who have had the larger num-
ber of escapes from the punish
ment they deserved.
You have had bad breaks,
everyone has, but your good
breaks have outnumbered the
bad ones, if you are a normal
human being.
You can recall many in
stances when you were most
fortunate in avoiding what you
have deserved, can you not?
But think of the times that
you have proclaimed that in
justice had been done in your
case, even when you knew you
yourself were in the wrong.
Think it over and be willing
to take your medicine without
flinching.

SUIT ASKS $4,000
FROM SCREENSTAR
Hammer Action Against Mary
Pickford Based. on Guard
ianship Claim.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September "Details
of a $250.000 suit against Mary Pick
ford, brought by Edward Hammer, for
mer vaudeville actor, were disclosed
yesterday in a complaint served on the
screen actress attorney.
Hammer fled q summons in Supreme
Court q few weeks ago In which he as
serted merely that he sought to recover
the stated amount from Miss Pickford.
In the complaint served on Dennis r.
O'Brien, the screen stars lawyer. Ham
mer sets forth that for several years
he acted as Miss Pickford's guardian,
foster father and business adviser and
alleges that her mother was to have
rewarded his services with q bequeSt.
Miss Pickford, Hammer states, re-
ceived all of the estate of her mother
upon her death, amounting to 81 $780,
600. No bequest to Hammer was made
in the will.
The Herald Tribune says Hammer
contends that he and Miss Pichord's 5
mother were vigorously opposed to the
associating of the defendant with
Douglas Fairbanks prior to her divorce
from Owen Moore"
At that time, Hammer asserts In the
complaint, he and Miss Pickford dis
cussed compensation for his services.
and that he said he would desist from
making legal claims unless overlooked
in the will.

CHRISTON BANK, England, Sep
tember 8.-An England today mourned
Lord Grey of Fallodon, former foreign
secretary, who died yesterday at the age
of II after being seriously Ill for q week.
The little telegraph office near Fallo-
don, the late viScount'S beautiful home
on the Northumbrian coast, bore wit
ness to the world wide esteem In which
he was held. Tributes streamed in from
all parts Of the world.
A memorial service will be held at
Embleton Parish Church and In New
castle Cathedral tomorrow, and the
body will be cremated at Darlington on
the same day.
As Lord Grey was understood to have
left definite instructions regarding dis
posal Of his ashes and his family re-
gard 1t as purely private matter, no
indications were given as to where the
ashes would be placed.
Another memorial service will be held
Monday in Westminster Abbey.
King George sent the following mes
sage to the sister Of the late viscount:
Il received the news of the death of
my old friend, Lord Grey, with true
regret. Lord Grey will ever be CRATE
fully remembered by his devoted serv-
Ices to his country during three sue
cessive reigns, and in those eventful
years proved himself not only a dis
tinguished statesman, but a great Eng
nshman. The Queen and I assure YOU
and your family our heartfelt SYM

were unwilling to concede that this
price increase would be reflected In q
corresponding horizontal increase Of l
cent on the average price of the loaf
OF bread sold in the District, but were
OF the opinion that it would un-
doubtedly throw the Washington price
out OF line with that for the rest Of
the country.
Ten days ago, DR.. Howe announced
that his of1ce was investigating Wash
ngton bread prices, which he said at
that time had been out of line with
national prices, on the high side, since
1881.
DR.. Howe announced this inquiry
following receipt Of a letter from the
American Bakers Association stating
that labor costs in Washington are
chiefly responsible for Washington's
bread price being out of line with the
price in the principal cities in the
country.
Seeks Reason for Prices.
In citing Atlanta with an average
price Of 8.6, Charleston with an average
price of 81, Mobile with an average
price Of 81, San Francisco with an
average price of 81, Savannah, Ga.
with an average price of 9, Scranton.
Pa, with an average price Of 80 and
Seattle with an average price Of SO.
DR.. Howe pointed out that in all these
cities the difference Is cent or more
over the average throughout the coun-
try for the pound loaf, and declared
that every extra cent charged the
public means thousands of dollars less
In consumers pockets at the end Of the
year"
He is seeking an explanation of the
high prices in these seven cities.
Investigators for the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration still are
working, 1t was stated, on Washington
bread prices, and when these reports
are tabulated it Is believed Washing
toms average price will be found con-
siderably out of line.
In line with the explanation of Henry
Stude, president Of the American
Bakers Association, that labor costs in
Washington are chiefly responsible for
higher prices here, DR.. Howe stated:
Consumer Wants Facts.
labor costs may explain some Of the
differences. Where bakers are ac-
tually getting decent wages, consumers
have no objection, but they have to be
shown that is the case. The question
70 every consumer IS whether these
higher prices are due to lower efnc1ency
II the bakeries or to the competitive
Situation in the different cities.
I'm cities where wages in bakeries
are not higher than average, consumers
should be able to buy bread for about
the average price for the country"
DR.. Howe announced that this weeks
report is the first Of a series of such re-
ports on bread price figures to be re-
leased every other week on the basis of
surveys made in 81 cities throughout
the country. including Washington.

STRANGE PUZZLES PNCUs OF THE ANTARCTIC

When President Roosevelt was to be
inaugurated Richard Byrd conceived
the notion that every Governor should
pledge his support to the new President.
Within a few hours Byrd was in a
Washington hotel suite. He did not
write letters nor telegraph. He had sew
eral telephones installed, sat down to
them and personally called every Gov
ernor of the 48 States. Within a few
hours AZ of them had responded to his
suggestion.
Many forecasts of these traits were
seen in Richard Byrd's ancestors and in
Byrd legend that Richard Evelyn's
tgreat-grandmothe predicted that
one of her descendants would reach the
North Pole. A grandmother watching
Richard at his antics opined, Some
day he should write book. He's hav-
ing SO much fun and he's going to
have so much more, it would be a
shame to keep it all to himself"
And well she could have said it, for
young Richard was always experiment.
ing with himself and the universe and
dreaming Of far places.
He always had q dislike Of Winter
weather. so he wore light clothes to be-
come immune to cold At IL years of
age he stated in his diary that he'd be
the first to reach the pole. At II he
was on his way around the world.
Caught in a typhoon, he advised the
captain as to how to keep the ship
right side up-during what time he
could spare from administering cold
cloths to the excited brow of a seasick
school teacher. With Kit Carson he
went into the Philippines and was quar-
antined on the hilltop of a savage island
while cholera spread death below.
Round India, through the still boiling
heat of the Red Sea. slipping through
