BABIES ROBBED OF FOOD
Makers of Nursing Bottles Ac-
cused of Cheating on Sizes.

Babies are being robbed Of their nourish-
ment by dishonest manufacturers of nurs-
ing bottles, according to DR.. Fritz Reich
mann, superintendent Of the New York
State Department of Weights and Meas
Ures. In a speech at the meeting Of the
State Federation OF Women's Clubs at the
Pure Food show at Madison Square Gar
den yesterday, DR.. Reichmann said that
Of a number of nursing bottles he ex-
amined more than 50 per cent were 26 per
cent short Of the size for which they were
sold.
Mothers measure the baby's food by the
cradustions on the bottle he said, and
a bottle 26 per cent smaller than she thinks
it is robs the child Of 26 per cent Of its
sustenance."
The three girl chemists and their in
structors from the Massachusetts State
Normal school decorated their booth yes
terday with brilliant red and green tags,
dyed with soda water which is sold in
Delaney street at a cent glass. It IS

3.712 GIRLS GET TOGETHER
Races and Dances of Washington
Irving High School Association.

The girls OF washington Irving High
School had what very important mem
Der of the committee CALLED get together
party yesterday afternoon. II was sup
posed 70 be q reception to the incoming
class. but the whole school was there In
full force, and the Grand street seniors and
the Goth street juniors had Just as much fun
as the tiniest freshman.
They were all there-the girls from all six
of the annexes-and the sound of their
voices was as the rushing Of many waters
only more so. The big armory building in
West 14th street was crowded at 2:S0
o'clock, and still the numbers grew and
grew. until the overflow had to seek stand
ing room in the galleries
William .MacAndrew, the principal. says
he has 3712, and he's thankful he doesn't {
have TO buy the shoes for them all.
The march was led by four willowy
maids who, the principal thought, were
chosen by natural selection but they
might have been the committee as that
modest body has been known TO appoint
itself to honorable positions before now.
Anyway. tie whole 3,712 athletic new
women marched around that hall, in and
out and UP and down, tor an interminable
length OF time, and enjoyed II, though the
poor orchestra was reduced 10 little more
than squeak and toot.
Welcome! We greet you
Gladly here we meet you.
Welcomet
Welcome
Welcome,
And the last welcome drowned the
combined music OF the brass band, the ele-
waited railroad and the streetcars-
Then the older girls showed the newcom-
ers some of the pretty folk dances they
NAY learn If they're good and don't "cut
gym" too often.
These Washington Irving girls, as is
pretty well known by this time, want a
new building. and yesterday they showed
the city fathers they at least could hustle
for one They had building race. where
relay teams from each school piled up big
blocks with windows painted on them
Excitement ran high, but the girls Of the
s2d street school won the race.
There was chariot race next, with ten
entries. Each driver had four prancing
steeds with curly names. gayly bound with
ribbons. The red ribbons and the black
names won this race, and for that reason
joy reigns in the Grand street school.
After all that racing the girls stayed and
danced as long as the orchestra could blow
a horn.

The Vital Point.

OF course, It never occurred to SEN
ator Aldrich that a mar In his posi-
dion ought not to be a promoter Of
combinations which are actively In
terested In the rates Of duty levied
and at the same time dominate tariff
making.
The American people understand
shat they cannot well demand that
their public men shall not be inter
,ested In any line OF business which
may be affected by legislation, but the
line must be drawn somewhere. The
general impression is that Mr.. Aldricl
Is financially interested and is closely
connected with men more heavily in
;terested in businesses which are Wit
ally concerned In whether duties are
raised or lowered. They know that
Mr.. Aldrich has more to do than any
other dozen men in congress with say
ing whether duties shall come of OF
stay on and whether they shall go VI
eDr down.
That is where the shoe pinches
That Ia the moral issue which hal
given such impetus to the Bristov
charges, and II Is not disposed Of b:
MI. Aldrich's letter.

Country Not to be Deceived.

Mr.. Aldrich says the tariff has not
caused the rise in rubber prices.
That will not be believed. He says
that the demand for rubber has in
creased while the supply has de-
creased, yet in another part Of his
letter he says that his company is
producing millions Of pounds Of crude
rubber from entirely new sources.
The truth Is that Mr.. Bristow
turned the light On a man Of dicta-
torial authority at the head Of Con
gress deliberately manipulating the
tariff on behalf OF his friends, himself
and his son. This exposure has inter-
rupted the proceedings to make one
all-comprehensive rubber trust, but
there can be no doubt that such a
design was under way.
Meanwhile. the country is not going
to believe that the Aldrich crude rub
Der company has not had its share Of
profits out Of the enormous increase
In the prices of rubber goods caused
by the Increase In the tariff.

JOKE ON PRESIDENT TAFT
Nothing Was Said About Rubber In
Now Famous Winona Statistics.

Over at the back of the new tariff
law-under Schedule N, Sundries"
If you look carefully you will find
the following little item:
Manufacturers of bone, chip, grass,
horn, quilts, India rubber, palm leaf,
straw, weeds or ~whaleb0ne, not spe-
cially provided for in this section, 25
per cent. ad valorem."
Under the Dingley law the duty was
20 per cent. The house retained that
rate, but in conference 1t was In
creased to 35 per cent.
Now, If you will turn to those es-
Inmates, prepared under direction or
the senate finance committee" - Mr..
Aldrich's committee-which President
Taft used in his Winona speech to
prove that duties had been advanced
hardly at all on articles that entered
largely into common consumption, you
will find that manufactures of rubber
were quite overlooked. Under Seized
ule N the estimates say that the duty
was reduced on bituminous coal, which
T. is consumed to the extent Of a billion
dollars a year, and on boots and shoes,
of which three hundred million dol
lars worth are consumed annually;
that duties were increased on fire
works, which are used to the amount
of two million dollars yearly; but
there isn't a word about manufactures
of rubber.
You would conclude, probably,
that manufactures of rubber consti'
tuted so trivial an item that they were
not worth mentioning; that they were
about equal in Importance to manu-
features of horn, quilts, palm leaf
straw, weeds and whalebone, will
which they are bracketed in the bill
Nevertheless we imported last veal
about a hundred million dollars wortf
of crude India rubber. Hence the man
ufactures must amount to severa
times that rather tidy little sum. Ger
tainly Senator Aldrich has discovered
that rubber is not the negligible item
he thought il was when he raised the
duty on it. He has been elected direc

Worse Than Cannon.

y Crumpacker is spoken Of as a can
didate for speaker of the next house
of representatives, if it shall be Re-
publican, against Cannon. That would
be swapping the devil for a witch. In
the first place, he does not have the
ability of Cannon; in the second place,
he is a bitter partisan; and, lastly and
finally, brethren, he is a cruel hater
of the south. These are qualities, we
know, that would command a certain
support for him in his party; but they
do not make him in any sense more
desirable than the distinguished
North Carolinian who now fills the of

plvlnIna Rod POO Wears oId.

Winslow w. Fifeld of Medford,
Mass, owns a metallic divining rod
brought from England more than two
hundred years ago by n of his an
cestors. The rod, says Mr.. Fffeld, has
been used successfully all over New
England and in the western mining
districts. It Is attached to whalebone
handles IL inches long and weighs two
ounces. The handles have inscriptions
on them which are almost obliterated
by age.
The person who brought the rod to
America was Isaac Greenleaf, who set
tied in Massachusetts. The rod became
famous as a finder Of water. After
marking the place of many springs the
rod was used in California, Colorado
and North Carolina for locating by men
in quest of gold mines and other met
ais. One person who used 1t with par
