Pure FOOD ACT
NEEDS Changes
The Present Law Should Be
Amended, Says DR.. Carl
L. Alsberg.
'REMEDY COOPERATION
Government Chemist Suggests Nation
and State Lend As
sistance.

DR.. Carl L. Alsberg, chief chemist of
the Bureau of Chemistry, believes that
the pure food and drugs act in many
particulars is defective and will have to
be revised. He declared yesterday at
the opening meeting of food experts who
have gathered at the invitation of the
Secretary of Agriculture to decide on
methods for cooperation between State
and Federal authorities.
The delegates, who represent State
food, dairy, and drug departments,
unanimously agreed to cooperate with
the Federal government in inspection Of
food and drugs
AS result of the agreement. State
officials will inform the government in
spectors of violations over which munich
pal authorities have no jurisdiction. In
return, the government experts, on hear
ing of a violation that is not under in
terstate law, will inform the proper Off
GERS.
DIR. AIsberE Speaks.
DIR. AIsberg, in his speech, said that in
many instances the national pure food
act is inadequate
In the end, we must have modifica-
tion of the law" said DIR. Alsberg. BE
fore the public will receive all the bene-
fit they should from the act, there will
shave to be several changes. We should
like to have the laws simpler and more
effective. There are many violations we
cannot prosecute.
Standardization of foods and drugs
will help considerably. At present, there
Is no standard. We cannot say, for in
stance, just what constitutes condensed
milk. The industry is new, compara-
lively, and no two manufacturers use
the same formula. There should be some
standard to say what strength the milk
should have"

chief chemist and present Washington
representative of the National Gamers
Association, was the host, last night.
Of the delegates and their families, at
his office at Eighteenth and H Streets

The one possible rule for successful

To find out whether fabric claimed

| wool will dissolve with this test and if
| there is any cotton in the sample il Will

To test linen material suspected of con-

water. After drying the sample place it

To test silk, soak a sample in con

Trouser Skirts.

THE long slides that are used in the
steps in the new dances now so
popular necessitate the wearing OF skirts
that will afford the required freedom Of
motion. Consequently dance frochs have
slashes and trouser effects, with draperies
which partially conceal the divided skirt.
With such a style frock petticoat which
allows of equal freedom is necessary,
which has resulted in the trouser petit
coat, which is made of crepe de chine
and has loose trouser legs which fall in
petticoat effect when the wearer is in

Last spring we were threatened with

Women had the good sense to realize
on both continents. that 1t takes q
great artist to combine many colors

Poiret says 1t is not what a woman

Even such colorists as Premet, Poiret

of one vivid color. although Poiret de-
parts from this practice more than the
others. He uses gorgeous Innings which
are most effective and give the right
note to an evening gown or frock that
will be worn in the house in the day.
No one uses such crude coiors as Poiret.
