Help the Consumer.

Special Despatch to TIE NEW YoRK HEaAL,.
New York Herald Bureau,
washington. ID. G., New. 3.
The pre-war five cent loaf OF bread is
about to become a reality throughout
the United States. A bakers price war
is being waged in many cities accord
ing TO reports to the Department OF
Labor. and prices are approach ng the
lowest point in months. Bakers are be-
ginning to give the consumer the bene-
fit OF the tremendous fall of wheat
prices In the last few days Wheat sold
at si.O1 a bushel for December delivery
in Chicago Tuesday.
With bread at from 10 to * cents q
loaf, retail bakers had only a slight
margin between cost and selling price,
Government Investigations showed. Ba-
kers undertook to lower operating costs
by reducing wage scales and prices de-
scended, but the reduction still was out
of line with the depressed prices OF
foods in general.
Bakers of most large cities are ad-
vertising bread at from six to seven
cents q loaf. Higher prices are asked
for wrapped bread The pound loaf
again is becoming the standard size

First Night Manners.

First night audiences in this city
have begun to exhibit a lamentable
Indifference to manners. Perhaps the
gatherings that assist at the reyela-
tion OF theatrical masterpieces have
not OF late years been distinguished
for polish. but they have recognized
until recently such social conven-
tions of the occasion as the duty OF
showing cordiality.
Twice during the past week have
the audiences at a new play failed 10
be cordial at the right moment.
After the curtain had fallen on the
so-called big scene there was not
enough enthusiasm to bring the
actors once on the stage to acknowl
edge the applause. So expected is
this conventional compliment that it
is dollars to doughnuts the actors
were lined up behind the curtain
waiting for IL to rise. Even the
wooden handed occupants of the
fringe of seats at the rear of the or
chestra failed to do their duty. The
spasmodic gigglers in the balcony
kept silent.
or course an explanation may be
found in the quality of the play. To
that element. in this unprecedented
situation. must be added the fire.
quency with which new dramas are
put forward. The old time false en-
thusiasm might be pumped up once
or twice a week. But when it comes
to getting into frenzy every night
in six weeks the most determined
booster finds his powers failing.
The least that is expected or the
trained first nighter is to see that
the most important act is followed
by applause. When there is not
enough spirit for this response the
time for reform has come. But
where Is reform to begin? With the
first nighters or with the play?

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER II. 1921.
Hulbert's Ridiculous Plea.

Mayor HYIAN's Dock Conlmis-
sioner, Mr.. HUIBEsT, seemed glad.
when testifying before the Meyer
committee, to put the burden of the
pier rent mess on the Corporation
Counsel
"The Corporation Counsel" Mt.
HULBERT said, has held that the
lessees OF city property are not lim-
tied to the rates of wharfage which
the Dock Commissioner charges
when those piers remain under city
Jurisdiction and control"
Does it never suggest itself to
Commissioners and to the Mayor,
to whom they are supposed to go
for advice and support, that the Cor
poration Counsel is not court?
Did the Corporation Counsel show
the Dock Commissioner any legal
ruling by which the Dock Commits
sioner is prevented from exercising
his broad Charter powers in draw
ing up lease that will protect the
city in the pier lettings?
Have the Mayor and the Dock Com
missioner romantic ideas about the
greatness of 9 Corporation Counsel?
The law has none. "The counsel to
the corporation" says the law, "has
no larger powers as such to bind
the city than those connected with
the ordinary relations OF attorney
and client"
Imagine a manager of the Steel
Corporation being told by that cor
poration's counsel that he must not
draw contract giving the corpora
tion all it was lawfully entitled to.
How long would that lawyer last
after Judge GARY heard about 1t?
IL a Dock Commissioner and his
chief, the Mayor, wish honestly to
administer the docks so as to play
fair with the city, the city's com
merce and the shipping business, no
Corporation Counsel can stand in
their way. For the Mayor can oust
the Corporation Counsel With q
stroke OF his pen.
Mr.. HULBERT's pointing to the head
of the law department may be good
politics, for the Corporation Counsel
is not running for office, while the
Mayor and the Dock Commissioner
are. But as the plea Of a business
man, pretending to handle the great
enterprise of New York's docks, it
is ridiculous.

Havana's Extraordinary Taxis.

Those who have enjoyed the sensa.
tion of riding about the streets OF
the old part of Havana in taxicab
for which the fare for two persons
was 20 cents and for three 80 cents
were interested in the despatch say.
ing that fares are to be reduced
owing to the substitution as fuel OF
alcohol distilled from sugar cane for
gasolene.
The fares quoted entitled passen-
gers to ride anywhere in the lower,
or old, part OF the city. the extreme
limit being at least two and one
half miles. How the $500 taxis,
many OF which are rented by cor.
poration to individual chauffeurs by
the day, could be maintained at those
rates with gasolene at 45 cents a
gallon has always been puzzling to
American visitors.
Yet maintain them they did, and

Forgetting to Read.
Beadle's Dime Novels Helped This
Writer TO Avoid 1t.

To THE New YoaK HERALD: have
Just read your interesting and rather
surprising editorial article upon For
getting to Read
II seems 10 me that the one very best
method by which those who are once
taught to read can be influenced in con-
tinuing so to do would be for instruc-
tors at the very earliest possible mo-
ment to place interesting and possibly
amusing reading In the hands of pupils
which would naturally lead them to
make use OF their acquired learning for
their own qualification. The habit thus
once acquired would undoubtedly be con-
t!nued.
According to my own recollection OF
school days the reading placed In the
hands of pupils was about the drycst
and most uninteresting literature imag-
Unable. 1t was probably intended to i'm
prove my mind, but children as a rule
take no interest in having their minds
improved. However. this was many
years ago. Personally, Beadle's dime
novels In my special case were a great
stimulus to the love OF reading.

In the collection besides is a regal coli
lection of china. with Sevres. Dresden,
Chelsea, Bow, Derby. Worcester, swan
sea. Capo di Monte Urbino, Limoges
and Oriental examples represented. Not
only is any single piece worthy OF any
collection, but there are magnificent SER
vices running as high as 900 pieces.
Included in the collection are more
than zoo miniatures, including those OF
Sir Kenelm Digby and family In Trip
tych. which Mr.. Morgan tried 10 Duy
several times.
The china includes a special SET OF
turquoise blue Limoges made for Marie
Antoinette. and there Is a splendid col
lection OF hnezzo tints.
Experts who arc going over the house
arc continually hndipg new and vaiu-
able items and arranging them for the
sale The work OF cataioguing every
thing Is so huge. however. that IL will be
impossible to hold the sale for several
months.
Although some effort has besn made
to keep the collection intact, the death
duties make the burden on the estate
SO terrific that the most valuable part
OF the collection must be disposed OF.
This also includes the house, from
which Queen Victoria. who had great
sondness for the Baroness Burdets-
Coutts. used to watch the traffic on
Piccadiily. with the remark that 1t was
the only place from which she could sec
II moving, as whenever she went out
