New York, Feb. 5. Broadway's money spenders saw how it feels to .be desperately hungry yesterday af ternoon. Past the stde door of the Hotel Knickerbocker, one of the great est of New York's hotels, filed a line of 1500 ragged, famished creatures. They had stood in line for two hours In near xero weather to get a free cup of coffee and, a saidwich. For three hours it was the biggest how On Broadway a drama, of strik ing contrasts. . Under the eyes of rich ly gowned women, protected from the cold by expensive furs and men swathed to the neck in heavy over coats, the procession of thinly clad 'women and men surged : slowly to ward the door where white capped waiters passed" out steaming hot food. The lobby and the tea rooms, be came deserted, while some of America's best known young millionaires and heiresses .swarmed around the corner to watch the -spectacle. Another crowd poured into the street from Broadway until Police Sergeant Patrick Gunn ex ecuted a raid on what he called the "army of the unemployed." A little hollow-faced woman who bit nervously at her cold, blue fingers was the first guest. She gulped down a cup of coffee and fled with a huge " Frankfurter sandwich tucked away in her coat pocket. Next in line was a gray-haired old woman, then a slender white-faced girl with two little children tugging at her skirts. She passed sandwiches and coffee first to the children and then devoured her own portion In three rapid gulps. A limousine rolled along, close to the curb. From the window a carmine-cheeked woman stared curiously at the crowd munching sandwiches in the cold " "I'd work all day for what she spends for gasoline," volunteered the white faced girl. Above the hotel door was a sign that read: "Welcome, come again tomorrow if .the times continue hard."

J I V VI "BAKEY0UR0WN"IS ADVICE OF CHICAGO WOMAN AS TO BREAD "Back to the Oven" Slogans Miss von Hoist of Windy City Clean Foods Club, NEED NATIONAL REVOLT Tear of Six-Cent ZioaTes Starts Club Women on the War Path; Boycott Ineffectual, They Assert. (United Press Leased Wire.) Chicago, Feb. 5. - "Back to oven," is the way to combat the soaring wheat prices, according to Miss Lucy Von Hoist, chairman of the education al committee of the Chicago Clean Foods club. Alarmed at the con tinued sky-rocketing of prices Mrs. Van Hoist has issued an appeal to the housewives of America, to "bake your own bread." "Back to the oven," Mrs. Von Hoist appealed. "With this as its slogan, I urge a national movement of house wives a national revolt against the shop bought meat. "A boycott is ineffectual so far as permanent results are concerned. Housewives will forever be at the mercy of the unscrupulous grocer, baker and butcher, unless they bake more and organize seeking the pur chase of raw material through an ade quate marketing system. Baking- Fine Art. "The great domestic renaissance of 1915." Tnis is the term Mrs. Van Hoist coined for a, revival of the baking oven. "Baking is a fine art," she asserts. "The corner, bakery has corrupted it into a manual trade. The advent of the emigrant-baker has 'em ancipated' the housewife from the oven but enslaved the family to the susurp er, high cost of living!" Fear of bakers- of the Illinois anti trust act will keep the price of bread down in Chicago, at least for some time. That was the intimation of Mar tin Reindl, retiring masterbakers as sociation, when he stated to the press rthat association would- take no con certed action regarding bread prices. Predicts 6 Cent Bread, While the anti-trust law, he be lieved, would interfere with a de claration of city wide increase in bread prices, a rise would undoubtedly come of its own acord, said Reindl. The soaring of wheat prices would force bakers to take Individual action, said he. Assistant Corporation Counsel Leo Homstein discovered the state statute which provides for severe penalties for persons who "conspire to fix prices." In the meantime, federal District Attorney Clyne who is bringing to a close the government suit against the Chicago board of trade, in connection with the call system, has turned his attention to the plan of the bakers to raise prices. Clyne intimated that federal investigators will be at the elbows of the bakers to see that there Is no violation of any statute In the matter of fixing prices.
