BREAD FAMINE SPECTRE

An article in this column week or
more ago directed attention to the
fact that most Of the bread consumed
in Alexandria is manufactured IN
Washington. The staff Of life IS
brought to this city in auto trucks
and wagons long before the stars are
out of the sky and placed in boxes
in front of stores. Later housekeep-
ers procure their daily bread.
Washington papers tell US bread
famine may result in the capital city
as the result of strike which seems
TO be imminent. Such movement
is likely to bring distress to Alexan-
hans as well, as many people living
in this city at this time are engaged
in light housekeeping and not having
baking facilities. are dependent upon
the public bakeries. Of course, those
possessing such facilities can bake
their own bread, and experience but
little inconvenience.

THE RICHMOND HORROR,

An editorial in the Gazette OF
Monday called attention to the 1ac1
that Tuesday, April q, was the III
tieth anniversary Of what is known
as the Richmond disaster, when
many persons were killed by the fall
If > crowded gallery, which carried
away the floor of the House OF Del
coates. We could not at the time
oive the number killed and 'nlurea
bv this horror, hut merely recalled
the death of T. A. Brewis and the
serious injury sustained by the late
George w. Brent. The Richmond
Times Dispatch in its clippings from
it's files of half century ago has re-
produced the following:
yesterday occurred the greatest
calamity that ever afflicted this city
save the burning Of the theater IN
1911. It was occasioned BY the 1al-
limp in of the floor of the old Senate
Chamber, in the Capitol. which IS now
,,cad for the sessions Of the Supreme
Court of Appeals of the State. Eleven
o'clock was the hour for the meeting
Of the court, and, it being under
stood that there would be announced
the decision upon the question OF the
stitutionality Of the enabling act
otherwise known as the Chahoor-
Ellyson case Ga contest for the May
oralty) which has excited so much
! interest in this community--a large
number of citizens assembled III the
gallery and the space in front of the
bench before the hour appointed. The
weight of such packed mass Was
TOO great for the inlperfectly con-
structed flooring and yet more faulty
gallery. which was suspended from
the upper ioists in most defective
manner. The gallery first fell for
ward, the floor yielding Instantly and
going down with it. cHrymg the
packed t>,.E Of men to the Eob' o. the
House of Delegates, fuIls twenty feet
below. AS fearful and fatal as this
was, the heavy ceiling and the TIM
bers which supported it descended
along with the mass, greatly IN
creasing the mortality. Fifty-slX
were killed outright and others may
die from injuries received. Had the
catastrophe occurred ten minutes ear
lier possibly half the members OF
the House of Delegates would have
been killed by the falling of the mass
upon them. for caucus of the great
majority Of the body had adjourned
probably not ten minutes before the
occurrence; or had the hour for the
meeting of the court been y instead
of II o'clock. like destruction OF
life would have taken place. for the
Legislature would then have been IN
session.

OVERALL COPS"

GudrQldIlS
Philadelphia. April 29.-Philadel-
phia will be the first large city to
boast of 'athe overall cop" if plans
under consideration by Superinten-
dent of Police William B. Mills turn
cut successfully.
The advantage of uniform made
of dark blue denim has been demon
strated to the Superintendent, nc said
yesterday. Sergeant Malcolm Mac
Donald, of the Mounted Traffic De-
.psrtment, performed the services as
model for the new uniform.
Superintendent Mills declared ne
was we'll pleased with the denim uni
form, the fact that it can be obtained
70" less than half the price Of the
present outfits.
As an experiment, the head of The
police said, uniforms of denim will
be ordered for the members of the
Mounted Traffic, Traffic and Reserve
squads. If sufficient material can
be obtained these branches of the
Police Bureau, which include approx
mately 500 men, will be on the plo-
ncers among policemen in the overall
movement to combat the high cost OF
living. They will wear the uniform
this summer.
Superintendent Mills also said yes
tcrday steel booth which had been
invented by members of the Traffic
squad will be brought in use the
coming winter. These structures,
which are collapsible and portable,
are designed for the protection of
policemen regulating traffic in the

WAR BRIDES ORGANIZE CLUB
NewIy\Weds From France Band To-
gether in Los Angeles-Hold
Regular Meetings.

When Greek meets Greek there
comes the tug-of-war, but when
French war bride meets French war
bride, they apparently form club. At
least, that is what they have done in
Los Angeles, which boasts no less than
five one-time mademoiselles who chose
to follow their soldier husbands across
the seas and a continent they had new
er seen before to a home in sunny
California.
Regular meetings are held by the
club at which, it is to be- presumed,
the main topic of conversation is what
is new in the way of fashions from
Paris, and the latest wrinkle in house
hold thrift, an. art wherein the French
woman always has excelled.
The members of the club are Mrs.
Jack Elwood, formerly Mile. Blanche
Deckukulaire of Lille; Mrs Walter B.

A Weed in Red Clover

Have you noticed peculiar weed
in your field of clover? The ON
noxious weed most common in clover
seed is buckhorn Or English plantain
which, on account of it's seed being
the same size and weight of red clo-
Yer and a life of many years, may be
troublesome. 1t is one of the So
called noXious weeds of Wisconsin
as we'll as of eight other states. In
this state the law reads that one seed
of buckhorn to 1000 seeds of clover
or alfalfa prohibits its sale. IN
other figures this is at the rate Of
about 275 seeds of buckhorn to a
pound of clover seed. have noticed
several clover fields infested with
this weed, but there is no prevention
now other than pulling out the
plants ahead of the mower. Don't
SOW BUCKHORN next year for you

contend with.

TEN POSTS ADOPT ORPHANS

less French Children.

When the A. e. F. packed all it's
troubles in it's old kit bag and sailed
for home loaded down with German
helmets, it left behind in France 5000
little war orphans which it had adopt
ed during the war and for whose main
tenance and education it had been pay
ing. There was hardly an outfit in
France which at one time was not in
communication with it's tiny mascot,
a communication Of a delightfully."-
friendly nature that shellfire, mud and
coolies could not interrupt.
Now the A. E. F. is back home again
and hundreds of thousands have en-
listed in the ranks of the American
Legion. Consequently, with the mem
cries of the letters Of petite Jean and
petite jeanette fresh in their minds,
the one-time godfathers of the expe-
dictionary forces are again adopting
the war orphans of France.
So far ten posts have adopted Or
phans, and a heavy enrolment on the
list Of godfathers is expected. 1t costs
only $75 to maintain an orphan for a
year, the funds being forwarded to
national headquarters in indianapolis,
where they are turned over to the

Maternity Home and Hospital

The Salvation Army is going to
provide Wisconsin with State Mater
nifty Hospital and Home.
Almost every state in the union
! has erected a rescue home for it's UNI
fortunate women. The Wisconsin
Salvation Army through it's County
Organizations has pledged itself to
give this State such home.
The members of Iowa COunty's
Salvation Army Advisory Board met
Monday evening at the Court House
to form a County Organization for
handling the quota asked of Iowa Co.
This appeal comes October 18th to
18th. The Maternity Hospital is to
be built in Milwaukee to cost approx
imately $125, 900, our share of this
is about $4,000. Mr.. John Campbell
was elected County Chairman, Mr..
T. Harry Arthur, Secretary and L.
M. Strong, Treasurer. The follow
! ing are members Of the executive
Committee, John Campbell, T. Harry
Arthur, T. M. Strong, John F. Hogan, =
r. E. Hoskins, j. E. O'Neill, DR.. w.
J. Pearce, E. M. Bishop, J. E. We'd
lake and Henry Davis. Our share of
this work is small when spread thru
out the county. Most people are
tired of anything that sounds like a
drive but on reflection everyone will
see that the Salvation Army is not
a wartime organization. Their work
has begun long before the war and
economic conditions are such at pres
ent that the rescue work of the Band
of Workers is of the utmost impor-
lance.
Let everyone assist the person ap-
pointed in your town and put this
small quota over in the first few days

County Chairman.
