NICKEL LOAF NOW

Five-cent bakers bread at present
would be "wasteful." Herbert Hoover
stated today. blasting hopes of a

Hoover also indicated that eggs
soaring luxury-bid fair to come
within reach of all.
His stand on bread prices was in
terpreted as a knockout for a con-
sumers' committee in his own or
ganization that was trying to estab-
lish the feasibility OF a Scent loaf.
THE reports of the food adminis-
tration's Investigators demonstrate
that the baking OF a standard single
loaf of a size which may be sold for
8 cents, at the present price OF -four,
is wasteful OF both flour and labor.
said Hoover.
.aTha price of retail bread in the
country was as follows, at various
times and places, calculated on full
one-pound weight: September %, aver
age price, l1.O5; October 9, los; Oc'
tober 13, 10.S.
'aThe prices in the Southern States
range around 10 cents, anu those in
the Northeast a little over l cent
higher"
Presumably this verdict against the
nickel loaf was taken with full knowl
edge OF the result4of HoOyer's expert
ments in Philadelphia with new and
cheaper bread formulas.
