CONSUMER IN PERIL
.. ON NEW WEIGHT LAW
Must Fight Manufacturers to
Get What They Pay For, II
Officials Permit Lax Rules.

Hearings will be held in New York
the week of June 9 to form regulations
to enforce the new net weight law,
passed by the last Congress and ap-
proved by President Taft. On these
regulations much depends as to the
efficiency of Federal protection thrown
aLout the consumer so he can get what
he pays for in food products.
The consumer, in fact. has an unusual
amount at stake just now. Should the
recent decision of the lower court In the
bleached flour case stand. manufactur-
ers of foods would be permitted to dope
their products with poisons unless Il
could be shown these substances were
injurious to health in the amounts used.
Should the Department of Agriculture
interpret the net weight law as freely
as some of the manufacturers want its
efficiency would be destroyed.
Rules On Misbranding.
The new net weight law says food
product will be deemed to be mis-
branded:
"If in package form, the quantity Of
the contents be not plainly and con-
spicuously marked on the outside of
the package In terms of weight, meas
ure. Or numerical count: provided, how
ever, that reasonable variations shall be
permitted, and tolerances and also ex-
emptions as to small packages shall be
established by rules and regulations
made in accordance with the provisions
of section three of this act
The Department of Agriculture wants
manufacturers of food products in pack
age form to present their views. These
include breakfast food. cereal, crack
er. biscuit. candy, chewing gum, and
butter manufacturers.
On the face of IL, the new law looks
strict enough, but before II got through
Congress Z was modified in 4 way that
was satisfactory to the manufacturers.
It makes reasonable variations, tol-
erances. and exemptions mandatory. 1t
is apparent that unless the department
is extremely stringent as to the scope
of the variations and tolerances. the
public will suffer.
Could Gain Greatly.
The systematic underweighting or un-
dermeasuring of goods in package form
to the extent Of per cent, it is obvious.
would mean a big profit to the manu-
facturer OF food articles on a large
scale
Unless leagues of consumers and like
organizations busy themselves as to
these new regulations, the public will,
apparently, have little voice in the new
regulations. and, on the other hand, the
manufacturers will be extremely insis-
tent on being allowed plenty of latitude
In fact, the makers of many scent
packages want to be exempted entirely.

Win Daring Race With
Blazing GasoIene Boat

NEW ORLEANS, June s.-Four men
cruising on Lake Pontchartrain won by
a few seconds a sesational race for life
when their gasolene motorboat caught
fire mile from shore. Heading the
blazing craft for the street-car pier of
an amusement park. the passengers
taught desperately TO keep down the
flames. AS the boat struck the pier
they leaped to safety.
Less than a minute later the boats
tank exploded, starting a fire ashore
which destroyed more than 800 feet of
the pier. and caused several thousands
of dollars damage

CLOCK SAVES LIFE OF YOUTH
Sound Of Alarm at Unusual Hour
Leads Rescuer to Intended Sui
eide Just In Time.

New York-An alarm clock, whicl
began a long-continued ringing at tn.
unusual hour of $50 in the evening in
one of the rooms occupied by Meyer
Berman and his son, Michael, at 119
Forsyth street. caused Max Rubin. a
tenant to investigate. Rubin found
the son lying semi-conscious on the
floor with n gas stove tube in his
mouth. Rubin gave the alarm, and a
policeman restored the youth to con-
soiousness quickly.
Young Berman told Detectives Wood
and Spiro on the way to the Clinton
street police station that he had been
out of work two months and hungry
two days. His story was overheard
by a man In 4 restaurant, to which
the detectives took him for a meal.
The stranger said he was Philip J..
Abrams. proprietor of hotel in Tan
nersville, and that he would take the
young man there to give him a POSI-
tion for the summer.

New York Judge Finds Mysterious
Bundle, Which Police Soak
In Water.

New York-Strawberry jam caused
the scare. Jam like that which moth
er used to make-the kind that we
stole when we were kiddies, and then
got licked for the "swipin'.
When Judge Thompson of Brooklyn
returned home he found on the fourth
floor an oblong pasteboard box about
sight inches long and three inches
wide in which were what appeared to
be two metal cylinders. His curiosity
stopped then and with more speed
than grace he darted downstairs and
called up police headquarters, explain
ing that he had found bomb
Detective Ward was sent to the
house. At arms length he carried the
bomb to the police station and soaked
1t In water. while the nerves of some
of his fellow-policemen began to be-
come bit ragged.
Visions of an honor medal appeared
to Ward as he began to open the sus-
pected bomb. Everybody was breath
ing hard He severed the strings and
there was sorry-looking detective,

of strawberry jam.
