DAYLIGHT SAYINGS TO ITS TEST
U. s. Supreme Court viii Hear
Grange Suit In Early October.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has set the date of Monday,
October 4, for hearing the suit
brought by the Massachusetts State
Grange against the attorney general,
secretary of state and commissioner
of education of Massachusetts, to re-
strain these officers of the common
wealth from enforcing the Daylight
Saving law, which is a local statute
in Massachusetts and which the
Grange contends is a violation of the
Standard Time act of the United
States. This is one of the most in
teresting cases that has been before
the United States Supreme. Court in
a long time, due to the fact that not
only Massachusetts, but many other
states and parts of states, are invol-
we'd in the controversy over the leg
ality of Daylight Saving, put into eff
feet during the summer season OF
each year.
The Massachusetts State Grange
instituted this suit against its state
officials, retained the best available
counsel and has fought the issue step
BY step through the lower courts and
now carries it to the highest tribun-
al in the land. Victory for the Grange
in this suit will necessarily termi-

BREAD

Bread is still the staff Of life, but
according to the economists of the
United States Department of Agrl-
culture the American people are
leaning on it less and less each year.
Per capita flour consumption has
fallen "a per cent since 1879, they
say. and assign as the reason that
the average diet is becoming more
varied all the time. Put in another
way. the individual consumption OF
-four made into bread was Sc bush
els in 1879 and is now down to 4.3
bushels.
The enlarged and varied bill OF
fare on the average table is probab-
lv a better index of the standard OF
living than any other thing that
could be selected. Where bread was
once the chief item in the menu, the
agricultural economists say that
meats and salads and a great varie-
ty of vegetables have come to the
common table in very recent years
simply because the family purse has
fattened considerably.
Lest the wheat raisers and Hour
manufacturers and sellers take
fright at this news, the Agricultural
Department furnishes consolation IN
rather generous quantities, however,
bv saving that the bulk consumption
of flour. of course, has increased
enormously; and the farmer doesn't
care so much about the bread con-
sumption so long as the wheat and
flour demand continues strong. Even
the baker gets some encouragement;
for. while the per capita bread con-
sumption is falling the consumption
of flour is increasing at a satisfac--
tory pace. Flour is used in cakes and
MANY forms of confections. 1t IS eV-
en- used in many forms of manutac-
ture. and altogether what is lost IN
bread-making is gained in other
ways. And what the baker loses IN
baking his loaves is amply made up
in all the other makings and bak-
ings called for by the growing menu
of the average American family.
