DO YOU GIVE A "BAkER'S DOZEN?"

DO YOU GIVE A "BAkER'S DOZEN?"
Many weird theories have been advanced hing
ing upon the fear or honesty Of the old time "bak-
er's Dozen"
One man claims that bread loses weight in fir
ing, and in order not to cheat their patrons, GER
tain bakermen of the old school tossed in extra
loaf
The expression "baker's dozen" probably found
it's meaning about two centuries ago in Brittany,
where laws against short weight and short mea-
sure were so extremely severe that in order not
to feel the strong arm Of justice, the bakers de-
liberately threw in an extra loaf or bun or roll.
They did this not because of their innate honesty,
but to save their precious skins.
But, whatever the cause or origin of the bakers
dozen," it has influenced the generations that have
come and gone to such an extent that bakers sell
dom, if ever, are accused of underweight or under
measure.
And, all business today is leaning more or less
toward the "baker's dozen' in weights and mea-
sures. "The public be damned" spirit is rapidly
fading into the dim past

IS THE KAISER GOING CRAZY?

Bill Hohenzoern evidently has an American
lawyer.
All this cabled rumor about the poor old man
playing with mud pies will be recognized by any,
body who has ever followed Harry Thaw defense.
Is the kaiser going crazy? $50
Has he always been insane,? ,.. =
Undoubtedly. Merely check up his recent ac-
Invites. In his flight to Holland, wasn't he looney
when he took several wagonloads of gold coin and
a strong bodyguard armed with rifles. Now he
manages to live in huge, comfortable castle,
which must be insanity! z = s%: lit. $50 s"s
The ex-kaiser is crazy-6ke a fox.
4 Talk of executing Count Hohenzollern has died
down, but repeatedly Clemenceau and Lloyd
George re-pledge punishment for the guilty war
makers. ~ r.
These two men carry no stock of American
political whitewash.
An insanity plea is not apt to get very fal
with the jury that eventually calls Bill to the
witness stand
On matter involving retribution for the orig
inator of war that cost six million four hundred
thousand dead, the men empaneled will be ndi-
viduals who imagine nothing but facts.
The kaiser in court what rare treat we have
in store. A man CT undoubted personality and
highly developed sense of the dramatic, his trial
should be the most interesting since the Nazarene
appeared before Plate
What would you not give to be on that jury
yourself? Hr.
What punishment would you deal out to this
6O-year-old criminal whose matches set the world
afire?
He might be compelled to fish u hours day
with no hooks on his line. Hard-kearted citizens
would force him to attend congress and listen to
all the speeches. For choice torture there is the
Asiatic method of burying man in the ground
up to his neck, smearing the head with honey
and letting ants do the work.
Mere probably the kaiser will be taken to Lon
don and shot in the Tower. His guilt affixed even
by his people, insanity plea will have little
weight with an international jury. Mud pies can
not save him. &
Undesirable Germans must leave Metz" Are
there desirables?
John Barleycorn would have preferred peace
without victory.
Perhaps after this diplomat will not need to
be professional free-hand liar.
Peace treaty will be signed in March," Be-
ware the 1des of March, you who wanted to be
Caesar!
If only the peace conference will be sure it,
concrete proposals with regard to Russia aren't
solid concrete!

Club Notes

7 INVESTIGATION as to how the
federated club women of the coun-
try can cooperate with the recrea-
tional agencies of a community IS
now being made by the Genera Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs, according
to the Washington headquarters of
that organization. This IS planned
to be another phase of the COM
munity service being studied By the
several million club women federated
into the national body as its recon-
struction period work.
The federation is conducting the
inquiry, it is understood, looking
toward the creation of a community
recreational programme. This vii!
be Identical in operation with the
thrift and Americanization pro-
grammes now already adopted By
the organization. Printed announce
ments and suggestions for the yuid-
ance Of the clubs throughout the
country on these two programmes
are expected to be out of the hands
OF the printer shortly. The dis
trlbution and organization for thrift
and Americanization is to be the
main autumn work Of the Washing
ton Office, according to the presen.
outlook.

"To go back to the beginning Of
this said Miss Wallace, 1900 busi-
ness women met in New York in
February, 1918, to discuss the op-
portunities that the war had opened
up to them. They reached the con.
clusion at that time that a fedora
ton of business women's clubs was
necessary. Other plans were made
at that time and a committee OF
business women appointed"
Miss Lena Madesin Phillips was
made executive secretary of the
committee to form the federation.
The War Work Council of the Y. M.
c. A., holding in trust money con-
tributed for the benefit of women,
decided to set aside certain amount
for the work of organizing the fed

women's clubs.
The legal profession was repre-
sented by the largest number of
delegates. Newspaper women came
second on the list. They got out a
daily for the federation called "Can
Happen" which gave the news and
the human interest side of the dele
gates work.
The first big work to be taken up
by the federation is that Of research.
1t is the purpose to find out all
about women in business and pro-
fessional life-the kinds Of work
women do best and what work is
open to them, whether they do their
full share and what value is placed
on their work.

T NDER the provisions of a
Senate resolution passed a
~ few days ago, Washington
housekeepers are to have
the benefit of a Congressional in
vestigation to find the reason
of the "high cost of living"
This resolution empowers a sub
committee of the District of
Columbia Committee to act and
gives it unlimited power to send for
any persons who might, for instance,
tell why shoes sold by the retailers
at the nations capital are high
er than those sold in other cities, or
why the housewife has to pay more
for her market basket, contents here
than do her sisters in other places.
Hearings in this investigation
were opened recently. Senator Ball,
Of Delaware, is chairman of the
committee to conduct the investiga-
ton. Senators Capper, Of Kansas,
Elki9s, of West Virginia, Shepard,
of Texas, and Dial, of South Caro-
lima, are to be his associates for the
inquiry. Senator Sherman, of Hi
nois, is chairman of the District
Committee of which this investi-
eating committee is a part.
The plan is to call in the Bureau
Of Markets experts and other gov
ernmental authorities. A steno-
graphic report of the hearings is to
be made and will probably be pub
lished. This investigation will in
clude rents charged for homes here,
prices of clothing and other ele-
ments in the cost of living, as we'll
as food prices.
Cooperating with this will be the
investigation into the cost of living
in Washington in 1919, to be con-
Quoted by the joint Congressional
commission now engaged in reclass-
flying salaries. This commission is
concerned with the cost of living in
the District because it will be a fac
tor in determining the amount of
compensation to be paid each work
er on the government payroll.
Senator Calder, of New York, re-
ported the resolution to conduct the
Senatorial investigation. The reso-
luton authorized the Senate to pay
for the conduct of such inquiry from
the contingent fund of that body
and also allows for expert service
required to complete the work.

anti-suf7rage Southern Senator's
made In the last Congress against
woman suffrage during the So
called reconstruction period. Such
conditions as those in Washington
were prophesied by the Southern
Senators as result Of the negro
soldiers return from the war. The
Senators argued that to increase the
negro vote by adding the votes Of
negro women at this time would be
disastrous to the Southern states
handling Of their race problem.
