BREAD SAME AS
BEFORE THE WAR
PARIS, Sept 15. The housewife of
war ridden France is paying practical
ly the same price for bread that she
paid before the war. The only dif
ft re nee in today's bread is that it is
wholo wheat and darker than the pre
war loaf. The French food minister
explained to the United Press the
methods France used to regulate bread
handling and prices. The government
Is permitted a raife of four to five
cents on the price of a loaf of bread.
All bread Is standard type, made of
wholo wheat flour and as nutritious
as white bread. The government re
fused to tax the wheat paying what
the farmers asked, then reselling the
wheat at the former prices. The tax
on the agricultural population covered
the loss. The ministry explained the
method because of the A merican
bread problem.

QUICK ACTION

LF;
Food Administration Forces
So-Called Luxury Industries
to Wait for Fuel Until the
Households are Supplied.
TENTATIVE INCREASES IM
PRICES ARE TO BE MADE
WASHINGTON. Sept. 15. The food
administration promptly acted to re
lieve a serious coal shortage and sti
mulate production. The so-called lux
ury industries will be forced to wait for
fuel until household and necessary In
dustries are supplied. Coal exports
to Canada will be placed under license
restrictions. Tentative Increases over
the President's prices will be granted
next week In certain bituminous
mines. The emergency bureau Is ar
ranging the immediate relief of acuta
cases.
Country Will Pull Through.
Although the situation Is considered
extremely seriou.s. Fuel Administrator
Garfield is certain the country will
pull through the winter without a
shut down in munition plants nr pub
lis utilities. Some luxury industries
j will be forced to close; temporarily.
Garfield is determined that no ons
t shall freece. Investigations reveal
that some bituminous operators were
unfairly scheduled, in the President's
price fixing. These will be given ten
tative increases as soon as the Presi
dent approves the new schedules
drawn by the fuel administrator
Fight percent decreases in production
for the week ending September 8th
accentuated the shortage, but the fall
ing off is believed due to the labor ray
holiday.
