Lausanne. If Turkey insists on war to settle the question of indemnity she claims is due from Greece, then Greece will accept the gage of battle, M. Alexandria, the Greek foreign min ister, told the foreign correspondents Monday night.

New Tork. Waste in stalg bread costs the bakers and consumers of the country from $0,000,000 to $10,000,000 each year, according to the Food Ke seurch Institute, which has Just com pleted a study of the problem, says the New York Times. As a means of re ducing tliis loss, non-acceptance of re turn loaves, either through new laws, or action on the part of bakers, more efficient deliveries and better quality of output, are suggested by the institute. The principal source of loss is the re turn of bread to the bakers after It has become unsalable. The institute quotes the United States food adminis tration as estimating that in 1017 the loss from the return of stale bread amounted to "upward of 000,000 bar rels" of Hour a year. The loss varies greatly In different bakeries In the same city, and at vari ous times. Replies to questionnaires sent out by the institute indicated a very low average on the Pacific coast and a relatively high percentage In the northeastern states. The Food Research institute was es tablished at Stanford university In 1921, at tho suggestion of Herbert Hoover, by the Joint action of the uni versity nnd the Carnegie corporation, for the study of problems In the pro duction, distribution nnd consumption of food. It Is concentrating Its efforts for the present on problems related to wheat and wheat products, and it was as a part of tills work that It studied certain economic phases of the baking Industry. Losses From Stale Bread. "Losses from stale bread constitute an important item of cost for large numbers of wholesale bakers, and to some extent for retail bakers as well," says a summary of the survey. "Large stale bread losses tend to raise the price of bread to consumers and to threaten the linanclal position of the baker. Moreover, since stale bread is largely used for animal feed, or even for fuel, whenever considerable volume must be disposed of the loss occasions a needless waste of food. "Our study leads to the conclusion that, under proper conditions, stale bread losses exceeding 1 per cent of production are excessive, nnd that a figure of one-half of 1 per cent is an attainable standard. Losses above 1 per cent retlect objectionable trade practices, poor business management or both. Acceptance of returns of unsold bread from dealers is by nil odds the leading factor in such losses wherever the loss Is high. Where this practice prevails the loss is almost sure to be excessive. The abandonment of the common practice of taking back un sold bread from dealers Is essentinl to the solution of the stole-bread prob lem. This change of policy would re duce certain dangers of food contami nation as well us tend to cut clown waste. The success of a no-returns policy, however, requires careful atten tion to other measures calculated to Insure that bread reaches the con sumer fresh. Needed in Sale of Bread. The principal requirements are the following: Dread of a high-keeping quality must be baked, so that bread I clay or two old may be readily salable ns fresh. Keasonnble effort must be made to keep down the time between the baking of bread nnd its purchuse by consumers. Dealers' requirements must be gauged closely from day to day, with salesmen's orders at a basis but with adequate use of weather fore ousts and other Information concern ing coming events that affect bread sales. Production must be adjusted carefully to requirements, both in Discarded Fiances Fly to "Green Peas" Berkeley, Cal. And now comes the "Royal and Mystic Ordei of the Green Pea." The latest secret society has been formed on the University of California campus by discarded fiances. Its object, according to George Smith, its president. Is to fight the wiles of cruel co-eds who play up to men students only to cast them aside. The constitution of the order defines a "green pea" as "one who has had a hard fall, who has suffered at the hands of woman, a man who has been Jilt ed in love." The constitution provides also that the "greenest of the green peas" shall automatically become president. TRAPPED AND MARRIED own sales force In securing this ad justment. Experience In the trade shows clearly that ;hese measures are entirely practical. "If they can meet these require ments, Individual bakers can success fully enforce a no-returns policy, even when competing bakers take tack un sold bread. Competition, however, makes it difficult for concerns to adopt nnd enforce this policy single-handed. Local agreements among leading wholesalers not to exchange unsold bread often afford a practicable method of abolishing this objectionable practice. Such agreements are in the public interest, but they are not easily adopted, cannot always be enforced, and tend to break down. "Stnte laws prohibiting returns of unsold bread lave recently been adopted in six states. Their constitu tionality is sometimes culled in ques- Here is Mrs. Herbert M.

Alaskans Honor iarly Explorer Hospital to Be Built in Memory of Hudson Stuck, Cowboy, Reporter and Clergyman. Seattle, Wash. The Alaskan Indian and Eskimo friends of the late Hud son Stuck, cowboy, newspaper re porter and minister, and finally mis sionary, explorer and author, are planning a hospital to bis memory on a knoll overlooking the Yukon river, four miles Inside the Arctic circle. Archdeacon Stuck is the man who first made the ascent of Mount Mc Klnley; or, as he called It, Mount Denali, giving it the Indian name. The official records of the climb are among the archives of the American Geographical society, of which he was a member, and to which they were turned over, on his death, two year3 ago, by the Episcopal church, In whose missionary service he was en gaged the greater part of his life. Stuck, who was also a Fellow of the Royal Geographical society, has re lated the story of his perilous adven ture in "The Ascent of Denali," which was published in 1914. Distinguished Ancestor.
