special Correspondence to The Press
LOS ANGELES. July 1O.-When,
after the administrative body of q
community has, through the exer-

placed a bunch OF gougers in po-
sition to legally wrest unearned
pennies from the poor, one man.
armed with limited authority, steps

ping it, such man is a mighty
encouraging spectacle to justice
loving people who are looking on.
s. w. Green of Los Angeles is
such man. He has just finished
presenting the sort of encouraging
spectacle described. Green is the
city sealer of weights and meas
ures. Just now he is a mighty pop
ular man with the folks who buy
bread, and just as nightly unpop-
ular with the folks who make and
sell 1t.
1t was only few days ago
that an ordinance fixing the weight
of loaves of bread at 16 ounces was

reservations made by the bakers
that they could not continue their
business profitably.
That was when Green got busy.
He had the power to investigate.
So, in the interests of those folks
to whom the size and the price of
a loaf mean much, he investigated.
He discovered that the retail
vendors of bread in this city are
making 80 per cent profit on prac-
tically every loaf they sell.
With this profit for the retailers,
Green determined to find where
there was any margin for the bak-
ers. 1t didn't take him long. He
began testing loaves.
In the first hundred five cent
loaves he weighed he found that
40 weighed only 10 ounces instead
of 16, that 10 weighed as much as
IA ounces and that the balance of
the hundred weighed between 10
and IA ounces.
He found that the same proper
ton existed in the 10 cent loaves,
their weight running from 20h to
% ounces, instead of 80 ounces.
Green discovered also that five
cent loaves were sold to retailers
at from 20 to 80 loaves for dol
lar anti that several of the larger
bakers sold SO loaves for a dollar,
This meant that short weight
loaves, bought at the rate of 36 for
dollar, and sold to the poor at the
rate of five cents each, brought the
retailers $3.50 or clear profit of
80 per cent, and this after the
baker had taken out his profit.

was searching for he told the peo-

MORE MONEY FOR
ROCKEFELLER
SCHOOLS
(By United Press.)

NEW YORK, July 10.-By a gift
Of 100000 to the general educa-
ton board, John D. Rockefeller's
gifts to the board to date amount
to $52,000,000. He has also re-
leased the board from the obliga-
ton of holding the funds in per-
petuity.
The income from previous dona-
tons had become exhausted, and
according to Chairman F. T.
Coates, who announced the new
donation, this appropriation was
made to met important educa-
tional needs.
BY cutting the strings attached
to the fund, Mr.. Rockefeller per-
mits two-thirds vote of the board
to dispose of the principal. Since
the board was founded in 1905, 1t
has subscribed to the colleges of
the country $3,937,000. The col
leges are expected to raise supple
mentary sums of $14,037, 900, and
thus far only one has failed to
raise the money.
