WHY BRUNSWICK TONE REPRO
DUCTTON Is BEST.

The Brunswick "Ultona" a~ll-record
reproducer and the g atwood tone
amplifier, two improvements in pho
nographs pronounced by many the
greatest In years-are responsible
for the wonderful tone Of the Bruins
wick. Both of these improved fea-
lures can be had in the Brunswick
only, and both r integral parts of
the instrument-not attachments in
any sense.
The Brunswick "Ultona" %reproduc-
er plays all records at their best.
Just a turn of the hand adapts 1t to
any make of record, assuring the
proper position on the record, the
precise weight, and the required
point-diamond. sapphire, steel. etc,
The "Ultona" is the only reproducer
that fulfills the requirements. which
are necessary to properly play all
makes OF records on any m ma
chine.-Frank G. Smith, the Rexall

BUNNY RAN AWAY
FARMER FALLS INTO CORN
HUSKER WHEN HE THREW
AT RABBIT.

Pierre. Dec. 3.-An ordinary cot
tontail rabbit scurrying across a
cornfield came near causing the
death of Lincoln Feltman, a young
farmer in Brule county. Feltman
was operating a corn husker in the
field and when the rabbit started out
in front of the machine the young
mar threw an ear of corn at the flee
ing bunny and in this lost his bal
ance and fell directly in front of the
machine and was caught in the husk-
ing rollers and drawn into the ma
chine. but his bulk was too large to
be drawn completely into the gear
and the machine was stopped by his
body wedging into the rollers in such
a way that while he vas badly
squeezed and bruised no serious
damage resulted.

Railroads Up to Congress.

1t was necessary that the admins
tration of the railways should be taken
over by the government SO long as the
war lasted. 1t would have been impos-
sible otherwise to establish and carry
through under a single direction the
necessary priorities of shipments. 1t
would have been impossible otherwise
to combine maximum production at the
factories and mines and farms with
the maximum possible car supply to
take the products to the ports and
markets; impossible to route troops,
shipments and freight shipments with
out regard to the advantage or disad-
vantage of the roads employed; i'm
possible to subordinate, when neces-
sary, all questions of convenience to
the public necessity; impossible to
give the necessary financial support to
the roads from the public treasury.
But all these necessities have now
been served, and the question is, what
Is best for the railroads and for the
public in the future?

HOUSE OWNER GIVEN
OCCUPANCY BY COURT
Sale Begun Before Passage Of the
Salisbury Resolution Ruled
Within Laws Provisions.

Judge Michael M. Doyle rendered q
decision in Municipal Court yesterday
giving occupancy of a house to an
owner who began the purchase Of the
property before the passage Of the
Salisbury resolution.
The case was regarded as an impor-
tant one by lawyers and real estate
men because of the contention that
where houses were bought before the
passage Of the resolution the owner
must show that he or members Of his
family are in the government employ
in order to oust the tenant.
Judge Doyle took the view that
while the deal was begun before the
passage Of the resolution the status
of landlord and tenant was not car
ried out between the new owner and
the occupant, and that therefore the
been made since the salisbury resolu-
tion became law.
Although 1t was brought out that
the new owner accepted one months
rent from the tenant, he did SO in
compliance with a court order, be-
thirty-day notice to vacate served on
the tenant had expired.
The house in question is at 712
Morton street and the purchaser who
obtained a judgment was Marshall
Barner. The tenant was William
Mulligan.
Capt. Julius Peyser of the housing
and health division of the War De-
partment fought the case for Multi
gan.
Because Of the amount of time now
required to argue landlord and tenant
a ana ct @f L~
Salisbury law. it is likely that two
judges of the Municipal Court will
be assigned to hear these cases in
stead of one as at present.

PRICE OF BREAD MADE
UNIFORM IN DISTRICT
Clarence B. Wilson, Food Admin.
istrator, Approves Recommenda-
tions Of Special Committee.

Clarence r. Wilson. food administra-
tor for the District. has approved the
recommendation OF the special commit
tee. which has been investigating the
bread situation here. establishing a uni
form price for victory bread in Wash

Administrator Wilson has determined
that machine made victory bread at
wholesale should not cost more than Z
cents for a pound loaf It also is de-
termined that the twelve-ounce should
retail for a price not higher than cents
and cents for the pound loaf. In both
cases the retail price includes wrapping
and delivery. For rolls. more than IL cents
pound wholesale and more than IA
cents retail will be considered unreason-
ably high.
In May certain bakers in the District
Of Columbia notified Mr.. Wilson that it
would be necessary to increase the
wholesale price Of machine-made vic
tory bread. They were requested not to
put into effect their increased prices un-
til after an investigation should be made
as to the cost Of making bread in the
District of Columbia.
Mr.. Wilson appointed committee
consisting Of Commissioner Louis
Brownlow. w. J. Sullivan. chairman of
the labor committee of the National
Council Of Defense, and Frank J. Scott.
Upon request the Federal Trade Com
mission made an investigation and re-
port on the cost Of baking bread in the
District of Columbia. which aided Ad-
ministrator Wilson in reaching his de-
cision.
