ufactursng costs in percentages as
follows:
Flour. 267; other ingredients, 145;
manufacture, IS A.; sale, distribution
and administration. 3S!4 Total, 100.
Thus there is close agreement of pub
lie and private sources as to what It
costs to manufacture bread, and an OBJ
that flour, and hence wheat prices, have
been gradually subordinated in impor-
ta1lue, as other costs have risen.
The only completes follow through on
the entire split-up Of the consumers.
bread money was made by the Federal
Trade Commission, under the direction
of Abrann r. Myers, then acting chair
man. When a purchaser pays 8.54g
cents for loaf of bread, here is where
the money goes:
Producer of wheat, Las; country ele-
vator, 0.068: wheat transportation and
terminal charges, 0.278, flour miller,
0.406; -four transportation, 0.263: all
bread costs except ingredients, including
labor, overhead, machinery, etc., 1888;
ingredient costs other than -four, 0.921; ;.
net profit to baker, 0.651; retail grocer,
1.279; total, 8.549.
This inquirer was unable to ascer-
tain whether any one had ever broken
down the prepondera1lt cost OF sales,
distribution and administration, which
is higher than, the combined n1anufac-
turing, labor and overhead costs. Again
mass production leaves an enigma on
the consumers doorstep, with the de-
velopment Of the automobile and other
transportation economies Of the last
two decades hiking up the distribution
item in the price of bread.
Since the war, wheat consumption has
decreased about $4,000 600 bushels an
nually and the per capita consumption
of ,5.S bushels annually has fallen to
about 4.26 bushels. Obviously this would
tend to bring about high pressure sales
manship In the bread-making industry
and boost sales and distribution costs.
Flour, ingredients and labor costs
appear to be out in the. open. Will
further inquiry by the Federal Trade
Commission or by the bakers themselves
throw more light on such items as adj
ministration, overhead, sales and dis
tributiun?

sjunddmentais OF bread economicS.)
NEW YORK, October 2.-Around 20
years ago, with wheat at about the
present price levels, a loaf of bread cost
cents It now costs 9 cents.
This Is the elimination of a long
period of intense application of labor
saving machinery to the manufacture
and distribution of bread. Here is a
laboratory case in the experiment in
mass production. Allowing for the in.
crease in average. income over 20 years,
the consumer sets aside just about the
same proportion OF his income for this
paslc commodity. The chronological
advance has meant nothing to him.
Who wins?
Farmers in Ohio, Iowa, Kansas and
other wheat-growing States are asking
this question insistently. The farmers
this year get $500, 000,0 less for their
wheat crop than they did last year.
The Farm Loan Board bought 69,o00,0O0
bushels of wheat at $l.18 to stabilize
the market. With wheat now sagging
down into the low seventies and carry
ing charges added, the board takes
loss of nearly $40,000,000.
Unable to Peg Market.
Nobody has been able to peg the mar
ket where the farmer ssllSs 1t is only
the market where he buys that remains
unchanged.
Every individual and interest who
gets a cut in the consumers cents
has a plausible out IF the Ieak in
mass production is to be found ans the
savings of machinery and science are
to be distributed among the consumers,
it will not be found in any surface ac-
counting. Summarized, the answer OF
the bakers is that even If flour were
delivered free to the bakery it would
still cost ATS cents to make one
pound loaf OF bread. The records Of
three of the largest baking organiZa-
tons in America, examined by this cor
respondent, showed approximately this
figure.
The only possible check on the de-
tailed analysis which the bakers submit
is with Government bureaus at WASH
ingtun. With -four at its present price

Nebraskan Defeats Man Who
 Taught Him 0ratory

Omaha, Neb.. Dec. 2 P)-A man oratory from his defeated opponent will represent the second Nebraska district in congress.
 Edward F. Burke. the defeated democrat mourns the fact that he taught so ~eil--for the victory of II. Malcolm Baldrige. republican, was one of pupil over teacher.
 It was back in 1912 when Bal dridge. as a stripling of IT. sat on hard pine seat at Central High school here and listened avidly to his elocution teacher.
 That teacher was Burke, and his booming voice taught students the fundamentals Of pitch, tone, force and quality.
 The campaign demonstrated that Baldrigo had listened attentive1y to those pointers on public speaking. His speeches attracted the public's fancy more than those of his for mer teacher by a majority of 700 votes.
 Both candidates campaigned on an anti prohibition platform. While Baldrge goes 10 congress, Burke will return to a law practice and his job as president of the Omaha board of education.

Girls Club Gives Meet Uncle
 Sally" to Good House

Comedy and snappy musical num- bers interWoven in a clever plot made the Landers Girls club show, Meet Uncle Sally one of the most enjoyable of the present sea- son. The show was presented before a large audience at the I. M. T. A. & B. society hall last night.
 Eleven New Britain people who have been prominently identified with local ramatics took the parts in a manner that was admiral ble. There were many character parts in the show and the excellent way in which the cast handled the diff fcult tasks was undoubtedly due 10 the efforts of James J. Bonney. vet ersn in local dramatics, who direct cd the show.
 Verne Lewis played tie part of q young lawyer and Miss Lillian Josephson the part of hls sister. They are expecting d millionaire uncle, and when he fails to appear it is necessary for Sally Sherwood tHelen Lynch) to dress as q man and take the part so that an i'm pression may be made on the mother Of their frances.
 Miss Kathryn Durham played the mother s part in a faHless manner and the parts Of Jenny Olson (Winitred kenney). Bob Durant Joseph Clyne.>, Henri Snorkins Gerald Hcnnessy), Dr. Snodgraa Gf'red BlankenburgJ and Miss Muggs (Arline Iarson) were don exceedingly we'll Musical numbers by Miss Josephson and Miss Ken ney were well received.

LAWYER SAYS WET
 POLL ONLY RUSE
Lee Claims Vote Not Representa-
 tive Of True Sentiments

Chicago, Dec. tJP)-The Amer ican Bar association prohibition poll is a "vet illusion and, indirectly at least, the reflection Of liquor propa- ganda,' Edward T. Lee. member of Of the association and dean of John Marshall Law School of Chicago, said today.
 "A majority Of the Bar associa- tion's members are attorneys in large cities with strong wet senti- ments,' Lee said Tn addition the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment actively promoted the poll.
 Half Of the associations @8.0Q0 members voted, and we must re- member that the dry members were not urged to vote, When NC consid- CT that less than 70 per cent Of the accredited attorneys in the United States belong to the association. we realize that the poll included not one in i9 of the members of the American bar.
 From the time the poll was conceived until the results were an- nounced, the most widc-spread anti prohibition propaganda in history also focused and thuudered through the daily and magazine press

CHINA BANS DANCE
 AS BAD INFLUENCE
Calls It Immoral, BlameS It for
 Corrupting Young

Ranking Dec. 2 Lp-The society leaders of this city's Chinese smart set are beginning to wonder what they can do with their cpare time,
 Dancing, the most popular form Of recreation in the national capi- tai of China, has been forbidden by the government on the ground that it tends to corrupt the morals of the young, With little else to do in the way of amusement, Chinese boys and girls are strictly up against it for some way to fill in their idle moments.
 The order forbidding dancing was instigated by group Of moralists who believed that anything western. even music, could do the younger generation Of China no good. Nat urally it has caused plenty of trou- ble.
 Dancing girls were thrown out of work and with the same field in Shanghai more or less oyer-crowd- d, they had no place to go. Hotel and dance hall proprietors were caught with heavy investments and high priced Filipino orchestras on their hands and there was nothing they could do bout it.
 Appeals to the government were futile and apparently Ranking must make the best Of it, for the time being at least
 Since Ranking was made tne ca pital of China two and a half years ago. dancing had become very popular with the Chinese society iraders and every member of the smart set knew the latest ballroom steps.
 General Liu Chi-M'en had most to do with popularizing dancing. He tonalists moved their government in and being fond of dancing him. self, granted dancing permits 10 ho tels and restaurants that might not have been issued otherwise.
 His successor continued the prac- tice of issuing dance hall permits and for q time everything was love- ly Then came the decree from the national government itself ordering the municipal authorities 10 abolish all dancing in the city.
 Too many young people were go- ing Gstray. the order stated, adding that dancing was largely 10 blame.

.NORTHEND SCHOOL
 REPAIR ESTIMATE
Education Dept. Fixes Cost Of
 RenoYatioDS at S16,OQ0

Renovation of the Northend school, project favored by Mayor George A. Quigley in preference to a proposal that a new school be built on the property at Bassett and Ellis streets, would cost the city s16,o00, according to an esti- mate Of the school department.
 school Building Supervisor John T.. DoWEcs made an inspection apd iarsement of the windows to in crease the natural light area. Under the law the school should have 20 per cent glass ara but some rooms are as low as per cent.
 Another item in the repair cost would be the construction of q new fire escape. This Was ordered by the state board of education 10 years ago. In order that every fire hazard may be eliminated as far as possible it is proposed that four ad- dluonai doors be constructed on the main floor with platforms outside.
 Since there will be considerable breaking up of class room walls, School Building Supervisor Downes believes it will be necessary to re- paint the rooms. The addition of the glass area will result in the need o1 an additional boiler to increase the heating system so that the class room may be up to 70 degrees.
 The renovation plan will also bring about an improvement ill the sanitary system, a condition that was denounced forcibly by parents at a recent school board meeting.
 It is unknown whether this. plan will meet with the approval of the school board members as a whole CT with the parents. One school board member said today the reno vation would merely cover the con- dition temporarily but nothing would be accomplished. He term cd it q waste of money
 That the parents are planning 10 continue their fight for a new build ing was indicated today when Prcsi- dent Francis 4. Clark announced that parents i'll the district would hold mass meeting at the Lincoln school on December II. Mayor Quigley will be q speaker and his contentious will probably be ques- toned by parents after he con- cludes his talk.
 ie Ia F,,r,i-l, tation from the Northcnd school to the Lincoln school Approximately 5q0 will be present, 1t was estimated.
