able to Save Unfortunate
Boy.

While bathing at the mouth OF the
tidal basin near the entrance TO the
Georgetown channel about 2:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Peter Marshall.
eighteen years OF age. OF 619 Essex court
northwest, got beyond mis- depth. and be-
Ing unable 10 swim. was drowned.
At the time OF the accident, the un-
fortunate youth was bathing with TIVE
companions. who when he cried for as-
sistance, went TO his rescue but were
unable 10 save him. His body was later
recovered Dy the police OF the Harbor,
precinct and taken TO the morgue. where
Victor Marshall a brother of the de-
ceased. Identified it. Coroner Nevitt was
notified of the drowning, and after IN
vestigating the circumstances. issued a
certificate OF accidental drowning. The
remains were removed to an under
takers establishment last night.
Boys Proposed to Teach Him.
Yesterday afternoon Marshall began
10 feel the heat. and when someone pro-
posed going bathing he readily ac-.
quiesced. and Ii company with William
Keppler, Of 458 H street northwest. and
William H. Wilson. of 7l6 Eleventh
street northwest, left the home of his
brother. with whom he lived. and made
for the cooling waters OF the Potomac.
At first the boys thought Of getting a
boat and rowing out into the river, but
later decided TO walk around to the en-
trance OF the basin. and there teach
Marshall how 10 swim as the water
in that place is not very deep unless one
goes pretty far ont.
The three boys quickly got rid of thei-
clothes and We're soon splashing around
In the cooling waters. MarshalFs two
companions, both OF whom are good
swimmers, gave him a few instructions
as TO the ART OF swimming. and he start
ed in with enthusiasm 10 master the
aquatic sport. Finally he got an idea
that he was getting along fine. and al
though his companions warned him, he
went into deeper water He played
around IN the water a short distance
from his friends, and there was nc
thought of danger, until suddenly he

tioEs were found practtced to such &
degree as to alarm the most hardened

In the face of bitter resistance from
some manufacturers and importers and

OF Agriculture have gradually forced an
abandonment of efforts 10 bring in such

still required.
Relabel Privilege.
In the case of products merely mis-
branded to deceive buyers and not nee
essarily hurtful, reIabeling is permitted
although notice has been given that the
privilege of relabeling after arrival at
a port in this country shall cease after
September l. OF this year. The reIabel-
ing now permitted has to be in conspicu-
Gus letters, so that the purchaser of
imported food products now has no ex-
cuse of being deceived as TO the charac-
ter of the articles he is buying
In some respects misbranding of foods
is as serious as the use of deleterious

Officials Of the Bureau OF Chemistry
point out that the great difficulty in the
way of affording the public complete
protection in the mater of food is The
lack of any law giving them control
over interstate traffic in foods Until
some sort of pure food law is en-
acted, there will be room for aduItera-
