U, S, HAND MOVING
AFTER FLOUR TRADE
Sale Of Wheat Products to Be
Directed Through Hoover.

Washington, Aug. liberation of
a grain control board within the food
administration to supervise distribu-
ton Of wheat and manufacture and
sale of -four, will be announced with
in a few days. To the board will be
delegated authority to carry out regu-
lations governing wheat and flour, an
nounced by the food administration.
President Wilson will issue a series
of executive orders, giving the food
administration powers conferred on
the executive under the food control
bill. The first will deal with wheat
and -four and will direct the food ad-
ministration to proceed Sept. with
the enforcement of the regulations
announced Sunday night.
Wheat and flour are taken up first,
it is said at the food administration,
because the wheat crop is beginning
to move, making it the most difficult
problem to handle now. The move
ment of most other foodstuffs IS about
the same, month by month.
Preparation Of a form OF license,
under which grain elevators and -four
mills will operate after Sept. 1, was
begun.

One Of these is the park and pleasure
drive system, including so miles OF

the most beautiful drives on this

Quartz is the biologists thermome-

ranges of temperature. If the mate

subjected to more than so much heat
they take on an entirely different cnar>
