As a means of re ducing tiiis 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, ft; e suggested by the inst.tute. The pr licipal source of loss is the re turn o f bread to the bakers after it lius become unsalable. The Institute quotes ti.e United States food adminis tration as estimating that in 1917 the loss from the return of stale bread amounted to “ upward o? (JOO.OOO bar rels" of flour a year. The loss varies greatly in different bakeries lu the same city, and at vari ous times. Replies to questionnaires sent out by the Institute indicate 1 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 the suggestion of Herbert Hoover, by the Joint action of the uni versity ami the Carnegie corporation, for the study of problems In the pro duction. distribution and 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 this work that It studied certain economic phases of the baking Industry. Losses From Stale Bread. “ Losses from stule 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 ngisuuiers and to threaten tiie financial 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 wuste of food. “ Our study leads to the conclusion that, under proper conditions, stale bread losses exceeding 1 per cent of production are excessive, and that a figure of one-half of 1 per cent is an attainable standard. Losses above 1 per cent reflect objectionable trade praetb'es, poor business management or both. "Acceptance of returns of unsold bread from dealers Is by aJI odds the leading fuctor In such lossen wherever the loss is high. Where tills practice prevails the loss Is almost sure to be excessive. The abandonment of the conunou practice of taking hack un sold bread from dealers 1« essential to tbe solution of the stale-bread prob lent. This change of policy would re duce certain dangers of food contami nation as well as tend to cut down waste. The succaos of n no-returns policy, however, requires careful atten tlon to other measures calculated to Insure that bread reaches tlis con sumer fresh. Needed in Sale of Bread. “The principal requirements are the following : Bread of a high keeping quulity must he baked, so that bread a day or two old may be readily salable as fresh. Reasonable effort must be made to keep down the lime between the baking of breud and its purchase by consumers. Dealers' requirements must he gauged closely from day to day, with salesmen's orders as a basis, but with adequute use of weather fore casts and other Information concern Ing coming events that affect bread sales. Production must be adjusted carefully to requirements, both in amount and in time. Bakers must cul tivate the support of dealers and tlielr own sales force In securing this ad justment. Experience tn the trade shows dearly that these measures are entirely practical. " I f they can meet these require ments. Individual bakers can success fully enforce a no-returns policy, even when competing bakers take tm k un aold bread. Competition, however, makes It difficult for concerns to adopt and >nforce 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 sre in the public Interest, but they are not easily adopted, cannot always be enforced, and tend to break down. “ State laws prohibiting r-turns of unsold bread have recently been adopted In six states. Their const.ra tionality Is sometimes called In ques tlon. but has not yet been tested. Al- tliongli not yet fully observed, they have clearly facilitated reduction In stale bread losses."

T. Maxey CRATER LAKE Ages ago a great, tail, volcanic peak, which has been called Mount Manama, occupied "a place In the sun" in the southwestern part of Oregon, about half way between Portland uud S in Francisco. The volcanic action within this mountain produced heat of such intensity and In such quantity that the entire top melted, fell in and disap peared. Naturally, utter desolation trailed such a tremendous convulsion. Nature in her mysterious workings, aided by- time. changed tins condition of affairs and produced a striking geological spectacle which Is one of the scenic masterpieces of this earth. The open ing or crater in the top of this topless peak gradually filled with water which formed a beautiful, deep blue lake— hence the name, Crater Lake. This lake, almost circular In shape and about five miles across. Is perhaps the deepest body of fresh water on eurth. The surface of this lake Is more than 6.0UO feet above sea level. No inlet or outlet has been discovered. Its waters escape through underground channels which doubtless reappear elsewhere In the form of springs. New waters come from other springs and heavy snows. A belt or girdle of cliffs towers grotesquely above the lake and slope down sharply to the edge of the water. The lake Is invisible until one has climbed to the rim. The look down Magnus Johnson.
