ONLY ESSENTIAL LINES
TO GET IRON AND STEEL
War Industries Board Provides for
Constantly Increasing Gov
ernment Needs.

a general policy has been outlined
BY the War Industries Board, where
by the production Of American steel
mills win be applied only to essential
uses. Manufacturers. 3obbers and re-
tatlers In iron and steel are asked to
police distribution, 20 that there may
be no violation Of the spirit Of tho
policy.
Curtaflments Of Industries using
iron and steel WIN be effective. the
board said. with ~ lfet1e disturb
to industries ~ war requirements
will permit
The constantly increasing steel re-
ouirements, the board says. Of the
American government and Its allies
for direct and indirect war needs are
80 enormous as to absorb virtually all
Of the constantly expanding produc-
ing capacity Of the country. These
demands must always be met 100 per
cent. and promptly.
'.The result Is obvious the boards
announcement adds. There viii be
comparatively little iron and steel
left to distribute to those industries

sumers for application. to non-War

VEGETABLE AND BERRY
PRICES TO Be GIVEN
Daily Guide for D. c. Housekeepers
Expected to Keep Down Prof
iteering and Price Boosting.

Housewives in Washinkt0 are to
be kept posted daily rsx1rd3ae the
condition Of the vegetable aad Aegsy
market, together with prevafSnS
prices. when the District foed aa.
ministration. working in conjunction
with the bureau Of markets Of the
Department Of Agriculture. puts into
effect. in few days, the Housekeep-
ers' Daily Guide.
This guide will contain q brief and
accurate account OF market condi-
will acquaint the buying public with
the prices paid for the various food
articles on the wholesale market It is
also probable that the buyer will be
informed what price he should pay
for the various articles, although
such quotations will not be as abso-
lutte as those quoted on the weekly
fair price list. The perishable ma
ture Of the vegetables and berries
makes price fixing impracticable. ac-
cording to opinions expressed by Of
ficers of the local food administra-
ton and the bureau OF standards.
However. publication of this daily
guide Is expected by officers Of these
two government agencies to go q long
way toward checking price boosting
and preventing profteering. If the
guide is read carefully each day these
officers believe the housewives will be
able to purchase with moro wisdom
and will save money.
Two representatives OF the bureau
Of markets conferred with the officials
of the District Food Administration to-
day, and it is considered likely the
publication Of this daily guide will
start the latter part of the week. The
bureau of markets has sent to New
England for one of its market experts
to report for duty here as soon as pos
sible- This expert will attend the
early morning farmers and commits
sion house sales, and by SO doing keep
3 strict account of the prices being
paid by the retail dealers.
