bread will be required to be 12 hours
old before placed on sale.
The language Of the committees
report leaves nc doubt that the in
vestigation convinced committee MEM
bers bakers have been charging en-
orbitant prices and reaping rich pro-
fits. Particular emphasis is placed on
the statement that more than half the
retail selling cost of bread has been
added after the bread leaves the bak-
ers' ovens Waste and abuse the re-
port states. have been general in meth
DDS of production and i, distribution,
and in the margin of profit demanded.
In order to offer the consumer ev-
cry possible saving, the committee
also recommends that bakers be re-
quired to sell bread direct to persons
calling at the bakery, n that the
mate the price to the retailer. This, it
is said, would make the 22-ounce loaf
Z, or not more than s cents at the
bakery, and the half loaf 4 cents.
One step to be determined before
the baking industry, is placed under
license and the standard loaf required
lis whether, at the outset; to license
all bakers or Just the large bakers
operating more than n oven. There
are about 10000 bakeries in the Unit
ed States. of which 30 per cent pro-
be decided, at first, simply to license
the big bakers. with the expectation
that the small fellows will fall into
line. If they do not they will be taken
in hand. al.
This is certain. however. bread pric.
es are coming down. Bakers are to be
forced to cut.

Don't you know you will wake up the

And he yelled to loud that all the

all the windows Of the other top Flats

Washington. Oct. "A standard

That is the recommendation of the
special committee that has Investigate
ed the bread situation for the food
administration.
Food administrator Hoover will APP
prove the recommendations practical
ly as drawn and will enforce them by
putting the baking industry under Ii
! cense.
The result will be the placing on
taiLat 10 cents. This loaf will be baked
with a crease in the middle so it may
be broken in half. and a half loaf
or 11~ounces-will retail for a nickel.
The bread committee tackled its
problem from the viewpoint of secur-
ing for the consumer the biggest pos
sible loaf, Of good quality. for the
least price. There was no idea of inn
posing hardship upon the baking in
dustry, and care was taken. in de-
termining the size loaf and the price.

profits.
The government. controlling the
wheat and -four supply, is in position
to standardize bakers -four. This flour
will be supplied to all bakers at a
standard price affected only by the

In determining the formula fo1
mixing bread, elaborate tests were

THOUGHT
RETHRNNG.

Paris, Oct. 22.-Although at first It'll
was believed that the visit OF the
Zeppelin feet to France yesterday was
an independent raid and the first step
to carry put the German threat to
destroy Paris In reprisal for French
air raids on German towns, It nowsis
thought that these eight Zeppelins.
four o (which were destroyed or cap
tured, Were returning from England
and@had lost their bearings owing to
The$log book Of the Zeppelin which
landed intact shows that h had been
to England, and prisoners from three
other iairships confirm this. One OF
the men captured said it was the lack
Of gasoline that forced his Zeppelin
to descend. The raid is proclaimed by
superiority of the airplane. oven the
Zeppelin. The day Of the Zeppelin
for b~ombardment, n expert says, is
over. The sudden resumption of the
use of the German dirigibles is eX-
plained by the theory that the raiding
Zeppelins belonged to a new type
which lately had been reported to be
Constance.
Two Neppclins Wrecked.
ffOf the four Zeppelins lost two were
destroyed and two were forced to de-
scend. The two disabled. airshtps,
under attack by aviators and anti
air defense posts, descended in the
Saone valley. The crews, after setting
fire to the airships. attempted to flee,
but were taken prisoner.
The first Zeppelin brought down
fell at Saint Clement. and not at
Rambervillers as was earlier reported.
"A second volley fired by an anti-air-
craft post pierced the envelope. The
airship, bursting into flames. crashed
down.
Five mangled corpses were found
around the w~reckage.
About 2:20 p. M. a Zeppelin was
forced by chaser planes to land near
Boursonne-les- Baines intact. A naval
lieutenant and his second officer, and
a crew of men were made prisoners.
Third Lands
Somewhat later a third Zeppelin,
the L-50, landed near Dammartin.
and two officers and fourteen men,
including two slightly wounded. de-
barked. The crew detached one car
and destroyed il. The airship, thus
lishtened, then departed with four
men aboard. One of the prisoners said
this Zeppelin had left Oldenburg. on
the North sea at O'Clock Friday
afternoon bound for London. 1t be-
came lost in a fog, and, being unable
to reach its objective, started to re.
turn.
Two other dirigibles were forced to
descend at Boursonne-Les-B ains, "a
miles east of Langres, and at Marche
near Epinal. They were trying tc
reach Paris o certain industrial dis.
tricts In the center Of France.
The Matin SAYS the German airshir
fleet experienced the most complete
disaster 1t has ever met.
