high point of tho week, but subsequent
ly values cased off sharply The close
was o., 20 pa cents net lower. The
technical position appeared weak, and
when longs attempted 20 take profits
they found d slow demand. Exporters
were Indifferent and no sales came TO
light. The cash position gave some
evidences of weakening a trifie, at least
offers of hard wheat from the Gulf
were more liberal and premiums were
slightly reduced.
Outside interest in tho market was
again limited. which left values sus-

The shipping situation showed no

THE FOOD BILL

"HE food bill will be law be-
] fore the end of the week. AS it
passed Congress it contains
practically nothing that the
President does not want and every
thing for which he asked, including
regulation of food, feed, fuel and
many other lines having to do with
food and food production, even to
one-man administration.
Probably careful analysis of the
measure may bring out points of
doubtful worth, but even so 1t is
well that the bill went through in
its present form, If for no other rea-
son than because President Wilson
is now armed with weapon fash
ioned after his own model and pre-
cisely the instrument he desired to
solve war price problems. If it does
not meet requirements the fault will
be his and his alone. He is con-
fronted with q. gigantic task and
tremendous difficulties. He believes
he knows how to meet them. Con-
gress has agreed to let him make
his fight in his own way and free
from Congressional interference he
will be held strictly accountable for
the administration of the new law.
If the food control act does all
that it is designed to do, and loyal
Americans hope that it will, credit
will go to the President and to Mr.
Hoover, who had, perhaps, as much
to do with framing it as the Presi-
dent, and If it fails, even in part,
there will be no possibility of divided
responsibility.

THE ECONOMIC BENEFIT OF
SAVING BREAD IN WAR TIME
Not the of Wheat Alone But of All Cereals Must Be
Closely Regulated to Produce the Best Effect

or not serving of wheat bread is not
a saving of cereals, unless bread
is set up in their place. The sug-
gestlon that rye and other cereals
should be eaten instead of wheat may
defeat its own purpose, for these ce-
reals and wheat too are the elements
of the different war breads. and the
nations have got to get or make the
best they can out of the somewhat
insufficient common stock of these
nutritious grains.
described by Captain Bathurst and
other European authorities. First.
there is the present war bread in
England. The loaf consists of wheat
having considerable. choice. Thus
there is -four containing eighty-one
per cent of the grain, with husk. and
10 per cent of barley. Iiaize. rice. oats
tion of starch -four is allowed Com
plant is made that this war bread is
unwholesome and indigestible when
prepared according to the government
Ministry of Food Control to appoint
a committee to inquire into the mat
ter.
The experience of Great Britain.
therefore, teaches that the public, and
especially the workers, must have a
good and palatable bread. Bread ILL
prepared and baked is wasted, and 1t
does not prove sufficiently nourishlng.
clusion that economy in bread is at
tanned in other ways. They recon-
mend first of all that the bread of
the richer and more sedentary classes
be toasted. The saving brought about
is twofold. Less bread is eaten, and
1t is better masticated and therefore
more satisfying. For breakfast the
allowance. advised is two ounces of
bread, with the same quantity at
luncheon and dinner. This makes a
slice four inches long. two inches
wide and one and one-half inches
thick. Thus no one would consume
or two. and three-eights pounds a
week. leaving margin of five
eighths of a mound OF bread or its
equivalent in flour for puddings and
exactly half what the worker or SOL
der needs.
Authorities think this a practical
method of saving cereals and It leaves
white. brown or any other kind of
bread The point is that grain must
be economized, since the import and
the export have their difficulties, and
factor.
The consumption of bread at hotels.
CLUBS and restaurants has also been
considered. Experts agree that 1t is
excessive and must be curtailed. and
the ,readiest way of doing this would
be by giving up afternoon tea and
the serving of bread in the present
almost unlimited amount. The uuan-
tity OF bread, butter. cakes and other
preparations of -four. butter and sugar
consumed and often wasted in this
way must be something prodigious
Managers of hotels should not lose
slght OF the main point. the saving of
cereals. Spasmodic attempts to econ
omize white flour and bread will sure-
ly miss the mark.

WILD STORIES DENIED

"HERE is more than a mead of
comfort for Americans in the

flying to learn that the killed
wounded and missing during the in
terval named averaged less than two
in every hundred of the total mo-

These figures are accurate. They
are from the official records OF
France. They are an unrefutable de-
nial of the wild stories of terrible
French losses, of France ''bled

Scouts of America wear some dis
tinctive parts" of the United States
Army uniform. Does he mean to
include them in the wholesale ar
rests he is contemplating or is he
aware that the Scouts have Congress
sional permission for the privilege
they exercise? 1t is all very we'll to
protect the uniform of the Army.
1t is honorable and it should be
barred from general use, but when
Mr.. Humes gives out interviews he
might at least confine himself to the
points at issue and give the public
some evidence that his qualifications
for the job he holds are more than
political. Boy Scouts need not
worry. Congress has put 1t past
the powers of the Mr.. Humes of the
country to interfere with them.

THE PROPER COURSE

DRESIDENT WILSON, so far
from being annoyed by the Ger
man criticism of his neutral
embargoes, should be highly graft
fed thereby. Judging from the ear
piercing shrieks that are being emit
ted by the Prussian press, the Pres
ident by limiting the amount OF
foodstuffs that may be exported to
neutral nations has hit Germany
in tender spot. The more the i'm
perial government and its agents
complain the more effective we may
judge the blockade to be- The sud,
den and unwonted solicitude Ger
many is displaying for these 'injur-
ed neutrals" in a less tragic connec-
ton would be laughable.

VTT HEN young men are guilty Of
wv disorder in the parks they
should be punished and it is
in poor taste, to say the least, for
Park Commissioner Gross to take
their part publicly against the officer
who was doing no more than full
filing his oath of office when he ar
rested them. Particularly is the
commissioner to be censured for
using his influence in behalf of per-
sons charged with interfering with
open air religious meetings.
This is not the first time the park
commissioner has stepped between
his officers and persons brought into
court for breaking park rules. There
have been other instances and he
will have opportunity for more,
doubtless, for his conduct is calcu-
lated both to encourage disorder and
to discourage the park officers in the
performance of their duties.
The parks should be at all times
safe for those who desire to use
them. They should be free from
rowdyism. Violations of the park
rules should be punished. Police
men should be backed up by those
in authority over them. To do other
wise is to wink at lawlessness. If
Mr.. Gross hopes to win votes by
adopting any other course he should
think at the same time of the large
number of good people his inexcus-
able conduct offends,
