The Stationary Engineers of New England and the Commercial Engi-- neers are to hold an exhibition att tho State Armory on Main street July 10 to the 18th for the purpose of exhib- iting economical methods for the To- cal manufacturers during war times. Over 130 manufacturers have indi7 cated their intention of making dis plays of economical consumption Of fuel, in operating of boilers, engines, turbines and pumps. All the accesso- ries of power plants are to be shown. As this campaign is being launched for coal and mechanical conservation at this time, many of the larger man. ufacturers throughout the United States will have exhibits in the arm ory, many of them being in actual op- eration, to display the improved methods of saving fuel, ascertaining the analysis of gas, and many other interesting demonstrations.
 | Arrangements have been made to obtain through the Fuel Administra- tion an expert to lecture upon mod ern fuel combustion principles and power plant economy. l Among the New England represen. tatives of the Stationary Engineers o1 New England expected are Joseph Eccleston, president, New Bedford Mass; Andrew Waite, vice-president Portland, Maine; J.

Bakeries Ordered to Cut Production

Hartford, June 25.---Two bakeries, the New York Bakery of Rockville and Kelley's Busy Corner Bakery in Middletown, have been ordered by the food administration to cease bak- ing all products other than bread and rolls. These two bakeries with a number of other bakeries and hotels in the state have been given hearings during the last few weeks by Federal Food Administrator Robert Scoville on the charge of having exceeded their allotment of 70 per cent. of wheat flour.
 1 When the bakeries were placed un- der license, they were advised that the normal wheat consumption in this country had already been cut at the mills to 70 per cent and that this cut scale would prevail all along the line. Notwithstanding their own sworn fig ures of previous consumption, many of the bakeshops throughout the country have gone ahead and in- creahed their business in the face of the known wheat shortage and the food administration has refused to tolerate such practices any longer, unless where there were extenuating circumstances or an obvious mistake in computation.
