FOOD DISTRIBUTION
METHODSCHANGING
Public Patronage Results in
Growth of Cafeterias and
Communal Dining Halls.
BY J. C. HOYLE.
Marked changes are being made in
the methods of food distribution, ac
cording to statements by Government
officials today. They declare that the
'■full dinner pall" no longer means
anything, either to the American worker
or "to the American child.
Aversion of school children to carry
ing cold lunches is responsible largely
for the crowding of cafeterias main
tained by school officials, according to
the acting chief of the Bureau of Pub
lic Statistics, M. P. Proffitt. This, Mr.
Proffitt savs, is not a childish charac
teristic alone. Housewives, profes
sional men and workers of all kinds
are exhibiting a disinclination to carry
ing bundles or to being bothered with
lunch boxes or baskets. This has re
sulted in whole-hearted patronage of
cafeterias, self-service restaurants, soda
fountains and communal dining halls.
Benefit to Children.
So far as the child is concerned, Mr.
Proffitt declares, the trend is an ad
vantageous one, since the children not
only get hot food, but they fraternize
in larger groups, obtaining both hygienic
and social advantages. He added that
the students who disliked taking lunch,
either to often took too little or threw
awav much that they did bring with
them. The more, so far as the chil
dren are concerned, has not met with
opposition from labor unions, parents
and public restaurants, and it is ap
proaching the time when the operation
of school lunch counters will be regard
ed as a public service.
Pood distributors declare that the
migration of workers from the farms to
the cities is responsible for much of
the change in the distribution of food.
This has been followed by an advance
in communal dining and an abandon
ment of the more strenuous efforts for
merly devoted to the American kitchen.
As a result, the “institution markets,”
made up of restaurants, hotels and
other public institutions, buy approxi
mately 26 per cent of all the food
manufactured and sold in the United
States. This is a gain of at least 10
per cent in the last 10 years.
Other Factors.
In outlining the importance of this,
William P. Fahey of the General Foods
Corporation declares that there are
some thousands of hospitals in the
United States which require $190,000,-
000 worth of food annually. He adds
that 100.000 restaurants serve over
15.000,000.000 meals each year, while
15.000 school cafeterias serve about
6,000,000 meals a day.
Formerly the housewife produced 80
per cent of the bread consumed in the
United States. Today the baker pro
duces all but 20 per cent. He predicts
a similar change in the cake-making
situation. The baker now produces 25
per cent of all the cake baked, and Mr.
Fahey believes that the housewife will
also relinquish this burden as time
goes on.

STEEL AUDITING
INQUIRY IS HALTED
Plaintiffs in Bethlehem-
Youngstown Prepare to
Recall Eaton.
B t the Associated Press.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, August 20
The auditing phase of testimony in the
Youngstown-Bethlehem merger injunc
tion hearing virtually was halted for
the time being today and the plaintiffs
prepared to call Cyrus S. Eaton to the
stand to support their contention that
the merger terms were unfair to Sheet i
& Tube stockholders.
Interest in the hearing perked up
considerably with the news that the
Cleveland financier, who opposed the
merger from the start, was scheduled
to testify today. For nearly two weeks
of court sessions the testimony has been
devoted almost entirely to rival audits.
Eaton came to Youngstown this
morning and attended the forenoon
session. Shortly before adjournment he
went to his hotel and returned to the
court room with a mass of papers and
documents.
A. E. Ernst of the firm of Ernst &
Ernst, which made an audit of the
Youngstown and Bethlehem companies
for the Eaton interests, testified today
in corroboration of Hassel Tippit, a
member of that firm.
Tippit presented figures through
which the plaintiffs hope to prove to
the court that Bethlehem's earnings in
1929 were quoted too high by about
$7,645,000 because of an inadequate de
preciation rate and that if the proper
adjustment had been made Youngs
town stockholders would have received
in excess of 500,000 more shares of
Bethlehem than were allowed them.
Ernst substantiated these figures’and
also testified that an engineering ap
praisal would be necessary to get a
definitie view of the asset values of the !
companies. The merger was consu- !
mated on the basis of accounting.

THREE GLIDERS CRASH
AT INTERNATIONAL MEET
None Is Hurt in Mishaps, Blamed
on Feeble Winds, at Even, in
Rhoen Mountains.
, By the Associated Pres*.
WASSERKUPPE, Germany, August
20.—Three machines crashed Monday
at the international glider meet in the
Rohen Mountains. No pilots were in
jured, but one glider was wrecked.
The machine flown by Pilot Myer of
Aix-la-Chapelle, former holder of the
Rohen endurance record, sw'ooped too
low over a wide ditch, dived into the
opposite bank, and was demolished.
Robert Kronfeld, Austrian glider
champion, attempting to avoid hitting
two spectators, was forced to head his
machine into a rock pile. One of the
wings was snapped off.
Another birdman. skimming too low
over a post, sheared off the left wing of
his plane.
Feeble winds w-ere believed to be
chiefly responsible for the accidents.
CONVICT DOES NOT KNOW
HE IS RADICAL NOMINEE
Committee, Calling to Inform Him
of California Lieutenant Gov
ernorship, Is Discouraged.
By the Associated Press.
SAN QUENTIN, Calif., August 20
(/4 s ).—Oscar Erickson is a candidate for
lieutenant governor of California on the
Communist ticket, but he doesn’t know
it, and it wouldn’t do him any good If
he did. 1
Erickson is a convict in State’s prison
here and probably will be for numerous
years to come. Moreover, he has lost
his status as a citizen because of his
conviction on a charge of criminal syn
dicalism.
It all came to light Monday when a
Communist delegation called at the
prison to notify Erickson of his nomi
| nation at the party’s convention in San
I Francisco Sunday.
Warden James B. Holohan told the
delegation it could visit the candidate
j socially, but that it would be "non-
I sensical to tell him of his nomination.”
! The delegation, not being socially in-
I cllned, elected to let the matter drop.

NANKING’S CLAIMS
DENIED BY FENG
Northern Rebel War Lord Re
ports 2,000 Nationalists
Slain Near Lenfeng.
By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, August 20.—Gen. Peng
Yu-Hsiang, commanding the northern
rebels along the Haichow-Tungkwan
Railway In Honan Province last night
sharply contradicted Nationalist claims
to Important advances in that sector.
In a communique from Kaifeng, cap
ital of Honan Province, the rebel war
lord said fighting in Honan had been
greatly hampered during the past 10
days on account of torrential rains,
which transformed battle fields Into
rivers and bogs.
Despite the rain handicap, the com
munique said, 5,000 picked soldiers of
the Kuomlnchun, or peoples army sup
porting the northern rebels, made a
desperate attack Saturday night on
Nationalist positions 50 miles east of
Lanfeng.
During the engagement, the war lord
said, 2,000 Nationalists were killed.
The attacking party carried light ma
chine guns and swords.
Gen. Feng asserted Chiang Kai-shek,
Nationalist President and leader of the
forces seeking to crush the rebels, es
caped by airplane from his headquar
ters at Liuho.
The communique also said on Satur
day and Sunday heavy fighting raged
in the neighborhood of Mamutsi, the
rebels forcing the Nationalists to with
draw. Bodies numbering 600 were seen
floating in flooded canals around Ma
mutsi.
Gen. Feng stated four airplanes from
Nanking, Nationalist capital, raided
Chengchow, important rail center in
Honan held by the rebels, and dropped
many bombs, killing 50 non-combatants.
Technical experts, he said, examined the
bomb fragments and declared the mis
siles contained poison gas.

University of Chile Urges Students
to Return to Classes.
SANTIAGO. Chile, August 20 t/P).
Heroic measures were taken Monday
by the council of the University of Chile
to bring back striking students to their
classes. The students have stayed away
since the government recently inter
vened to prevent-formation of a stu
dents’ council.
The university council decided to can
cel the present school year and open a
new one on Monday. If the students
persist in their refusal to attend classes,
the university will be closed until April, j
1931, when the regular academic year
starts.
The university reopened last week, but
the students refused to return until all
* students detained or expelled in con
nection with disorders arising from the
situation had been released and rein
stated.

[PRIME BONDS HOLD
PEAK; OTHERS RISE
Tightening of Many Condi
tions Retards Advance in
Spite of Few New Issues.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 20.—Seasoned
investment issues held to their peak
prices for 1930 in bond trading today,
while the rest of the list advanced frac
tionally.
The advance of prime bonds was
halted not so much by any slackening
in demand, for with the paucity of new
issues—there was only $2,800,000 offered
today and none on Tuesday—scarcity
values still obtain, but there was a
tightening of time money quotations.
This is usual as the end of the Summer
season comes around. Ninety-day time
loans were quoted at 2 3 i to 3 per cent,
against 2'i to 2 3 4 Tuesday.
On the other hand, high-yield issues,
such as secondary railroad securities,
more or less speculative Industrials and
the better grade of foreign bonds, which
are not ordinarily affected by money
rates, were enjoying a firmer demand
than has been the case in many weeks.
The broadening of the investment mar
ket was not hurt in any degree by the
steadiness of stocks.
, Atchison at Top.
The annoyncement that there would
be another offering of Treasury bills or
short-term notes shortly did not affect
the market one way or the other.
Liberty fourth 4Vis, in connection with
which some plan of conversion or re
funding is expected to be announced
this Fall, were a shade higher on mod
erately heavy turnover.
Atchison general 4s, which reached
a new high since 1928 on Tuesday, were
off a fraction on profit-taking by those
who bought the issue earlier in the
year around 91% to 92, but still nearly
6 points above the year’s low. This
bond is widely held by the most con
servative type of investing institutions
and individuals and is not subject to
rapid market movements. Canadian
Pacific 4s, while a debenture issue, con
sidered an extremely conservative type
of investment, were also in demand and
gained % point to a new high for the
year. Similar strength was shown by
Baltimore & Ohio first 4s, Norfolk <fc
Western 4s, New York Central 4s, Union
Pacific first 4s, Great Northern 7s,
American Telephone 5* is, Duquesne
Light 4Vis, Columbia Gas 5s and La
clede Gas "C” 5 Vis.
Convertibles Are Firm.
Convertibles were firm and inactive.
In the junior rails there were gains
in Missouri-Kansas-Texas issues, in
Missouri-Pacific 4s and in Seaboard
Air Lane 6s. Other bonds held closely
to their closing levels of Tuesday.
Industrials like National Dairy
Products 5 Vis, Dodge Brothers 6s,
United States Rubber ss, Shell Union
ss, Interborough refinding 5s and
Brooklyn-Manhattan-Transit 6s were
unchanged to slightly better.
The better grade foreign dollar
credits had a similar trend. German
bV 2 a, Austrian 7s, Japanese s ‘is —all
recent Issues—were unchanged in fair
ly active trading. French bonds held
at their high prices for the year.
The city of Denver In marketing
$13,548,000 of water bonds was able to
sell them to a syndicate at a cost of
4.01 per cent. This price clearly re
flects the high prices prevailing in the
municipal market.

FINANCIAL.
GREEK GAMBLING
SYNDICATE QUITS' -
Weakness in Stock Market
and French Tax Cut
Down Profits.
BY CAMILLE LEMERCIEIt.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
PARIS. France. August 30.—Both
the persistent weakness of the New
York stock market and heavy French *
taxation are responsible for the "death'’
of that supergambling known at "open
table baccarat,” according to the keen
observers of the fashionable cosmopoli
tan life in France’s most famous resorts
—Le Touquet, Deauville, Biarritz, Juan
Les Pins and Vichy.
For those not fully informed of ca
sino customs, it is perhaps useful to,
clarify the cryptic words “open-table
baccarat.” The table is said to be
open when the “banker” who bought
the bank—namely, the right to dis
tribute cards and to play against all
other gamblers—does not limit bets,
agreeing, if he loses, to pay whatever
amount is on the table. Such play is
particularly exciting, but no banker can
afford it if not backed by opulent cash
reserves. /
During the last few years tens of mil
lions of dollars have rolled every night"
of the season on the open table in that
famous Deauville “private room,” where A
many a croesus from the Old or New
World has won—or lost—more than >
SIOO,OOO on one card. No private for
tune could bear such a terrific pace,
and bankers at the open tables of the
French casinos are members of spe
cialized gambling trusts, the best
known of which is the "Greek syndi
cate,” which is said to have won in the
last five years about $40,000,000 in its
two main “plants,” namely, at Deau
ville and Cannes.
But last week M. Zographos. chieftain
of the Greek syndicate, cold-hearted
hero of the Deauville wild nights, gava
up, saying that he would await happier
days. Os course. Zographos is too im
portant a character to allow himself to
be interviewed (and perhaps his busi-"*
ness needs some secrecy), but his mldes
de-camp admit that there were reasons
for his retirement. First, American
“small” gamblers—those who dislike to
risk more than $5,000 on a card—did
not come to Deauville this year. Zogra
phos' associates explain that “from
those fellows we made our best returns.
Since the Wall Street crash the only
people who come to us are hardened;
millionaires. And they are shrewd old
foxes!”
Secondly, the French administration
suddenly decided to collect a 2 per cent
tax on open-table play not only as be
fore, once for all at the beginning of
the game, but at every coup. That waa /
too much for poor M. Zographos. who
said good-by to his ungrateful baccarat.

SUGAR MARKET.
NEW YORK, August 20 Th
raw sugar market was unchanged early
today, with spots quoted kt 3.16, duty
paid. It developed that late yesterday
some 35,000 bags of Cuban were sold
to local refiners for prompt shipment
and 21,000 bags to an operator for Sep
tember shipment at 3.16, duty paid.
Raw futures opened unchanged to 3
points lower under near months’ liqui
dation and selling by houses with trade /
connections, promoted by the continued
liberal*pfferlngs in the spot market and
the unsettled conditions in refined.
Houses with Cuban connections ab
sorbed the offerings, however, and fol
lowing the call, a steadier tone de
veloped and prices regained the initial
setback with the list at midday net un
changed to 1 point higher. Trading
was again mostly •in the way of ex
changing from the September to later
deliveries. The refined market was un
settled. Refiners reduced prices 10 to .
15 points to the basis of 4.35 to 4.40
for fine granulated at the opening. This
decline was followed later by an an- t
nouncement of an intended advance to
4.50 tomorrow or Friday and seemed to
promote a better demand.
BOSTON WOOL MARKET. *
