London's Food Problems

Increased activity of the Food
Controllers Department would seem
to be indicated by prosecutions OF
traders and others for contraven-
tions of the numerous official orders.
Miss Theresa Fawkes, of Great
Glen, was at Leicester on Saturday
fined 60 for feeding pony on bread.
1t was stated that the pony was
net. and had been given bread for
thirty years. Sixteen loaves were de-
livered at the house for two persons.
The police found about four pounds
of bread in the stable. John Watkin,
who fed the pony, was fined FL.
At West London Police Court AL
fred Bernard Hemmings, baker and
confectioner, Fulham-road, Fulham;
his manager, William John Wines,
and an assistant, Edith Bonham,
were bound over for exposing for
sale pastry to which edibles had been
added after the mixing of the dough.
The defense was that there was a
difficulty in understanding the Order:
The Magistrate said the Order was
n comprehensive one, and 1T would
appear that almost anything that was
not plain and unadorned came under
its operation. He thought the in
tention of the Government was that
nothing should be exposed for sale
that was in the least attractive 10
the public or that would encourage
them to be greedy. Perhaps" he
added. that will be good for them
and good for the country. At all
events, it is not an easy Order to un-
derstand,"
At North London Police Court
Frank Wheldon, managing director
of Messrs. w. Humphrey (Limited) +,
bakers and confectioners, of Seven
Sisters-road, N, was summoned for
exposing for sale light pastries. The
defendant informed the police that
the trade drew a distinction between
puff pastry and short" pastry, and
contended that the latter did not
come within the scope of the order
The magistrate held that the words
of the order, Tight or fancy pastry"
included both puff" and Short"
crust. To hold otherwise would be
to reduce the order to nonsense. He
imposed a. nominal fine of 40s.
At willesden Ada Stovey, assistant

sack of silver pesos. He fled into
the State of Guerrero. Zapata sent
for young officer of his staff and
said:

Without remark the young officer

the pursuit. For weeks he trailed
the fugitive back and forth through
hostile country. At last he captured
him and brought him, bound hand
and foot, into a room where Zapata
was holding a conference.

"He is my youngest brother" re-
piled the officer. "I obeyed your or

ed, pointing his finger in the pris-
oner's face. Your brother has

Privilege; Not Requirement

Some confusion has arisen rela-

scribers for one $50 bond or one
500 bond to pay the full amount at
once, with the assurance of an imme-
diate allotment in full and delivery
of an interim certificate at the earl
lest possible moment.
1t should be clearly understood
that this is a privilege and not a re-
quirement. The subscriber for one
$50 bond or one 500 bond may avail
himself of this privilege of full pay
ment, or he may pay 2 per cent.

provided for other bonds; that is, 18
per cent on June 2S. 20 per cent on
July 80, 80 per cent on August 15
and 80 per cent on August 80.
The subscriber, therefore, for a
$50 bond or 500 bond has the as
sured certainty of obtaining a bond
either by the cash payment in full
or the payment in the stated INSTALL
nents. Subscribers for larger
amounts will have to await the allot-
ment when all the subscriptions are

A Part For ALI

If there are those who feel that
they are barred from service to their
country by the restrictions of the
CONSUMPTION registration they should
read the address issued to the old
soldiers at Leavenworth by s. G.
Cooke, governor of the national
home. In it he says: "The country
needs your encouragement, your in
nuence and your thoughtful effort in
all ways to conserve it's resources. to
hearten lts efforts, to encourage and
stimulate the new generation and in
every way to strengthen its firing
line"
That reflects what should be the
real spirit of America in this crisis.
The country is calling only its young
men to bear arms, but it is calling
all to bear part. The army can do
its part at the front only If those who
stay behind do their part back of
the line.-Kansas City Star.

Peetic4 IT,
Per~oqeOo~io
BY the Ex-Committeeman

The direct inheritance tax bill, the
only revenue raising measure of any
consequence to get by the Legis-
lature, is now assuming q big place
in the General Assembly. The bill
is in the hands of the Governor. who
has indicated his dissatisfaction with
the provisions relative to employ
ment of attorneys. Under the act
these are placed in the hands of the
Auditor General.
The bill is designed to raise
S5,000,000 a year additional revenue
and all appropriation bills are based
or this sum. If the Governor vetoes
the measure it will mean rebuilding
of the whole appropriation structure
and no end of fuss in the Legislature.
The leaders of the Legislature have
refused to recall the bill and the
Governor is standing pat on his in
tention to veto it. The time will be
up next week.
Owing to this new snarl, the talk
of the Legislature making its ad-
journment on June % a recess in
stead of final adjournment has been
revived. There are some legislators
who contend that the Legislature can
be adjourned to a future date with
cut difficulty and that there are
precedents for it. Administration
men are doing their best to dis
courage this idea and owing to the
conditions produced by the prolonged
sessions members are declaring for
quitting on June 2S.
The whole situation is to-day as
much up in the air as II was a week
ago and fresh council of the older
statesmen of the Senate may be held
Monday.
Representative F. B. Boyer. the
Penrose floor leader, was at Wash
ington to see Senator Penrose. 1t is
expected that the new Penrose plans
will be heard of Monday. The de-
feat of the bill to take the police and
firemen out of politics in Philadel-
phia has strengthened the admins
tration forces in the House and they
are now setting sail for the small
council bill.
Some joker got loose in the
Capitol late yesterday and posted the
following just outside of the hall of
the House of Representative to show
how the feeling runs:
"A member of the House repre-
senting a county of not more than
one million eight hundred thousand
(1,SO0,O00) inhabitants. not less than
five thousand (5,000) inhabitants,
takes this method of procuring
unanimous consent to introduce a
bill at this time. The bill will pro-
vide as follows:
"Fisrt. Every head of family in
Pennsylvania shall receive the sum
Of five thousand dollars $4,000 per
annum. the same to be paid by the
State Treasurer. All dependents not
members of families and all unmar-
ried persons not living at home shall
receive not less than twenty-five hun
dred dollars (S2, 5000.
Second. AL taxes, state, munich
pal and local, are hereby abolished.
Third. The Legislature shall ad-
iourn until the first Monday of jan
uary. Ammo Domini 2017.
"Members will at once mail their
consents to The Member from

Every Citizens Duty

Meantime. the country is carrying
on another great movement in be-
half of the war-namely, the effort
to popularize the great government
loan, not but that it would be fully
subscribed otherwise, but because
this loan is merely paving the way
for others, and the great apathy of
the public toward investing in bonds
must be broken down in order to
insure future subscriptions from tho
rank and file. This same apathy
existed in England among the mass
es, when the first loans were brought
out there. There the Indifference
was gradually dissipated, and al
