Soft Drinks VIII Haze to Be Cut Doun Before HotWeater
Fruit Juices to Be Popular

Manufacturers and dealers in soft
drinks in Harrisburg are wonder
ing what the government is likely
to do about cutting down this COM
modify when the hot weather ar
rives. One of the most popular of
five-cent drinks has been nearly
eliminated owing to sugar scarcity,
but now that sugar is becoming
plenty this soda fountain luxury is
getting back to normal production.
Even if the government does
pledge the public to decreased con-
sumption of soft drinks there is evil
IDENTIFY some apprehension at WASH
ington that the public will not be
able to keep its word. The habit
has become so universal to drop in

break. But that apparently is the
aim of the Food Administration. To

Amsterdam-Karl Wilke, a IL
year-old schoolboy, who burglarized
the German Emperor's castle at

been sentenced to nine months i'm
prisonment by the German courts.
At the trial he stated that he needed

He committed seven successive
burglaries at the Imperial castle, OBJ
tanning art objects and other valu-

Pigmy Elephants Found
in Africa; S Feet High

LOndon-A species of elephant
said to be hitherto unknown. a real
pismy, has just came to light in the
Congo, and two stuffed specimens
have been sent to England, one for
the Natural History Museum in Lon
don and the other for a similar in
stitution in the United States.
Their height is only about five feet
six inches, and the tusks of the
female weigh only about two pounds
a pair, as against 200 to 220 pounds
in a well-grown American bull ele-
phant. The species is known to the
African natives as the swimming or
water elephant, making it's home in
marshy country. ~ 7

1t will have to be unwrapped until
machinery is made to wrap a loaf
grocers object to the unwrapped
cided whether or not he will make
record as willing to make it If there
is demand for it by the people.
Bricker's New Bakery will not
manufacture the 12-ounce loaf now.
Lack of proper machinery, pans and
other equipment are the reasons for
not making the bread at this bak-
cry.
To Save Wheat
1t IS thought that the new Vic
tory loaf of twelve ounces will eff
feet a saving in wheat and substi-
tutes because families that custo-
marily use a 16-ounce loaf per day
will curtail their bread consump-
ton to a 12-ounce loaf daily The
new size loaf is in great favor with
the Federal Food Administration,
which authorized all county food ad-
miniStrators to urge the bakers to
make the new loaf.
Bakers in Harrisburg are slow in
making the new bread, owing to the
fact that it is only recently that
they have changed their pans, wrap
ping machinery, and paper wrappers
to conform to a larger size loaf, made
necessary by rapidly rising prices.
Because it would necessitate another
change in equipment, the bakers are
not so quick to endorse the 12-ounce
bread loaf.

Alien Stacker Bill Is
Transmitted to Senate
BY Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The alien
Stacker bill, barring from citizenship
and authorizing the deportation of
aliens of draft age who claim exemp-
tion from military service was trans
mitted to the Senate to-day after
having been passed by the House last
night by vote of 344 to 81. The
bill also authorizes the drafting of
aliens for agricultural and manu-

The State Department which has
signed draft treaties with Great Bril-

the alien Stacker bill on the ground
that it might embarrass the United
States in it's negotiations.
