the bread situation in the District
among the first problems before him.
Capital to BE Example.
Owing to inslnuatIons that Wash
ington, the center of the Govern
ments food efforts, is likewise the
center Of high prices generally for
necessaries of life, the food admins
traitor named for the District will re-
ceive instructions from Mr.. Hoover
personally to undertake to inaugurate
reforms here that will set Washing
ton up as a place in which real things
have been accomplished. II food Au-
thorities know what they are talking
about better times are ahead for the
consumers of this city.
Food specialists today took cogni-
zance, in an informal way, of pub
lished statements in all directions
that bread and -four in England sell
far below the prices in this country,
although the English must pay high
transportation charges across the sea
for their supplies. 1t was pointed
out that the English government has
been buying all the wheat and selling
-four to the bakers at a serious loss.
Only recently, 1t was stated, the Eng
lish government appropriated S4O,-
600, 900 TO pay the difference between
what the wheat costs It and the prices
at which II sold hour TO bakers and
the people.
The same plan is followed in
France, IL IL stated. It would be
manifestiy impossible, without a sub
sidy from the government, for -four
to be sold in England cheaper than
here, IT was said today, for the reason
that the English government pays for
American wheat the exact price
Americans here pay for 1t.

METALS PRICE BILL
LIKELY TO co OVER
TILLNEXT SESSION

Despite the Administrations fixing
steel prices Congress Is likely to en-
act legislation which will give the
Government broad powers in respect
to prices of both iron and steel, and
may include copper and various other
basic metals and products.
The Senate Interstats Commerce
Committee tomorrow will give its last
hearing on the Pomerene bill provid-
ing for fixing Of prices on iron and
steel. Then it will take up the bill,
strengthen it. and report it.
May Go over to Next Session.
While the bill may not pass this SEES
sion, It is expected to pass early in
the winter. Senators who are for the
bill say it could pass this session If
the President would get behind II.
One reason why the steel interests
have assented to the fixing of prices
by the Government has been that they
hope to avoid legislation. That the
prices which the Government has
fixed are extremely liberal for the
steel interests is shown in the fact
that steel stocks have risen since the
prices were announced.
Agreement But Temporary.
Senators who are for legislation
point out that the agreement between
the steel concerns and the Govern
ment is but temporary, and could be
upset any time because not all the
steel and iron interests have gone into
il.
Furthermore, they believe the Gov
eminent should be clothed with broad
price-fixing powers Just as in the
case OF coal.

LUNCHEONS
WASTE, NOT
SAVE, FOOD
BY BILL PRICE.

Society women of Washington and
other parts of the country who have
inauguFated the plan of giving two
course luncheons and thres-course
dinners, believing this will conserve
the food supplies OF the country, are
doing directly the opposite, according
10 food administration officials today.
The good purpose and patriotism Of
society leaders is appreciated by the
food establishment Of the Govern
nent, which dislikes to issue bulletins
telling people what they should or
should not do in their homes, except
IN general way, but nothing could
be further from the wishes Of the
food experts than to see people resort
TO two and thFee-eourse meals.
In a two-couTse luncheon, it was
pointed out today, one dish will in
evitably be meat and in a three-course
dinner there will likewise be meat In
the short-course meals bread is also
q necessity. The inevitable result
Is that the proportion Of bread and
meat consumed will be far above
that Of longer course meal in which
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and fruits
play q prominent part
Eat without Waste.
There has never been a desire on
the part Of the food administration
70 have meals limited to a few
courses, and how socisty people got
the impression that they were helping
eonserYs the. food supply by doing
this Government experts do not know.
The motto OF the food authorities is
70 eat plentifully and wisely, but
without waste, doing everything pos
Hible to conserve meats, breads and
fats.
"To restrict the courses at lunch
cons and dinners means beyond ques-
tion," said an official today. shat
the consumption OF meats and breads
will be far greater than II the num-
Der of dishes served Is much larger
and includes the perishable articles
that can be obtained SO easily and
eheaply."
Sure Bread Is Coming Down.
The prediction was made today
that the price Of bread In Washing
ton and elsewhere will soon be re-
ducsd, officials pointing to the action
of master bakers in New York yes
terday in agreeing to bake q four
teen-ounce loaf that will be sold for
8 cents.
This organization represents what
are known as the little bakers" the
big bakers having another orgaliza-
tion. The little bakers, II was as
serted, have shown q willingness to
aid the food administration In reduc-
ing prices, although thousands of
them still have on hand supplies Of
nour bought at prices much higher
than now prevail. At cents for a

plies purchased some months ago. the |
bakers will barely get out without |

Mother Kept From Children For
Eight Weeks Tries TO

Having been prevented from visit
ing her children for the past eight
weeks, Minnie Geminder created a
scene in superior court just before
her husband, George Geminder. was
given a divorce from her by Judge
George Ford Friday morning. When
the two children entered the court
room before the trial started, Mrs.
Geminder ran toward them. scream
ing as she went.
Judge Ford ordered the children
taken out OF the room and when the
mother was torn from them, she
cried so loudly that the court told
her she too must leave unless she
became quiet
The husband was granted a di-
vorce on the ground Of adultery and
his parents were given the custody
Of the children. Mrs Geminder
filed a cross complaint against the
man, in which she accused him of
writing letters 10 other women and
receiving them from them. Two of
the letters were read in court. The
couple was married July 9, 1904 and
separated Feb. Il. this year.
