the Matches in His Pocket
Are Iqnited.

tie Falls high school, was sitting at

siderable hole was burned through Pc
dro's clothes and he was not hurt,

ITALY HAS BREAD PROBLEM
Working Glasses Of the Country Re-
fuse to Shoulder the Burden of
Increased Cost,

Rome.-The Italian government is
facing an almost unsolvable problem
in the question of the cost Of the ma
TONS bread.
During and since the war the price
Of bread was kept down artificielly,
the government paying $1,OOO,OOO, 900,
and even lately $1,250,OOO,OOO yearly,
as the difference between the actual
cost Of the flour and the price paid
by the consumer.
The price Of 2 Is pounds of ordi-
nary bread used to be equivalent to
nine cents, or of a finer quality II or
IL cents; now the price for the same
quantity Of inferior bread is 21 cents,
and the Italian working classes utter
~ refuse to pay the balance, which
would increase the cost to them to
40 cents. .". -.
