A drastic reorganization OF the weights
and measures Of New York City has been
effected by Mayor Gaynor. and the new
appointees given sharp orders for en-
forcement OF the law against short
weights and measures. Cheating by
these means is notorious, but extremely
difficult TO detect and punish. In the
poorer sections Of the city. where the
people are obliged to purchase food and
fuel In small quantities. they are cheated
right and left by short weights and
measures. The need of a vigorous cam

tice In these words. From churn to table

Now, under these circumstances, how the

Each carton decreased the butter weight
three ounces, so that the actual quantity
Of butter in a two-pound package was

Lincoln High
is Barred from
Free High Act
State Superintendent Rules it Cannot
Take Advantage Of Law and
Charge Tuition.
Crrom a staff correspondent

LINCOLN, June S0-(speciaI because
the schol board Of Lincoln insisted on
charging SIS a year for the tuition OF nom
resident pupils. State Superintendent ID. C.,
Bishop has issued formal statement that
this school cannot operate under the pro-
visions OF the free high school act
THE law provides that districts may sp-
propriate OF the taxpayers money 70
cents per week to pay the tuition Of pupils
of that district where there are no high
schols to attend the high schools OF other
districts.
The Lincoln school board concluded It de-
sired to make a little money on the PROPOSE
ton so It sent out copies OF a contract pro-
viding that the district in which the pupil
lives pay $27 per year and a promise from
the pupil that he would pay SIS additional,
making total Of s45 for the year.
Several parties who have received coplos
of the contract reported to the state super
intendent and inquired IL the contract would
be legal Mr. Bishop issued n statement
that 1t viii be illegal for any school dis
trict TO pay TO the school district OF Lin
coin any money for the tuition OF pupil
until the school board of the capital city
has filed with the superintendent a state
ment that any nonresident pupil may be
educated here at 20 cents week Without
