The milk situation was outlined by Commissioner Lewis, whea the meeting opened.

The increase, he asserted, is not due to the dealers, but to the action of the federal government It is unfortunate that the situation should arise at the present time. Judge Curry pointed out, as at this time of year business Is approaching Its lowest ebb, the volume going down about 30 per He did not think the dealers would ask an Increase if the situation arose at iRDERS TO NAVAL OFFICERS Lieutenant Commander Stanley Height Is detached from duty as nspector of naval material at San i'rancisco, in December, and ord- red to command the Yarcell.
