Bakers in Boston began selling "war bread" yesterday under the food administration rules on ingredients and sizes issued in Washington. The move aims to support wartime needs with standardized loaves.
The war bread varies in appearance and tastes slightly different while costing less. It is lower in sugar, milk, and fats yet claimed to have equal food value to the old loaf. War loaf sells from 7 to 10 cents with standard sizes of one, one and a half, two, and four pounds. Housewives are urged to bake at home under public bakery regulations and avoid pro-German bread mimicking in kitchens.
The Children's Bureau outlines a wartime program to protect young children and mothers, prevent child labor and overwork, and raise fathers' incomes to keep mothers from working. Surveys show infant mortality falls with higher paternal earnings, from one in six deaths under $550 to one in 16 at $1050 or more.
In Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Jay Cox issued a temporary injunction preventing Louis Enricht from disposing of his gasoline substitute formula. Petitioners claim he planned to sell the formula to the German government despite a marketing contract. Enricht denies the allegations.
The Supreme Court today upheld the 1903 Maine law allowing cities with tax funds to establish fuel yards selling coal and wood at cost. The measure, challenged by Portland taxpayers, was affirmed as constitutional.
