REGULATIONS ON SUBSTITUTES FOR.
 WHEAT CHANGED
Use of Rye Flour to Limited Extent Permitted-Other
 Baking Rules.

Hartford, July 24.---Several impor- tant changes in the regulations gov erning licensed bakers were an- Dounced today by the Food Admins tration. Until further notice, rye flour or rye meal may be used as a partial wheat flour substitute It will be permitted as a substitute up to one-fifth .of the substitute require ments, as for example, a batch of dough for Victory bread may con- tain 75 pounds of wheat flour twenty pounds of any of the present substi- tutes and five pounds of rye flour.
 In certain sections of the country large stocks of rye flour were carried over from last years ha=Sest and in other sections this years rye crop is already being harvested. MT. Sco- vile said today, he believed this op- portunity to use rye flour as a partial substitute will materially assist in the use of the other substitutes.
 The period for the operation of the 70 per cent. flour rule, governing bak- ers of all products, other than bread and rolls, has been extended from July 31 to August 31. This means that all licensed bakers must continue to curtail to September 1, the use of flour in sweet dough products, which must not exceed 70 per cent. of their output during the month of August 1917, or one-siXth of what they have used for the past six months.
 From now on there is no regulation as to what kind of shortening shall be used by bakers, but economy and conservation are urged, whether ami .mal fats, vegetable fats and oils, compounds or butter are used. In answer to many inquiries, MT. Sco- vile said today that there have been some premature and unauthorized re- ports to the effect that the list of substitutes might be changed and that the percentage to be used in Vic tory bread might be lowered.
 Mir Scoville added there were no indications at present that the pres ent percentages for the sale of sub stitutes with wheat flour and for the use of substitutes by bakers in Vic- tory bread will be changed. He was certain that there would be no change whatsoever before November l, and possibly none then. Bakers through out Connecticut were advised by the Fcod Administration today that they must make their reports promptly on time and that it is a violation of the law to sell malt extract or malt flour to individuals, these products being purchased by them solely for use in their bakery products. MT Scoville also emphasized the fact that rye is not a substitute for sale to house. wives and that the "ffty-f1fty'' sales rule on substitutes continues in force.

The first is that of Ella F. Schrayer against Hubert E. Bishop of Nor walk, on defendants motion to have a verdict of S5,OOO damages secured in the Superior Court set aside. In this case a driver of a truck in the employ of the defendant struck and killed a boy near Norwalk. The driver had turned aside from the main road to get his lunch and the defendants claimed that such being the case he was on his own business and not that of the company. The Superior Court decided that such was not the case but that the defend- ants were liable and the Supreme Court finds no error. Opinion was by Justice Shumway.
 The second case is somewhat com plicated and involved a number of points of law. Barnith Sachs of Trumbull, under two contracts, agreed to put up a building and furnish all material on a plot of ground owned by Mrs. Jennie Nussenbaum. This work was finished in November. 1917, and on the 30th of that month Sachs filed a mechanics lien on the property for the amount of $S,3OO, which was due him.

BETTER EXPRESS
 SERVICE COMING
Improvement by Sept. 1 on Government Pooled Lines
 Is Predicted.

New York, July 24.-For the bene- fit of the big and the little, the indi- vidual and the corporate shippers, who within the next half dozen weeks must use the express service of the country, the promise was given yes terday that by the first of September the service will be running smoothly ard the cry of lost and delayed prop erty will be still.
 The promise emanated from the traffic department of the American Express Company, which in this re- zion of the Government controlled railroad and express service is the main stem of all the big and little ex- press concerns, which were anSlga- mated as one institution twenty days ago and placed under the control of William G. McAdoo as Director -Gener- al of Railroads. Already consider able headway has been made in the task of welding into a single efficient system all the loose and overlapping ends of the express business as it was in the pre-war days and within a few more weeks the system will be fully organized.
 1 When the Government stepped in and practically federalized the express companies matters were at a sorry pass. The war had taken thousands of express employees and with the heavy strain placed by war freights on the railroads the business of receiving sending and delivering ordinary ex- press matter began to sag and bend.
 Trunks. boxes, barrels and paper packages began to disappear. Or when they did not disappear entirely they tarried long in transit, sometimes weeks, sometimes months. Thou sands of dollars worth of merchan- disc spoiled on sidings or became worthless through being kept at ter mountainously upon undermanned and incapably manned staffs
 The companies needed men and couldn't get them. Even if the mili- tary service had not drawn a man from their equipment they still would have been swamped with a mass of business which piled upon them. And meantime they were in competition company with company, and the emergencies of this competition had created all manner of offices, officers stations, bureaus and transportation arrangements which helped to hold business, but showed on the books al loss.
 What has happened since the com.
 panies all went under a single contro is visible instantly in any of the ole express executive offices in the mum.
 Der of unoccupied official desks. The officers all had, in the competitive ) days, duties which, while they were = valuable to the individual company
 never by any chance speeded a sui case or a basket of peaches on 1t. , way. Now, under MT. McAdoo the
 executives who used to sit at them are
 all as busy as bees, but their worl takes them into the rough and tum ble of express traffic management and the dust gathers on the polished l mahogany.

keeping sugar certificates which

explained to one storekeeper who
boosted of periodically saving sugar
by not cashing a 300-pound certificate
for September when applying for her
allotment.
"You had in your possession GER
tificate for 800 pounds which no one
but yourself could obtain. When you
did not get the sugar and held the Ger.
tificate, you did not use it, and no one
else could either.

When you go into a store and see

stitutes, food posters decorating the
wall, the clerk writing down your
two-pounds sugar purchase in his
sugar record book while advising
you to try new Victory Mixed
Flour, do you stop to realize what
all this means? 1t shows that the
store owner is fully awake to his
opportunities as a medium for
spreading a knowledge of the war
situation and needs among the peo-
pie of his community. He is aware
of the influence which merchants
exert upon the minds of the twenty
million people who shop each day,
and he is accepting the responsible
