Lausanne. If Turkey insists on war

Greece will accept the gage of battle,
M. Alexandria, the Greek foreign min
ister, told the foreign correspondents
Monday night.
I"he Greek delegates, he added, will
be withdrawn from the near eastern
conference this week if Turkey per
sists in her reparation demands.
Ihe Turks have given no indica
tion of an intention to recede from
their reparation demands and M. Alex
andra declaration mat Greece was
resolved not to pay one cent of in
demnity brought increased pessimism
in conference circles.
The Greek foreign minister denied
that lie had come to Lausanne in a
bellicose mood, but said the Greek
army had been reorganized since the
overthrow of Constantine and was
now well equipped and able to take
care of itself.

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.

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-

though not yet fully observed, they

of Hudson Stuck, Cowboy,

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.

Stuck's Grave Indian Shrine.
When he died two years ago and
was burled, according to his wish, In
the native graveyard not far from the

shrine. Stuck Is to them a "dry
