Our Daily Bread

One of the blessings Of the
present age is that bread, the
staff of life, is obtainable at
low price everywhere, and of
such quality that home baking
cannot compete with it in any
way. Bakeries located i'm large
towns turn out a product often
superior to those of the smaller
village bakeries. This is because
their large scale buying gets
them better raw materials, and
the large town bakery must
necessarily operate under the
most sanitary of conditions to
satisfy a jealous Board Of Health
In most small towns sanitary
practices are enforced by the
proprietor according to his inter
petion of same. While it is un-
dcubtedly true that most small

last night, refused to support Of
ficially a movement to block
state action dealing with the
spearing Of perch in Lake St.
Clair.
The legislation in question
would prevent the spearing of
perch by residents of Michigan
in all navigable waters over
which it has jurisdiction. AS it
now stands the law permits the
spesring of pike and other OBJ
noxious fish.
The city commission voiced
Its opinion when confronted by
a spokesman for the opposit ON
who said that such legislation
would hurt the farmers in the
Macomb area who depend upon
perch as supplement to their
winter food supply.
Commissioners felt that the
state conservation department
knew more about the value of the
legislation than they did and
that 50 far as they knew has
recon- mended it as a means for
protecting the states natural re-
sources. They did not feel that
the commission had the right nor
the business to take any action.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O-(P)
"A proposal for a $2,0O0,00
900 ceiling" on the lease-lend
program furnished the last big
test of strength today as the
House foreign affairs committee
met to finish work on the Aid
-to-Britain bill and report it out
for action.
Already successful in, carry
ing four, major amendments be-
lieved acceptable to the admin
istration, the bills supporters
were expected to defeat the
ceiling" proposal just as they
voted down a 'no-convoy" ban
yesterday. Administration Off
Gals have spoken against both
restrictions.
Senate hearings on the legis-
lation meanwhile continued with
James w. Gerard, ambassador
to Germany prior to 1917, and
Secretary of War Stimson as the
first witnesses. Stimson was
asked to supply a closed session
of the foreign relations commit
tee with itemized information
on what help has been given
Britain.
Senator Nye (R-N.D.), speak
ing for opponents of the meas
ure, told reporters he hoped to
get information which Stimson
