Bakeries Consolidations Hit Small Independent Shops
New York firms report that from 1914 to 1923 the U S bakery count fell from 25 962 to 18 739 while bakery product value rose from 491 893 000 to 1 122 834 000 The New York Trust Company notes that small plants face low capital needs making consolidation easy but many small bakers stay viable selling bread below larger rivals due to sweet goods profits Mass distribution remains a hurdle as bread perishes fast and must reach retailers quickly, keeping most bakeries independent.

Uphold Gas as War Weapon, Norris Warns at Williams College
Prof Norris of MIT warned that chemical warfare remains a powerful defensive tool and could be used at the start of a future war. He argued that disarmament through treaties is unlikely while factories can convert to poison gas production and that scrapping ships or shrinking armies does not ensure true disarmament. He cited women's groups as driving sentiment against chemical warfare and doubted international treaties to curb gas use.
