Y ANSAS CITY. MO.-The National
n Association of Master Bakers de-
voted part Of their annual convention
to the housewife who bakes her own
bread. She was pictured in every po-
sition. The bakers showed their sor-
row for her by applauding every refer
ence to the lot kitchen in which she
has to work to turn out the homemade
product for her family They de-
clared she should be rescued from her
slavery and the only way to effect a
rescue was through bakers bread.
That the modern housewife produces
soggy article of bread and is COM
hitting murder in allowing it to be
eaten, was the statement made by
Paul Schulze of Chicago, president of
the association. "Thic country Is full
Of housewives who are proud Of their
cooking and who think they are doing
their duty by baking at home" Mr..
Schulze said. The long-suffering stom-
achs of their families continue to pay
the penalty of this mistaken sense Of
duty.
