A BAKER WAS FALSE
Prominent Hutchinson Firm Used Too
Much Flour in Its Bread.

Wichita, Kan. May 25.-Albert
Hanson, proprietor of the Hanson
Bread company of Hutchinson, ad-
mitted at a federal food administra-
ton hearing here late yesterday that
he had falsified his dough records to
make it appear he had used the re-
quired percentage of substitute in
making Victory Bread.
He testified he had done so think
ing he would not be found out. He
said he had poor luck making bread
with corn flour as a substitute and he
could not get the substitutes he
wanted from May 10 to May IT. He
also testified that when he did not
falsify his records he interpreted the
wheat saving rule to read that he had
to use rs pounds of substitute to 100
pounds of flour, while in reality the
rule reads rs pounds of substitute to
rs pounds of flour.
The extreme penalty for the offenses
which Hanson admits, is cancellation
of license. If his license is cancelled
it would put one of the biggest bak-
cries of Hutchinson out of business as
the Hanson bakery business extends
all over western Kansas.
Walter P. Innes, federal food admin
istrator for Kansas is in Washington
on official business. He will pass
judgment when he returns
A. E. Ice, inspector for the state
board of>health, and w. S. Thompson
obtained the evidence upon which
Hanson was brought to hearing.
Complaint was first made by volun-
teerS.

others have been urged to take a
chance. But each day the opposition
chances seem to have grown a bit dim
mer. In fact Opportunity played Sem
ator Thompson a rather generous
trick. The Chamberlain resolution
for an aircraft and war activities in
vestigation was referred to the senate
expenditures committee. of which the
Kansas senator is chairman. And
Senator Thompson didn't overlook the
opportunity which comes but once in a

Several hundred delegates are .ex-

Thre is prospect that some one may

ing convention in the light of the Dem

ton will probably start a campaign

Nearly Half of All Pictures

Chicago. May 25.-Ten years or

have resulted in the elimination OIL
hundreds of thousands of feet from
films shown to more than 4OO,ooo
nersons daily, according to Maj. M. c
Funkhouser, moral censor" when ne
defended the ordinances under when
he operates, from recent attacks.
According to Major Funkhouser'
the board of twelve censors, the mem,
hers of which are selected by clVii
service. and which sits in judgment
on the pictures, has little or no ols-
erection in ordering "cutouts OF re-
fusing to issue permits, as they mere
ly adhere to city ordinances anu
state law which prohibits hanging
scenes.
The cost of maintaining the cen,
sorins department is more than pai'i
for by the permits issued to the pro
ducers. which cost 81 each. Last year
29,697 permits were issued.
twelve censors draw salaries ranslhs
from s12O to s135 month
"rThe trouble with the motion pic
trre producers of today is that from
% to 40 per cent of the pictures pro
duced deal with sex, the eternal tri-
angle. affinity. and white save pro1-
LENS" Major Funkhouser declared.
las approximately so per cent OF the
motion picture audiences are CONS
posed of women and children, espe.
cially children. in theaters, OUTSIDE OF
the downtown district. and as children
often obtain their ideas of morality
from the pictures, close guard Is
necessary to see that the pictures do
not convey erroneous ideas"
The number of films received
weekly for inspection runs from two
hundred to two hundred and fifty,
and the moral censors are given three
days to pass on a picture. and issue

theater is established in one of the
larger rooms of the city hall, where
three screens and three motion pic
ture machines enable more than one
picture to be run at the same time.
AS a rule, two or more of the censor's
staff sit and pass judgment on one
picture.
"The city of Chicago is the only
city in the country which has a civil
service censor board" Major Funk
houser said. "Ohio, Kansas and Penn

EYE ON EXPLOSIVES
Kansas Maintaining Watch On Trans
portation and Handling in State.

A close watch on the movements and
use of explosives in Kansas now is be-
ing maintained and that the same is
to be further frightened up is the pur-
pose of extending the staff of william
j. Duvall of Kansas City, explosives
administrator under the federal gov
eminent for the state of Kansas. An
advisory committee to Mr. Duvall has
been appointed, E. c. Johnson, dean
of the extension department of the
State Agricultural college at Manhat-
tan, has been drafted" on this COM
mittee as special representative of the
farmers.
Under the present rules, even farm
ers desiring a quantity of dynamite
or giant powder to blast stumps,
must first obtain a license from the
county clerk before they can purchase
the same. Furthermore, there are
definite restrictions as to the amount
that can be handled and certain re-
quirements are necessary as to the
method of storage of explosives.
Quantities of more than twenty five
pounds must be kept in specially
constructed magazines, under lock and
key.
That every person in the state who
handles explosives. consider himself
an agent to help post the government
authorities on the distribution of ex-
plosives is urged by Professor john
son. Farmers and miners especially
are cautioned to store their supplies
of explosives SO that there will be no
danger of them falling into the hands
of anyone who might use them to
destroy property.

NEW FUNSTON UNIT?
Departure OF seth Division May Mean
Formation of New One.

Junction City, May 25.-Every indi
cation now points to the organization
of a new division at Camp Funston, to
replace the Eighty-ninth, which has
started east. The last units of this
organization, it is said will have left
the cantonment in month. The large
increments of men, due to arrive at
Camp Funston within the next two
weeks, it is said, will form the nucleus
of the new division.
Reports that the Ninety-second d.
vision will leave Camp Funston are
being circulated, but it is stated, on
what appears to be good authority,
that this organization of negro troops
will not leave camp before July 1 in
any event.
