The article focuses on Vienna Bakery. In its more conspicuous feature, this is simply, an airy, cheerful, and well managed restaurant, where one gets coffee served in the Vienna fashion, where the ices and the chocolate are good, and where the prices are by no means low. The hidden purpose of this restaurant is not to make money by the sale of coffee and ices, but to tempt people to make the acquaintance of the best bread in the world, and even this is but an incident to the business of selling what is known as German Press-Yeast. However, the bread. problem is undoubtedly, so far as the American people are concerned, the most important which we have to solve.

The article focuses on political and social issues of the world. It states that there is a certain connection between riots in Italy and the high price of bread, but, apparently, only in the fact that the high price of bread made a rising for other causes opportune. What we call riots have been in reality an insurrection, long planned and vigorously carried out. The first proof of this lies in the fact that the fiercest and most protracted resistance has not occurred in poor districts, but in rich ones. The bill for the confederation of Australian colonies which has been framed by delegates elected by the latter for that purpose and is shortly to be submitted to votes of electors in different colonies before the imperial Parliament is asked to pass it, is decidedly flattering to institutions in the U.S.

Toledo, Ohio, has in proportion to its population one of the longest bread lines in the country. Relief is distributed by the municipality on a bread-line rather than a grocery-order basis, that is to say, the families of the jobless cannot go to grocery stores and other places to select their own food, as is done in almost all other cities, but must go to the city relief stations and take the packages of food already prepared for them there. Nevertheless, it must be said that the city is doing the job well, even efficiently, so mechanically indeed that there is little of the milk of human kindness or human feeling to be found in the process.

In U.S. bankruptcies in the wheat productions are increasing at a shocking rate. The U.S. Department of Agriculture predicts that the American wheat farmer will not sell much wheat to Europe before 1935 or 1936, and that he had better face the fact that he may, in the future, have, to produce wheat for the domestic market only. Americans don't eat wheat; they eat bread. The price of bread increased by 35 per cent between 1913 and 1927. During the seven prosperous years between 1922 and 1929 it averaged 9.1 cents, as contrasted with a pre-war price of 5.9 cents and a 1931 depression price which occasionally reached a low of 5 cents per pound. The wheat farmer was already in distress in 1923; when his export markets collapsed, and the present wheat surplus has been piling up since 1925.

The article presents information on the British government's policy regarding bread rationing. Czech Socialists are watching with keen interest to see whether the British government goes through with its bread-rationing scheme. This is regarded here as a test case whose results will show how far the British government is determined to pursue policies of orderly planning. The abandonment of bread rationing would be viewed here as tragic evidence that the Labor government is beginning to yield to extra-parliamentary pressure groups and is prepared to allow Britain's economy to be assimilated gradually to unfettered United States free enterprise.

This article focuses on the food problem in England. The abrupt removal of eggs from the nation's diet, coupled with the halving of the meager lard ration and reversion to war-time high-extraction flour for bread, has come as a hard psychological blow to the public, particularly since there is an uneasy feeling that one has not yet seen the full extent of this renewed enforcement of austerity. The press is doing its best to build up an atmosphere of political crisis, with talk of backbench revolts and ministerial failures.

This article focuses on some political developments related to the United States. The military officers on the frontier like to believe that it is by the strong arm alone that the Indian can be kept in order. In another news, perhaps owing to the obvious and complete failure of the eight-hour agitation and the statutes it extorted to relieve the laboring classes, there appears to be just now an incipient epidemic of co-operative associations. The primary object of most of these is to provide cheap bread, or cheap provisions, or cheap houses for their members, whose daily avocations remain as diverse as ever, but whose savings are combined to reduce that expense of living which they can least afford.

From the blank periods of life, when the instincts are satisfied with the mother's milk, to the stage of existence when our nature is toned down, perhaps by disorders for which we alone are responsible, and possesses tastes which have been engrafted upon it or developed by constant cultivation, there is a transition so insensible that the satisfaction of the appetites comes to be regarded as a matter of course, and few, except professed physiologists, have ever stopped to enquire why we must eat, what it is best to eat, and what becomes of the tons of matter which we take into the body in a lifetime. Meat should by no means constitute the largest part of a physiological breakfast. As this is very often the staple of the dinner, it is desirable to eat a considerable quantity of starchy and fatty matters in the morning. Bread in its various forms, butter, and the inevitable potato are important aids to proper nutrition.

Men and Women will differ as to the usefulness of trust. As long as laws are what they are everyone must rejoice that the government has acted promptly and well in bringing about the consent decree under which the two billion dollar bread trust is ordered to dissolve within thirty days and to surrender its charter to the State of Maryland. In other words, it was the beginning of a national food trust. As such it had to be grappled with, and it is to the credit of the Government that it refused for one moment to be fooled by those terms of the charter under which it was represented as a "corporation with a soul," intended to use its excess profits for the advancement of the American child.

This article literally appraise the book "Jordanstown," by Josephine Johnson. Miss Johnson's intentions are inadvertently revealed in the first pages of "Jordanstown." Peter Stefan, a baker, middle-aged, rosy-cheeked, and philosophic, engages some dough in casual contemplation. He bakes the bread and it is subsequently sold, and the stale remaining loaves are idealistically distributed to the Jordanstown unemployed in exchange for various services. Those same unemployed are the central characters of Jordanstown, and it might be noted that on Labor Day, as they march toward their newly built Workers' Center, they are rewarded with fresh rolls.

This article presents information on social reforms in Soviet Union. The army, it is quite evident, gets sufficient food. Generally, the rest of the population does not, at least from Government sources. But nearly everybody gets the basis of existence, his daily bread, which in Soviet Union is no longer a mere figure of speech, but a real subject for petition. Mostly the bread furnished by the Government is not daily, but drops out once or twice a week. However, this ration is at any rate a kind of spring-board off which the average citizen may jump for the rest of his food. It gives him the strength and courage to hustle for other necessities.

At Standard, on Paint Creek, there was no bread at the schoolhouse lunch which the Quakers served. On his way up the winding trail the baker had been held up by- "two ladies with a shotgun." Both shotguns and a lack of bread are commonplaces in Standard. Like a thousand other wild-cat coal mines, hastily brought into existence to meet the need and to seize the profits of the war demand, Standard went into hopeless decline when the market slumped and the hapless victims, marooned in their tottering shanties, found themselves without work and without resources. Standard is virtually at the end of the earth.

The article presents information about the book "To Make My Bread," by Grace Lumpkin. This is an unpretentious first novel written in a simple and matter-of-fact prose and yet reading it has been a more real, more satisfying experience than that which almost any other recent work of fiction has given him. In analyzing this response there seems to be no one feature of the novel that he can isolate as accounting for its appeal; certainly it is not the form of the book that makes it valuable. On the contrary, reading it has made the author realize the unimportance for a full response of what one can commonly call form.

The article comments on the life in a wide country named Junkerland.

Baroness makes with her own hands a Christmas present for every child on the estate and there are twenty-five families, many of them large. Everything for the household is a home product, an old peasant woman still weaves the family towels, the lady of the manor superintends all the sausage-making and they bake their own bread in straw-heated stone ovens.

This article presents the author's views on the issue of the decline of American bread which can no longer be ignored. The Drifter would enlist the aid of all who love their country against that abomination known as the "sandwich loaf." A country cannot escape responsibility for its bread; in most cases, in fact, the bread of a country seems to partake significantly of the national character. The Italian loaf is squat and wide like the mother of ten Italian children. Because it is made of the whole flout it is fibrous and resistant to the teeth like a kernel of wheat fresh from the field. French bread, though a bit more refined, tastes as if it were made from flour.

The article presents information on the author's experience of visiting the Spanish-French boundary during a battle.
