OBJECTED TO WoMAN's SKIRT
Peculiar Reason Advanced by China.
man for Refusing, 70 Consider
Matrimonial Alliance.

In spite of the success with which
the campaign against the binding of
women's feet has been waged In China,
there are still parts where men will
not marry girls who have natural feet.
Missionaries try, so far as possible,
to arrange marriages between Chris
tian girls and Christian men. One OF
our Christian girls, writes a CORE
spondent, was getting quite an old
maid. having reached the age OF twen-
ty-eiRht. Several heather had asked
her, but she refused them all. One Of
our preachers approached country
tenant farmer and tried TO persuade
him to ask the twenty-eight-year-old
lady. We all thought IL would come
of. The man was about the same age
as the lady in question. and had not
yet succeeded In getting engaged. But,
to our surprise. he would have nothing
to do with the plan. and gave as his
reason "who would marry a girl with
a skirt like that?" The girl had hel
skirt embroidered I'm a different way
to the girls and the women In the vii
lass where the particular swain lived
and he felt that he dared not make
such an innovation on the fashion OF
his own village. A beautiful pair OF
brown eyes, long. fine. black hair, and
q good Christian character counted al
nothing against q strange style OF skir1
embroidery

in which the association could raise
the necessary $4,000 to carry the team
through the season of 1921. were
brought up and discussed.

Florida, has already made its arrange
ments for the baseball season. 1t has
raised the money and will have good
team. Now it is up to the male citi-
zens of Ocala to boost their home

FIVE CENTS A LOAF
FOR BREAD IN NEW YORK
New York Times)

The scent loaf of bread, which dis
appeared early in the war under a
steady advance in the price of loaf
tc more than double, with a percepr
tlble diminution in quality. has return
ed. And it is here to stay, say the
markers. Furthermore, they boast
that even at this price they are able
to make a profit of l y to 2 cents on
each loaf: The loaf is standard size,
though the scales show that it weighs
about two ounces less than the pro-
duct put out by most bakers. In quail
ity, the new loaf appears to be equal
to the 10-cent loaf sold by other bak-
ers.
This scent loaf had been a reality
for the last week. During that period
the sales of the bakers have increased
from 80 loaves a day to 1000, being
restricted only by the capacity of two
plants. Within few days machinery
already installed will be put into ope-
ration increasing the output by an
lother lUOO loaves day.
The concern putting out this bread
is the Andrew, Inc, composed of Sam
uel Smart, president, and Andrew
P-ccirillo, treasurer. The principal
bakery is at 216 Eighth avenue, near
Twenty-second street. Another store
1 and bakery is located at 1851 Broad
way, near 126th street, but the scent
loaf has not yet become a realty in
this store. For the last week bread
in the Broadway store has been sell
irg for cents a loaf. One of the
large bakery firms complained to Pic
cirillo that 7-cent bread would put all
the other bakeries out of business.
I Forthwith the word went to the
lyCung woman in charge of that store
to-reduce the price to six cents. Pic
cirillo said that it was his purpose to
give that part of town a scent loaf
as soon as possible.
"You may rest assured" he said
"that if we did not make profit, and
a substantial one at that, we certainly
would not sell bread at FIVE cents"
Piccirillo has been connected with
the two bakeries for three months, but
the corporation did not take charge
Until the first of the year. He told
yesterday how the two places had
grown in volume of business until tbs
owners turned over the property, val
uel at some $4,000 to him, free Of
, mortgage. and gave him about sixteeT
years to pay for it.
He says he was making more money
out of his bread at cents loaf thar
he did when he charged 10 cents, be
: cause of increased sales. The labol
: costs have not increased, he says, ant
row that -four is around 50 barreI
: bread can be baked as cheaply as be
fore the war.

SCHUBERT DIED IN POVERTY
Estate OF the Great Musician Was Es-
timated at His Demise to Amount
70 About SIT.

Lawrence Gilman writes as follows
regarding the poverty of Franz Schu-
bert (1797-1S2s), one Of the greatest
and most inspired composers the
world ever knew. says the Denver
News.
Schubert, who was almost the age
of his contemporary, Shelley. COM
posed his B minor symphony In the
year Of Shelley's death. Like Shelley,
he was too well beloved Of the gods !;
Shelley died at thirty, Schubert at
thirty-one. He was fOur-fifths peasant
and he sang like rustic angel. When
he died he left behind him personal
effects valued at little over S12 and
some OF the loveliest music In exist
ence. A few coats, waistcoats, trousers,
shoes, shirts. cravats, handkerchiefs,
socks. one hat. one towel, one sheet,
two bedcases, one mattress, one boil
ster, one quilt and quantity Of manu-
scripts appraised by the official inven-
tory at ten forms (abOut $4.SO), con-
stituted his material possessions.
Within a year of his death he had
been unable to afford 17-cent dinner
and he was selling some of the great
est songs ever written for the 1920
price of four subway tickets. AS Sir
George Grove observes, beside this,
the poverty of Mozart-the first of the
two great musicians whom Vienna has
allowed to starve-was wrath Sir
George is exercised because he can
nnd In Schubert no trace of formal or
dogmatic religion No doubt a life
time Of privation and neglect and a
miserable deathbed should dispose q
man toward formal or dOgmatic re-
hgion,' and develop a spirit Of humble
gratitude for so instructive an expert
epce of the ways of Providence"

GETTING MORE PAY

Washington, jan 20.-Wages of
hired men on farms have more than
doubled in the last ten years, tripled
in the last twenty years and were
more than four times higher last year
