PAGE FIVE BREAD IS PEGGED AT JULY 23 PRICE BY OTTAWA BOARD Vancouver Challenge Is Met as Millers, Bakers Order- ed to Share Tax Ottawa, Aug. 8 -- The Wartime Prices. and Trade Board today met the challenge of Vancouver bakers jumped their prices one . Yat and ordered that the of bread must remain at the July 23 before the 15. cents- a-bushel a tne tax was put on wheat. This levy, which amounts to 70 oents ga barrel on flour, must be shared between the millers and the bakers, the board ordered. Most of the bakers have hesitat- ed to advance prices. The new tax adds less than a cent a loaf to costs the Wartime Prices Board holds that an increase of a cent is not Justified. The board's order effective to- morrow, is, in effect, a standstill command until the whole subject of bread prices can be studied. No announcement would have been made until after this study was completed if the action of the Van- couver bakers had not forced the board's hand. This is the first time that the board has fixed a price of an every- day commodity. It did for a time last year fix -the price on certain types of wool. In making today's ruling, the board said "the concerted action of bakers in 3 Western city in in- creasing bread prices immediately had left the board with no alterna. tive." Its order, said the board, "is to prevent exploitation of consumers 'of bread and flour while the impli- cations of recent legislations are being studied." The processing tax of wheat mill- ed for domestic human consump- tion was announced two weeks ago Pp) dn the House of Commons by Trade * Minister MacKinnon as being » effective at midnight July 23. Mr. MacKinnon sald the 15-cents- a-bushel levy was not sufficient to cause g rise in bread prices and later suggested that the Wartime Prices and Trade Board, under Hector B. MacKinnon, would be the authority to guard against in- creases. The processing tax is collected by the miller when he sells the flour and is turned over monthly to the general fund of the Canadian 'Wheat Board. * It was imposed to bring domestic prices in line with production costs rather than the present de- pressed world prices. The tax brought on considerable debate In the Commons, members feeling the tax would result in bread prices being increased at least one cent a loaf, They asked for a tax 'of at least 50 cents to justify any increased cost to consumers. Mr, MacKinnon said he had been in- formed by his departmental experts that the 15-cent tax justified no Xise in prices to consumers and he doubted there would be any. In the first Great War the Board of Grain Supervisors in 1917 fixed the price for the 1917 wheat crop and millers' profits were pegged at 25 cents a barrel on flour, with 60 cents allowed for manufacturing costs. Under g license system the price of bread was controlled, but still allowed what the Canadian Food Board report termed "reason. able" profits. CARBON DIOXIDE 15 SURPRISE. GAS OF PRESENT WAR Saves Aviators from Fire-- Aided Germans Cross Flooded Rivers New York, Aug. 8.--The gas sur- prise of this war is harmless car- bon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is the fizz of soft drinks, the collar on beer, the stuff that nature pfit in the air to make man breathe regularly. With all nations set for poison gas as a result of experience in the first Great War, carbon dioxide stole in the back way. It ferried the Germans across flooded Holland lowlands and Eu- ropean rivers. It is saving aviators on both sides from fire and from drown- ing. The facts about the war uses of this gas come' from Walter Kidde, New York ghgineer who was one of the pidneers in use of carbon dioxide for fire-fighting. He pour- ed gasoline .into the hold of a derelict ship 'at London, lighted it and snuffed it out with jets of carbon dioxide before a surprised audience.' A bottle about twice the size of the family quart-of-milk container is attached to folded rubber boats. It is filled with liquefied carbon dioxide, whic: is carbon dioxide gas under pressure. The turn of a valve releases this liquid, which expands so fast it rushes out as gas and inflates a large boat in a few seconds. That's how the Nazis crossed the water defenses of the lowlai/s. Similar bottles, of the ges in three seconds .inflate the rubber life rafts of aviators dropping into the sea. The fighter who has to bail out over water yanks a cord on his vest.

When a cadet crash re- sults in a flaming plane, the dry brigade, in asbestos suits rushes up with projectors that send a snowstorm on the plane. The waon dioxide vaporizing from the dry ice--not thes cold-- holds back the flames so the cadet may be rescued even if the plane burns.

Taking into consideration Cana- dian and American production on British account, Britain's monthly accumulation of planes now ex- ceeds Germany's. Although production parity with Germany now has been achieved, it may take a long time to eai-into Germany's numerical superiority, but there are several factors indi: cating that this goal also will be reached. There is every reason to believe that Britain's productive capacity can be increased still further while, if Germany has not reached her peak, she must be reasonably clos: to it. Nazis Face Shortage Germany, despite the accumula- tion of supplies in France and other conquered countries, must face a shortage of raw materials as time goes on because she is held in the grip of the sea blockade. No one in an official capacity will estimate Germany's aircraft pro- duction, but: it is believed to be in the neighborhood of 1,500 to 1,600 a month. Some idea of the relative activity of the British and German alr forces may be judged from the fact that in a recent month the Royal Air Force dropped 33,431 bombs on Germany and Germen-occupied ter- ritory while Reichs Marshal Her- | mann Goering's planes were drop- tration of Men Power In response | uest from Hoh, James Gard- Minister of National Service 0 a rea iner, of Scouts to act as messengers stration cgntres, answer tele- \ information clerks vs. An import- z in securing ant Tb will be assistin the registrat | i! and unable to reach a registrat- ion of persons who are | ping 6987 bombs on this country.

Although this may seem lke a regular armada of planes, it repre- | sents only a fraction of the re- sources at Mushal Goering's com- | mand and, in the opinion of ex- more crews after the Battle of France. Another reason why the blitz- krieg has not started was the ne- cessity of repairing roads, bridges and railways in France and Bel- glum, which were destroyed in the May-June campsign. Since June 18-19 Germany has lost 307 planes in raids over Bri- tain. British losses have been 172. These comparable figures of con- firmed losses do not include prob- able losses of damaged planes which might crash before getting home. Authoritative sources deprecated reports that the German air force is suffering a loss of morale from the operations over Britain. The average age of prisoners captured is 26 and they are de- scribed as a "tough, truculent lot, quite capable and worthy repre- sentatives of the flying service." Among them are 17-year-old boys, but they are far from being repre sentative of the whole service. CAMBRAY CHURCH PASTOR INDUCTED Lindsay, Aug. 8 -- Rev. C. B. Brethan, of Woodville and Lindsay, presided at the induction service in Cambray United Church for Rev. Preston Brown, of Inverary, Ont, succeeding Rev. Gordon Maxwell who has been appointed incumbent at Paisley. Assisting in the service were Rev. J. J. Black, of Lindsay, who preach- ed the induction sermon, and Rev. H. H. Hillis, of Little Britain, who gave the charge. The minister was conducted to the pulpit by Charles Shier and the presiding minister performed the final rites of the ser- vice, The newly inducted minister pronounced the benediction, 10,000 PERSONS SAVED IN YEAR BY COASTGUARD U.S. Service in Marking 150th Anniversary, Re- calls Perils of Deep Boston, Aug. 8. -- The oldest branch of the United States armed forces--the Coast Guard--is cele- brating this week its 150th anniver- sary. It is privileged to turn the log back through an unbroken re- cord of service often more perilous and varied than that of any other government department. The Coast Guard shares the hazards of war with the srmy, navy and Marine Corps, but has neither armistice nor peace while the seas remain broken and unbridled. Last year, more than 10,000 lives were snatched from peril, often in hairbreexdth rescues, and vessels and cargoes valued at $63,723,566 were assisted to safety, where otherwise they might have found Davey Jones' capacious locker. Totals for the current year probably will be ap- proximately the same and for sev- eral years rescues have averaged 8,000 or 9,000. Originally established to collect revenue and prevent smuggling and piracy, the Coast Guard since has been essigned manifold duties. It enforces law in remote Alaskan settlements where no courts sit, and it guards the annual migration of seals between Alaskan and Southern waters. Since the Coast Guard was entrusted with the international ice patrol, after an iceberg claimed the glant liner Titanic and 1,517 lives in 1912, no other vessel or passenger has met such fate in the North At- lamtic steamship lanes. Originally equipped with a few small wooden sailing vessels, the Coast Guard now commands a large modern fleet, including 34 cruising cutters, 115 patrol boats, 52 harbor craft, 86 picket boats and 65 aire craft. FRENCH SCOUTS 125,000 French Scouts and 50,000 French Girl Guides did splendid, tireless work for refugees from Bel- gium, then other thousands from northern France, Sadly, their own fate now is obscure, under the Ger- man yoke.

Reasons For Raids One of the reasons for these nightly raids is Germany's need of giving pilots and air crews experi- ence in night flying. Another if to feel out Britain's defences. A third is to provide the German people with communiques recording ter- rific damage all over Britain. So far the German raids have produced very little damage in this { country and relatively few casual- | ties. hes photographic proof of the dam- age its bombs have caused to Ger- and military concentrations. Experts here say the reason for this is the relative superiority of R.AF. pllots, navigators and sir crews and the experience gained in night flying over Germany for months past. In addition it easier to find the way over Ger- many because of the long straight roads, the extensive canal system, big rivers and other landmarks.
