WAR TAX BILL REPORT
 IS ADOPTED BY HOUSE
Simmons Will Call Up Measure in Senate TOday-Believed Opposition Will Be Foo Weak to Send Report Back.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The confer ence report on the war tax bill was adopted by the House today without a roll call.
 Tomorrow Senator Simmons will call up the report in the Senate, and he expects it to be adopted not later than Wednesday. Senator Shoot and others have indicated that they will make a fight on certain features of the report, but it is not believed they can send it back to conference. So confident are leaders that the report will be adopted in it's present form that Democratic Leader Kitchin to- night advised Democrats that they were at liberty to go to their homes at will. He expects the session to end within week or 10 days.
 Virtually no opposition to the report appeared in the House today during the four hours it was under discussion. Mir. Kitchin explained all of its pro- visions at length, enumerating par ticularly the points on which the House won in conference, and Repre- sentative Fordney of Michigan. the ranking Republican member of the conference, added his indorsement.

 The bakers know they stood out in the open all day and tended the field ovens far from the infantry training fields. to make the bread. They un- loaded the big sacks of Minnesota flour from the railroad trucks that run right into the middle of the bak- cry. And they carefully slashed the paves right down the middle to let out the gas before putting them in the ovens.
 That little slashing operation looks simple, yet it was decided on only after hours of study by the officer in charge who wanted to save room in the bread cars. Formerly each loaf was slashed four times across the top. hen the crust formed the intersec- tiOas Of these slashes raised up about an inch and the bread transport in- yolv2d great many wasted inches of space in the cars The new slash is just as effective in releasing the gas and 1t saves one half of the wasted space.
