WANTS HELP OF THE PRESS Salt Lake City, Utah, Aug. 8— “Housewives will have to pay more for bread in the near future.” So de- clared Jay Burns, president of the Na- tional Assocaition of Master Bakers, in his annual address delivered before their convention here today. Industrial preparedness, first for in- dividual efficiency, and second, for in- dustrial efficiency, were advocated by Mr. Burns, who made this last include organized co-operation in scientific knowledge of methods and processes. That the value of bakery products in the United States jumped from $176,000,000 in 1900 to $600,000,000 i 1915; that the number of bakeries ha, increased 61 per cent in that period; that the value of their products 127 per cent; capital invested 160 per cent, while the population served increased only 20 per cent, were some of the things pointed out by the speaker, who predicted the annual baking out- put of the United States would ap- proximate $1,000,000,000. Foot Ball of Politicians. “The baker has too long been the foot ball of unscrupulous and igno- rant politicians and the stalking horse for the food faddists,” said Mr. Burns, in asking for co-operation. “We need to co-operate for betterment, for im- provement in the quality of product.” In explaining the reasons for the high cost of bread, Mr, Burns said: “While it is true that much of the machinery now used has reduced ma- terially the amount of hand labor em- ployed, it is equally true that upkeep lnt{depreciation on machinery, short- er hours, higher wages, better facili- ties, which bakers have adopted, have absorbed nearly or quite all of the saving, so that the cost, exclusive of material, of producing 1,000 loaves of bread, notwithstanding all our new machinery, is much greater !oda‘ than it was ten or twenty years ago. Raw Materials Higher. He gave statistics showing the va- rious increases in the raw materials used in producing bread since 1914 and said tfm during all this time there has been an advance in the price of bread to the consumer of from 15 to 25 per cent. He advised his hearers not to be afraid to face the rise, and lose, customers, becausc, he said, the cost of producing home bread was much greater than that of commercial made bread. AN “We need to cultivate the friendlie ness of the press,” he said in conclu- sion, “and we need this powerful, na- tion-wide influence to aid in the solu- tion of many of our problems. The has served to revive reports that the president may make a move for peace before many weeks. While officials here do not confirm the rumors that Page is coming here in large part to talk over with the presi- dent the situation as to a possible ending of the war, or at least the practicability of offering to mediate without stirring up resentment among the allies, it is the general belief here that this matter will be the chief theme of consideration. Mr. Page, it is said, will also talk over the blacklist. However, there seems nothing in the blacklist situation which cannot be handled in the usual diplomatic way. The belief gn prevailed here for some time that President Wilson would make a peace move late this summer or in tgc fall. It has come from high administration quarters that the president would make such a move the instant he believed there was any hoge of success. It is un- derstood, the president has been watching the military operations on the west front narrowly, realizin that these might take a turn whic would make feasible a peace move. Such a turn would be either clean- WALTER H. PAGE Q@ wrt A cut victory by one side or the other or development of a stalemate. Ambassador Page's visit here will be watched with exceptional interest. NORRIS SAYS MIND IS OPEN ON BANK Farm Loan Commissioner Says No Previous Opinions Were Formed on Location. FOR CENTER OF DISTRICT (From a Staft Correspondent.)

Mr. Lobeck got busy and after a confer- ence with Secretary McAdoo an- nounced that the secretary had agreed to arrange for a meeting of the farm loan board to hear Mayor Dahlman and Mr. Brandeis on behalf of Omaha as one of the farm loan centers. In this connection Farm Loan Commissioner Norris of Pennsylvania designated as such by the president yesterday, said to The Bee corre- spondent this morning that his mind was an open one with reference to the location of the twelve farm loan banks; that he would visit the cities desiring these bank locations wholl with a view of acquainting himself | | | SLOAN MAKES HIT WITH HIS SPRECH Nebraska Congressman’'s Talk Upon Ericsson May Become Public Document. LOBECK MAKES TALK, T0O (From a Staft Correspondent.) Washington, Aug. 8.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A rare and very unusual thing in the house occurred yester- day when Representative Tavenner of Illinois, talking upon the bill to ap- propriate $30,000 for the erection of a statute to John Ericsson, the father of the Monitor and numberless other important inventions, asked leave to insert as part of his remarks extracts from the speech that Congressman Sloan of Nebraska made on the same subject on Saturday last. Mr. Trav- enner, a rock-ribbed democrat, said of Mr. Sloan’s speech: “It is a literary em. It contains more interesting in- ormation about John Ericsson than can be found in any school book or history that has ever come to my at- tention. It should be published as a government document and sent out to the public schools everywhere. 1 STRIKES WEALTHY HOMES | New York, Aug. 8—The intense heat and humidity which has grippcd‘ New York is coincident with another | big increase in the epidemic of infan- | tile paralysis. Only once since the plague got its start about six weeks | | ago were there more cases than re-| ported in today’s health department bulletin. During the twenty-four- hour period ending at 10 a. m,, fifty- three children died of the disease in the greater city and 183 new cases were reported. There were twenty-cight deaths and eighty-nine cases in the borough of Brooklyn, while in Manhattan a marked increase in both fatalities and new cases was shown, fifteen children dying, and fifty-four, a record num-| ber, being stricken. Since the epidemic began on June 26 there have been 5,34/ cases and 1,196 deaths. Twelve Offers of Serum. Twelve persons who have recov- ered from attacks of infantile paraly sis have volunteered to give quantities of their blood to be used in the prepa- ration of serum for the treatment of the disease as the result of an appeal for volunteers in fighting the epi- demic. Sufficient blood was taken from two of the volunteers to treat nine cases. The health commissioner again ap- pealed to physicians and laymen to co-operate in causing the collection of as much of the serum as possible. Dr. | Haven Emerson, the commissioner, said that forty patients !ave been treated with the serum from immune subjects and the results have been so safisfactory that he would continue. e declared that the physicians are not yet in a position to say the serum has proved its curative quality, but its use has been such as to justify a careful trial, Children of Wealthy Stricken. The spread of the epidemic among the homes of the wealthy New York men in the suburban districts of Long Island is one of its latest develop- ments. Three children of one man having a summer home in the Saga- more Hill section of Oyster Bay have the disease, which also has appeared in the Meadow Brook Hunt colony at Westbury, Long Island. One wo- man, 42 years old, is now numbered among the victims. Federal Government Will Help. Washington, Aug. 8—An act ap- propriating $85,000 for the use of the public health service in preventing the spread of disease and $50,000 for ad-| HOPES TO AVOID STRIKE Washington, Aug. 8.—At the sug- gestion of President Wilson, Judge United States Board of Mediation and Conciliation, left Washington tonight for New York to be on the ground tomorrow when the represen- tatives of the 400,000 railway men threatening a strike, confer with the representatives of the carriers. Mar- tin A. Knapp, the third member of the board, now in Connecticut, also is ex- pected to reach New York tomorrow. Under the law the board is not au- thorized to offer its services until asked to intervene by the interested gamu, or until a tie-up is imminent; ut in view of the magnitude of the threatened trouble it was said tonight that an offer to mediate might be made, should the employers and the men fail to g together tomorrow. Support of Federation. That the American Federation of Labor stands squarely behind the men in their demands for an eight- hour day was made plain in a letter addressed to officials of the unions in- volved by President Gompers, and made public heretonight, The com- munication was sent on behalf of the executive council to the secretaries of the Order of Railroad Conductors, and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and Locomotive Firemen an'c‘li Engineers. In it Mr. Gompers said: “It is our most earnest hope that the railroad companies may be in- duced to take a broad-minded and humanitarian view of your demand. When the railway companies under- stand the full meaning of the eight- hour day and realize the advantages, moral and social, that will inevitably result from its adoption, they cannot refuse to concede for the workers the boon of an eight-hour day—and con- cede ‘without imposing upon the work- ers the necessity of cessation of work in order to establish your demand. “Regardless of whether your pur- pose is secured by the voluntary agreement of the railway companies, or whether it is necessary for the railway men to strike to obtain this just and necessary protection, the American Federation of Labor pledges to the brotherhoods its sup- port and sympathy in the effort to accomplish that which is fundamental of the railway men.” Persistent Advertising Is the Road to Success.

A 5-cent loaf of bread is an econo- mic waste, in the opinion of C. N. Power of Pueblo, Colo., who today addressed the convention here of the Master Bakers of the United States, He discussed the “Ten-Cent Loaf and Why.” Efficiency, declared Mr. Power, de- manded the blking of ten-cent loaves of bread rather than the S-cent size. He estimated the cost of baking 1,000 loaves of bread at 5 cents a loaf at $3.55 more than the cost of baking sideration together with other active candidates.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle and is very harmful. Just plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless) is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can’t possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea- spoonfgls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly.
