regular and extra 1916 sessions.
Prince George County is normally
Democratic. but Mr.. Metzerott has
been elected to the house from his
district there times.
The county went wet in 1916 and
was legislated dry" in the extra
session of the house that year. 1t
was predicted the District provision
creating dry territory around WASH
ington would act to make the county
the stamping ground for the vets
of the District.

As the boats put into the harbor
on their return they come under the
glare of mounted auto patrol search
lights from Potomac Park and field
glasses scan the pleasure seekers as
they discmbark.
The action of the government in
throwing the spotlight upon a favor
lite outdoor sport of Washingtonians
was roundly criticised by many OF
the pleasure seekers last night. The
steamboat men, for reasons Of their
own. frOwned upon the practice and
imaginative river merchants began at
once to invent ways of neutralizing
the effect Of the searching rays as
far as the excursion craft are con-
ceEned.
1t was suggested that tarpaulins be
placed upon the lee side of the boats
but this expedient was discredited on
the score that the coverings would
shut OF the breeze. which is a de-
ltghtful feature OF trips down the
river. The wielders OF the search
lights refused absolutely to cooper
