Once the oil is past the inspector,
however, it loses character. Ameri-
can importers and wholesalers have
been caught-and some are now un-
der arrest for dreaming their
importations and making four gall
Ions fill containers which hold five
gallons. The extra 25 per cent of
bulk is obviously not what it pre-
tends to be. From such sources
come the shipments to many of our
local dealers.
Easily enough ne druggist and
the grocer Nay be innocent of in
tent to sell wares aot altogether
what they pretend to be. The read
ers of these columns will believe
that the great majority of our
Washington merchants intend to be
thoroughly honest. But the source
of their supply of olive oil is open
to fair suspicion, and for that sus-
picion they are the chief sufferers.
The only reasonable remedy is an
eXtensiOn-not a transfer-of the re-.
sPonsibility SO that it shall include
the sources OF supply as well as
the means of local distribution.
But as they are the chief suffer
ers and as it has been their earnest
purpose to obtain and sell olive oil
which is altogether pure, the mer-
chants do well TO meet the investi-
cations of the Health Office on broad
grounds and keep above technicali-
ties. The eject of the agitation can
only be, if they keep to this course,
to heighten the public confidence in
them, and, by directing the atten-
tion of officials to those from whom
they obtain their oil, hasten the pre-
vention of the aduIteration which
now causes them more annoyance
than it causes anyone else.

SECRETARY SHAW SEES

Head of the Treasury Deeply Impressed
by Brooklyn Sunday School

NEW YORK, June s.-The Secretary

ed the Prospect Park division OF the
marching Sunday school children IN
Brooklyn yesterday. With him were
Boro1gh President Bird S. Coler. Comp
troller Herman a. Metz, and the yener-
able Bishop Fowler.
Secretary Shaw never took his eyes
Of the little marchers from the moment
wien the Twenty-third Regiment band
led up the van 10 the time when the
last sturdy little Sunday school boy
toddled past Then he drew a long
breath and turning TO Bishop Fowler

a brief speech 10 a company OF children

A Living Wage for Firemen.

The House will consider Monday,
according to present plans, the bill
providing for an advance in the pay
of local firemen similar to the adj
vances already made to local school
teachers and local policemen. The
increase in appropriation carried is
about 100000, and the effect of it
will be simply to advance the earn
ings of the fremen TO an equality
with the pay of local policemen and
not quite to the average pay of
firemen in other cities as large as
Washington.
A memorandum was provided the
District Committee in the course
of its consideration Of the bill, in
which a private in the department
set forth his living expenses. His
pay is now 5000 a year although
had he been a new man it would
have been but $72O.
Out of that 5000 every private
must spend S69.9O for uniforms and
personal equipment. Every month
he must pay 81 into the pension
fund. In this case the mans family
consists of four persons and lives
in house which costs $50 a month.
Adding the items of food, light,
heat, and the other necessaries TO
his rent gives him monthly bills of
S74. In other words, he must spend
$SSS out of a wage of 5000 merely
to keep himself and his family alive.
The increase in his pay contem-
plated in the pending legislation will
be $50, and in the pay of the new
man of the same rank $24O, or only
a little more than they must spend
on supplies demanded by the service
they render the Government. Yet
similar advances provided for the
men in the ranks of the service
that is to say, men beneath the
grade of battalion chief-wiI con-
sumo all but S4,s5O of the whole in
crease.
''ASA LAAC blIA was Cdileu IN the
House last District day objection
to it was made on the ground that
the increases operated chiefly to the
advantage of the superior officers of
the department. AS it was about 5
o'clock in the afternoon, the House,
rather than enter upon a long de-
bate, adjourned and let the bill go
over In the light of the figures
given above, opposition to the bill
on that ground ought not consume
much time-and with that objection
answered the House should not hesi-
tate to do for the firemen what it
has already done for the teachers
and the police.

The Retailer and Olive Oil.

The situation of the local drug
gists and grocers from whom sam
pies of olive oil have been obtained
by the Health Department suggests
one of the greatest benefits prom
ised by the pure food bill. Under
existing District law these mer-
chants must either sell olive oil
which is altogether pure or state
its impurities on the lakeland that
is a very sound requirement.
But few druggists and no grocers
have time and facilities for testing
oil which is sold to them as pure.
Furthermore, if they open the orig
inal package its selling value is de-
creased beyond the limit Of any
profit; and if, when the package is
opened despite that risk, the oil is
found to be impure, they have no
redress against the jobber or whole
saler.
Once the National Legislature does
for the whole country what it has
done for the District alone in this
connection the situation will
change. The local dealer, whether
here or in a State, will pay his
wholesaler for pure oil. With the
shipment he viii obtain two certifi-
Gates of its qualii "a label which
pledges the word O. the jobber that
the contents are unadulterated, and
a guarantee which Will make the
wholesaler liable for any imperfec-
tions in the shipment and serve in
court as bar to the prosecution
of the retailer.
For years past the Government
has been fighting to keep the olive
oil of the American market as
nearly pure as the olive oil of the
press. That most of it has been
spread" or bodied with peanut
and cottonseed oils is public lxnowl-
edge. A rigid inspection was es-
tablished at ports of entry by the
Agricultural Department, and TODAY
it is believed the oil imported into
the United States is pure to all
practical tests. At any rate, the
samples of oil taken at custom
houses do not reveal adulteration.

Better Mail Cars.

Representative Small of North
Carolina has introduced a bill which
looks to construction of better and
safer mail cars. 1t orders the Post
master General to have plans pre-
pared for a fireproof, bandit-defying
steel car.
The bill ought to pass. Both
business and humanitarian reasons
dictate this. On the business side.
the Government is paying about
$6,0O0,000 a year for rental of postal
cars owned by railroads. So high
is this rental that cars are paid
for in two or three years, according
TO statements currently made in
Congressional discussion. The Gov
ernment could well afford TO own
its cars. If this is not desirable, il
certainly should insist on getting
good cars for what it pays. Good
steel cars ought to be provided
without adding a dollar to the pres
ent rental
1t is little less than criminal TO
lock overworked postal clerks into
the Himsy structures now provided
for postal cars. which are smashed
to kindling wood in every wreck.
with excellent chances that the
wreckage will be fired and the
wretched wight who may have es-
capped death in the crash subjected
