The laboring class at one time wa>
eating much rice. But lately that com
modity reached figures out of propor- j
tion to the salaries of the working
man.
A few' days ago Food Minister Borei j
caused the arrest of speculators who ■
were offering nee for sale at forty
| cents per pound. It turned out that
the rice has been obtained from th:
, •
food ministry at the legal price of j
i sixteen cents a pound. But it had har. j
a circuitious journey before reaching
the consumer passing through six a!
leged brokers who in turn levied a per- j
centage on the rice. They were each
fined two hundred francs and costs.

ENGLISHMEN DECORATES;
WOMEN DO THE WORK

—
LONDON, April 7— Dcmobolization
is returning men servants to England
in ever increasing numbers and the
wealthy householder has no difficult/ j
now in hiring a butler, footman, groon
chauffeur or page-boy. The shortage J
of women servants, however daily be
comes more acute. Unlike the women,
the men have no objection to return
• ing to their old indoor domestic jobs, j
\ The reason, according to a West End
Employment agency manager, is that
j the male indoor servant is chose*
j mainly for decorative purposes —the
! women do the work.
