j. s. TO CONTROL
ALL BIC BAKERS
ONNOVEMBER1 |

Americas baking industry will be
under the license of the food admin
istratIon on November l. With the
licensing will come a decrease in the
cost of bread.
Herbert c. Hoover, food adminis-
traitor, is firm in this decision today.
Details of the licensing plan which
he will force upon the bakers are es
yet uncompleted by Hoover.
Two Plans In Mind.
There are two plans which Hoover
has in mind for the reduction OF
bread costs. One is the governmental
fixing of the price of a standard loaf
of bread, when it leaves the bakery.
The other plan calls for the fling Of
the weight of the loaf. and making
public the cost Of this loaf and leav-
ing the retail price a matter subject
to the pressure of public opinion.
After November 1 every bakery in
the country will be required to make
daily report to the United States
food administration. These reports
will show costs OF ingredients and
labor, as well as distribution costs.
1t has not been determined yet
whether all of these reports will be
sent here or whether they viii be
handled through the State food ad-
ministrators. From these daily re-
ports there will be compiled figures
showing the exact cost of bread in
every locality. These figures will be
released for publication at frequent
intervals.
May Exclude One-Oven SIen.
Because of the great amount of
work that this will entail the food
administration is considering the ex-
clusion of small bakeries, with but
one oven, from the licensing plan.
1t In declared. however, that IL the
one-oven bakeries are eliminated. the
licensing will still affect 20 per cent
of the baking industry in the United
States.

OFFICIALS Will DENY
SUGAR TO PROFITEERS

Retailers of sugar in Washington
and throughout the country who
charge eXorbitant prices are to be
denied supplies.
Sugar shortage in Washington will
be relieved early in November as q
result OF a contract signed at the
food administration, under the terms
OF which Louisiana sugar will be
shipped to the Eastern refineries be-
ginning early next week.
The price for this sugar has been
fixed at the refinery by the food ad-
ministration, as has Cuban and West
ern beet sugar. The wholesalers will
come under license November /. Re-
finers and distributors OF sugar are
being given instructions by the food
administration not to supply retailers
who charge too much to the public.
Retail sugar prices have given the
food administration much concern,
and officials are determined to go
after the men who boost prices after
receiving supplies at price fixed by
the Government.
The contract signed yesterday be-
tween the American Sugar Refining
ducers is for 600, 900 900 pounds of
raw sugar at total cost OF
S13, 3,OOo. 900.
Relief in the Eastern sugar short
age within a week or two was prom
Ised by the food administration today
arrangements 1t engineered
between Louisiana producers and the
American Sugar Refining Company
for 200. 900 900 pounds.
The prices agreed upon should re-
suit in sugar retailing for o cents, de-
creasing toward the end OF the year.

When Is a Storage

Or Dealer Can Tell
When is a storage egg fresh?

When is a storage egg fresh?
The egg expert of the food ad-
ministration tells this one: "In a
little Iowa town the storekeeper
sold fresh eggs for 40 cents. He
admitted he was heavily mixing
Chicago storage eggs with the
fresh variety.
There was a city retailer who
bought these eggs from the coun-
try storekeeper. believing them to
be fresh. The retailer marketed
them in the city as fresh. after
himself mixing them with stor-
age eggs he bought from Chi
cago."

FRENCH BOY HERE
IS YOUNGEST OF
ALL BOND BUYERS

Probably the youngest Liberty
bond owner in Washington is a
French boy, who is two and one-half
years old today.
George Bernard Oujeval, a little
rosy-cheeked boy, decked out in the
picturesque costume OF the French
zouave, celebrated the fact that he
Is two and one-half years old today
by showing money that was sent him
by his grandmother in Paris through
window at the Munsey Trust Com
pany and asking for a $50 Liberty
bond.
The little fellow speaks French
only in baby dialect, and English not
at all. His mother, Madame @. Oujc-
val, ''professeur de Francais," at 1918
Pennsylvania avenue, lifted him to
the window and explained to the
teller that "Donnezmoi un emprunt
de la Liberte" meant "Give me a
Liberty bond"
known To Many.
The sturdy, bright-eyed Frenchman
is known to many people in Washing
ton. He always wears '1e turco," his
gay uniform Of the French Zouave. It
has a red fez with a yellow tasseI,
coat and trousers of French blue
trimmed in yellow braid. a red belt,
and white knee leggins. He always
carries his toy gun.
His Belgian father Sadi Oujeval,
served for several years as a private
in the Belgian army, and Is now q
captain of walters at the Willard
Hotel. His mother, a pretty French
woman, teaches French in Washing
ton, and is very proud of her little
boy. George was born in Paris, but
the family soon moved to Belgium.
The family was driven from their
home by the invasion of ''les boches,"
as they call the German soldiers.
They came here as refugees to Amer
lea eight months ago, and came d.
rectly to Washington. Here they are
doing all they can to pay the German
soldiers for destroying their home,
and forcing them to flee for their
lives.
Likes Washington.
George likes Washington. Here is
what he says about 1t: 'Je suis bien
content d'etre a awshington loIn des
boches. lei on a des grands jardins
pour jouer. Et pIis on peut METRE
du sucre dams son lait ct manager
du pain at du beurre"
This means that he is very happy
in Washington, far away from the
German soldiers, where he can play
in the large parks, have good sugar,
and eat bread and butter.
81 want him to speak English"
said his mother, but / would rather |
for him to learn under some person |
that speaks 1t better than I do"
