CONTROL WHEAT
CHEAPEN BREAD
Federal Supervision Ulti-
mately to Follow Grain
From Field to Table

Washington, D. c., Aug. IL
Plans for controlling the distribution
of wheat and for regulating the
manufacture and sale of flour were
completed by the Food Administra-
ton.
Creation of a wheat control board
will be announced as soon as Pres
ident Wilson has approved it's peri
sonnel. This board, comprising offi-
cials of the Food Administration aadI
leading men from the grain an y
milling industries, will be made rel
sponsible for putting into effect
measures announced last night by|
the Food Administration.
Regulations governing the control
of wheat from the time it leaves the|
producer until, 1t reaches the baker,
will 20 into effect September /. To|
eliminate speculation all elevators
and mills of more than 100 barrels
daily capacity will be required toI
take out government license. The
hope of the Food Administration Isl
that tIfe industries will co-operatel
readily with the government and
that many of the drastic powers
given to the President in the food
control bill will not have to be in
Voked.
Cheaper Bread Assured
In fixing a price to be paid produ-
GERS for wheat the Food Administra- I
tion, 1t was said to-day, will seek I'd

Will permit the public to receiyd=
bread at price much below that

Licenses will be granted to fouiI
| mills only on condition that they
charge a fair and reasonable pricd
for their product. AS soon as thd
wheat and flour industries have beer
put under regulation the Food Adj
ministration plans to extend it's conf
troll to bakers, hoping to reduce tho
price now paid for bread. There ID
no present plan to put cereals othed

TO SHORTEN ARMY COAT
BnISer to Follow PcrshinE's Advice
Regarding Uniforms

Washington, Aug. 14.-While Secre-
tary of War Baker declined to ap-
prove suggested changes in the regu-
lation army coat, it is believed he
will approve several recommendations
concerning notifications of uniform
which have been received from Gem
eral Pershing.
The changes are all based upon
trench conditions as found by General
Pershing. 1t is suggested that the
overcoat and "slicker" be shortened
to knee length to remove the inter-
ference while walking in a narrow
trench. Another suggestion is that
knitted skull cap be added to the
equipment of every soldier, to be worn
under the trench helmet
General Pershing also recommended
the adoption of a jacket made of
leather and blanket lined, instead of
the present fleece-lined garment:
changes in the length of gloves and in
the type of puttees now issued also
were proposed.
