Dec. 30 lFi Ten coaches of a Southern Pa cific passenger train Jumped the rails and injured at least 21 persons in a wreck a few blocks from the Orange, Tex., station today. Six of the cars turned over on their sides, and in one of them a baggage clerk and his assistant were trapped tempor arily. Joe Jarrell and J. W. Rose, the clerks, forced open a door and clambered to safety. They were slightly injured. Two other white persons were hurt. They were R. E. Rob ertson and G. W. Bland. All four were Houston residents. The other injured included 17 Negroes, riding in a chair car which turned over. The derailment occurred over a small trestle bridging a drain age ditch. The injured were taken to Orange hospitals. A few per sons requiring only minor treat ment were not included in the injured list. The train was the Southern Pacific's crack flier between Now Orleans and San Antonio. It was coming into Orange a few minutes behind schedule when it crashed. A Pullman car and the engine stayed on the rails. R. L. Tuck, S. P. roadmaster from Beaumont, said the wreck resulted from a broken rail, caused by an "internal trans verse fissure." Such defect, he said, was difficult to detect even with exploratory instruments. The cold weather, he added, probably contributed to the break.

Med ford Bakeries Reduce Price For Large Bread Loaf Local wholesale bakers today announced a reduction in price of large pound and half loaves from 14 to 13 cents, effective January 2. One wholesale baker, In dls cussing the reduction, said "La bor costs have become an in creasingly important item in the manufacture of bread and we find that there are other economies in the manufacturing costs of large loaves. j "We therefore are reducing the price on this type of bread with the hope thav customers, seeing the greater value in the large loaf, will increase our production on this item. Flour and other materials used in bread baking, after a sharp rise at the beginning of the war in Europe, settled back for a time, but they have again begun a slow but constant rise, and at present wheat is at the highest level it has been in three years. The large loaf at 13 cents Is the greatest value we have ever offered. Many customers have also told us that they find the large loaves retain their flavor and moisture to a much greater degree than the smaller loaves, and this will materially help in crease their popularity." .
