marked q short time ago: Il feel that

the English accent is used throughout
the school, both in reading and sing

George NJ. Roberts, Superintendent OF

that the standard loaf made by the

was supposed to be the standard.

LOAF NO. i, inc usntest lOaI IN tne
lot, was found to be sold at a number
Of grocery establishments at cents per

Standard scent type.
How Size Has Shrunk.
The fact that the amount of bread
berved to the people OF the District by
The bakers has shrunk is apparent when
1t 10 understood that at the time there
was an agitation for the establishment
Of standard of one pound to each loaf,
Protective Retail Grocers' Association
told the District Commissioners that the
average weight OF bread was then fif-
seen and sixteen ounces to the loaf.
The table Of weights obtained by SUI
psrintendent Roberts in conjunction with
The Times Investigators, shows what
tho weight OF bread ID now. The de-
crease has been gradual. 1t Is stated.
ton bakers are even more severe on
their out-of-town customers than they
are on Washingtonians A loaf of bread
was received by Mr.. Roberts from ].
w. Bowen, a grocer at Brandy Station.
Va. which weighted only nine ounces!
IN his testimony before the District
Commissioners regarding the weight OF
bread. President Gordon, OF the grocers
association. declared that once he had
found a loaf Of bread that weighed
the bread weighed one pound to the loaf
He stated that he and the members OF
his association regarded one pound as
the average weight.
excited by the announcement of the
proposed raise in the price of bread by
the grocers grows out of the decreased
size Of the loaf. 1t will be seen from
the figures that the size has decreased
from the estimated Is and IS ounces to
an average of liz.
Bakers Are Silent.
The bakers are still maintaining
silence as to their plans for the future.
Whether they will raise the price or de-
crease the size Of the loaf more than
they have already decreased 1t, they
will not state. They insist that they
cannot make any move until they have
learned what the Department Of Justice
will do In the investigation now in
progress in Chicago.
One baker Is credited with having
stated that everything connected with
the baking Of bread has risen In price
Labor. gasolene. horse feed paper. coal,
oil. etc. In addition to flour. sugar,
used in making bread have increased
from so to 200 per cent, and there is
prospect of a still greater rise with the
rise In the price OF wheat.
No Law to Govern.
In the course of The Times invcstiga-
ton Mr.. Roberts made an examination
OF the laws of the District, and found
that there was no law in the District as
TO the size and weight of a loaf of
bread. He said that in view OF the fact
that he does not know what action can
be taken or what action has been taken
toward securing such a law, outside OF
the hearing that was held, he cannot
express an opinion as to its advisahi lity.
There has been no question raised In
any OF the complaints received Mt the
District building as to the quality OF the
bread. The complaints simply related to
the size.
