The small quantity OF 1000.
bought at any one time by con-
sumers has been found by Depart.
ment of Agriculture marketing ex.
perts to be an important factor in
present-day cost of distributing
food in our cities.
Time was when housekeepers
bought their fruits and vegetables in
bushels, barrels and other CORE
spondingly large packages. Lack Of
storage space in many present-day
homes, however. limits purchases to
the immediate needs Of one or two
meals. Carloads Of products are
now broken into smaller lots by
wholesalers for the jobbers; the job
bers, in turn, break the packages
into still smaller lots for retail
shops, and the retail shops further.
subdivide these small lots for their
customers who buy In still smaller
quantities. All this entails service
which liz paid for ultimately by the
consumer and is one important
factor in the high cost of living to-
day. Buying in very small pack
ages also increases total food costs.
The Institute recently made a study
OF the cost of the small-size pack
age as compared with those Of
larger size and found that, IL the
larger could be used to advantage,
it was a much more economical pur-
chase. We are often asked by our
readers to tell them how to reduce
their food budget. There is no
simple answer to such q question.
1t demands a study of buying habits
and market conditions as well as
the choice OF individual foods and
the careful planning of meals.

consultation with Secretary Wilbur

of the departments inquiry into his
authorship activities, he told Mr.. Will
bur that he had other articles in
course of preparation.

ciined to say what action, If any,
would be taken if the admiral con.
tinued in the role of author. They
pointed out that the next story al
ready is in print and could not be

given over the telephone to an In
quirer reporter, who gave it to the
Times as well. The stories appeared
September "a, and Admiral Magruder
declared in his statement that they
displeased him because they repre-
sented him as maintaining a defiant
attitude"
He summoned the reporter, who, he
said, acknowledged to me that he
had purposely made my attitude
different from what I had expected,
and he did it, as he frankly stated, to
create a sensation in Washington"

RAIN STOPS GAMES
Industrial League Contests In Full
Swing When Thunderstorm Inter-
rupts Play.

The Industrial baseball league
teams scheduled to play last night
almost got ahead of the weather but
only three innings had progressed
before, seemingly in anger, the
heavens opened once again and sent
downpour on the field. Both
games being played at Walnut Hill
park were in the third inning when
it became necessary to call them off
The Stanley Works and Fafnir
teams started out on a good battle
at Diamond No. 2 when the rain
came. The Buttmakers were lead
ing by a one to nothing score in
the last OF the third when Umpire
Herbie Sautter waved the players
to any shelter available. After a
few minutes it was evident that no
more baseball could be played. so
the contest was declared off.
The Landers team was leading
four to nothing on the first diamond
against the Union Works when the
same thing resulted. These make
two more postponed games that will
have to be played of in the league.
A postponed game between P. &
f. Corbin and r. & r. was to have
been played tonight but at the pres
ent writing 1t was doubtful if the
game would be staged because of
the wet conditions at Willow Brook
park. The managers of the two
