New York Eating
War Bread To-day,
By Hoover Rules
Regulations for Standard
lied Loaf and Roll Go
Into Effect

New York City to-day is theoreti-
cally eating war bread at the theoretic
price Of seven cents a loaf.
The food administration rules re-
garding the standardized loaf and fix
ing the maximum ingredients of sugar,
milk and fats went into effect yester-
day. But hundred Of the small bakers
didn't know what the rules were or
when they became effective. The larger
bakeries did know and followed the
rules 20 the letter. The price Of seven
cents was merely a hope expressed by
the local food administration authori-
ties. TO which nobody paid any atten-
ton except one chain store company.
Every other baker and grocer and
delicatessen in New York City sold
the standardized or unstandardized
loaf Yesterday at s. 9 and 10 cents as
usual. There was no indication that
the price would come down in the near
future. Food Administration officials
felt certain, however, that all bakers IN
the city would be making the stano-
ardized loaf and roll to-day, so tnat
New York would be on war bread diet
entirely tomorrow morning.
Rules for Standardized Bread
Federal Food Administrator Williams
said he believed the standardized LOAF
contained so per cent wheat and 20
rer cent either corn or rye. The regula-
lions issued by Food Administrator
Hoover on November t., and approved
bv President Wilson, make no men
tion at all Of tie kind of -four 10 be
used. The following rules are laid
Down for bread manufacturers:
That the loaf shall weigh l6 ounces,
unwrapped twelve hours after baking.
That the roll shall weigh not less
than one ounce or more than 3 ounces
twelve hours after baking.
That the standard weight shall be
determined by averaging the weight
of not less than twenty-five loaves, or
Eve dozen rolls.
That not more than three pounds Of
cane or beet sugar or more than three
and a half pounds of corn sugar be
used for sweetening per unit of 1876
pounds Of any flour or meal o. mixture
thereof. If sweetened condensed milk
is used, the amount of sugar in the
condensed milk must be deducted from
the amount of other sugar used.
Restriction on Milk
That not more than six pounds OF
fresh milk. from which the butter Fat
has been extracted, be used pei unit OF
lq6 pounds of -four or meal.
That no shortening be used 20 eX-
ceed two pounds of compounds con-
tanning no more than 10 per cent Of
animal fats nor more than two pounds
of vegetable fats.
Bread may be manufactured IN "a
ounce loavcs or in multiples Of the l6-
ounce loaf.
Mr.. Williams announced that the
Federal Food Board had fifteen or
twenty inspectors working in the city
to see that the rules Of the food admin
istrations were observed
The Federal Food Administrator said
that several more complaints OF over
charging for sugar had been received
lately. and are being investigated. The
board moved into new quarters, at 22O
West Fifty-seyenth Street, yesterday.

Criticises Appointment of

Didn't Watch Fusion
Mayor-elect Requests That
Action on West Side Plan
Be Deferred

Mayor-elect Hylsn yesterday classed
the Citizens Union as among flake
reform organizations" He put the
Bureau OF Municipal Research in that
said that he intended to let the people
know from time to time call about
these fake reform organizations"
The attention Of the Mayor-elect had
been attracted by the announcement
that the Citizens Union would employ
Leonard ". Wallstein. Commissioner
Of Accounts. after the first of the year
as counsel to a new committee on city
government, which is being organized
TO keep a watchful eye on the incom-
ing Tammany administration.
commissioner Wallstein was a
part Of the Fusion administration
which squandered millions of the peo-
pies money" said Judge Hylan. with

was drawing a salary from the people

Asks Delay on West Side Plan
The Mayor-clect sent a letter yester-
dav 20 Frank l.. Dowling, President of
the Board Of Aldermen and acting
Mayor in the absence Of Mayor Mitchell,
asking him TO see that the Board Of
Estimate took no action whatever in
regard TO the West Side improvement
between now and December 81. He
urged that the whole matter be left in
abeyarce until the new administration
took office. The Mayor-elect made q
similar request recently when the joint
conference committee OF the Public
Service Commission and the Board Of
Estimate requested the latter body 10
rescnd the city ordinance of lS41
under which the New York Central
Railroad obtained certain rights to the
use Of the thoroughfares on the West
Side.
Mayor-eleot Hylan also wrote Will
lam G. Wilcox. president cf the Board
of Education. requesting him 10 post
none any action prior to January ! on
contracts for alterations in the public
schools to meet the requirements OF
the Gary system. The Mayor-elect said
that he understood the board was con-
templating the letting Of such con-
tracts in certain schools. He pointed
out that as there would be no Board
of Education after December 81 until
he had appointed the new and smaller
board. and no Gary system, the letting
of such contracts at this time would
be ineXpedie2t.
Confers on New School System
Mayor-elect Hylan was in confer
ence with William Ettinger and other
associate superintendents Of schools
yesterday. for the purpose Of working
out new system in the schools. Asked
what it would be, the Mayor-eiect said
that it had not yet been wholly de-
cided. but that it would be a combina-
ton Of different plans, exclusive of the
Gary plan.
The Mayor-elect has set December
IS definitely as the day for closing hls
books for applications for appoint
ments in the new city administration.
He will begin then to weed out the
"undesirables," and may announce
some of his appointments prior 70

THIS MOTHER GAVE HER ALL
Touching Incident Of Sacrifice on the
Altar of Her country's Need.

One Of the touching incidents Of
General Lyons march to Wilson creek
was that of Tennessee mother bring
ing her little boy TO the captains tent
and offering him for the service Of his
country. The boys father had been
killed in battle and the mother and
boy were alone In the world. The
bright eyes and alert bearing of the
little chap, for he was scarcely thir-
teen years of age, caught the eye or
the captain and he asked what thae
boy could do. II can drum" he said
proudly stretching himself to his full
height. And he could as the fifer
soon found out as he played "The
Flowers of Marlborough" most diff
lcult piece to follow with the drum.
Madam, I'll take the boy" said the
raptain. The mother kissed her boy
and turning to the captain said:

boy she said as she placed her hand
on his eager little head, "God bless
You, my boy. You're all / have left,

marches from Rolla TO Springfield it
was amusing to see the long-legged
lifer wading through the mud with our
, little drummer hero mounted on his
back. During the fight at Wilson
creek the CHEEKY fife and brave drum
beat time for the soldier boys in bat
tle. The fight led down into deep
ravine and it was not long before our
drummer boy was in the midst eS the
fray. That night the detail on guard
duty near the raylne thought he

the relief came he asked permission TO

He followed the sound of the drum
and soon found our hero seated on the
ground with his back against tree
and his faithful drum hanging on Il
bush. He dropped his drum sticks as
the guard came up and exclaimed:
"Oh, corporal, am so glad to see you.
