RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

LEIGH LITHOGRAPHS PLEASING TO PUBLIC About 80 persons visited the Public Art gallery. Sunday afternoon to see the exhibit 'of lithographs by Howard Leigh. The collection has evoked much deserved pralae and favorable criticism from the, many who have seen it, and can' be classed among the finest exhibits that, have been shown in the local gallery and one that is worthy of a showing anywhere. The exhibit is not one of two or .three very excellent pieces, accompanied by .several more or less mediocre prints, but it is one of 47 lithographs, each possessing particular merits of its own.

Passage of the soldiers bonus-bill would cost the government approximately $2,300,000,000, Secretary Houston estimated today before the senate finance committee considering the soldiers' aid measure. 4 Further light on the nation's financial condition, present and prospective, was expected to be given the senate finance committee today by Secretary of the Treasury Houston. The committee's inquiry, the object of which is to obtain information on which to base tax legislation and appriation measures, was interrupted by the holiday recess. Mr. Houston already has told the committee the nation faced a deficit of more than a billion dollars at the end of the fiscal year, and in view of this situation asked for advice regarding the bill for a bonus for former service men. The treasury secretary declared enactment of the bill meant an added burden in the way of taxes, reiterating a statement made before the com mittee last week that the treasury ought not to be called upon to assume any additional burdens. While Mr. Houston said it was impossible to compute accurately the exact cost of each of the four optional aid plans, he believed the estimate submitted was substantially correct. Land . settlement provisions of the bill contain so many uncertainties, he added, that the cost entailed by them could only be guessed at. Estimates Cost Assuming that all of the men would select one of the four optional plans, Mr. Houston estimated the cost of each of the plans as follows: Adjusted service pay, $1,342,000,000. Insurance provisions, $4,534,000,000. Vocational training aid, $11,680,000,000. Farm and home development, $1,880,000,000. As the plans were optional, the secretary said the choice of the men would not be confined to any one of them, and allowing for the various se1 lections he arrived at his total esti mated cost of $2,300,000,000.

Influenza attacks carry with them "a definite immunity to subsequent attacks, lasting several years," according to conclusions reached by the public health service after intensive study in the homes where the disease was epidemic in 1918-19." "Inasmuch as the epidemic of 1918 and 1919 affected so very large a proportion of the population;" the statement by Surgeon-General Cummings added, "there would seem to be reasonable grounds for believing that even should 'flu' become prevalent here and there this winter it would not assume the epidemic proportions of the past two years, nor would it rage in such severe form." Dr. Cummings pointed out, however, that there was no way of definitely foretelling "whether this winter will witness any recurrence of influenza in epidemic form." He added that it was "unfortunate" that the public took such interest in "spectacular epidemic outbreaks of disease" and was "so little moved" by the "daily occurrence of preventable death." Could Prevent Deaths "Of the one and one-quarter million deaths occuring in the United States annually, at least 100,000 could easily have been prevented by the application of available medical knowledge," he said, pointing out that 15,000 annually died of diphtheria despite the existence of an effective anti-toxin which could have prevented "practically every one of these deaths." Another 10,000 deaths were due to typhoid fever, he said, in similar circumstances and there were 400 "entirely unnecessary deaths" from smallpox. NEW JERSEY COURT SUSTAINS EDWARDS TRENTON, N. J., Dec. 7. The state supreme court today upheld the action of Governor Edwards in removing the state board of Public Utility commissioners from office.

SPAIN AND FRANCE STAGE TARIFF WAR : (By Associated Press) 'MADRID, Dec 27. The tariff war between Spain and France is occupying the attention of commercial men here, as it is causing considerable preudice to trade, not only that of the two countries concerned but also of other nations. The negotiations, which have been in progress for some time, show France and Spain at present displaying . a firm standpoint, the former refusing to reduce the duties on Spanish wines unless the latter consents to abolish the increased duties recently Imposed on more than one hundred articles coming from France.

Bread Like Mother Made

In grandmother's time, the daily bread was all home-made. The flour was kneaded, the brewers' yeast added, and the dough put into a pan, which was put on a shelf near the hearth fire to rise overnight, to "set." Then the pan was put into a "Dutch oven," and when it came out it had a big golden-brown loaf of bully bread, ready for the family's provender, provided the Indians didn't see it first. Great-gran'ma Richmond wouldn't notice much of a change in the 1920 appearance of a loaf of bread, but she'd probably open her wise old eyes as she watched how a lot of it is made and baked. In HOME-BAKING things are done about as they were a century ago but in FACTORY baking everything has been standardized. The bread is made under FORMULAE devised by scientific bakers, mixed and kneaded by metal "hands" in big receptacles that look like a dwarf hogshead, baked in tiers in an oven as big as a house, and frequently sealed in waxtight paper, to keep the goodness in and the badness out.
