FIVE-CENT LOAF
IS HOOVER'S AIM
FOR WAR BREAD
'ood Administrator Believes
II Ounces Can Be Sold
For Nickel at Profit

Washington. Sept. ia standard
oaf of bread for the 40,000,00O
americans who depend on the
bakery to supply them with the staff
II life is expected to be the achieve
nent of Herbert c. Hoover, national
ood administrator, working now in
conjunction with the. war emergency
Poard of the Association of Master
3akers in an effort to solve the vital
problem created by the entrance of
var prices into the bread business.
This board, composed of twelve
nen, should make its final report to
Ir. Hoover this week. 1t is the hope
( the food administration, with the
cooperation of the bakers of the
ountry, that the price of bread to
he consumer will be stabilized pres
ntly and brought down to figure
commensurate with the reduction of
/ 8 in the cost of barrel of flour,
which resulted from the fixing of
he 1920 wheat price.
But one thing is certain. No matter
What the bakers say, and 1t is known
hey are giving the food administra-
ion not little trouble, government
4 al action will be resorted to in or
FER to guarantee a fair price for
bread to the consumer. Already, 1t
IS pointed out, the estimated 60 per
bent. of the American people who
|a home-baked bread are beginning
10 reap the benefits of the decreased
post of wheat and the reduced price
pr flour, and Mr.. Hoover is determin-
Rd that the other 40 per cent. the
people who live in the cities and buy
rom the bakeries, shall in the same
Fegree, plus the actual cost of baking
bread, plus fair, and only q fair,
profit to the baker, be enabled to
benefit from the lowered cost of the
law wheat.
To Fix Price Standards
The present outlook is tn Presi-
|ient Wilson will promulga bread
prices, or standards, just as he will
|hortly announce the official price of
foal at the retailers. And in the
|ame manner that coal dealers will
be licensed by the government bread
bakeries will be licensed and held
|trictly to the provisions of the Ii
Fense, which will set forth the price
pr standard. Violation of the provi-
|ions of the license will mean that
he baker will be thrown out of bust
less and his plant requisitioned and
operated in accordance with the
bread regulations, whatever they
|hall be. No baker, large or small,
|gill be exempt from the necessity of
being licensed.
What the standard for q loaf of
bread is to be is question now wide
" discussed, but the food admins
|ration has consistently hoped and
himed for a fourteen-ounce loaf to
pc sold for five cents. Inasmuch as a
|oaf of this size is bringing ten cents
IN many places, the benefit to the
consumer of a realization of this aim
Is strikingly apparent.

to strain the juice through fine
cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then
this lotion will keep fresh foI

commission by Manager of Revenue
Clair J. Pitcher, the eN-offcio assessor,
this week.
The real and personal property in

gas companies enter a protest against
their valuations and the protest is sus-
tanned. These companies have been
successful for several years in secur-

The increases are generally on per-
sonal property, amounting to approx
imately S1S,O00,000, of which nearly
SS.5oO,O0O is represented in improve
ments on city lots and unplatted land,
largely due to the building activity

crease of nearly 100000 on automo-
biles. Horses, mules and horse-drawn

4 BRITISH VIEW OF WILSON.

Perhaps the best substitute for a
historical perspective on men and
events of our times is the perspective
of distance. Frank Smith is an out
standing figure among British demo-
Gratis. He is n labor leader, an agi-
tator and politician of the best sort.
In letter written on July 1 at Lon
don. he says: you will be glad to
know that every utterance of Wilson
is followed here both closely and SYM
pathetically. His influence is remark
able. Everyone feels he is straight
man. and even when he goes to war is
no 'jingo' l don't think any Amer
lean leader, since Lincoln, has ever
rripped the imagination of Britain as
Wilson has done. He seems TO have
brought to many timid folks feeling
of security, not only as regards the
terrible business now going on, but
when peace shall be possible. Truly
with the hour came the man"

TYPOGRAPHICAL

At n largely attended special meet
ing of Denver Typographical Union
No. 40, held Friday afternoon at 5:l5
o'clock, last week, in Horan Hall. a
compromise agreement on :hc job
scale was ratified by four-fifths ma
jority vote of six months members
present 1t became effective Satur-
day. September |, and extends for a
period of three years. The new scale
carries S2S. so for day-,vork and $3.50
for night work, an increase of $3.50
per week. In the original scale as
proposed by the scale committee an in
crease of 81 from S26 was demanded,
which would have made the day Job
scale $50 and the night scale S33. The
employing printers offered $2S, and
the compromise was at the figures
stated above |. T. U. Representative
Frank ]. Pulver conducted the final
negotiations with committee of em-
ploying printers. The new agreement
has been signed up with thirty-two
commercial printing houses of the
city. A vote of thanks was given by
the union to the scale committee and

totally ignored the Colorado Industrial
Commission in negotiating the scale,
refusing to give thirty days notice
of proposed demands and later dcclln-
ing the good offices" of the commits
sion when it elected to intercede. Sign
