METHODISTS HEAR INDERSON MAN AT COUNTYMEETING Declares Churches Should Lead All in Enforcement of the Law, By Timet Special NEWCASTLE, Ind., Aug. B—At a county gathering of all Methodists at a picnic here today, Edward C. Toner of Anderson was the principal speaker. took up the business side of Methodism from the viewpoint of a layman and also talked on law en-v-rcement. “It is difficult for the ordinary citizen.” Toner stated, “to realize that in Indiana a condition of lawlessness rould arise. Nevertheless, one of the emphatic tendencies of the days following the World War, not only in the Nation at large, but in Indiana, has been a disregard of the law.” Toner pointed out that while min isters spent much time preaching on profound doctrinal subjects, they should be taking the lead in law enforcement. “What Indiana needs,” Toner stited. “is that the Methodists, along with other denominations, should spend a time upon the concrete subject of definite obedience to laws.” Toner called attention to the fact laws are more strictly obeyed in of the Old Worla than in America. He ended by saying that if the churches would lend a hand in law enforcement, we would witness a spirited revival of good citizenship. .

Broadway’s Preparing for Fall Customers

By JAMES W. DEAN. NEW YORK, Aug. B.—This is the last week of the theatrical summer solstice. Not anew play opens. However, the buyers are coming to town. The buyers come from everywhere, from Snohomish, Wash., and Paw Paw, Mich., to buy everything from undergarments to feathers. They also come to buy front seats at Broadway shows. After they leave town these buyers “sell” the current stage attractions. They advertise the merits and demerits of the shows by word of mouth. Such word-of-mouth news is mightier tl\an any critical pen. Thus the success of many a show is dependent on the verdict of these visiting buyers. -I- -I- -iFour new plays are # listed for the first week of the buying season. They are “In Love YVith Love. Thumb Down.” “The Whole Town's Talking” and “The Good Old Days.” Then will follow the avalanche. A total of 216 plays is scheduled for production this coming season. Os course, that many will probably not break onto Broadway, tout they’re scheduled, anyway. -I- -I* -IThis hiatus in the stage season allows the attention to be drawn to the staged features in the Broadway picture houses. Many of the prologue and musical numbers at the Capitol, the Rivoli, the Strand and the Rialto are more artistic, more pretentious than some of the numbers in the flashiest of the stage revues. Maria Gambarelli. 19, has just been made ballet mistress at the Capitol. She is also the ballerina. She is probably the youngest girl in the world to hold such a dual position. This writer always has felt himself unqualified to speak discerningly on the so-called esthetic dances. Perhaps that is due to some lowbrow element in his make-up, but interpretative dances seldom interpret anything to him. Such dances, as a rule, usually distract the attention from some fetching tune. However. Gambarelli has at least added to his appreciation of Tchaikovsky's “Nut Cracker Suite” and. with Alexander Qpmanski. to a delightful revel in Kreisler’s “Caprice Viennois." Other popular numbers danced by Gambarelli are “Papillons,” “Glow Worm,” “La Gioconda' and the "Faust” waltz. If one is pursuing the arts on Broadway, the motion picture palaces cannot be passed by. -I- -I- -IS. L. Rothafel engaged Gambarelli and Oumanski for the Capitol three years ago. Oumanskis art in choreography attracted such attention that his fame spread the breadth of the land. He arranged the dances in the ill-fated production of "As You Like It.” by the American* Xrtioh.;’ Theater. He is now playing a prominent part in the Little Theater movement in Detroit. Mile. Gambarelli succeeded him as chief of the Capitol ensemble. -I- -I- -I' There is another dancer in the Capitol ensemble who has gained great distinction. She is Doris Niles. This writer believes she is the most talented dancer in New York. That in-

DREAD GOES UP, WHEAT IS DOWNWHATUWE DO? No Creditable Explanation of Uneconomic Antics in Bakeries, By Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. B.—Wheat goes down in price and bread prices go up! What’s the cause of. or rather, the answer to this situation? In a great many cities of the country today bread is selling as high as 10 cents for a one-pound loaf. Wheat is selling today at about 80 cents a bushel at' the country market. Just a short time ago wheat was selling at the country market at 11.40 a bushel and bread was selling at 9 cents for a pound loaf. Going back a bit in bread history, the Food Administration had some figures on bread costa. When flour was sold at $4 a barrel, the food administration had figures that bread could be produced and sold at 4 35 cents for a pound loaf. When flour reached $5 a barrel, bread posts were figured at 4.68 cents for a pound loaf. Real Costs Same Reason for existing bread prices caused some investigation here by Government statisticians also because of comparisons with the period of 5-eent loaves or say back in 1913. Wheat and flour prices have not advanced greatly since then. Labor costs have advanced, but it is doubted that production costs have gone up because much more of the production today is by machinery. In fact, machine labor is practically the whole of bread making. The overhead costs, including salaries, rents or taxes, have increased But taking it all, the question with the Government is whether this increase would justify an advance of 5 cents In a pound loaf of bread On the other hand, the old-time baker is passing out—if he has not largely passed out. Ten years ago, there were almost as many bakers in a community as there were grocers. Since then, the bakery business has been “integrated" until today there is a real bakers’ trust either through one gigant.c corporation or through very close cooperation. What tha. development has had to do with bread costs is another matter for consideration. Estimated Costs. Some rough estimates on what bread costs mean to the bakery trust are as follows: Wheat consumption in this country is at the rate of about one barrel of flour for each person. A barrel of flour will produce about 280 loaves of bread. On the basis of 110,000,000 people a, the United States, that would mean 30,800,000,000 loaves of bread. If the excess charge on bread today is fit least 2 cents a loaf —and some contend it is slightly more than 3 cents a loaf—the excess charge to the entire country would be $616,000,000. These figures, of course, are perhaps greater than they should be All the flour produced and consumed is not used in bread making and all the bread eaten in the United States is not baked by the bakeries and sold to the consumer. What the exact figures are is not ascertainable. These figures were just suggested to show what possibilities there are in a “bread gouge.”
