CLUB OWNERS AWAIT
PROPOSED WAR TAX

New York, May T-International
League club owners will await details az
the proposed war tax on baseball before
making plans for its collection accord
ing to President Ed Barrows today, Al
though the season TO date has been
marred by bad weather, the club own
ers are not planning retrenchnent OF
any sort. There is little chance that the
clubs will reduce the number of players,
The limit now is sixteen men, exclusive
OF the manager, and the magnates do
not believe they could operate success
fully with fewer players.

LOSS IN BOARDING FLOUR.
Agriculture Department Issues
Warning Against Practice.

Housewives are warned that at
tempts to hoard and store flour often
mean a false economy. in q bulletin
issued by the Department Of Asricul-
turo.
Sound -four milled from standard
wheat exhibits little tendency to spoil
when stored properly, 1t 10 stated. But
there is q considerable loss in flour
through improper storage, especially
during summer months.
Flour dealers naturally have to
carry in storage an amount of flour
proportionate to the current needs of
their trade" the department states.
"Housekeepers on the farm and in the
city should purchase flour in accord
ance with their needs only. 1t is false
economy for the housekeeper to pur-
chase larger amounts Of -four than can
be used within q reasonable length of
time. This may be a barrel for a large
family; more often 1t will be the fifty
pound sack. Any storage Of -four in
excess Of the consumers needs consti-
tutes boarding. which, under present
circumstances, is an unethioal and rep-
rehensible practice, Of no profit to the
Individual who practices Il, but inju-
rious to tho best interests Of the
people"
