Each great nation has a govern

trail observatory is assigned the ardu-
Gus work of finding and transmitting

United States Naval Observatory, SO

mer Simon Newcomb, lately deceased.
He watches the minute and second
hands. and as they approach 1885

At the exact second, 5 minutes be-
fore noon, he closes an electric tele.
graphic circuit. Instantly in all the

ascend to tops of STATS on high build

A great many of the state pure food
laws have been built from the federal
pure food law. Now the president of
the Association of State and National
Food and Dairy departments favors
breaking away from the federal pure
food law and adopting a model law to
meet the necessities of the various
states. Secretary Wilson believes that
it would be wiser to make a model
law by changing the federal law where
defects are found and the twenty-five
states that have adopted the federal
law without radical change could
amend their laws to correspond with
the amended federal law. Secretary
Wilson's plan seems to be the more
sensible. 1t would bring about I'M
ending conflicts if each state Iegisla-
ture started in to build model"
pure food law to suit it's individual ne
cessities, without thought of the harm
such action would do to firms carry
ing on interstate business.

The vacation season this year has
not found the nations official family
altogether idle. There has been job
or two of house cleaning that they
did not get to in the spring, and the
chances are good that the official
family will give the house good air
ing before it is time to get back in
doors again in the fall. In the interior
department there is scrap on be-
tween Secretary Ballinger and Chief
Forester Pinchot. The president has
asked for history of the difficulty
and he is expected to stop the fight
ing If he does not take more drastic
action. In the agricultural department
Secretary Wilson and Chief Chemist
Wiley are at loggerheads and there is
hope that they will get to the point
where the differences between them
may be wiped out. 1t is fortunate
that there is no weightier matter on
hand while the official house cleaning
is on. 1t just happens that there is
nothing else to do right now and be-
fore long it should be definitely deter
mined just who's who in the govern
ment departments.
