CHEAP BREAD TEST
|. IS BEING MADE IN
QUAKER CITY HOMES

BY a new formula worked out BY
the Bureau OF Chemistry. Department
OF Agriculture. bread can be pro-
duced at a much less cost than now
by the average baker in the United
States.
To demonstrate this formula on .
commercial scale DR.. Benjamin r.
Jacobs OF the bureau has gone to
Philadelphia to take charge of the
bakery OF a chain store system.
Officials believe that some at least
OF the costs now tackled on to bread
by the bakers are unnecessary. and
DR.. Jacobs hopes to prove this in
commercial practice. The expert
will run for week or two.
Predicts Sugar saving.
Among other things, it is claimed
that large amounts OF sugar. that go
Into the cost OF modern bakeries, are
lost through fermentation. and that
the huge sum thar this sugar repre-
sents might well be saved.
Philadelphians were given bread
from the Jacobs formula this morn
ing. 1t is not believed that they viii
be able to detect the slightest differ
ence in flavor or texture of the bread.
In addition, the experiment is ex-
pected to work out in practice a suit
able standard loaf OF bread that will
fit the requirements of most fam
lilies and a standard price for this
loaf, figuring a fair proft above all
costs.
Food Savers watch Test.
The experiment is being watched
with deep interest by the Food 'Ad-
ministration. DIR. Jacobs conferred
with officials OF the Food Administers
tion before leaving for Philadelphia
He outlined the laboratory and
kitchen tests made successfully at the
Department of Agriculture.
The Food Administration expects to
receive this week the report OF the
Federal Trade Commission on the cost
OF baking bread. This report Is ex-
pected to be the basis for the hxing
OF 4 standard loaf at q lower price
than that generally prevailing.
II is possible that some action In
this direction may be taken by thg
master bakers OF the country. They
have under consideration the draft
of a plan for constructive co-opera-
tion with the Food Administration.

COMPLETEPLANS
FOR MEASURING
SOLDIERS BRAINS

Details for the examination Of the
6s7,0OO men OF the national army to
determine their mental fitness to fight
have been completed.
Plans for these examinations are
announced by the War Department In
a statement explaining that the work
will first be undertaken at the Peters,
burg, Va: Wrightstown, N. Y; Aver.
Mass, and Louisville, KY, canton
ments, where lee, 900 drafted men will
be given a psychological examination.
Psychologists, working under direc-
tion OF Surgeon General Gorgas, have
pooled their knowledge and expert
ence and designed a method of ex-
animation which already has been
tried out on regulars and students In
Officers training camps. This Is the
way the method was adopted:
Ready fer Test.
Seven eminent psychologists spent
two weeks making q method, design
ing mental and manual exercises to
be used in testing the men.
These seven men separated to va
rIous parts OF the country and applied
the method decided upon in actual prac-
fice. They made 500 test sheets OF ex-
aminations. met again in six weeks to
compare notes and examine the joint
results OF their efforts. Then they
turned the test sheets over to military
authorities for the purpose Of corre-
lating the ratings from the psyche
logical examination with the ratings
prepared by the usual military
withheld From Public.
The tests to be used in the psyche
logical examining OF the men are
withheld from the public until the
War Department receives reports
showing just what results are accom-
plished in the four camps where the
examinations are to be made The
only explanation made is this:
This work is undertaken. first, to
supplement the medical examination
and, second, to give line officers esti-
mates of the mental ability of their
men. Reports OF the psychological
examinations will be made to the
chief surgeon OF the scamp or the
psychoiatric officer in order that men
tally incompetent or psychotic men
may be considered for discharge, and
to the regimental and company COM
manders in order that they may use
this additional information concern
ing their men for the improvement
of the service"
