BREAKS SILENCE

Nelson's Labor Day speech at
Cleveland is his first major adj
dress since last June. Last spring
he let himself get in for a whole
series of public appearances that
ended with the whirlwind tour
that took him to his alma mat
err, University of Missouri at
Columbia, Mo-: a miners meet
ing in Butte, Mont; MacAr-
thur-day celebration in Chicago;
a Northwestern University dedi-
cation in Evanston. A couple OF
radio talks were thrown in for
good measure. After that Chau-
tauqua circuit swing, he raised
his right hand and swore SOL
emily there would be no more
speechmaking for long time to
come.

SPY STORY UNMASKED

he Iull StOIy ldS ilcNcI DccIi
told on why the government
was never able to get full con-
fession or statement out of The
odore Wozniak, the man who is
supposed to have started the fire
at the Canadian Car and Foun-
dry Plant in Kingsland, N. j.,
Jan. IL, 1917, setting off an ex-
plosion that, with the Black
Tom disaster, was supposed to
be the most effective job of
sabotage in the last war. Now
that Wozniak is again in custo-
dy, the story is out.
Wozniak dropped out of sight
after the fire and was not To-
Gated until 1880 when the Mix
ed Claims Commission was con-
Quoting its investigation into the
disaster. Then Wozniak appear
ed and offered to sell his infor-
nation.
Not knowing what his infor-
nation was, no terms could be
made, but a supp osedly secret
meeting was arranged between
Wozniak and a member of the
commission. Wozniak specified
that no one else should be pres
ent and that there should be no
stenographic record. Just the
same, couple of stenographers
were stationed in an adjoining
room to take down the state
ment.
Half way through the state
ment, one. of the stenographers
sneezed. Wozniak bolted from
the door and disappeared. BY
the time he was next located,
the statute of limitations had
run out and he was saved from
prosecution. But the Depart
ment of Justice has him in GUS

c. /. O. has moved into new
headquarters in Washington,
having joined the ranks of the
property owners by purchasing
a modern five-story building on
Lafayette Square, just half a
block from the entrance to the
White House.
Big laugh in Washington is
that c. l. O.'s new next-door
neighbor is the ltra-conserva-
tive Brookings Institu n,
where research men write theses
and monographs TO prove that
wages are too high and the un-
ion shop is a crime.
But that's only the start of it.

top floors. AS landlord, it rents
the two bottom floors to the for
mer building owner, a bank.

Bread Loss This Year May
Be Less Due To Discovery

WILMINGTON. Del-INS De
yelopment OF mold inhibitor"
may be the means OF saving more
than a half-billion loaves Of bread
in 1912, it was estimated by the
du Pont Company.
Chemists reported that the sim
pie addition to bread OF a sub
stance that is naturally present in
many other foodstuffs has proved
to have such a marked effect on
delaying the growth of fungi in
bread that American bakers striv-
ing toward greater food conserva-
ton plan to extend its use by 10
to Is per cent during 1912.
Millions of dollars are lost an

caused by tiny spores OF fungi in
the air. Usually most active dur
ing the summer, these invisible
particles develop In bread after
baking
Although their growth cannot be
wholly eliminated, the chemists
said, even under the best sanitary
precautions. the growth is greatly
retarded by the addition of the
mold inhihiting agent. 1t was re.
