BIG MUSIC SHOW TO BE

Browns Saxaphone Six, which
comes to the Sugg Theatre for three

scribed as an absolute novelty in the
musical world as well as an attrac-
tion consisting of musicians, come
dams and entertainers of the differ

the Sugg theatre, made the follow
ing statement regarding this show:

Brown Chimser) is wonderful
musician and has assembled together
an organization that has no equal,
playing all of the larger cities
throughout the country, the fact Is
that the nation wherein music is
real part of the life of the people
are those that are progressive. 1t
may be that the music has wrong
twist occasionally and it is so with
many of the powers of good, but one
thing that we must remember is
that wherever good music is played,
there you may look for the maxi
mum of happiness and brotherly
spirit. Where music is missing there
you will find harshness and coldness
and lack of kindred spirit. The
Brown Saxaphone Sextette brings
gladness and uplift therefore should
be welcome to our CITY,"

CORBY ACCUSED OF SALE
.0F SHORT WEIGHT BREAD
Authorities Told of Reduction in
Size of Loaf, Says
Mr.. Corby.

The Corby Baking Company was in
dicted today by the grand jury on
charge OF manufacturing and selling
short weight bread. The Indictment is
drawn under the pure food and drug
act and under the net weight amend
ment thereto.
1t is charged that on four dates last
month samples Of the Large loaf"
branded on the wrapper to contain
"one and a half pounds were found to
be short in weight. Assistant United
States Attorney Arth. who investigat-
ed the case. explained that while there
is no law fixing standard loaf of
bread in Washington a branding tend
ing to deceive the purchaser into the
belief that he was receiving a GER
tain quantity Of food would bring the
case within the purview of the pure
food act. Since there was not. as he
claimed. full weight of one and
half pounds when the article was so
marked, the net-weight amendment
applied to the case.
Regarding this indictment, Charles
l. Corby said
1T has been long established prac-
tice in the baking industry in the city
OIL Washington. and. l might say,
throughout the country. to increase or
decrease the weight of loaves of
bread when the necessity for doing
same has been brought about by in
creases and decreases in the cost of

all
This we have done.
Before making our last reduction
IN weight we went to the chairman of
the fair price committee of the De-
partment of Justice and stated that
we were going to reduce the size of
our loaf of bread one ounce. which
We did.
Tn March 1920, when we appeared
before the Department of Justice and
the fair price committee, at which
time we asked for an increase in the
price of bread, we also made state
ment to the Department of Justice
and the fair price committee that we
were at that time scaling our bread
one ounce less
1T was suggested that, instead Of
increasing the price. we again re-
duce the weight, to which we made
the reply that it would not be practi-
cal to reduce the weight any further.
"On April 26, 1920, in an audience
with the sealer of weights and meas
ures. we called his attention to the
our loaf of bread.
"On account of the very small num-
Der of large loaves of bread which we
were producing, in comparison with
the entire output, which wrapper stated
the loaf weighed one and one-half
pounds, we entirely overlooked the
fact that in reducing the weight of
this loaf of bread we were doing an
unlawful act, but the cause of our
overlooking same, as stated above.
was due to the accepted custom of
reducing the weight to take care of
any increase in cost of production"

the above schedule.
Although the government used IN
the neighborhood of 100000 cubic
