cedcral Food Administration
Issues New Regulations Gov
" erning Manufacture; Max
imum Price Fixed.
New York. Dec. 18. Xew rela
tions prescribing the amount t wheat
to be used by millers of tlic l'mtel
States i" manufacturing flour, detail
ing the manner in which the prices of
mill feeds shall be determined and
which are calculated to clToct a sav
in? of more than lO.OOO.OWl bushels ot
wheat during the present crop year
werc announced here today by the
milling division of the federal food
administration. -
The establishment of niaxiuniin
prices for mill feeds relative 1o the
cost of wheat is expected to result
in a marked reduction in their price
.Jtwl if i rxnrrted this will operate
in lower the nriee of milk and other J
dairy products.
"Increasing difficulties ot tians
portation" and "the uncertainty of the
future" emphasize the importance of
providing surpluses of wheat against
future needs and constitute the rea
sons for the new regulations, a state
ment issued by the milling division
sava. ... i
Agricultural reports indicating the
harvesting of large quantities of all
kinds of cereals during the present
crop vear determined the present as
the proper time "a time of plenty"
in which measures .should be uken to
safeguard future needs, it states, add-
!?' . ,
"Proceeding on this theory, the
food administration is bending every
effort to cfect a maximum saving in
wheat products to the end that ample
supplies may be available for home,
war and allied requirements."
Kestrirtions imposed by the new
rulings, it is declared, will not seri
ously change the present quality of
flour nor inconvenience the consum
ing public.
"The food administration is con
sent that the slight changes made
tuvessarv in the character of wheat
ilotir as "a result of the war milling
regulations will be accepted by the
American people in the spirit of ccm
fervation and that in this acceptance
they will appreciate that they are do
ing their part in aiding the govern
ments efforts, the statement cun:
tinues. It emphasizes "the wisdom of
all food-producing industries arrang
ing to co-operate with the food ad
ministration at once in effecting
economies in all foodstuffs, especially
those that can be readily exported."
Wheat Into Flour.
Prescribing the wheat content of
flour, the statement says:
"So licensee alter December 25
shall use more than 264 pounds of
clean wheat in making 196 pounds of
KM) per cent flour From the 100 per
cent flour so produced the licensee
may' at his option remove not more
than 5 per cent of clear or low grade
flours, none of which may be mixed
with or sold as feed. The 95 per cent
of the 1910 pounds of flour remaining
shall not be subject to further separa
tion or division.
Millers are directed to establish,
from time to time, a price at which
each grade of flour will be sold in
carload lots for a period of 24 hours
after such prices are established, and,
until a new price is named by the
licensee, all flour sold shall be sold at
this figure.
Margin at Mill.
margin of 25 cents per barrel bulk
at the mill above or below this price
is provided, however, for mills "in
making a price to meet competition of
mills in various territories.''

No Social Distinction
Twixt Officers and Men
Washington, Doc. 19. In re
sponse to a senate resolution ask
ing whether there are War depart
ment rules and regulations to pre
vent social intercourse between
officers and men of the army, Sec
retary Baker wrote today to Vice
President Marshall that distinc
tions of rank in the army imply no
social distinction and are solely in
the interest of military discipline.
Frequently in a country like this,
the secretary said, the advantage
of education and culture is in favor
of the soldier.
Nevertheless, he added, safety
demands that the soldier and of
ficer acquire by continuous and un
varying" practice the habit of in
stant obedience to his superior.
