i BREAD IS SCENTS AGAIN, BUT LOAVES | | -AREMIADELIGHTER All Big Bakers Who Raised Prices To-Day Cut Off Increase of One Cent. WEIGHT IS 12 OUNCES. Bread Inquiry Cause of Reduction, They Say. Bread has gone back to five cents @ loaf aggin. It happened this morn- ing. The General Baking Company, @emprising the old Fleischmann in- teresta, the Ward Bread Company and the Shults Bread Company, the Diggést concerns in the business, ordered the one @ loaf reduction on Saturday, to become effective to- day. “Flour has gone down,” was the reason given by Alfred Romer of the Shults Company, and the same an- wer was given by W. Herschel Col- lins, President of the General Baking Company. The Ward people, ques- , toned by an Evening World reporter, @ecided to “stund pat” and say noth- ing. Secretary Arthur, whose tem- per has been ruffled by the publicity! given the big bakers by the news- Papers, refused to discuss the issue ‘one way or another. ’ r recently went up $3 a bar- id Mr. Romer. “It has gone down $1.50, so we have gone back to our old price.” When Mr. Collins was asked if the fact that the State had made an in- ~quiry into the price of bread and that the newspapers had demanded a re- duction in price had caused his con- cern to effect the one cent drop, he replied: “Not unless they caused the Brice of wheat to come down.” Hugo Fredericks, President of the Wholesale Bakers’ Association, said to-day the members of his organiza- tion would come back to five-cent bread in line with the big herg 2 “It will be hard on us to do this,” said, “because the price of flour still above normal and we make the reduction simply to preserve the life of our business. The large bakers compel us to do this, for we could not stand the competition if we main- tained the six-cent price. There is no profit in five-cent bread at the pres- — ent price of flour. We can get four cents wholesale for the Joa’ But while the five-cent loaves are to be a reality again, the weight will be shortened a trifle. Ward «nd Shults were labelling their five-cent loaves this morning “Weight 12 ounces.” In a grocery at No, 143 Greenwich @treet a five-cent Ward loaf woighed 12 ounces, while a loaf that was six cents yesterday, before the reduction ‘was ordered, weighed 121-2 ounces. In the same store a Shults five-cent deat marked 12 ounces weighed fully 18 ounces, ne SLAYER CRAZED, SAYS WIFE. Mesented Romark Lawyer Made to Mer—Anether Victim Dies.

She {s Mrs. Mildred Manly Easton, President of the Life as a Fine Art who talks to a thousand women every month and who in her Classes in personal development has made an intimate and far-reaching study of feminine psychology. And her conclusion is that women are as likely to keep secrets as men—and no likelier; that keeping secrets is mostly a matter of brains, and that brains are of several sorts, but not Club, aligned according to sex. “There ie the woman with the sieve brain,” explained Mrs. Eas- ton. “She can't keep secrets, of uree.
