WANTED-NEW BREAD,
Other FLOUR SOUGHT
Corn, Potatoes and Bananas Are
Among Wheat Substitutes.

In these perilous times of submar-
ines. aerOplanes. and various other
scientifically designed agencies Of des-
truCtiOn. there is one fact that stands
out with glaring preeminence-and
that fact is that the world needs more
b. cad. Not many Of US realized the
supreme Importance of the role play
ed by the loaf Of wheat bread-until
the price doubled. and threatened to
go even higher. Not only has the
price gone up, but now we are being
urged by governmental and other
INSTRUMENTATION organizations to
have at least one "wheatleSs" meal
a day. and yards Of newspaper space
are being devoted to the demonstra-
ton of the value Of the dry crust,
that erstwhile found its daily way
into the garbage can. But there Is
an alternative. double or multiply the
kinds OF primary materials from
which to make bread. II We haze not
enough wheat or rye flour from
watch to make the bread needed,
make bread from corn, potato. banana,
maniOca, or 81 he other flour that will
be just as good.
There's the rub! To find a process Of
making bread from some kind of
flour other than wheat or rye that
will be Just as good" That is the
problem pre- scented in an interesting
ar.ic.e in the current number of the
Bulletin of the Pan-American Union
printed in Washington.
In short. what Is wanted is a new
bread, a bread made Of corn, potato,
banana, mandiOca, or some other kind
OF -four, that will be as palatable. as
cheap. as nOuTishing, and as &C
ccPtable to all the world as the
bread made of wheat -four with the
a,d of leaven. Given such substance,
the food problem OF the world would
be solved. and we could easily make
two IOaves of bread where now We can
make but one.

These proposals will be discussee
Monday at a joint meeting Of q sub
committee OF the District Council OF
National Defense, the Retail Mer-
chants and Retail Grocers' AssOcia-
tons. and the joint committee OF con-
sumers. headed by Mrs. Newton d.
Baker, and representing. besides the
National Suffrage Association, the
Consumers League, the Central La
Dor Union, the Federal Employees
Union, the District Federation of
women's Clubs, and the women's
Committee OF the District Council OF
National Defense.
Mrs. Frank NJ. Roessing, chairman
OF Washington headquarters OF the
National Suffrage Association, and
Mrs. Harriet Blaine Beale, Of the
Women's Committee Of the District
Council Of Defense, are the other
members OF Mrs. Bakers committee.
Senator King. OF the District Com
mittee, author Of the bill for a NUM-
cipal market, in a statement to the
National Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, gives hearty endorsement to the
position OF Mrs. Bakers committee.
He thinks that a municipal delivery
service would be directly in line with
his municipal market plan
Senator Hollis, another member OF
the District Committee, says: The
proposition to encourage purchasers
to carry their parcels instead OF hav-
ing the merchants deliver them meets
my hearty approval" Senator Borah,
who Is a member OF the Labor Com
mittee Of the Senate, says: There
Is no room for debate upon the Ques-
ton that unless the consumer is con-
sidered in the proposals for wartime
economy there is going to be break
down in the whole scheme. The peo-
pie cannot go on paying high taxes
and meeting high prices without the
entire country coming to want"
Representative Nolan, a member OF
the Labor Committee OF the House,
thinks that a cooperative delivery
system would save a lot Of money,
which, in fairness, should come back
to the consumer.

Business As Usual
~ Of. FRANK CRANE
Copyright 1915, by Frank Crane)

The strength of this country is the
business it does. Our weight as a factor
IN the world struggle. our striking force
in the blows we expect to land on the
triple-headed monster of militarism that
is seeking to devour the earth. depends
not upon our possessions but upon our
activity.
If we stop the giant wheels Of trade
we paralyze the engine of war
Consequently ii we want TO amount to
our utmost I'M the fight we've got to keep
gong. Behind our army and navy there
must be active merchants. busy manufac-
turers, industrious workmen, and unceas-
ing creative energy everywhere, on the
farm, in the factory, along the highway.
Our motto must be: Business as
usual
We have plunged headong into fury
of preparednesS We should have care
lest We Kill the goose that lays the golden
egg
\ little patriotic and sensible pamphlet
calling attention TO this lies upon my
desk 1t quotes the. words of Mr.. How
ard f. Coffin of the Council of National
Defense, as one speaking with authority
and not as the scribes
Among other things Mr. Coffin says:
Because Of an impending and possible
shortage OF foodstuds we have hysterica
demands for economy i'm every line of hui
man endeavor Waste Is bad but an I'M
discriminating economy is worse
Some municipalities are stopping road
building and other public work. General
business is being slowed down savings
are being Withdrawn from banks some
have begun to hoard food supplies; and
thousands are being suddenly thrown out
of work All this is wrong. Unemploy-
ment and closed factories brought about
/ thru ftful and ill-advised campaigns for
public and private economy will prove
veritable Ga. cksand for the serious work
We have in hand
Mr. W. j. hoggson. prominent build
or in New York stated in a recent in
terview that
Economy is 4 good thing not only in
war time but at al times but the sort
of saving that denies 20 the people the
things that contribute to their prosper

have had entirely too much agitation for
that kind Of economy lately If those
( who give this kind of advice do not
weigh their words more carefully they
will produce an utterly ,eedless and al
together artificial depression
Nothing worse could happen the world
than for America to lose its punch And
