off shotgun. was leaving a room
crowded with so diners when Baker
opened fire. The man fled, but was
tossed from an automobile by his COM

Meanwhile, police were preparing to
storm the building in the belief the
man could not be captured without

ton to Detective Earl Baker for his
courage and ability and they desire
to praise in the highest degree De-
tective Bakers faithful performance
Of his duty in the recent hold-up at
the Blue Bell Barbecue, 1885 Bladens-

that this officer had the foresight to
protect the lives of other patrons from
gunfire until such time as he was able
to open fire on the bandit without
danger to any one else.
"The Commissioners request that
Detective Bakers record show this
commendation as an official recogni-
ton Of his excellent service to the
department. The Police Department
may well be proud of having In its

BAKERS ANNOUNCE
BREAD PRICE RISE
Advance of One Cent a Loaf
Laid to Tax and Higher
Material Costs.

Retail bread prices advanced a
penny here today to 10 cents per
pound loaf. The increase apparently
is general, with the major bakeries,
including Continental controlling
Corby's and Havenner's), General
Baking. Dorsch's and Sanico, report
ing they have raised the cost to
grocers hat q cent loaf to 8l2
cents.
With the wholesale price at cents.
grocers charged cents. With it at
8h cents they will charge dime.
The price rise affects white, rye
and whole wheat bread, but not rolls.
Bakers said it was necessitated by in
creases in the cost of materials.
Flour has advanced s1.50 a barrel,
with the processing tax sl.38 bar
rel, they said. The price of lard was
said to have increased 200 per cent.
I'VE are compelled to absorb the
increased costs, whereas our profit is
actually less" one baking company
official said.
Don E. Montgomery, A. A. A. con-
sumers' counsel, said he doubted "very
much" whether the 1-cent retail price
rise was warranted and that he was
preparing a statement on bread prices
which will reveal "the true situation. u
His Office may investigate the in
crease here, Mr.. Montgomery in
dicated.
'"They can't blame it on the process
ing tax" he said. That has been in
effect since 1888 and amounts to less
than half a cent q Loaf
Some increase in the price Of wheat
due to another small crop was men
toned as one reason for the increased
cost of bread materials.
