Every Potato Barrel is ..short.n

New York, July 9.-Not one barrel
Of potatoes of the $4,000 barrels con-
sumed in this city every day measures
up to the quantity fixed by law This
is asserted in letter sent today to the
wholesale produce dealers by Clement
]. Driscoll, chief OF the bureau OF
weights and measures.
Mr.. Driscoll writes:
This seems to be another so=called
trade CUSTOM but is it interesting to
note that we are as yet unable to find a
trade custom which operates in the
interest OF the consumer, but have found
that every trade custom which has
come to our notice operates against the
consumer.
To understand the viciousness OF
this so-called trade custom you have
only to picture pickpocket setting up
as his defense that the act OF putting
his baud in strangers pocket was a
trade custom and therefore he was
innocent. ;"
The law provides penalty of 50 for
each Short barrel. F"

day 1T Bethany Plain where the man
birds again swarmed through the air.

were perfect and the flyers expected to
break other records. The meeting will
end tomorrow.

the crime OF civilized man-havc in

more of that disregard for the truth
