Royal Bakery Contest Brings to Light Valuable Domestic Science Points Which Port land Ladies Discover. The judges who were appointed to pjss on the merit of the stories writ ten by those participating In the con tost held by Portland's largest bakery have completed their work. They were: Miss Karon Lamont. chairman. llrector of Domestic Science. Y. W. C A.: Miss llcdwig S. Bleeg. Instructor of Domestic Science. Lincoln High Hchool: Mr. M. O. Russl. general 'man ager Columbia Milling Company. Including the domestic science In structors In two of Portland's leading Institutions and a man w-ho Is an ex pert tn the food values of wheat, the committee of Judges was ably quali fied to render perfect decisions. The first three prize stories are pub lished below in full. In addition to these, there ore three other cash prise winners, being the Fourth. Fifth and Sixth, together with 100 stories which were given honorable mention by the Judges. While It was very much de sired that all of these stories be pub lished tn full, the contestants will realize that lack of space In the news papers makes It quite Impracticable. Owing to the marked excellence of some of the stories, which ran slightly over three hundred words, this point was waived by unanimous agreement of the Judges. First Prize Winner The first prize story was contributed by Miss Minna Hoffman, of 655 East Seventeenth street. Miss Hoffman Is a Portland girl, having lived here most of her life and receiving her early edu cation In Portland schools. Later, ex tensive traveling on the Continent en abled her to complete her education abroad under Ideal environments. She is a deep and ' thoughtful student of domestic economy and her Story of a Loaf of Bruat is indeed an acceptable solution of Tae problem of good bread In the home. The Judges unanimously chose her story for first place and she receives 150 In gold. Second Prize Winner Probably no man Is better known In Portland than Police Officer P. C. An derson, who Is doing so much to en force the new traffic ordinances on the corner of Fifth and Washington streets. Officer Anderson has the good for tune to possess a wife whose qualifi cations do not end with making a home pleasant, but who Is also a most in tellectual woman, and has contributed a story to the contest which the Judges awarded a. cash prize of $-5 In gold. Not the least Interesting feature of Mrs. Anderson's story is the mention of her husband's need for pure and nourishing food and she frankly states that the advent of Royal bread In Portland has satisfactorily solved the bread question in her home, as her husband has never found fault with meals supplied with an abundance of wholesome, nourishing and palatable Table Queen Bread, the "staff of life," Her story will be found well worth reading. Her picture, as well as that of Officer Anderson, is shown above. Third Prize Winner Mrs. L. E. Story, the wife of a promi nent physician and ' surgeon, whose home is at 6008 East Forty-sixth street, was the winner of the third prize. Her story showed marked literary ability, taking the form of dialect fiction, in corporating the leading features of Royal Bread. This story, reproduced herewith, is distinctively clever. Mrs. Story's picture is shown above. Fourth Prize Winner The fourth prize story was written by Miss R. Miller, of 210 Eleventh street. Portland. Miss Miller's story was a well-worded and carefully writ ten account of the steps taken by a Royal Loaf In the making, and showed a thorough knowledge of the subject. Fifth Prize Winner The winner of the fifth prize is Miss Mary McCarthy, of 127 East Twenty seventh street, who is too well known to Portland people, especially the younger set. to require a long Introduc tion. Miss McCarthy is a Portland girl and has always taken an active Inter est in domestic science, as well as In literary subjects. Her story, in poem form. Is Indeed pleasing. Sixth Prize Winner The surprise of the contest was the extremely meritorious story submitted by little Georgia Moore, an eighth grade student In one of Portland's schools. Miss Moore's home Is at 1061 East Salmon street. Her story, consist ing of fiction, has that trend of human interest which won a unanimous deci sion on the part of the Judges. Among the hundreds of stories en tered, there was one which stands out from all the others tn the intense heart interest displayed. Wonderfully natural and child-like Is the story of sweet lit tle Ella Rauscher, of 410 East Ninth street North, whose picture and story are herewith reproduced. So pleasing was this story, that the Royal Bakery decided that nothing short of a beauti ful doll would show the appreciation of the Judges and themselves. A remarkable coincident in connec tion with this effort of the Royal Bak ery to get from women in Portland their own viewpoint of the bread ques. tion, recognizing it as an important problem in the high cost of living, was the fact that way over in England, simultaneous with this contest, and, of course, without either's knowledge of the other's work, is a valuable scien tific treatise on 'The Story of a Loaf of Bread," by Mr. T. B. Wood, profes sor of Agriculture at Cambridge. It Illustrates the world-wide Interest that is now being taken In pure bread.

The Evolution of Bread Making Century upon century, the baking of bread had been the duty of the house wife. Even to this day, in many coun tries of the world, it is the work of the mother to prepare her day's or week's bread. But in more enlight ened countries, particularly in the United States, the demand for good, wholesome bread furnished the fam ily without the attendant hard work on the part of the mother has been in sistent The bakery is a logical insti tution one which supplies a demand, instead of having to create one. The public has only waited for the coming of a bakery, such as the Royal Bakery, which could supply them day after day with bread, wholesome and nourishing, always uniform in quality and goodness, and in fact superior in every way to the bread which could, under ordinary conditions, be baked In the private homes. For years bakeries were very imper fect not only in equipment but in busi ness management It seemed that the great desire of the baker was to make too much profit on each loaf. Instead of depending upon a superior quality to bring his sales to the maximum and his profits with it To this day this shortsighted policy is evident among many bakers. It Is with real pleasure, therefore, that I have read the "Story of a Loaf of Bread" as baked at the Royal Bak ery, and, later, visited the home of Table Queen Bread to verify the state ments made in the stories.. The reason for the superiority of Table Queen Milk Bread was readily apparent The Royal Bakery has the appearance of a most orderly kitchen, with everything which can be thought of to reduce the baking of bread to a scientific system, and thus assure one hundred per cent ef ficiency. From the constant care of the flour as received, through its passage to the mixing machine, where It Is mixed with the yeast the salt the many gallons of pure, fresh, sweet milk (all careful ly weighed and "scaled," and then Btlrred with the giant metal arms) then on through the rising rooms, the pro cess of cutting Into loaves, the shap ing machine, the other processes of rising until It Is finally brought from the ovens, a shapely, delicious, nut brown loaf, I was Impressed with the thoroughness, the constant care and the watchfulness of the Royal Bakers to insure the good quality of the loaf of Table Queen Milk Bread. The sound, sturdy, honest methods of making Royal Table Queen bread, coupled with the cleanly surroundings, the superior materials used and the evident appetizing taste, were certain ly convincing proof that the popularity of Royal Bread Is no more than it deserves. SECOND PRIZE By Mrs. P. C. Anderson. Wife of Officer Anderson, 889 E. Main Street Portland, Or. The Real Test to Which I Put Royal Bread. My husband is, an officer on the Portland Police Force. No doubt you have seen him at Fifth and Washing ton streets. His work is hard and you can realize how a big, strong, healthy. acJve man needs wholesome, nourishing, sustain ing food. When you learn, too, that I have a healthy, growing boy to feed, you will understand that with me the question of bread is an important one. For years I baked my own bread baking it like mother taught me to on the farm. It was good bread and wholesome, if I do say so. But it was hard, tiring work constantly baking bread, and quite a few times I tried baker's bread. Until I finally camt upon Royal Table Queen Bread. I al ways had to go back to baking again, because the bread I bought did not seem to have the nourishment In It Finally, one day several years ago, I bought Royal Table Queen Bread. The moment my husband tasted it I knew he was pleased. We eat a great deal of bread and depend upon it very much. I am glad to say that it satisfied us perfectly. Royal bread seems to be different than ordinary baker's bread. You cannot eat It without realizing that It has sustaining qualities. I have been very glad to read the storlea of Royal Bread in the dally papers, be cause it has shown me why it is that Royal Bread is so satisfying. When you investigate the way Royal Bread Is made and realize that only good, pure flour and milk and other things go into It. and that It Is not loose, spongy bread, but generous, full loaves, it Is easy to see why It is so satisfying.

Story. 600S E. 46th Street Portland, Or. Royal Bread-The Restorer of Domestic Happiness. "Our Sarah has been married three months, an' every time I visited her I found her crying over the bread. It wouldn't rise, got burnt or something. She wouldn't buy bread "cause George thought he must have home-made, like his mother's. "I got discouraged, but ma Just smiled an' said: 'Well, Cy, I see it's a case of convertin' the whole connec tion. I'll begin on the mother-in-law today. One sight of the Royal Bakery wlll show Mrs. Jameson, the prize bread baker of three county fairs, the error of her ways, so she'll want to buy bread.' "Ma called on her, an' they went, an' Gee! but the Royal opened their eyes! Fine brick building an" clean as a whistle. Expert bakers, finest ma chinery, scientific regulation of tem perature, first-grade flour- an' hun dreds of gallons of rich, pure, sweet milk! Sturdy honesty, no substitutes about the Royal. When Mrs. Jameson got outside she turned on ma an' said: 'What a conceited fool I've b'jen to think my potato yeast bread stirred up between sweepin' an' dustin' could be as clean an' wholesome as Royal bread made with milk by expert bakers with every modern equipment. I'm goln' to take a loaf of Royal to Sarah and u e o r g e. When I think of the long hot days I've spent over & hot stove it seems terrible.' "She took the loaf, an' that loaf of Royal Table Queen was sure tho happiness re storer. 'Sarah has a baby now. We call him the 'Royal Kid," for we know that if Royal bread had not come to the rescue Sarah, would have worried herself to death an' spoiled my chances of of b e I n' a gran dpop. So we always look for the word R-O-Y-A-L. It Is impressed on the loaf. MORALS no OPbN H CHICAGO Volume of Business Expected to Be Derived From Seg regated Districts.

We expect, when this court Is running fairly, to make It a tribunal of preven tion as well as punishment.
