SUGGESTIONS

EGGS are somewhat cheaper due
to slightly increased production. But
ter too, is a bit less expensive as the
recent high prices greatly curtailed
buying. Meats continue to rise in
price, particularly pork and hind
quarter cuts of beef and lamb. Veal
is reasonable and forequarter cuts Of
beef and lamb also.
Ducklings are attractively priced
and fowl, roasting and frying chick
ems have changed little in cost.

pies are the chief fresh fruits avail

This is a story that the late Forenz
Ziegfeld would have appreciated.
During the height Of the showman's
reign at the New Amsterdam theater.
It often happened that his produc-

friends would inquire, Ziegfeld usual

Snowman would explain and the
friends would shrug Understandings.
Came Ziegfeld's death and Samuel
Goldwyn essayed to take up his
mantle-for the screen at least.
Goldwyn's productions. too, were
delayed in preparation. Friends
asked why and were told he was
waiting for the script. Who was
writing it, they wanted to know?
And Goldwyn would answer:

replied.
"Who is writing it?" asked the pal.

Quaker City Gives
Police e6-Day Week
Beginning on Jan. |

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4.-Next
year will usher in a new deal for
Philadelphia's policemen and fire
men. Final provision has been
made to assure them a day off
each week.
The legislature paved the way
late in the spring by passing bills
making it compulsory for the city
to allow members of both bureaus
"a consecutive hours of rest
week, except in emergencies.
Mayor j. Hampton Moore at.
tackled the legislation as another
bit of attempted supergovern'
ment," and police officials esti'
mated that it would necessitate
the addition of TOO patrolmen,
whose salaries would total ST..
$4,000 a year. In the face of
these statements the bills were
passed and we're signed by Gov
ernor Earle.
Some time after that it was
pointed out that policemen and
firemen were threatened with the
loss of a days pay weekly under
the new law. The City Council
accordingly increased the pay of
the men from Sc to ST day, Civ
ing them for next year the same
sum, $42, for six days work as
they receive now for seven days
duty.

rye bread. Thoughtful, eh?
