 NEWS PRINT SHOWN

Washington, July z1.-Marked improve ment in news print paper conditions, but little change in the consumption of book paper, were reported today by the fed eral trade commission. The attention of newspaper publishers was again called to the preliminary conservation order of the war industries board, recently made public, which the commission estimates will lower paper consumption at least 5 per cent.
 There was a. decrease in the percentage of returns and free copies of publications using both news print and book paper in June. More rigid economies also were practiced, especially by newspaper pub fishers.
 Important Sunday and daily news papers still show high returns one of D per cent and another IS per cent
 Monthly magazines also had excessive returns being as high as 40 per cent, while two weelSies had 20 per cent of returns
 The figures indicate that some pub fishers are not yet curtailing wastes as much as might be done," the commission warned

 This condition is due to the con- formation of the Warrior water shed which furnishes a steady and constant flow of about the same amount or water the year round, except for oc- casionaI quick swells which almost as quickly run out.
 PROPOSED CORDOVA LOCK
 With the proposed lock above Cor dova and the two-foot additions to the locks already built, steady eight foot stage will be available from point 30 or 40 miles above Cordova all the way to Mobile.
 On the trip down the river Satur- day dozens of motor boats. naptha launches, houseboats and other small craft were noted along both banks of the stream all the way from Cordova to Tuscaloosa. Many of these evil dently had met with accidents, how ever, as they lay half submerged where they had been moored to the banks At one place a crowd of men and women, standing on the bank, sent up the s signal as the Nugent approached and heading in to shore expecting to find that some dire ca lamity had berallen the campers. NIT Gatlin was greatly chagrined on learn ing that they merely wanted assist ance in raising a sunked motor boat that stood on end with it's stern bare ly showing above the water As the Nugent carried no apparatus for rals- ing vessels no relief could be given and the disappointed party dejectedly watched the Nugent as she again headed down stream and slowly dis peared around nearby bend.
 WARRIORS POSSIBILITIES
 It is estimated that the Warrior. fully developed, could furnish enough power to operate every factory, fur mace, mill, mine and public utility in Alabama, and could transport every ton of freight originating along it's entire course, including the Birmingham dis trict, or coming thereto.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys a loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2OO,000,OO0 a year toward the
cost Of it.
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 5
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
l6 cents.
