would use some substitute for wheat

In yeast bread as much as 25 per

Some Menus Worked Out by Experts

Do you know that there are mill
lions of bushels of potatoes in the
United States in excess of the usual
supply at this time Of year, and that,
unless people generally eat more pOta-
toes than they ordinarily do, millions
Of bushels of good food will be lost
at time when nearly the whole world
is suffering for food? Potatoes are
bulky and heavy and cannot well be
transported over seas. The United
States must eat its own potatoes and
release other foods for export.
Eating potatoes every day is duty
and eating potatoes every meal can
be made pleasure. Following are
some recipes, worked out by the cook
ing experts Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, covering
every meal for two days. Similar
recipes, both economical and palatable,
have been worked out covering every
meal for week.

SLASHES PLAZA
PROPOSITION
Head of Local Furniture
House Says City Should
Buy Bonds.
CALLS PROPOSED
PLAZA COURAGE"
Idea Is to Deceive Voters
And Taxpayers of
Bridgeport.

The following communication has
been received by the Times from
Charles B. Buckingham, president of
ers, protesting against the proposed
Plaza. Mr.. Buckingham states in
his letter that it would be more pa
triotic for the city to turn the money
over to the purchasing of Liberty
Bonds. The communication is as
follows:
Editor of Bridgeport Times:
Being naturally much interested
in this proposed Plaza outrage I
noted particularly one statement in
our local papers declaring that from
70 to rs per cent. of the people who
are to be driven out of house and
home had procured other locations.
Knowing through a previous care
full canvas, that some 500 dodgers were
to be driven out, in addition to IS
families and come 40 store-keepers.
it seemed proper to make an investi-
cation as to this very improbable
statement.
'This investigation shows that less
than a half dozen people, who are
thus driven into the street, have the
slightest intimation of where they can
find a place suited to their means of
livelihood.
'Of course this statement has been
sent abroad for the purpose of in
ffuencing the Common Council in its
action tonight, and for the purpose
Of moulding public opinion by de-
ceiving voters, taxpayers and residents
of this city.
This cannot succeed as thousands
already understand the matter and
well know that it is proposed to have
the city spend a million and a hall
of money for the purpose of produc-
ing a corresponding lessening of the
grand list, with the inevitable raise OF
tax rate.
while we are protesting so much
about patriotism, housing projects
ETC., we ought not to allow such an
unbusinesslike, improper scheme t.
succeed, and it would be far better tc
procure proper authority to turn this
money into the purchase Of Liberty
Bonds"

STOCK MARKET

The more confident tone of the war
bulletins gave Impetus to an upward
at the opening of today's
stock market. Speculative isues
formed the basis of the early deal

making relatively little Roadway.
Pools were active in Alcohol, Distil-

ing and New Haven featured the rail-
roads, shippings showing irregularity.
Noon-On the absence of pressure
and receipt of further encouraging
foreign advices the market strength
ened in the more important depart
ments during the morning. Leading
war issues, especially steels and equip
ments, were one to two points over
last weeks final quotations and rail-
roads developed stronger tendencies
with shippings. Coppers and oils also
made material improvement. Trading
became dull at midday, but gains were
fully maintained. Liberty 315s sold

fabrics and wooden goods, the pro-

largely under government control and
is daily becoming more SO. Along
with the agitation to fix the price of
cotton goods is renewed talk of fixing
the price of cotton, the most import

government control. Increased gov
ernmental activity in managing rail-
roads is also seen in recent purchase
of 100000 freight cars and $4,000 To-
comotives, the cost of which will ap-
proximate 100000. Recent rail-
road reports have been very discour-
aging and dividends on certain roads
are more or less uncertain. 1t is re-
membered, however, that these re-
ports cover the worst period of the
railroad crisis and bad weather, and
that the resources of the government
will unquestionably be utilized to
tide the companies over their tenn
porary crisis. Meanwhile embargoes
have been removed, and most of the
transportation lines are now enjoying
a large traffic at better rates. A sur
vey of the business situation leaves
one very distinct impression, viz, that
government sway over business has
not yet reached it's limit and is not
likely to stop until that control has

Financial sentiment is remarkably
steady. The great German drive seems
to have reused a spirit of resistance
and a confidence in ultimate success
that is plainly reflected in security
values, which yielded but slightly to
unfavorable news. For the time be-
ing, attention is conferred mainly upon
the Liberty Loan, and ordinary
market activity is correspondingly re-
strained. Upon the money market
the loan has had relatively slight eff
feet, and no disturbance is expected
owing to the long period given for its
payment, and the fact that large
share of subscriptions has already
been provided by institutions and
wealthy buyers, who took on large

bonds. The various issues have been
actively dealt in during the week, the
3h per cent. first loan being espect-
ally strong owing to the tax exemp-
ton privileges, which make them a
favorite with large holders of securi-
ties. Until the war assumes a more
definite phase all financial operations
should be conducted on conservative
lines.

ACCUSE FRIEDMAN
OF STEALING The
STOCK IN STORE

Accused of footing. the store of his
partner, Abraham Unger, a tailor of
1140 East Main street, M. Friedman
is under arrest in New York charged
with theft of about $4,000 worth of
cloth, clothing and store fixtures, and
will be brought back to Bridgeport to
stand trial. He was arrested by
Brooklyn police after he had been
located by Detective Sergeant James
Bray who has been searching for him
for a considerable time.
Friedman and Unger were partners
in the tailoring business in East Main
street, and according to the story told
to the police Friedman induced his
partner some time in February to
make a business trip. While Unger
was away, it is alleged, Friedman
hired a motor truck, backed it up to
the store, and carted away the entire
contents, including the fixtures, valued
at about $4,000.
Unger complained to the police, and
search has been made in New York
and Brooklyn. Friedman was located
Saturday. ltk believed he will not i'm
sist upon extradition proceedings.
