non-stopping of half-flIed cars, on
the lexington line was voiced last

the poor police protection for that

Park View Citizens Association was
suggested and adopted. S. S. Symons,

WHEAT GUARANTEE
BAR follow PRICES
Reimbursement of Values of
Food Regarded as Retarded
j by Federal Assurances.

While indications in Washington
country strongly suggest that there
will be a general decline in food prices
until a normal basis is reached some
large local food dealers contend read
justment of values hinges now on the
price of wheat.
At the present high price guaran-
iced by the government for 1918 and
1919 wheat belief is that prices on
general foodstuffs will not reach the
low level desired by the anxious and
eager housekeepers, 1t is generally
conceded that food prices in general
hinge upon the fluctuations of the
wheat market. Experience of the past
proves this. it is pointed out.
Decline in Some Products.
Although the law of supply and de-
rnand is beginning to be indicated by
decline in the price of many more
important food articles, it is doubted
by local dealers and officials of the
local food administration that the de-
cline will be consistent or anywise
permanent.
In this connection it is explained
that it would be impossible to bring
about normal prices so long as wheat
is selling at $3.50 a bushel This
generous guarantee runs for another
year or at least until the 1919 wheat
crop has been marketed.
The only decisive and sure method
by which general prices could be
brought quickly to a peace time level
would be for the government to buy
the entire wheat crop a I the guaran-
teed price and resell il to the trade
at what might be termed prevailing
competitive prices. This would prob
ably cut the retail cost of wheat and
wheat products in half.

PIRACY OF LITERATURE
Protective Legislation by Parliament

Practice.

LONDON. August 2.-American au
thors as we'll as British soon will have
the protection Of legislation in Far
lament to prevent the further pirat-
ing of their works in one or the other
country, as the result OF the embargo
act Of 1916.
In Parliament Lord AsHwith asked
whether any steps would be taken to
insure the American authors and such
British authors as had first published
works in the United States since 1916
should not be deprived OF copyright
protection by reason OF the terms and
results OF the embargo act Of 1915,
which had prevented simultaneous pub.
lication.
Lord Somerlcyton replied that nego-
tiations had been proceeding between
the government and the government OF
the United states. The government
was fully alive to the necessity Of
preventing any further piracy Of
works published In either country dur
ing the war. II the powers possessed
were insufficient the question OF in
