Pesidea her husband she leaves a daughter. 17 days old. her parents, two slaters and three brothera. Mrs. Corkery had Jeen a resident of Aberdeen for about ten years. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon a e' 'ch front the First The bakers presented a resolution. adopted at their . forenoon session, asking that the former and higher price of the loaf be restored and citing increased labor costs and prlcea of ma terials as proof that there Is no margin of profit In the s-eent loaf. No action waa taken on the reuuesu Rekera lae Werkmra. Portland bakers said that their trou bles Included the genersl loss of work men who seek employment In the ship yards at higher wages, which the bak ers are unable to meet, and predicted a further Increase of 40 per cent in labor coat. The problem of providing a substi tute for wheat flour, in compliance with the recent order' of Ihe Federal Food Administration requiring that 20 per cent of such -substitute be used, was discussed at length. It was admitted that bakers are hard I pressed for such substitute at present, and the Food Administrator assured them that all possible haste was be ing made In securing proper supplies. In connection with this Administrstor -Ayer read an official telegram from Washington announcing that middling and shorts have been recognised as proper substitutes. Idaha la Make Potato Floar. Idaho delegates stated that plans were now under way for the creation of a large potato flour plant at Idaho Falls, with such capacity that it will be able to furnish a large part or the substitute needed by the Northwest, A similar, though much smaller, plant is now In operation near Beaverton. Or, it was announced. The war bread loaf must show SO per cent of substitute by February 24. according to the order ot the rood Administration, and is now in the process of approaching that goal. Sev eral bakera declared that uneasiness prevslls among the craft over the pros pective appearance of the substitute loaf. They feared that It will not find favor with the public. "That la not the question." Adminis trator Ayer replied. "The loaf may be nice in appearance, or it may not be. You must bake It according; to the rul ing. As for the people. It la up to them to eat It. Both cornmeal and potato flour are scarce, but you still have bran and middlings. Cse these freely, even if the resulting loaf Is nut attractive." Pakera tlvea lastrwctloaa. On wheatless days the bakers were Instructed to exceed the 20 per cent formula In mixing the loaf to use the maximum of substitute. employing wheat flour merely aa a binder. They were told that they must heed this Injunction, otherwise housewives, ob servant of their pledges, would produce their own bread. Various bakers said that the lowering of the loaf price to a cents had not re sulted In increased sales ot bread as predicted, and gave aa their opinion the belief that housewives were already baking more than formerly, or were voluntarily reducing the use of bread. Substitutes can be employed to better advantage In the making of pastry, agreed the bakera. Some said that the use of one part substitute to two parts wheat flour was the right proportion, while others maintained that equal parts should be used. Their recom mendations have been taken under ad visement by the conference of admin istrators. Tea Per Ceat af Patata Vaed. The bakers were urged to return home prepared to organise for the po licing of their own Industry, In order I that the rulings of the food administra tion may be fully complied with. hen such organlsatlona have been complet ed, they were told, the food administra tion will delegate authority to them.
