Berlin, Friday, March li.-Arrange-
meuts for foreign credits is only one
part Of q difficult financial problems
confronting Germany in connection
with the supply of food from abroad
The price of various foodstuffs, par
ticularly cereals, on the world markets
is so high compared with the Maxi
mum prices which Germany maintained
ON iltoned foodstuffs during the war
that some method must be found to
make up the differences i'm cost Of the
price Of bread is to be within reach of
the workiugmen,
The constant strikes and discomfort
of labor which are the breeding ground
for disorder and worse, are caused
largely by the inability of the poorer
classes to meet the cost of living ON
present wages.
The government is aware that if the
price of bread now 80 10 60 pfcunings
for a pound loaf is increased three or
four times, the entire laboring class and
many of the lower middle classes might
swing over into bolsheyism.

tablished any record for speed, but it
did almost make a record for tire
economy. Not once did the little ma

The Oldfield Cords with which 1t was
equipped rolled into the state fair
grounds yesterday afternoon with the
same air in their tubes that was put
in them in FL Paso.
According to those who inspected
the castings they were none the worse
for wear, and stood the gruelling trip
in good shape. The fact that the
Oldfield cords, which are thirty by
three and a half, finished ahead of 20
of the 80 cars which started is a
source of keen pleasure to r. r. Colby,
district manager of the Oldfield Tire
company with headquarters at Los
Angeles, who came to Phoenix to see
what his product would do.

FREE LUNCH COMES
BACK;;W WOMEN ONLY
ALLOWED; No BEER

The free lunch has come back to
Phoenix.
1t is here for week. While it lacks
one of its leading features of the days
of old it is nevertheless as popular as
it was then though it is patronized by
women now while formerly men were
the sole patrons.
The free lunch is served all day long
at the state fair grounds by various
up to date concerns advancing a par
ticular brand of goods. While their
is a certain sameness about the food
and service, still one can make meal
with a biscuit and a cup of coffee and
coffee and a doughnut and still more
coffee and a silver Of pie or a sample
of cake To vary the monotony one
might try a bit Of mayonnaise served
on a cracker sample size while dash
a maple syrup might be taken as an
appetizer.
The women liked it. They lined up
and praised the merits of the local
flour and everything included in the
menu They took down the names Of
everything even the three brands of
coffee demonstrated and promised to
try them all the next time they placed
an order with their grocer. They did
not return to town for luncheon nor
take in one of the restaurants on the
fair grounds although the men in the
parties were seen to wander about In
