Jonathan c. Day. Commissioner Of

swindled housewives by alleging that
they represent the food administration,
Commissioner Day says and collect in
advance for food supplies that they
promise will be delivered by the city.
The city has made no arrangements
for packing or distributing the food It
is selling at less than market prices
The prices are fixed on a cash and carry
basis with just enough overhead to pay
for hauling from the army supply depots
to the schools aid butcher shops in
which the food Is sold.
The sale Of army chicken yesterday
reached a record of $4,000. Chicken
has proved the most popular seller on
the city's bill. At 50 cents a pound
It allows s cents profit to the distributor
and means saving of from Is to 20
cents over the price demanded by the
retailers.
