The more the report of the Remsen
Board-appointed by President Roose-
welt to consider DR.. WiIey's condemna-
ton of the use Of Benzoate of Soda IN
the preparation of food products-is
considered the more open it appears to
be to criticism In fact 1t seems to be
notable chiefly for the narrow scope of
its investiga tons. To be sure the
board reported that Benzoate of Soda
used i'm small quantities is harmless;
but it neglected to state that it can be
and has been used by INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturers to cover up poor
materials and uncIeanly methods
Vegetables and fruits upon the point Of
decay can be canned and sold by the
use of this preventative 1t has been
clearly shown by the success of certain
high grade firms that with the use OF
fresh materials and Clearly methods
food products may be so thoroughly
sterilized in packing that chemical
preservatives are not needed to enable
them to stand the test of time.

The new Pennsylvania pure food law
bars the use of about all the preserva-
tives which haxe been formerly used in
the preparation of food products with
the exception of Benzoate of Soda.
Whether the use of this preservative
in small quantities is or is not injurious
to the health of the consumer is still a
matter of controversy among the au-
thorities. 1t is to be noted, however.
that several firms justly celebrated for
the purity of their products are putting
up their goods without the use of this
or any other chamical preservative.

NARROW ESCAPE FOR
AVIATION BOOSTERS
PARTY IN AUTOMOBILE MISSED
BY FLYER
Machine Is Backed OF Car Tracks at
Dominguez Junction Just in
Time to Avoid
Collision

Martin c. Neuner, Dick Ferris and
Perry Weidner, members of the Avia-
ton week executive committee, mar
rowly escaped serious injury from col
lision between Dick Ferris automobile
and the Pacific Electric Long Beach
flyer at Dominguez Junction yesterday
afternoon. They were out in the inter-
est OF Aviation week, and at the auto
mobile road crossing of the Pacific
Electric tracks just south of Dominguez
Junction they pulled up because Of a
south-bound car stopping at the juno
ton. The front end of the automobile
was on the north bound tracks, but the
trio were so busy looking in the other
direction that they did not observe the
inbound Long Beach flyer.
The flyer does not stop between Long
Beach and Los Angeles, and passes
Dominguez Junction at high rate of
speed. Mr.. Neuner happened to see the
cars approaching just in time to jump
from the seat and throw his weight on
the automobile TO move it back. Ferris
reversed his engine, and with Mr.. Neu-
ner's assistance the car moved back off
the track just in time to miss the cleo
trio car by less than a foot.

FIVE DEMOCRATS IN RACE

REPUBLICANS HOLD THE BALANCE
II johnson should Vote for Funk

Name the Democrat for
the Place.

The city council will organize next Mon
day with a democrat I'm all probability for
president but which one is still uncertain.
Five of the six democrats in the council
are candidates for the presidency. The odd
man is Cooley f. Brucker, councilman
from the Fifth, who says he will not have
the place and. also, refuses to say whom
he will vote for. The other five all start
with one vote each Chis OWN with the ex-
ception of L. b. Johnson of the Fourth,
the present incumbent. who may not be
permitted to vote for himself. Mr.. john
sons vote, it is said, will go to Mr.. Funk
houser In the event that candidate de-
mands It, This leaves it to the republicans
10 make the man.
You see it is this way" said one Of the
republican members of the new council,
johnson was elected three years ago after
l1s ballots were taken. Funkhouser was a
candidate at that time. but finally ne cast
his vote for Johnson and he was
elected. Now, as turn about. It is under
stood that Johnson will vote for Junk
houser. This being the case, Funkhouser
S the only democrat who viii go into the
contest with two sure votes from his own
party-his own and Johnson's."
Mayor Dahlman says he has nothing TO
do with choosing a president of the council,
but If there is a poor man on the council
he might like to see him chosen.
The president of the council acts as
