MOTHERS ALSO RECEPTIVE.
Many of the younger applicants
have come chaperoned by their
mothers. who also were willing to be
interviewed for the job.
Most Of the girls and women whom
I have interviewed" said the artist.
ARE women and girls who never have
acted as models. They're willing TO
learn even at forty-fve-but ] can't
say that I'm quite willing to begin
when they're that age TO teach them. .
Mr.. Witvitsky may have his own
ideas about what real model should
be- But he manages to withhold
them. The best definition he would
give was something like this:
"She must not be too thin--nor yet
too fat She must not be to light
nor yet too dark. She must not be
too tall--nor yet too short And she
must look something like the baby
vamp type-but not too much. She
must not be too shy--nor yet too
bold"
After knowing all of which you're
probably glad that the job of finding
the perfect model is up to Mr.. Witvit-
sky and not up to you.

ARE SLASHED
Cid Dutch Market Company Sell
ina TWeIve.0 Ounce Loaves
for Seven Cents.

Twelve ounce loaves of bread to-
day are being sold In Washington at
7 cents. three loaves for 20 cents.
This is the first time in five years
that the price of bread has been so
low in the District.
This new price was announced by
the Old Dutch Market Company, ef-
fective today. The company, which
has it's own bakeries, has been sell
ing bread at IN cents a loaf for the
past several days and cents loaf
prior to this time.
MILK PRICE NAY DROP.
Simultaneous with the announce
ment of the decrease in bread price
came word from Baltimore that the
price of milk in that city had drop
ped to 10 cents a quart, s cents a
pint. This milk price is expected to
affect the Washington price, causing
reduction of one or two cents on
the quart.
The Old Dutch Company, In An.
nouncing the bread price decrease.
declares it intends TO take the lead
in bringing down the price OF this
pany official said today that the
price of flour had decreased to such
an extent as to enable the company
TO reduce the bread price.
"While we are not making any
profit by selling at cents, we are
not losing" said the official. "and in
few days we expect to make n
slight profit. The company will make
an endeavor to bring the price still
lower"
PIGGLY wIGGLY TO FOLLOW.
The Piggly Wiggly Company an
nounced today that It intends to make
az effort to bring the bread price
down in it's stores.
Bread Is selling ut 0 cents loaf
In some chain stores and 10 cents a
! loaf ip the majority OF the stores.
Wholesale bread companies are
selling this commodity al 80 cents
! for n twelve-ounce loaf and 1917 cents
| for a twenty-ounce loaf. Neither OF
the companies today would admit q
drop in the Wholesale price was con.
tempiated.
HANDS TIED, ~ CLAIM.
Our hands are tied" said an off,
cial of one of the large chain store
companies In Washington. I'VE must
pay the price tho wholesalers demand
There is practically nothing we can
do but appeal to the bread companies
to decrease the wholesale price. and
this Is the action we intend taking"
Farmers shipping milk to Baltimore
are selling the commodity at 30 cents
a gallon. Farmers shipping milk to
Washington sell at - cents a gallon,
which necessarily makes the retail
price Is cents a quart
Health officials believe the farmers
selling to Washington may reduce
the wholesale price, in view OF the
fact that a good percertaar Of the
farmers selling In al.imore sell
their milk here also.

Following the conference yester-
day between Senator Harrison and
Superintendent of Schools Ballou,
it became known today that the Sen
ator will reintroduce legislation re-
organizing the Washington public
school system, probably next Mon
day.
HARRISON Is HOPEFUL.
Senator Harrison is deeply inter-
ested In the welfare OF the local
schools and expects Congress wall
deal literally in regard to the con-
struction or new school houses and
the providing OF new equipment ur-
gently needed. He Intends to push
these features of the District bill
in every way possible.
Senator Harrison is confident an
overwhelmingly majority of both
houses is in favor OF a reorganiza-
ton OF the Washington public school
system along the lines of his bill,
which failed to pass by only a mar
row margin at the last session He
believes 1t will pass without diff
Guilty at the coming session.
NO PLAN FOR HEARINGS.
There Is no plan at present to hold
further hearings on the measure and
II is not expected any strong opposi-
tion to 1t will arise either from the
Board OF Education or other sources.

How Can Industries Live?


Those who are responsible for the
management of industries have a
choice collection of knotty problems
to solve.
The American Federation of Labor
demands a constantly increasing scale
of wages.
The L W. W. demand constantly
shorter hours and reduction of pro-
duction by sabotage.
The Socialists demand that all en-
ployment be by the state and that
profits and wages be abolished
The communists demand that the
workers own and manage the indus
tries without capitalists or bosses.
The Non-Partisan League demands
that the state take over and operate
all big business for the benefet of
the farmers.
The politicians demand more office

Mrs. Leonard said that she had ar

Mrs. Nagle custody Of the baby.
Mrs. Nagel was not a graduate nurse.
Last Wednesday she inserted in the per-

advertisement for baby from three to
ten months old whom she desired to
adopt. Prior to that time she had been
told by the Newbolds her services would
not be required after Saturday.

In the advertisement she told ap-
plicants to. call Locust 4019 w, the
number of the Newbold telephone, and
ask for Mrs. Nagel. She asserted that
she was able to give the child good
home and properly care for it.
Mrs. Leonard saw the advertisement.
Little Genevieve had not been out of
the humble Bambrey street house all
winter because the mother did not have
the money to buy the warm clothing
the child required.
Together with her mother, Mrs. Jenny
Gallagher, who lives at the Bambrey

Democratic candidate Is revived by
his statement yesterday in New York.
Mr.. Hoover has been urged strongly to
put himself definitely into the Demo
cratic party. He has been urged al.
most as strongly in the hundreds of tel.
egrams and letters he receives daily to
declare himself Republican.
As a matter of fact the Hoover state
ment takes him pretty definitely out of
the Republican party. The emphasis
which he places upon the League OF
Nations in his statement does that. He
is first of all for the party that is for
the league, Even on reservations his
position is the Democratic position.
Calls Himself an Independent
He is in favor of no more reserva-
tions than are necessary to clarity the
worlds mind that there can be no in :
fringement of the safeguards provided
by our constitution and our nations old
traditions" in other words interpreta-
tion reservations. Moreover, Mr..
Barnes's speech described Mr.. Hoover
as liberal Republican who was rather
more liberal than Republican.
Yesterdays Hoover statement takes
away the label Republican. He lays
no claim to being a Republican. He
merely refuses to choose between the
parties blindfolded. Instead of being. as
his friend Barnes made out, liberal
Republican, with the emphasis on the
liberal" he is, as he defines himself
an Independent, with a liberal point of
view, but not third party man.
Otherwise Mr.. Hoover's statement is
first class middle Of the road politi-
cal platform.
His candidacy, like that of Mr.. Nc
Adoo, depends upon President Wilson.
One or the other will probably be the
administrations choice to oppose Bry.
an. That choice is only indicated so far
as the bringing forward of Hitchcock
to block Bryan in Nebraska.
