Aimed at Food Spectators.
Senator Pindexter's bill prviding
three years Imprisonment for persons
in interstate commerce or foreign
commerce attempting to corner food
or fuel was reported favorably by the

Two or three weeks is the limit set
by Secretary Houston for taking of the

Another point emphasized by Sec
rotary Houston was that there seemed
to be a popular misconception as to
the cost of taking the food census.
Half million dollars is the high
water mark because most of the ma
chinery for making food survey Is
part of the department Of agricul-
