GREAT MENACE TO NATION.
Loose Marriage Laws So Classed by
Rev. John C. Ball.

Better TO have a law that says no
before marriage than one that permits a
Reno after marriage" declared Rev
John Compton Ball in his sermon In
Metropolitan Baptist Church yesterday
One of the greatest dangers threatening
the nation. he declared. is that of loose
marriage laws and still looser ones gov
erning the granting of divorces.
Marriage, according to the patsor, is
more than a material mating.
1T is spiritual sacrament" he de-
clared. 1T is more than civil contract
Ii is a divine ordinance. Wedlock is the
basis and bond of society. Make light oil
marriage and lives are ruined, homes
broken up, society wrecked and our gov
eminent undermined
The modern dance hall, the pastor de-
clared Is also a menace to the nation.
Fashions, he said, contribute to the
danger to the nation. Some one has said
we import our fashions from London, and
London from Paris, and Paris from hell.
In this day and generation we leave out
London, and Paris becomes our middle

Secretary of Commerce to Speak at
Conference on Weights
and Measures.

Secretary Redfeld of the Department
of Commerce is scheduled to deliver the
opening address at the eighth annual
conference OH weights and measures or
the United States which begins its Ses-
sions at the bureau of standards WedneS-

federal agents. representatives of the
bureau of standards, scientists engaged
in the work of standardiZing weights and
measures and other government officials
The opening session is to convene at ~
O'Clock Wednesday morning.
Papers on Law Enforcement.
During the progress of the conference
papers will be read on the enforcement
of laws governing weights and measures
throughout the country, sby state and fed
eral authorities alike, with other papers
and discussions on the methods of deal
ing with problems affecting the inspec-
ton of weights and measures. The aim
of the conference is to obtain honest
weights and measures. to require that
commodities shall be marked in such a
way as to show exactly how much the
purchaser is getting for his money, and
to insure that he gets all he pays for
Another purpose of the conference is
to bring about uniformity between the
several states in the matter of weight of
commodities per bushel. etc. For instance,
i'm Massachusetts "A bushel of cranberries
IS required to weigh thirty-two pounds,
while bushel of the same fruit in Mich
iyan must weigh forty pounds. In Wis
II 81 .fyNx, hao atcyh
only forty-two pounds, while in North
and South Dakota a bushel of turnps
must weigh sixty pounds. Thirty-five
pounds OF unslacked lime make a bushel
in Kentucky, while many other states re-
uuire eighty pounds. Pennsylvania
buslel Of potatoes must weigh only fifty
six pounds but in New York, New Jer-
J sey Ohio. Maryland and West Virginia

For Uniformity of Weights.
Third door, Tenth ST.

To secure uniformity between the sew
eral states in matters of this kind. as
we'll as to obtain the enactment and en-
forcement Of net weight laws and similar
legislation, the standardization Of barrels
and other containers the size of which
now depends largely upon the caprice of
the individual manufacturer or the GUS
tom of the vicinity, are also among the
matters to be taken up and discussed at
the conference.
Many of these problems have a vital
bearing on interstate commerce. At the
present time the only federal law regard
ing barrels is one passed by Congress last
August, which established a standard
barrel and standard grades for apples
packed in barrels. That this law should
be greatly broadened and Its scope made
general is the contention of the federal
and state weights and measures officials.

paper you say: Watch out for the
tramp. If he appears at your back door
and asks for food it will be all right to
give it to him, but show him the wood
pile and let him work for il first. The
honest man will willingly work to ap-
pease his hunger"
Now this seems to me very good
suggestion. 1t also reminds me of an
experience of my own probably fifteen
years or more ago, at Mosier, when
came along late one afternoon, and
stopped on my way to my homestead in
Upper Hood. River. lehad book, but
no money. also had an appetite but
no food. So | tried to trade some

perhaps something else, besides being
also good hearted, advised me to call
at the Mosier boarding house, as !
might trade muscular exercise for
warm grub. did so. Mrs. Mosier was
good, sensible woman, and as her
husband had crippled his shoulder a
short time before, she showed me the
wood pile, and after | had worked
awhile, she came out and told me | had
earned my supper, and if wanted to
have hed for the night could work
little longer. which did. Then she
invited me in the house and treated me
just as politely as if had lots of cash
and had paid her for what got. | had
the pleasure of listening to experiences
of earlier days, also heard one of her
daughters play on the piano. When
bedtime arrived, | was shown to nv
rooms, and had good nights rest in a
good bed.
So the wood pile proposition worked
all right in this case. OF course we
know all ''tramps" are not alike.
Some are no doubt criminals, Others
are noble hearted men, and il is no
doubt best to Judge not according to
appearances, but judge righteous iudg.

accidents of time and chance. Chance

not there. But he who from the dark
