 The quality of bread baked for the sol diers has been so uniformly satisfactory that when they come home to civil life, they will express a desire for army bread Lieut.. Col. J. H. Adams, of the subsistence division of the War Depart ment, declared in an address on Army Baking"
 WORLDS LARGEST BAKERY
 Colonel Adams described what he said is the largest bakery in the world. de- veloped and planned by Maj. Gen H. L. Rogers, quartermaster of the army, for the American forces overseas
 General Rogers plan, he asserted had the approval of General Pershing.
 The bakery" declared Colonel Ad ans, stands today as one of the great est wonders of the war. It turns out exclusively army loaves of the most wholesome bread and when in full op- eration has daily capacity of 1,5o000o loaves The product is not touched by the human hand, from the time the sacks of flour are dumped into the blenders until it emerges from the oven, and steaming loaves are piled on miles of wire racks to cool
 Asserting that ample and proper food is the main factor in winning war, Colonel Adams said No man can fight or work unless sufficiently and properly nourished. Bread in the army, as well as in civil life, is the staff of life. "
 The bakers, Colonel Adams concluded, must insure 100 per cent efficiency in their supply and must maintain schools for the training of bakers.
 S. F. Mcdonald, Memphis, former president of the association, urged the bakers to give employment to returning soldier bakers. He read letters from Secretary of Labor Wilson and others commenting the efforts of the bakers to provide employment for men dis charged from the military service.
 The convention will close tomorrow.

JugO-Slavs Need
 Much to Carry
 Them This Year

Belgrade, Nov s.-Miss Malvine Hoffman, New York sculptor, who is vice-chairman of the American Jugo-Slav relief committee has just completed an inspection trip through Jugo-Slavia. She reports to Red Cross headquarters here that the new nation stands in need of much to carry it through it's reorganiza- tion period. War has left the people with virtually nothing.
 Life has become primitive in Ju- go-Slavia," says Miss Hoffman, There are no modern methods of communication left. Telephone, tele- graph, train and motor are crippled agencies. There is shortage of gasoline. Water supply systems are in poor repair. There are no raw materials for the making of clothes, and the price of everything is pro- hibitive. Yet the people struggle on without a word of complaint, no bit- terness or feeling of resentment, only dogged determination to climb over this terrible period and make a united country out of all this pain and sac rifice"

COURT COSTUMES COSTLY.

London, Nov. S.-The example set by the United States government in disseminating several varieties of navy uniforms and dress is being cited as worthy of imitation by agi- tators who favor economy in state dress. Numerous requests made re- gently by court officials for in creased salaries are attributed by these agitators to greatly heighten- ed costs to the ceremonial attire with which they must outfit themselves before accepting office
 The cost of court dress for anyone attending one of the kings ievees can scarcely be less than S625. A lord lieutenant ceremonial dress, with it's royal red swallow tail coat, silver buttons and lace embroidery brings tailor's bill fat least S65o. l The robe of the lord chancellor is valued at $1,000-it is a gorgeousn, affair of ermine and silk. The most expensive of all is the official garh of the earl marshal. It contains l.. TOO yards of gold embroidery and i: worth approximately S1,150.

World Records in
 Postage Stamps

London, Nov. s.-A worlds record has been established since December, 1918, in the number of new postage stamp issues. The total is now ap- preaching 2,000, (which nearly l. 500 are accounted for by the first stamps of the new European states whose autonomy was guaranteed by the Paris conference. The previous record was for 1914, when 1,2S6 new postage stamps were produced throughout the world, mainly due to the change in the watermark of the British Colonial issues.
 Poland, which once had but one stamp, has since the armistice pro- duced more than 400 distinct stamps. The Ukraine comes second with ITS varieties. Jugo- -Slavia and Czecho-Slovakia account for approxi- mately 150 each. The much debated territory of Plume has issued 75 varieties.

World Aerial Mail Service Will Be an
 Enormous Project

Liverpool Australia and Liverpool New York air service will be an en- ormous undertaking. The problem of supplying the necessary dirigible airships is but one of the items to be considered. They cost about $3,750,- 900 each to construct. At least six of these huge craft will be necessary to maintain these two services with any degree of regularity.
 There are also to be considered the problems of suitable landing grounds and mooring posts; the intention of the Great Northern Aerial syndicate being that aerodromes will be pro- vided at the more important stations while mooring posts will serve as second class stops or halts.
 Aerodromes for dirigibles are re- quired only at every POGO miles and it is now possible for an airship to be moored to or released from mooring tower in any wind up to 60 miles an hour; yet the total financial backing considered necessary for such an undertaking is in the neigh borhood of S100,000, 1000.
 The mooring out station for air ships which is in the form of a high tower enclosing the elevator shaft by which passengers and cargo will be taken up and down from the ground is over 150 feet high. With a revolving head the airship can be rigidiy attached to this tower by the nose, will ride clear of the ground in all weathers, and be able to swing with the direction Of the wind.
 Each of these towers will be pro- vided with hauling in winch and q rope by which the airship will be hauled up to the mooring post; also supply base of hydrogen, fuel and water ballast.

Bulgarian Peace Delegates Arrive
 at Their Capital

Sofia, Bulgaria, Nov. 8.-The Bull garian peace delegates, headed by II. Todoroff, prime minister, arrived to- day. They were met at the station by delegation of peasants from the city of Czaribrod, whose leader car ried the Bulgarian national colors draped in mourning. The peace dele gates were dressed in deep black.
 King Boris met the delegates near the Bulgarian border and accompaa- jed them to the capital. The mem- bers of the party seemed to feel q sense of humiliation at having been kept under constant surveillance la Paris, but showed no disposition to be severe in their comment on their reception by the allies.
 A proclamation was issued order ing all restaurants, cafes and places of amusement to close their doors at 9 p. m. and eounseling the people to refrain from demonstrations against the peace terms.

French Walters
 Resent Order to
 Shape Upper Lip
(By The Associated Press.)

Paris. Nov. 7.-Waiters in seven or eight of the largest cafes on the
 Paris boulevards have been stirred to angry protest by orders to shave their mustaches or quit.
 One of the bitterest grievances the walters had when they went on strike last April was the edict of the employers to the effect that walters must sacrifice their mustaches. The walters triumphed and the employ CTS agreed they should be permitted to adorn their yisages as they pleas ed Now an attempt to revive the ban on mustaches has reused their indignation.
 ''The walters are sufficiently hu- initiated to have to earn their living by extending their hands to receive what often proves to be ridiculous tip, without being forced to forego one of the privileges of manhood" said the secretary of the union. Really the ferocious employers know little about psychology. Should they maintain this inquitous measure des tined solely to give their staff servile appearance toward the cus toner, they are picking out poor time for it. Whether through snob- bishness or in the hope of appearing original, customers choose to make their faces as glabrous and depilated as that of the Americans or aim to copy the two commas on the upper lip of a well-known moving picture actor; that is their business. We must insist that the conventions en- tered into at the time of the strike be respected, that the mustache has always been in vogue in France and to suppress 1t is an indignity and diminishes the morale, value and patriotism of the personnel of the cafes"

FLORIDA VEGETABLES
ARE GREATER in VALUE
THAN THE CITRUS CROP

Gainesville, Jan. 2.-That the veg
etable crop of Florida exceeds in mon.
etary value that of its citrus output
and is crowding the staple crops and
live stock for first place, is the state
ment of G. X. McQuarrie, the U. s.
farm agent for Florida, who pro-
nounces Florida "the winter garden
state of the Union"
The history of commercial ship
ments Of vegetables in car lots dates
from 1896 and now amounts to over
Is million dollars year.
Already the tomato crop has begun
to move in considerable volume, the
Sawyer-Godfrey Company of Moore
Haven having sent out last week a
car load Of tomatoes from its 1000
acre planting.
In recent public address Mr. Nc.
Quarrie stated that vegetable growers
could be divided into three classes,
the group which makes this their
principal activity, stays with the
game through fat years and lean ones
and in case of loss grins and is up
and at 'em again. Glass No. makes
vegetables side ssue ,ebign
vegetables side issue, being fair
weather growers, giving up the game
to pay attention to their staple crops
