THE RETAILER GETS A SMALL SHARE
There is much loose talk of cutting out certain steps
in distribution. "Wipe out the middleman!" is an old
cry:'.' Men who make the suggestion overlook the fact
that more than three-fifths of the population live east of
the Mississippi River and that approximately three-fifth
of the 'agricultural production occurs west of the Missis
sippi' River. The mere physical movement of food re
quires the services of a vast number of people and much
equipment. ' . : .
If you are a retailer, you appreciate the fact that the
average consumer has little knowledge of the processes,
of distribution and practically no understanding of the
elements which make up price.' The report of the joint
congressional commission of agricultural inquiiy showed
. that in 1921 the retail ' grocer paid 80.7 cents 'for the
merchandise he sold to the consumer for a dollar. He
paid 16.8 cents for operating cost and retained 2.5 cents
profit Even the 2.5 cents was not all his, because he had
to pay some' taxes out of that, which were not included in
his, operating expense reports..

BOMB PLOT
PITTSBURGH;. May .7 .-Firemen,
searching the ruins ot two-Swiss-vale
buildings, destroyed by an ex
plosion, shortly after last midnight,
recovered, two additional bodies to
day, making the total death list
eight. ... '.
'The eight victims of the explosion
were membors of the same family.
Mr.' and Mrs. Clcmant Jeremiah
were the parents of Mrs. Carl Keg
lar and Mrs. " CarlBaldus ,all of
r whom were killed together with
their husbands and a son ot Mr. and
Mrs. Baldus.. Mrs. Marie Kohlte,
the eighth victim, was a sister of
Mrs. Jeremiah. ' " ?
Fire- Marshal Thomas PfarV said
be believed the blast was caused by
dynamite or nitroglycerine, bearing
out the police theory thlt the explos
ion was the -work of "blackmailers."
County datecliives wore making
an effort to locate Thomas Pusatera,
owner of a fruit store In which the
explosion occurred. It was said
that Pnsalera had received threat
ening letters recently.
LONDON DINKRS NOW
MAY DAXCE AND EAT
WITHOUT LOSS OP TIME
LONDON, May. 7. r.. Henus have
been "set" to" music in" London.
Restaurateurs have taken this step
in an effort to keep pace with the
dancing craze, and at the same time
neep the pots in the kitchens boil
ing. Dancing between coures, It Is
maintained, whets the appetite and
tones up the system, this being the
contention years ago of Barbary
Coast dance hall managers in San
Francisco, where the idea of a whirl
on the hard-woods after each dish
is said to have originated, ,
The menus are so arranged with
the music in some of the popular
London cafes that the diners unay
I enjoy one course after another with
out skipping a single blast of the
saxaphone 'which gives them the
signal to take the dancing floor.

UNCLE SAM'S BREAD
- FAVORED IN SWEDEN
! BY CHARLES P. TEWART
' NBA Service Writer
'.TtTASHINGTOX Chief Jus
W Uce Taft of tne federal
supreme bench visited Lon
don some time ago to study
the English counts, especially
their handling ot criminal
cases. He was
much pleased
What particu--larly
struck
him was that
English judge!),
s i m ply won't
permit delay
or be bothered
b y technicali
ties. It a man
obviously is
guilty of some
thing, the
judge concen
trates on find
ing him so and
generally sue
ceeds. Then
the authorities
execute sentence and that ends it.
It's the method we ought to adopt
hero. Justice Taft said.
.
ALL this is recalled by the re
cent hanging in England ot
Norman Thorne.- convicted of
killing his sweetheart, Elsie Cam
eron. The evidence was so purely
circumstantial that even the prose-,
rution admitted it was Impossible
to prove guilt beyond a shadow of
doubt. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle led
a strong effort to save the con
demned man, on the ground that
he was being railroaded." He was
hanged nevertheless.
j ment heard in Washing
ton Judicial circles. In
fart, the Impression is so favorable
that a meeting t legal lights is
being planned here for the coming
summer to consider changes in
the federal law which will mako
convictions easier to get. Tho
movement's backers have the Eng.
I lish model In mind. If they can
I gel il through Congress, they nope
state legislatures will see how well -It
works and begin imitating it. 1 1
Now. on .the strength of severs!
years of, my own observation of
"English Justice" as a correspond-1
ent in London. I want to say that
it doesn't seem to me to be all
it's cracked up to be. It works
fast and smoothly, but at tho ex
pense of a lot of snap judgments
I wouldn't like if I were on trial
on a criminal 'charge. And, in this
day and generation, anybody is
liable to- be. 11 J
A NOTABLE case, in my time
In London, was that of Stinie
Morrison. There had been
several murders In the White
Chapel district and no arrests. The
police wore beginning to he criti
cized. Thon there was another
murder. Somebody slmpty had tat
be caught. The police brought in
Morrison. He had a prison record. '
On that ground, the judge set him
down as guilty. But right in the.
middle of the trial one of the con
stables ft was all police evidence
-broke down and confessed the
whole thing was a frameup. When .
he broke down, more broke down.
Tho case collapsed. Tho prosecu
tion threw up Its hands. Well, the
jury convicted Morrison, Tho
judge sentenced him to death.
Even for England, that was too
much. There was a howl. Very
reluctantly the government com
muted the sentence to life impris
onment. Morrison's doing time
yet. ! suppose, for a crime there
absolutely is no reason to think
he bad a thing to do with. .
,
THE English get convictions,
yes because they're not too
particular whom they convict.
It may o true. In thin country,
that a man actuaiiy guilty ot soma
crime ftnd3.cscape too easy for the
public's good. But in England,
once accused of a capital offense,
he'd bettor'wiake his peace with
his Maker, whether guilty or not.
Personally .1 profor the American J
system. I may- be charged with I
something some time myself. I
iSTOCKHOLM, May 7. While
breud of American wheat fluur Is
ga:1hioB in popularity In Sweden,
according to official trade and crop
statistics for 1924 now avallahlo.
But at the sanio time Sweden's own
grain producing capacity is rising,
so that in ' a pinch the country
could supply" Its entlro need la
breadstutfs.
Whllo still being supplemented
by wheat from the United States,
Sweden's own wheat production has
also rinen during the same periods
from SI to 63 per cant of the total
domestic cdnsuhiption,t,and vut the
Imports of wheit flourf ro3o from
267,000,000 kilogramB lit 1923 to
180,300,000 in 1924, so sthat tho
population not only raises' moro
wheat than formerly, but also Im
ports moro. At the same Uolo It
consumes less of tho old-tlmq dark
dry bread which was onco its prin
cipal staff of life.
