Ban Put on Canned
Soups and Beans
Tin Cans Needed for Perishablc
Goods, Committees Rule

Washington, May 16.-The shortage
in tin cans will be partly met by the
decision of the committees in charge of
the tin can situation to see that no
soups or baked beans are canned after
the present stocks have been used up.
This will mean a saving of about 20o,-
900 tin cans.
The committees are agreed that
beans are not perishablc goods. and
that therefore the tin cans ordinarily
needed for this line should be released
for conserving perishable goods. The
committees also see no reason for the
canning of soups, their argument being
that there is plenty Of material all
during the year for making soups at
home.
The tin can situation was discussed
at long conference to-day in the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Dr. Edward Ewing Pratt, chief
of the bureau. presiding.

THE participation Of the Councl. OF

warning against fraternizlng with the

"A great factor of the next month
will be the All-Russian Congress OF
