another exhibition Of utter disregard for the needs plain

The bus lines and street railways Of Washington
titled to the opportunity to handle their passengers well and
to make reasonable schedules without much interruption
but there seems prevail around the District Building
strong idea that the street railways and bus lines of this city
really own the citys streets and that streets built
for nobody else
This Of idea easily gains lodging in the heads Of
officials because representatives Of the bus companies and
street railways make it their business to constantly look
for their interests at the District Building Whatever they
want they demand and they usually get what they want

SECRETS OF
HEALTH

VoU may have been impressed
l. with the notion that brown
bread, costing the same, Is
cheaper than white bread, be-
cause it is more nourishing. This
is a fallacy so far as the flour
content of the two breads is con.
cerned.
From an economic point Of
view white bread contains
actually more nourishment which
Is ready for use by the body, and
even if they cost the same, you
would get more nourishment for
your money in white bread than
in brown. Actually brown is
more expensive. Remembering
that the vitamin B question is
unimportant, as there is already
plenty of B in the diet, the only
advantage is the dubious one Of
the securing effects of whole.
meal bread upon the bowel. And
it is very doubtful whether a
man wants to take his roughage
in his principle article of food,
and whether it is not better
taken in one Of his subsidiary
foods.
The success Of food faddists is
based on the common belief that
there should be special diet for
all ills. Doctors find that many
of their patients will not leave
them alone until they give them
some sort of orders about diet,
and so they. recommend some
safe kind of food simply to sat-
isfy this need. But these are the
people who fall an easy prey to
the dietmonger. Diet is not a
universal panacea. which will pre-
vent or cure all diseases: on the
contrary. it's healing capacity is
very limited. Moderation and
variety are more valuable than
the most carefully worked-out
tables or the most brilliant ideas.
They also have the merit Of being
strictly scientific.
Prof. v. H. Mottram, of the
University of London, supports
Sir Thomas Horder's views on
the brown versus white bread con.
troversy.
White flour was invented be.

an unattractive crust, needed a

That's the sort Of thing that is

Chicago Students Claim
 Moral Football Victory

Chicago, Nov. 3 (CP)-University of Chicago students today claimed a moral victory in the Ohio- Chicago football game last Saturday. on the basis of an assertion by Coach Alon- 70 Stagg that the referee erred in refusing to allow Chicago touch- down.
 Ohio won the game, IS to 7. and the touchdown would have at least tied the score and would have meant victory for Chicago had goal been made afterwards.
 Referee Gardner refused 10 allow the play on which the touchdown was made, on the ground that a hackfield man was in motion before the ball was snapped. Stagg said the play was lateral pass and that the backfield player actually had halted. as required by the rules be- fore the ball was snapped. He en- phasized. in speech to 500 alumni, that he considered the error an "honest mistake in judgment.
 It was the first time in staggs 36 years ss coach that he had pub licly accused an official of an error.
