relax the strain on our own flour
supplies by contributing to the gen

tory flour, with a mixture of corn
flour, rice flour, or barley flour, un-
der prescribed percentages, and are
today advising the milling trade that
offers will be received next Thursday
for these mixed Victory flours for
export.
eve are also taking steps to secure
the cooperation of American mills in
making rye flour from the large stocks
of rye at present owned by the cor
poration, as rye flour is very suitable
food for large sections of Europe.
eve have known for some time
that the shipment of wheat from Aus
tralia and Argentina to European
countries were disappointing, partly
because of the limitations of por'
handling facilities, further reduced b!
strikes in Argentina, but largely b.
the great lack of sufficient ocean car

the last two months that America wa

Really a Super Tax.

This luxury tax is not assessed on
the total purchase price, but on the
amount in excess of that where it
ceases being a necessity and becomes
a luxury. For instance, pair of
shoes costing $40 is considered ne
cessity, but pair costing $13 is q
luxury. So the tax would be 10 per
cent of the excess of SO or 80 cents.
