Representative John r. Farr of Pennsylvania is always
the lookout to better the conditions of the anthracite coal
miners of his state When the bill approprang funds for the
maintenance and establishment of mine experiment stations
before the House he did all he could impress upon his
colleagues the necessity for station in the anthracite regions
The congressman called attention to the fact that there
coal mined in Pennsylvania than all other states combined
About 100000 tons of the total anthracite With the great
shortage of labor that the mine have meet the
tremendous pressure for increased output fatalities have
largely increased Mr.. Farr believes if government
pertinent and safety station be installed in the anhra
cite region study could be made of existing conditions and
steps taken to insure the safety of the and the
general efficiency of the plants Those in charge of the BILL
however had determined to economic such projects and

To the Retailers

Victory flour (Which Is flour con-
tanning 20 per cent substitutes) may be
sold without any additional substi-
tutes, the retail dealer selling standard
wheat flour is required to carry in
stock either barley flour, corn meal or
corn flour, and with every sale OF
wheat flour must sell a combination OF
some one or more of these In pro-
portion of one pound substitutes to
each four pounds of wheat flour. IL
the customer SO demands, the following

substitutes at the rates Of one pound
to each four mounds Of wheat flour,
kaffir flour, milo flour, feterita flour
and meals, rice flour, oat flour, peanut
flour, bean flour, potato flour, sweet
potato flour and buckwheat flour.
Pure rye flour or meal may be sold as
a substitute, but must be sold in pro-
portion of at least two pounds of rye
with three pounds of wheGt flour. The
above regulations supersede the 90

The order in full and statement ac-
companying it is as Follows:
The recent careful survey by the
food administrators of the United
States, France, England and Italy of
the food resources of the 100000, 900
people fighting against Germany shows
that to maintain enough supplies and
necessary reserves against disaster,
there must be maintained in all coun-
tries a conservation of wheat -four dur
ing the coming year.
1T has been agreed that the wheat
bread of the allies shall contain 20 per
cent other grains than wheat and 1t is
only Just that we should bear ouI
share in this saving and our bread
should be at least universal with those
who are suffering more greatly from
the war than ourselves. Distribution
and transportation circumstances In
the United States render 1t necessary
to rely very largely on voluntary &C

ture.

below are for wheat bread and the
saving of wheat flour, but they ar.
not intended to displace the large ust

WHITMAN ADMITS
SMITH Is GOVERNOR
But He Will Insist Upon an
Inspection Of the Ballots
Cast.

Gov. Whitman acknowledged last
night for the first time that Alfred Z.
Smith will be the next Governor. At
the same time he asserted he would
proceed with the inspection OF the
ballots in the First Judicial district
after the certificate OF election has
been granted to Mr.. Smith, under the
provisions Of Justice Philblns order
as upheld by the Court OF Appeals.
Following this decision OF the court
on Tuesday the Governor yesterday
made the following statement:
AT the request of the State Com
mittee and entirely in accordance with
law a motion was made for tire in
spection of ballots. which is an abso-
lutte right of any candidate. This in
spection under decision OF the Court OF
Appeals can be had Immediately after
the granting OF the certificate OF cleo
tion by the Board of Canvassers.
\"The State Committee informs me
that there is every reason 10 believe
that while such inspection or recount
may not substantially alter the result
SO far as the election is concerned, it

frauds. which the public and the party
are entitled to know, and the commit
tee therefore desires that the inspec-
ton shall be had as provided by law.
"Of course, no one can confidently
predict what such inspection may re-
veal. =
There has never been any idea or
intention on my part 10 call special
session of the Legislature for the pur-
pose OF amending the law affecting a
matter where l myself might be con-
cerned, although I think 1t Is clearly
evident that some radical changes in
the election law should be made in the
public interest.
Mr.. Smith will receive the certifl-
cate of election, TO which he is clearly
entitled on the return of the election
inspectors. and he may be sure tina:

his induction into Office agreeable. 7

KERENSKY PRoTEGE A SUICIDE
Former Member of Russian Mis-
sion Hangs Himself Here.

Persons with trick for recalling
fieeting potentates may remember
that "A young man named KeTensky
was for a part Of the year 1917 the
overload OF Russia. In October OF that
year Kerensky sent to New York n
pleasing young man, Nicholas Semer-
nikoff, civil engineer and a member
OF the Russian Mission of Ways Of
Communication. IL was his duty 10
study American railways and to make
purchases in the name of the KereH-
sky Government.
Lenine and Trotsky, becloudlng the
Russian soclalistic dream, eclipsed

called twice TO keep an appointment.

MARRIAGE BLOCKADE
CONFRONTS SOLDIERS
Matrimonial Censor viii Pass
on Sudden LoUe Matches.

/ The sirens that were established by
the police to warn the populace OF an
impending air raid are not the only
sirens which welcome to these shores
the conuuering heroes of the American
army. Official cognizance of this truth
was taken by the United States Gov
eminent yesterday when Capt. Don l..
Monteith was detailed by the Provost
Marshal Generals Office to act as an
amatory censor in New York
The matrimonial censor Is posted to
protect men who debarl here from
hasty and improper marriages Every
soldier who seeks license to wed Is
compelled to fill form Of question
naire, and If Capt. Monteith does not
think the answers are satisfactory
licenses will not be Issued
As the granting of marriage licenses
is purely n function Of the State and
its delegated officials it is really none OF
the Federal Governments business, but
clerks in the License Bureau are not
splitting hairs over the legal phase of
the case. They will help the Provost
Marshal General carry out his protec-
tive scheme.
Capt Monteith said that many I'M
scrupulous women married soldiers to
get their insurance, and that in many
cases soldiers brought women to the
clerks when they had known them only
d short time and that in such cases the
women, smittcn by the uniform, agreed
to III advised matches.
