REGULATE? l Administrator Will i Not Fix Price of Bread, But W ill Regulate. REQUIRED to DO so 1 — I' No One Will be Put Out of' 1 Business if He Observes the Rulings. Indianapolis, Doc. 28-("Tho federal fi'id administration does not intend tn fix the price of bread, but it does bropose, as it is required to do under • ■ie federal food control law, to see' l ’hat bread is sold at a reasonable irofit." said Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana today. "A reasonable profit before the war. is a reasonable profit yet. 1 Imports are constantly being made to Washington and the federal food -idministrator for Indiana of bakers and retail grocers selling bread at prices , v.hieh aro so high as to give credence to the belief that these dealers are profiteering. It is the opinion of the i federal food administrator for Indiana i that a reasonable price for the one J Pound loaf by the baker is 7 cents unI wrapped and 7% cents wrapped. This - leaf gives the retailer a reasonable • profit when sold over the counter un-j j wrapped at 8 cents and wrapped for ; B’£. or delivered at the house on the - basis of a two pound loaf for 17 cent-. "In many cities bakers are selling the twin loaf weighing two pounds for 15 cents. “The federal food administrator does not wish to put any baker or , grocer out of business by requiring him to perform his service for less than cost, but it cannot allow a man to claim an unreasonable profit solely because his methods of doing business are extravagant or his desire for profits more compelling than his patriotism." The statement from Dr. Barnard tame as a result of agitation in Washington, Ind., where bakers appealed | to their representative in congress deI daring that they could not afford to , make and sell bread at the prices declared “reasonable” by the federal food administrator. These bakers are expected either to conform with the recommendations of the food administration or give way to the bakers who can. Carrier Pigeons Still Used. Even to day, when airplanes and wireless play a conspicuous role, carrier pigeons play their part as well. Fliers can be shot down, and wireless messages might be taken up by enemy operators. The pigeon, in many cases, is the safest carrier, for seldom the ! bird is shot down. As a rule four or j five pigeons are sent off with the same j message, to make sure that at least one will reach its destination.

THE .WTO DIMS 01 State Arc Forming Organization Under Name of “Gasoline Rangers.” A UNIT IN MILITIA I hat is Now Being Formed —Will he Subject to Call <if Governor. Indianapolis, Dec. 28 “GiiHoliim Hangers” motor cur owners enlisted, with their autos, for military trim' port service, subject to the emergem y • all of the governor, are to form ,i : new- and important branch of the Indiana State Militia now being organi - cd l.y the protection department of the state council of defense under the authority of Adjutant General Harry B. Smith and Governor James I’. Goodrich. Indianapolis car owners have taken the lead under the direction of George Harney of the protection section of the state council of defense, and enlistments are being made rapidly, with pros|>ects of an early offer of service ■ to the governor. The purpose is to organize autoowners throughout. Indianapolis and over the state, subject to military emergency call, and to use the cars and drivers so enlisted whenever ami wherever they may be needed within the slate to carry militia forces t > points where trouble or disaster menaces the public safety. The autos will be used for militia or for other military forces when needed. For example, in a case such as the tornado at New Castle, where troops were needed in a rush, a mobile corps such as the "Gasoline Rangers" now being formed in Indianapolis, coul l have been mobilized at the Monumental Circle, bodies of troops could have been loaded immediately in the motor cars at that point and the needed soldiery could have been on duty tit the emergency zone in a brief hour or two from the time of the distress signal. Oklahoma is ablest of Indiana in starting an organization of motor -ar owners for service in the war emergency. It is the purpose of the Oklahoma movement to put every auto in that state at the call of the nation. The organization is being push'd by the Oklahoma Automobile association. The Oklahoma idea includes the employment of the autos for IJberty Loan, Red Cross anti other war drives. SONGS OF THE SAMMIES (By J. W. Pegler, United Press staff correspondent.) With the American Expeditionary Army. France, Dec. 2, (By Mail.) O'a Ding Dong is still running around tin trenches—a marked rat. He is a big fellow, even for a trench rat, and the average trench rat gro.vas big as a Shetland pony, accordin." to the Sammies. A youthful infantryman caught him one night as the big fellow scampered around the dugout. The Sammy v.a standing guard, and not. being very busy guarding, he got a Y-shaped tree branch and clamped the Y over the rat's neck. I With the rat held helpless he tied a little bottle around its neck, and turned the animal loose again. The next occupants reported that the rat was still an inmate of the dugout. And the Sammies have named him Ding Dong because the bottle sounds like a bell when it strikes the flooring. n Democrat Want Ads Paj Wwit 11 j A WIIANICS MAGAZINE | 360 ARTICLES ' 360 ILLUSTRATIONS E |BETTER I -mAN EVER I 15c a copy At Your Nowsdealer Yearly Subscription $1.50 ■ Send for otir new free cat- 3 of mechanical books Popular Mechanics Magazine I « North Michigan Avenue.
