Washington, May 12.-How to halt
the orgy of spending on luxuries and
other nOn-essentials in which Ameri.
cans are indulging and divert capital
to increasing production of necessities
which will reduce the cost of living ID
question that will be considered by
the leading bankers of the country in
conference with Secretary of the
Treasury Houston and the Federal Re-
serve Board.
The principal suggestion to be dis
cussed is that the reserve banks and
the bankers take concerted action to
curtail the advance of credit for the
production of nOneSsentials in an ef-
fort to stem the wave of extravaganza,
on the theory that the people will
stop spending when there are no lux
uries to buy and capital will be forced
into the production of necessities when
denied the more profitable field of nom
essentials.
Preparations being made for the
conference indicate that it will be one
Of the most important so far held on
the credit situation in the United
be considered, all bearing on finan-
cial reconstruction measures to check
and reduce initiation and otherwise di-
rect the nation back to normal condi-
tions from the financial and economic
excesses produced by the war.
The suggestion of action to check
the orgy of extravaganza has grown
out of the failure of realization of the
expectation that the cost of living
would begin to decline by this time
and the increasing evidence that the
wave of reckless spending has not
abated, but is even advancing, with
the financing of the production of
pleasure cars. fancy wearing apparel
and other luxuries assuming huge
proportions.
One assertion frequently heard is
that farmers are unable to procure
nails, wire and other articles of iron
because of the prodigious demand for
steel in the automobile industry.
One of the most effective ways to
bring down the cost of living. 1t is
cOntended, would be to curtail the pro-
duction of luxuries and divert capital
and labor to increasing the production
Of essential foods and clothing. There
are numerous difficulties to be faced
by the conference. however, in dealing
with this question.
The impression prevails that such
action as may be taken along this line
must necessarily be of II general ma
ture. Beyond blanket power to restrict
loans the Federal Reserve Board has
no specific authority by law to define
industries.

BAD CROP REPORTS
SWING GRAINS UP

NEW YORK, Aug. 14-Develop-
ments in the Russo-Polish situation,
together with the continued depres-
sion in sterling, caused further un-
settlement in the stock market this
week Although the market in gen.
eral was less sensitive to those in
fluences than in the preceding week,
the fall in prices again established a
new low average for the year. Losses
were more than made up, however,
and the movement later was distinct
ly upward.
The selling was accomplished by re-
ports that the market was adjusting
itself to the reaction in various trade
lines. Pressure was not applied to
any marked extent after the early
days of the week, and business was
curtailed sharply. This gave rise to
feeling that liquidation had run it's
course, at last for the time being, and
that the bears, finding they had gone
too far in their selling campaign,
were buying back stocks.
Buying was cautious. however, and
the rise was kept within moderate
bounds. Bullish sentiment was tenn
pered by the complex European sit
uation and the erratic course Of ster-

No, no! It's the boss baker telling his
assistant how to fix up batch of fruit
for nice pie. Just another stiff prop
osition for the restaurant patron. The
pie looks fine; its filling stands up
bravely and temptingly, but it tastes
like Monday morning.
incidentally, the baker saves about
one-half the cost of a real pie. By log
arithms the patron can figure out just
how he pays twice as much for a
piece of pie that is worth only half
what he pays for it. If the pie isn't
eaten after the customer buys it, it
makes good garbage. and garbage is
worth money these days. So, why
should the restaurant owner kick?

bakers, large and small. His action
Is based on samples of bakery pies
analysed in the state laboratory.
Prosecution Is Threatened.
G. " .Stansby, an inspector for the
department, rounded up the specimens
in various parts of the state. The in
spector found that in some large
plants the quantity of starch used in
pies is practically standardized, while
the smaller bakers follow their own
sweet will.
Some use one-third, others one-half,
as a substitute for the fruit a pie Or
dinarily should contain. Ordinarily,
a starch filler of about 1-12th of the
volume is used.
Commissioner Miller is sending cop
les of the state law to bakers and
threatens to begin prosecutions unless
the adulteration is stopped. Under
the statute the excessive use of starch
or any gelatinous material as a substi.
tute for fruit or normal filler is vio-
lation of the law.
Various inspectors have reported to
the comisioners that great many pa
irons, particularly of dairy lunch
rooms, take one bite of pie and then
push it away in disgust when they
find that its appetizing appearance is
only delusion.
