 Milk delivery is especially care fully dealt with and jars must be marked plainly as to their size, and bottles have their measure blown in tho glass A paragraph is devoted to wood cut and sawed All ice under the terms of the bill must be sold by weight and not by the piece and fifty pounds of ice paid for by the purchaser must weigh fifty pounds of ice when delivered. and the same proportion with other quantities.
 Baled hay shrink3ge is fixed at 3 and per cent for over six months ard every bale must carry tag showing it's weight
 The butcher is not overlooked by Senator Hughes and every sale must include the giving of ticket to the purchaser showing the weight of the meat purchased the amount charged for the same and the name of the purchaser and the seller. Butter sold in packages or cartons must weigh what they are labeled. eN- cept for permitted shrinkage in weight of 2l2 per cent and package printing must he in bold face type.
 On coffee. tea and all cereals a shrinkage of 21a per cent is allowed for. but on lard in cans or containers and vinegar and sWcetoils there can be no shrinkaEe and goods must be of the weight they are labeled.
 But the big thing in the bill and the part of great interest to those who will be served by the city in spector of weights and measures, is that section of the bill relating to inspection of all water, electricity and gas meters No such commodities shall be sold in the state except through inspected meters. The power of the inspector is almost unlimited in running down clues of irregulari- ties and the punishment for violation of the law may be a fine of from $5 to $25O with more serious punish mcnt for repeated violations
 Senator Hughes says Tucson has an inspector of weights and meas ures who has more than many times over saved to whole people the eX- pense of his office and he feels that if the law is good for Tucson it would be good for other cities and if good for city it is one law that would be good for the whole state. He plans to push his measure to early consideration. The number of the bill is senate bill number one hundred and forty nine.

FULL WEIGHTS
 PROVIDED FUR
Purpose of a Comprehensive Bill Introduced in Senate by Hughes of Tucson to Promote Square Deal ing


 one of the most far reaching bills vet introduced in the legislature was offered in the senate by Senator
 Hughes of Pima county entitled an
 act creating the office of state in
 spector and setlers siof weights and
 measures and city inspector of
 weights and measures; providing for
 inspection and sealing of weights and
 measures and weighing and measur-
 ing devices and defining the stand ards of weights and measures. By
 the terms of the bill it is shown
 that Senator Hughes has given his subject considerable study and thought and it's introduction accord
 ing to the gentleman from Pima was decided upon with a hope of better ing the small purchaser who in his opinion is often robbed by unscrupu- lous merchants and peddlers
 The state inspector is to be ap- pointed by the governor and serve for term of two years. In the bill his salary is not fixed. that point being considered unimoprtant by Senator Hughes and left to the senate to fill in by amendment when the measure is considered. Every two years the inspector must visit cities of 5000 population or less. and in spect all weights and measures in use. or visits may be made oftener 1 if he deems it advisable.
 State institutions are not over 1 looked and weighing machines used on receipts of goods at the institu- ton and goods delivered are to be i inspected annually The state in i spector may visit cities of 5000 l population or more but for the work l in such cities the office of city in spector of weights and measures is created Such an officer is to be appointed by the city council and serve for one year and his salary i is to be fixed by the council
 1 Both state and city inspectors have i the right to enter stores and stop and inspect delivery carts or in any other matter secure evidence con cerning weights and measures of | goods sold and to perform such duty no warrant of law is required. Where 1 two or more cities may so desire one person may serve two cities as in- | spector One special requirement un der the bill is that no inspector of weights and measures, either state
 or city. shall carry on directly or in 1 directly the business of selling
 weighing devices There is a fine
 of $1OO to impersonate either a sealel or inspector.
 Senator Hughes does not stop with a limited code of rules for his seaIers 1 and inspectors but goes into detail regarding inspection and sale of sev- eraI commodities For instance firs1 i attention is paid to bread. If the bill becomes law no bread can be | sold in the state unless it bears 2 label attached by the maker show ing the correct weight of the loaf al Ithe time it was stamped. One day old bread may weight ) per. cent les: than when originally wrapped anC stamped: two day old bread 10 pel ;, cent less. and three day old bread is termed stale bread and must b, so marked.

THE JUDICIAL RECALL.

"Whatever may be the merits or the proposed recall as a remedy for alleged judicial perversiOns, all must concede that, as a vote getter, the cIeverest politician could not have devised a propaganda better calcula- ted to catch the popular ear and en- thrall the average mind" says Bruce B. McCaY, a Denver lawyer. in be- ginning his article in the May Cen tury. on The Judicial Recall" Mr. McCay goes on to set forth the probable workings of such a measure and to present arguments on both sides of the question.

Being equal to an emergency helps one out of plightS into which the best of us sometimes fall. X certain actor came so beluted to the theater one evening when he was to play Othell0 in the tragedy of that name that he forgot to blacken his hands and rushed on the stage with them white and his face sooty. Of coarse the audience giggled. and poor Othello, when he realized the cause of the mirth, was almost unable to proceed with his part and so deeply mortified that when he made his exit after his first scene he declared that he could not finish the performance, but happy thought struck him. He procured a pair of flesh colored gloves, blackened his hands. put the gloves on and walked quietly on again. There was quite a little tittering as the Moor went on with his lines, but 1t entirely subsided as during a speech of one of the other characters the dusky lover carefully drew off his gloves, disclosing hands to match his face. Then those whose risibles had been affected felt small and awkward.
