Salem has become the "Sewer

People living along Front and Wa

be' proud. They can take their
friends and visitors down to the

Salem has this undisputed cham
pionship sewed un in a sack, and
strewn all along the gravel banks
of the Willamette. We suggest that
we put on a sewer outlet smelling
competition at tho coming . state
fair, wo bet the Salem city sewer
outlets could give any other sewer
outlet in the state a handicap of
two odors and a whlf and still beat
the- combined aggregation of nil
other sewer outlets In Oregon by
tnree or lour scents and a breeze.
Salem hasn't won to this proud
position In a single summer. We
navo been developing it year alter

exploit It to the world. Since tha
time .when Sam Simpson wrote the
"Jieauuiut 'Willamette, there have
been many changes In the grand

Bakers Unable To Tell
How Hop Malt Used Here;
Not Suitable For Bread
Solution to problems like the
disappearance of Alme Semple Mc
pherson, the murder of Sylvia
Gaines and the like are nothing
compared to the baffling mystery
that surrounds the disappearance
of 1000 cases of hop malt and
plain malt, representing a total of
exactly 30,000 pounds of the ma
terial, a sufficient quantity to
make 60,000 gallons of home brew
if It were used for that purpose,

LIMIT FRENCH -
TO WAR RATIONS
Paris, Aug. 21. UP) Premier
Poincare, by the publication of his
drastic economic program calling
for a "period of penitence," has re
moved any doubt that he intends to
try to stabilize the franc, without
having recourse to foreign credits.
Such credits cannot be obtained
without first ratifying the Wash
ington and London debt accords, at
present impracticable, owing to the
political situation In France.
The feature of the premier's pro
gram is an attempt to restrict Im
ports of wheat by forbidding the
sale of fresh bread; by restricting
speculation In wheat production of
the cereal.
Other- measures of the premier
aid at the stopping of waste and the
lowering of prices. Restaurants
will be forbidden to serve more
than two principal courses, ns dur
ing the war, and committees will be
appointed to watch all branches of
the provisions trade, so as to pro
vent manipulation of prices and at
tempts to corner foodstuffs.
tion well nigh unknown to the bak
ing profession.
In a word, It seems that hop
malt Is not ordinarily used In mak
ing bread at all. The bakeries use
a malt product known as dlamalt,
one of the by-products from bar
ley. It, is put out by the same com
panles that manufacture yeast.-
Although bakeries use barrels of
dlamalt, there has been no retail
demand for It, this summer or any
other time. It would sell for less
than the other product.
"Perhaps that hop malt may be
better than I think It Is for bread
baking," was the comment offered
yesterday by one baker of more
than a score of years experience In
making the staff of life, "but I'm
convinced that hop malt wouldn't
do very well for bread baking, any
more than this would do for mak
Ing beer."
