At the same time Mr. Morton's ap pointment to. the Inspection Job was made yesterday. It was announced that J. D. Mickle. state dairy and food commissioner, has been assigned to the staff of the food administrator for performance of similar duties. "abstltetee te Be Rale. Mr. Ayer, food administrator, de clared that the appointments sre due not to fesrs that any appreciable num ber of bakers will evade the new sub stitute requirements, but to the Nation wide policy of creating a closer super vision of the industry. Tomorrow the final limit of the liberty bread decree, Is reached, and thenceforth no bread or rolls must contain less than 20 per cent of approved substitutes. Bakers of Portland were not exactly pleased yesterday, when It was dis closed te them that Mr. Hoover has au thorised the baking of a 12-ounce loaf. One of his early acts in the bread situation was the standardisation of loaves to lS-ounce and 24-ounce sizes. This arrangement, the bakers declare, has worked for economies and elim inated possibilities of price manipula tion, -jney o eject to restoration of the smaller loaf, and are hoping it will not necessary to turn It out In this suction of the country. Little Loaf Opposed. The small loaf. said one master baker, "is all right for people in the e-ast and the tenement dwellers of the large cities. Here In Oregon, where we all have hearty appetites and lean heavily on the faithtul 'staff of life,' we feel that the little loaf la out of place these days. In sending out the notice that 12- ounce loaves and a twin losf. with each section weighing 11 ounces, have been provided for under latest regulations. Mr. Ayer fixes the wholesale price on the already established basis, lie says: "This 12-ounce loaf containing one quarter less material than the one- pound loaf, will sell for 25 per cent less than the one-pound loaf. The wholesale price for ths pound loaf Is 8 cents, thus fixing the cost of the emsller loaf to the retailer, in the Miscellaneous Three packages Seeded Raisins. 254 Two lbs.

MORMI-in event one Is ever produced here, at 6 cents. War.lsf Is Issued. Mr. Ayer Issued this warning; and explanation: The publio Is hereby warned to see that this 12-ounce loaf in In no case substituted at the pound-loaf price. It is not mandatory that the bakers make tuis smaller loaf, only being permts sible, and I am not able to state at this time what their attitude trill De; Dut, Judging- of the hearty co-operation that has been civen to the Food Adminis tration. I am auite positive that if there is any sreneral demand lor tbe smeller loaf than the present pound loaf, that they will furnish It." If the small loaf is objectionaDie to the bakers the twin loaf to weigh -i ounces is doubly so. They alresdy are producing a solid 24-ounce loaf. The making; of the double loaf of this welrht would entail Inconvenience and costs they do not desire to assume. Si lence of the State Food Administrator on this phase of the new regulation Is taken to mean that no such loaf will ever be urged upon Oregon bakers. Two important new bakery regula tions were telegraphed here from Mr. Hoover's office yesterday. One pro vides that where a baker cannot obtain substitutes for white flour he may, by filing proper affidavits, receive a per mit to continue operations for 10 days by reducing their output to SO per cent of its normal extent. The second ruling establishes four pounds of potatoes on a parity with one pound of other ap proved substitute In the making of liberty or war bread or similar bakery products. PULITZER OFF TODAY MC.MCIPAIi FISHING SCHOOTVER TO aiAKE isrnAii trip. Hallbat Basks Off Newport Destina tion ef Craft Catch Will Be Sold la City Market. Portland's first municipal fishing ex pedition starts today. The schooner Joseph Pulitzer, completely rigged and provisioned for fishing off tbe Oregon coast between the Columbia River and Newport, Is scheduled to lift anchor this morning and make the start for salt water. The boat will be Inspected at 3 o'clock this morning at Wabington street dock by members of the City Council, after which the start will be made. The boat will hurry to sea and ret out in search of fish. The length of time she will be out depends on tbe luck had in meeting up with a school or two of halibut, salmon and other fish. She is provisioned for a month at sea. The Pulitzer Is owned by the Port of Portland and was turned over to the city free of charge. The machinery and hull were thoroughly overhauled. and a fish storage compartment was installed, with a floor and drains and other modern equipment. This com partment hss been thoroughly Iced and made ready for all kinds of fish. The crew of the bost will be paid on the basis of the catch made. They have been instructed to keep all the edible fish caught and will be paid a small rate for fish other than halibut and cod. If the boat bas the luck those in charge expect, she will show up in Portland some day soon with a load of choice fish, which will be put on the municipal market. Arrangements have been made for cold storage space, where the oversupply can be chilled and kept while the supply is being sold.
