MUCH MlssRAND,Ne BEING DONE

All American housewives are now
familiar with the little label which
reads Guaranteed under the pure
food and drugs act" which
IL pasted to cans and jars
containing food products and to
medicine bottles purchased from the
grocer and druggist. The words do
net. however, mean what they are
commonly supposed to signify, a fact
smade quite clear by DIR. Frederick L..
Dunlap. one Of the government chem
lists who is charged with the duty Of
assisting In the enforcement Of the
pare food law. In explaining what
the supposed government guarantee
means. he said:
DO not be misled into thinking
that the legend Guaranteed under the
food and drugs act. serial number -
means that The products bearing such
legend .0ES necessarily pure, unaduE
terateA, and properly branded. All
hat this means Is that general

partment Of agriculture. which acts

and has, to facilitate business. issued

efal guaranty. It means, further. that
- the goods to which fhe legend and
serial number are attached are found
to violate the Law In any way, and
provided the serial numter Is the

the goods are purchased. the one who

Judgment and self-cOntrOl. are the more
readily undermined. This consideration
leads to the fair assumption that the

It is evident from these facts that
if we hope to check the consumption
of cigarettes we must rely upon edu-
cation rather than upon law. The
place to begin and to continue that ed
ucation is in the home. 1t is one of

homes evade or ignore. Parents are
lax in supervision. They fail to keep

ROYALTY IN BUSINESS.

In medieval times war and the chase
were considered the only labors suited
to royalty and the nobility. To steer
clear of trade and business was re-
garded as the imperative duty of every
man of rank.
Times have changed. Some of the
of business in the commercial sense
The emperors of both Austria and Ger
many are proprietors of great porce
lain factories conducted on lines fav-
orable to employer and employees and
yielding large returns.
The k-is himself draws many of the
designs used in his works and has in
stituted a liberal system of pensions
and pratt sharing for his workmen.
The king of Saxony conducts a similar,
but much smaller industry. The king
of Wurtemberg runs two hotels which
brings him a revenue of $4,000 a year.
King Leopold of Belgium has piled
up millions in the Congo rubber trade,
but he proves as dishonest in business
as in politics and everything else. Other
royal personages who are in trade or
pose. as captains of industry might be
mentioned.
Until a very recent period it has been
considered beneath the dignity of wo-
men of rank or gentility to engage in
any paying vocation. This idea i'm
generally in the south before the war.
but today even royal ladies are going
into business, Queen Elizabeth of Rou-
mania, besides being a professional
journalist and author, keeps a book
shop in the capital city of Bucharest.
The queen of Portugal is proprietor
of medical dispensary in Lisbon and
delights in serving customers and put
ting up prescriptions herself. She has
studied medicine and has founded a
hospital which she supervises. The
possession of a large inherited fortune
enables her to do all this in charity.
Queen Marie Antoinette and her
court ladies played at keeping dairy
and got lots of fun out of their bu:-
ter and cheese making. Great ladies of
our day go into business not for pleas
ure but for profit. Several of them
have opened millinery and dressmakine
shops in London, Paris and other Eu-
ropean capitols, and there are royal Ia
dies who take pride in making their
own gowns and being expert "Haus-
fraus"

THE LAW AND THE CIGARETTE

Among the so-called sumptuary re-
forms of the time is that Of the legal
embargo upon the use of cigarettes.
says the Portland Telegram. Within
the past few years there has been
great agitation upon this subject: and
In many of the states considerable
law making, calculated to check the
evil of cigarette smoking. and especial
iy among boys In some states, as we
know, it has been made illegal to sell
cigarettes; and. so far as statutory en-
actment goes, the general status of the
cigarette problem is apparently much
improved.
But, between what has been prompt
ed and hoped for by rational people.
and what has been accomplished to-
ward the suppression Of the cigarette,
there is wide and discouraging di
vergence. On the heels of all the agi-
tatlon and lawmaking we are told on
statistical authority that we are an
nually making and selling SIS. 500. 600 0oo
cigarettes. In the language of the
street this is going some" if e con-
slider the matter nicely. 1t is esti-
mated that there are between 500 ono
or 100000 cigarette smokers in the
country; there may be more. there NAV
be less. But, taking the maximum as a
fair basis of computation. it means
that each smoker disposes of $3.50
cigarettes in the course of the wear or
an average of twenty-three and frac-
ton each day. Legal restriction has

Just what proportion of this cigarette
smoking is done by boys is the grave
question. A question impossible tn no
determined; but nevertheless dis
quieting. The boy who smokes cigar
cites is apt to be the most reckless
consumer; for the reason that the boy

OWNER OR CHAUFFEUR?

The question of the just measure OF
responsibility of the owner and the
chauffeur, in case of automobile acci-
dents. seems to be puzzling the courts
of New York.
In a recent case, Cunningham VS..
Castle. the owner was mulcted IN
damages because his machine had
Knocked down and injured the plain
tiff. there being no evidence of con-
tributory negligence on the part of the
latter.
But the appellate division of the SUI
preme court reversed the lower court
on the ground that the trial judge had
overlooked the testimony of the de-
PENDANT, to the effect that at the time
the accident occurred the machine was
in the possession of the chauffeur. to
whom it had been loaned by the own
er, and who was taking some of his
own friends out for an airing.
The majority of the appellate judges
decided that under such circumstances
the owner could not be held respon-
sible; but Justice Houghton, dissent
ing, argues that because the chauffeur
was using the machine with the own
er's permission he was still engaged In
his employers business.
Justice Houghton refuses to recog-
nize the employers brief interval OF
responsibility. But under the majority
decision new trial must be had, in
which the chauffeur will be the defend
ant. with the chances that a verdict
against him for any considerable dam
ages will be uncollectible, and poor
consolation to the plaintiff.
The growing use and Importance of
the horseless vehicle and the increasing
number of accidents point to the neces-
sity of securing men of sterling char
acter, the highest skill and the great
est possible responsibility for chaM-
feurs.
The lives of the occupants of the ve-
hicle and the passers-by are to a GER
cases of accidents it has been shown
that the chauffeur took the machine

and, in such cases, even under the dis
senting opinion of Justice HOughton,
the owner of the motor car could not
be held to any responsibility.
The skill and character of the
chauffeur can be insured by tests and
license requirements; but it is not to
be supposed that such an employee will
be in all cases a man of financial re-
sponsibility Men of Independent means
are not likely to seek such employ
ment. They would be more likely to be
employers, or be driving cars of their
own.
In cases where the chauffeur is en-
tirely to blame and financially irrespon-
sible, people injured by the car he
is driving are practically without rem
edy in the shape of damages. The diff

the employees in some responsible fidel-
ty company.

it could be paid for either by the en-
ployes or the employed, but in either
case it would have the effect of Sc
curing the employment of a man of
good qualifications and character, and
at the same time would constitute some
measure of protection to the exposed
victims of the motor speed mania.
