The Price of Bread

Your paper has always been a
good friend Of the ordinary
people in times past, but it seems
to me that you're missing a bet
when you don't do something
about the price Of bread.
I can remember about a year
or two ago when bread went up
l cent a pound in price and your
paper ran some articles calling
the bread men to task. If I re-
member right, the bakers ex-
planned that processing taxes
and high labor costs made the
boost necessary.
Well, I read in your paper the
other day where the Depart
ment of Agriculture said the
price Of wheat and other mate
rails was down about a cent a
pound of bread.
Why isn't the retail price
lowered q cent?
The same thing holds true
with milk. Back some time ago,

New York"
Since then. however, New York
has gathered into its prison fold
one who, at the moment, any
how, is a greater headline at
traction than the Chicago boot
leg king. I refer to Mr.. Richard
Whitney, now in Sing Sing.
Should Mr.. IckeS give serious
thought to a proposition which
Mr.. StrauS considers merely
funny, then fair Is fair-and If
AL poses in San Francisco, then
Dick should be allowed to enter
tain in New York. Personally,
I think Capone would be the
bigger attraction.
All this about the Big Fellow
brings me to the great armored
car fraud which an Englishman
pulled on his own country and
Europe just after Capone went
to Federal prison in Atlanta five
years ago. He was won't in the
days of his greatest power to
drive around in an automobile
which was armored so that, II
any Of Bugs Moran's or Spike
O'Donnell's boys took q shot
at him. there would be some
protection.
This car Is still in the posses
sion of the Capone family, prob
ably because of sentimental at
tachment. The Englishman
wanted to buy it for exhibi-
ton purposes but was refused.
He was about to 60 home, de-
feated, when it was suggested
that he buy the armored car Of
Texas Guinan, the famous night
club hostess who had recently
died, and palm it off on his
British and European public as
the Capone auto.
This he did, without inquiring
into the history Of the Guinan
land battleship. # he had, he
would have learned that it had
been built by the Renault Com
pany for Albert, King Of the
Belgians, who used it at the
front during three years Of the
World War. Texas Guinan
bought it, not through any fear
Of getting plugged but because
it was good publicity in the
gunman days.
The Englishman took the car
away with him and exhibited
it very successfully in his native
land, where thousands paid
their shillings to sit where
Scarface AL Capone had sat
while lodging bullets. He then
took it to the Continent and in
Brussels, the capital Of Bel
GUM, he really did a land-of-
flee business. Not q single soul
recognized the automobile as
the one in which their beloved
monarch had sat-also lodging
bullets, but in a much worthier
cause.

Hitler and the ; Pigs
Hitler, the big bad wolf Of
Europe, is reenacting in a mod.
ern way the tale Of the Three
Little Pigs"
First, our up-to-date wolf
puffed and puffed and blew
himself a favorable straw vote
in the city Of Danzig. And he
ate the first little pig. But he
was still q big, greedy animal.
He saw the "house Of sticks"
defense that was trying to retain
AuStria'S independence and no
puffed and bluffed and puffed
until he blew away their army
and courage. And then he ate
the second fat little pig. But
our wolf is still hungry.
Now he sees the third little
pig. But this little piece Of
pork is in the 'chouse Of stone"
with q strong defensive army
and fine allies. Mr.. Hitler Is
putting and bluffing and puff
ing-just like in the fairy tale
but the brick house won't blow
away.
Perhaps Mr.. Hitler will blow
until he Is exhausted. or still
more probable our inflated wolf
will try to go down the Chin
ney-to fall into the boiling
cauldron that the little pig has
prepared for him.
Who knows? If Herr Wolf
should try to march down that
chimney-mayhaps at the COM
pletion Of the modern version
Europe will become q safer and
finer continent. L. A. REBIL.

spots that would be entirely too warm

You will find that the up-to-date
pansy is Of very definite strain or
family. The best seeds are expensive,
because they must be carefully Sc
lected and the stock kept pure. The
hybrid pansy must not be treated
carelessly or 1t will revert to type.
Most Of the best strains come from
Europe and are called by the name
OF the breeder who perfected them.
The chief points are the size, bril-
liant and unusual coloring or the
same solid color The parti-colored
flowers run to three general types:
Two banner petals and three central
petals of different colors; petals all
edged with lighter color; or petals
striped. OF course there are many
grades in between. but the colors
found today are pure white, purple
black, pure yellow. several shades of
blue, purple, red-purple and violet.
The pansy may reach a width
across its face Of three inches. Its
ancestor would have looked queer
with its smaller, inch face. Cultiva.
ton care and understanding are the
treatment the pansy responds to as
do the many other garden flowers.

Pansies
Viola tricolor).
BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

n VOW is the time to begin con-
M sulting flower garden books.
! " Once your name gets on a
4 list as lover of flowers, the
catalogues become part of the spring
mail. It is hard to leave them. It
is still more difficult to choose what
you know will grow In your particular
garden plot and not what you would
love to have grow there. A little
restraint used on your part as you
order the seeds will make things less
discouraging later on.
The French named this colorful
flower "pensee." meaning thought
The pansy is one Of the oldest garden
flowers. Gerard described it very
carefully in 1887, and Parkinson men,
lions it as great favorite among the
ladies as a flower garden plant in
1929.
Even in those days it was found
that the pansy was so individual that
1t was quite difficult to place. 1t was
generally agreed that it was a de-
scendant of Viola tricolor a small
perennial violet native to the cooler
parts Of Europe Today, you may still
find some of them as they were in
their natural form and colors. The
flowers of this violet are usually Of
three different colors or shades, blue,
white and yellow.
From this little wild child of the
cool woods have been developed some
of the most beautiful and saucy
grandchildren.
What makes them so enchanting
for a garden is that there are few
Of them alike. They may have faces
you can almost say resemble some
friend you love- They have deep
velvety shades and color combinations
that are bewildering No one can
resist the face of the pansy as it is
lifted to the sun and rain.
Pansies are perennial. Growers SOW
the seeds in the autumn and in the
early spring sell millions Of seeding
plants. These will flower in the
winter in cold frames or cold green
houses or they may even be planted
in the open in your garden for the
coming spring flower festival. You
may take in some of the plants in
