in the office Of Col. w. 4. Haskell. su-
perintendent OF weights. measures ant.
markets of the District OF Columbia. ana
will be introduced In Congress shortly
after the beginning OF the next regular
session.
One calls for the establishment of Il
for bread loaves. while tho other seeks
to provide for the abolishment Of the
bushel measurement and it's Subdivisions
and the sale hereafter OF all dry com
modities on the basis or n weight unit az
100 pounds.
The net result of favorable action by
Congress on these bills. IL is claimed.
will be that consumers will obtain
about two ounces more OF bread than
they do at present when they purchase
Ia five-cent loaf. while tremendous
saving is expected to be reapod by
householders through the institution OF
the proposed system for tho sale of
vegetables and other dry commodities
by weight rather than by measurement.
Sanctioned by District Heads.
Inc commissioners are IN favor Oh
the legislation proposed by Col. Haskell
and there Is little doubt that they will
urge the reforms upon Congress.
| Both bills are rapidly being whipped
| into shape. Two years ago Col Haskell
recommended a standard weight bread
| law, but, as a test was being made al
| that time as to the constitutionality OF
| a similar regulation in force in Chi
| cago, action was deferred. Since then
| the matter has been carried through the
courts. resulting in a decision by the
| Supreme Court of the United States up
| holding the act.
Briefly, the measure to be recommend
| ed by the Commissioners will provide
| that bread loaves shall have Il standard
unit weight of sixteen ounces. Loaves
may be baked in one-auarter. one-hali
or three-quarter sizes. or in sizes of any
! multiple of the sixteen-ounce unit
| Under the proposed law bakers will not
| be prohibited from turning out non
standard loaves. but In every such case
! they will be required to attach to the
| bread a certificatfon as to the exact
| weight of the tents in order tina;
| purchasers may know how much bread
| they are paving for.

Bakers Expected to Agree.

District government officials do not an
ticipate opposition by local bakers to the
proposed regulation. They believe that
it will not work a hardship and that the
justice OF it's provisions will be recog-
niZed as readily by the manufacturers
of the commodity as by consumers.
Likewise, 1t is the opinion of the Off
Gals that the wrapI ed bread law recon-
mended to Congress will not meet with
serious objection. Many bakers. in fact,
are wrapping the loayes which they place
upon the market. 1t is believed at the
custom will be adopted generally, regaru-
less of whether there is & law to en-
force il, IL sufficient demand for this
practice is manifested by the public
Concerning the proposed method for
the sale of dry commodities by weight
rather than by measurement. Col. Haskell
and the Commiss. oners are inclined to
the view that this is an economic reform
which is much needed. and ere Is be-
lieved to be every likelihood OF Congress
arriving at u similar conclusion in the
matter.

merchants and residents of other states,
who claim that enactment of such law
by Congress for the district of Columbia
probably will lead To similar legislation
being obtained in many, # not all, OF the
states of the Union.
The principal reason for the abolish
ment of the present method of sale by
measurement iS that under this syst m
IL is impossible for consumers To pay for
definite quantities of foodstuffs. Sale
by weight, it is contended, will Simplify
marketing and make economies possible.

Here is a lovely birthday party that

There is always a preliminary anxiety

The attention of the children at the
party referred to was gained by tell
ing stories of wild animals. Whenever
an animal was mentioned in the story
the children were to give its charac-
teristic grunt, bark or roar. 1t was
not many minutes before the little eyes
were shining, and the little minds were
active in the effort to keep pace with
the artful story teller.
Then each child was given a small
tarlatan bag and was told that Turk

HOW CAMILLE De VERLAC
BECAME FAMOUS FOR
THE BEAUTY OF HER
HANDS AND ARMS
Free Prescription That Can Be Prepared
At Home.

Camille de verlac, famous for the
beauty of her hands and arms, in a re-
cent interview saysi ''If every woman
knew about the prescription that has
caused all this talk about my hands and
arms they could make their hands and
arms just as beautiful as mine. l am
glad to have the opportunity to give
my recipe free to the world. 1t will help
every woman to improve her personal
appearance" When I asked her if she
would allow me to publish the prescrip-
ton, she quickly answered: Certainly,
only too glad to have you do it" Turn
ing to a desk, she wrote it on a slip of
paper and handed it to me. Here it is:
go to any drug store, get one-ounce
bottle of Kulux compound. Pour the en-
tire contents into a two-ounce bottle, add
quarter ounce witch hazel, then fill with
water. Apply night and morning. This
prescription gives the skin a velvety
softness and oblite-eres all defects such
as freckles, tan, sun spots, roughness
and ruddiness. A single application
works a marvellous transformation It
can be applied to the neck and shoulders
with equally gratifying results. 1t is
absolutely harmless and will positively
not stimulate or produce a growth of hair.
1t is deliciously cool and soothing and is
not affected by perspiration. 1t will not
rub off, (Adv).

happy there comes sometimes such an
ebullition of spirits that the party is
in danger of coming to an untimely
end. One good way to prevent this is
to sandwich in interesting stories. and
you will find the plan of having the
children repeat after you a certain
word a good way to command atten-
ton. Passing pictures is another quiet
ing occupation. If during the year
you have saved funny pictures that
you approve Of you will find these
