ALBA GRADUATES WILL
WEAR CAPS AND GOWNS,

Albia-At the meeting of the school
board it was decided that all gradu
ates must wear the caps and gowns
this year This action was taken so
that all would feel that it was not too
great a burden to graduate. Some
there are in the high school that don't
feel like putting in from $50 to 500
for clothing for this special occasion,
and were not going to graduate be-
cause of this. The board have made
this question easy and relieved the
minds of many.

T0DAY'S MARKET NEWS
A QUICK FINISH
TO WHITE Bread
SECRETARY JAMES WILSON PUTS
A LID ON BLEACHING MA
TERlALS USED IN FLOUR.

Away with wife's white loaves and
back to mothers bread" says Secre-
tary James Wilson of the department
of agriculture The millers can not
bleach the -four with sodium nitrate
hereafter, therefore your bread will
look like golden cake in the future.
But baker of this city says: This
may be accomplished out it will be
year or more before there will be any
change in the color of the bread. Most
bakers have a large supply OF flour On
hand and the new -four will not be
used until the old Is all gone
This latter remark was caused by
ruling of Secretary Wilson by which
white bread is abolished in the United
States of America.
The golden bread-the kind your
mothers and grandmothers used to
make---will be the result of this rul-
ing, in place of the white bread your
wives and sisters make. Beginning
the first of this month the millers all
over the country were instructed 10
stop bleaching -four, but the bleached
flour still in stock may lawfully be
disposed OF until June 9.
MllleFS Argue TOT SiiCI'lSai'
Millers think they have the laugh
on Chemist Wiley of the agricultural
department, who Is responsible for the
ruling against bleaching materials.
They have figured it out that sodium
nitrate, the chemical most commonly
used, is so little harmful and is used
in such small quantities, that the con-
| sunontion of 10 200 loayes of bread
baked from the bleached flour would
not kill man--that is the sodium
nitrate wouldn't.
Figuring further, they say that II
one began to eat bread on the day he
was born, at the rate of half loaf g
day, and If he could retain in his sys
tenn all the sodium nitrate he would
be SIS years of age by the time he had
consumed his harmful share Of nj
trate
But Chemist Wiley gets back tn:
laugh with the admission that the
bleaching materials are not In them
selves very harmful, but that the OBJ
iect of the ruling is to make the foul
look natural.
The millers will continue bleaching

DISCUSS PLANS
FOR CITY DOCKS
Officials Hear Proposition to
Model New Wharves After
Liverpool Water Front

OAKLAND. July 24.-Mayor Frank
K. Mott, City Engineer Turner, As
sistant City Engineer Brown, T. F.
Flynn, an engineer employed by the
California rivers and harbors associa-
ton. and a committee from that body
conferred this forenoon over water
front plans which are to be followed
in building the city docks.
Flynn and his adherents from the
association presented plans for lateral
docks, which would follow the estuary
shore line the entire distance along
the south of the city. He asserted
that by his plan, which is radically
different from those of the city en-
gineer's office, seagoing vessels could
dock without projecting across the
estuary channels.
In reply Turner and Brown pointed
out that the saw tooth" docks would
give a greater wharfage area. Flynns
plans were adapted from the docks
and wharves in Liverpool harbor.
Flynn and his associates that If they
could give tenable support to their
project 1t would be carefully consid-
cred. Another conference will be held.
Present today from the association in
terested were w. E. Gibson and J. F.
Downey.
When the city plans are completed
they are to be referred to Lieutenant
Colonel John Biddle the war depart
ment harbor engineer on the coast.

BABY IS KILLED
fodder Wanders Along Tracks
and Is Hurled Aside
by Engine

OAKLAND. July 24.-ToddIing away
from camp at the Emeryville canneries
today. Alfred Brennan, Is month DID,
wandered on the railroad tracks and
was struck by west bound Southern
Pacific train today Hurled 90 feet the
baby was picked up with bad cut on
his head a broken arm and internal
injuries from which he died within
few hours at the receiving hospital.
Frantic with grief his mother Mrs
Maggie Brennan, an employe of the
cannery caught him up in her arms
and ran wildly along an adjoining
street until a passing autoist picked
her up and conveyed her and the little
one to the emergency hospital.
The youngster had been at play in
the yard about the camp, which is pro-
vided for the large force of employees
during the busy season.
Watch is kept on children, but the
child was unseen when he emerged
from the big gate and began jour
neying along the right of way.
The engine crew did not see him until
too late, either for the slackening of
speed or for the fireman to climb out
to the pilot. on the running board and
attempt to snatch the baby from dan
ger The train was, stopped but the
automobile had carried Mrs. Brennan
and the child away before they could
be put aboard.
Dr. Koford hoped at first for recov-
cry, but the internal injuries proved
fatal.

BeTkeley's Identification
Aim of Improvement Clubs
Comprehensive Scheme Is Worked Out for
Adornment of the City Streets

BERKELEY, July 24-In line with
other suggestions for the Identification
Of Berkeley a comprehensive plan has
been worked out by the conference
committee of Improvement clubs which
was adopted by that body last night
The principal feature of the scheme is
a identification of Shattuck avenue by
the elimination of poles and wires and
the building of a parkway between the
Southern Pacific and Key Route tracks
from the southern to the northern
boundary of the city.
The Identification scheme will be
practically worked out by Commits
sioner w. T. Mcclure, head of the de-
partment of public works.
The men who drew up the plan are
Victor Robertson, Charles Adams, C.
A Sherman, G. c. Parsons and Dr.
p. F. c. Biehl. 1t was decided at the
meeting to refer the matter back to the
various Improvement clubs for adop-
tion and call for joint meeting of the
conference committee of the clubs with
the Berkeley mothers clubs in the city
hall August 81. Meanwhile the. North
Berkeley improvement club and the
North Berkeley mothers clubs will hold
q JOINT meeting.
PLACE WIRES UNDERGROUND
The plans for the Identification of
Shattuck avenue call for a reduction of
the distance between the tracks of the
Key Route and Southern Pacific COM
pany. with the ultimate placing of all
wires underground Until this can be
done ornamental poles will be used
Jointly by the two corporations. Flush
rails will also be used instead of the
T rail of the Southern Pacific. A pan
handle in Shattuck avenue, protected
by ornamental chains on artistic bases.
has been suggested for Berkeley's
main artery, the width of the parkway
being fixed at about 15 feet
The plans of the conference commit
tee include the elimination of weeds
and overhead wires in all parts of the
city as we'll as the purchase of parks
and Fairgrounds and the ultimate en-
ployment Of a landscape gardener to
supervise the scheme, under the direc-
ton Of Commissioner Mcclure.
COMMITTEES REPORT
The report of the committee of the
club adopted last night follows:
We recommend that the conference
committee declare adherence to the
policy that Berkeley shall be a cleaner
and a more beautiful city. To this
end we suggest that efforts be made to

against accidents.
(c) To cause all overhead wires

the number of poles and wires along

sidewalks and lots clear of weeds and
by the planting of shade trees and
palms.
4. That provision be made for parks
