This would be contrary to sound public I ! policy. • * • Were it a question of . transportation which we would be . obliged to hold thatf it was beyond the control of the slate, even though |. ■ no regulation has been provided by ■ Congress.

Fire Losses Decrease Food Supply Needed in War Front May 1 to October 16 (in clusive), this year, enough food has gone up in smoke in the United States, every minute, to feed 136 American soldiers one day. or to feed one American soldier 136 days. Multiply this *50.45 by minutes and hours in the 169 days in five and one-half months, and you have the stupendous sum of $12,274,050, which is the known food fire loss of the country during the period under consideration. The unknown food fire loss of the period might easily double this to tal, as there is no means of tabulat ing—or even identifying—many of these losses, which include food de stroyed by fire in residences, apart ment houses, restaurants, hotels, groceries, general and department stores, bakeries and delicatessen shops, farm barns and other build ings, and considerable amounts in transit by rail and water.
