ate Investigation Of Price
Increase Here.

A Senatorial investigation Of the
Increased price of bread in the Dis
trict of Columbia, which goes into
effect tomorrow. will be demanded
by Senator Arthur Capper. Of KAN
sas, tomorrow in a resolution. The
resolution will designate the Sem
ate District Committee to make the
investigation, and will empower the
committee to summon any persons
1t pleases to present testimony.
'"I understand the increased cost
of bread will be II per cent" said
Senator Capper. I'm view of the
already high price 1t seems to me
wholly unjustified."
Senator Capper was a member of
a committee which investigated the
high cost of living in the DfstrIcr
last summer and fall. He recently
made a speech denouncing prof
teers. in which he said the United
States had become "a robbers
roost," and that Congress was doing
nothing to check robbery Of the

Why
Brick is
Cheapest.

"What will it cost to
build?" was the question
when your grandfather
built his house.
"What will it cost to
maintain9" is the question
today. Modern business
goes to the root Of the
matter.
Common brick is cheap
est, not merely at the
start, but because it costs
nothing to maintain after
ward. Brick will not rot,
or rust, or burn, or crack,
or warp, or shrink. Moth
ing hurts it. 1t requires
no protection, no painting,
no repairs. The brick
part of your house costs
you just nothing per year.
And today you see old
brick houses, after long
use, selling for twice as
much as when they were
new.
