Salem, Or.. Juno 21. To regulate the
size of a loaf of bread It will be neces
sary to resort to the enactment of city
ordinances, Mrs. Millie R- Trumbull of
Fortland, a member of a committee of
the women's division of the state coun
cil of defense, was told here Wednes
day when she sought the aid of the
state sealer of weights ana measures.
She said she would recommend to
the committee that the city council of
Portland be requested to pass an ordi
nance fixing a standard weight for a
loaf of bread which may fluctuate with
the price of flour
At first she took the matter up with
the public service commission, where
Khe was advised that the commission
had no authority in sue, matters and
was referred to the state sealer of
weights and measures. She was told
by State Treasurer Kay, ex-offlcio
state stealer, that his department was
also without authority to act in a case
of this nature.
She says that 10-cent loaves of bread
In rrtlan vary in weight from 10 to
18 ounces; and the women want the
loaf Standardized. They also are de
manding a reduction in the price of
fish, which Mrs. Trumbull said had
soared to unreasonable heights.

Portland Is going to suffer
from them this year as never
before, according to Frank Day-
ton who appeared before the
city council Wednesday to ask If
Hr that money be appropriated to

The city commissioners, ex- Jfr
cepting Mr. Baker, held that the
city could -not spare the money
to rid its river of dead eels
and Air. Dayton left, hoping r
that he could find some one
who would contribute funds if.
sufficient to eradicate the- nui-
tk sance. Mfi
Mr. Dayton declared that the
eels died by the thousands at
Oregon City and in the evenings
were washed from their holes
down the river. He said that
last year private residents had
employed individuals to remove
the eels from the harbor of
Oregon City but that this year
the price of removing eels had &
increased beyond the normal
limits.
"I've been to tl Clackamas
