SENATE STRENGTHENS
PURE FOOD LAW
Report Favors Measure Placing on
Packages Quantity of Contents
Blow Aimed at Breakfast Foods.

Washington, Feb. l3.--The Senate
committee on manufactures yesterday
ordered favorable report on the mo
weight" bill amending the pure food and
drugs act. This measure passed the
House August 5.
The purpose OF the bill is to strength
en- the pure food law, though manufac-
turers have been trying to get it
amended so as practically to nullify the
effect of the sought for-change. Whether
they have succeeded or have not will
largely depend on the strictness Of the
administration of the pure food act.
The bill makes it mandatory to state
the quantity of contents Of package
on the outside in terms OF weight, meas
ure or numerical count. This is not
mandatory under the law now. The
manufacturers wanted to take the teeth
out Of the mandatory provision by al
lowing reasonable variations The
House allowed these to be made as a
matter of law.
The Senate Committee struck out the
provision in the House bill as to "rea-
sonable variations" and put in a pro-
vision allowing the department of agri-
culture TO make Eule. anu ieBuiablVhs
reasonable variations where
in its judgment exactness is impracti-
cable and requiring the department to
keep record thereof.
The committee further amended the
bin so that it shall not apply to pack
ages retailing for six cents or less. This
was especially desired by manufacturers
of small packages of candy.
One of the purposes of the bill was to
reach to packages of breakfast foods.
As most of these sell for over six cents
they win be reached by the measure as
amended.

NEW NICKEL DOESN'T FIT.
Slot Machine Owners Appeal for Change
in the Coin.

Washington, Feb. ID +. Frazier,
designer of the new nickel which the
government is about to issue, will con-
fer tomorrow morning in the office OF
the director Of the mints with the pro-
prietors of various slot machines who
declare that the new coin will not fit
the slots and thus may deprive the gum
chewing and weighed -you-wait Gle
ments of the community of some of their
inalienabe rights. They viii request of
Mr.. Frazier that if possible he will SO
modify the design that the popular slot
machine may be able to keep up its
present output. The dies for the new
coin are being prepared and it is un-
derstood that the treasury officials have
no objection to a modification if it
can be made without impairing the in
tegrity of the coin.

SCUTAR| IS IN A

Vienna. September 13.-Scutari, the
We're forced by the powers to surrender
to the International commission after it's
capture and occupation, is in a state of
chaos according to private letters reach
Ing here.
The administration under the inter-
national commission. presided over by the
British admiral, Sir Cecil Burney, is de-
clared to be a farce. The police have lost
their heads and do not seem to know
whom to obey. Everybody gives orders
and nobody pays attention to them after
wards.
The international troops are accused Of
stealing the merchants wares from the
customshouse, and the Albanian owners
are afraid to complain. The military are
omnipotent The admirals council the
highest ruling authority, Is constantly is
suing proclamations. These are COM
monty called ''wall-flowers" because they
are stuck on the walls, and then forgot
ten even by their authors.
Many of the inhabitants declare they
would rather return to the rule of the
despised Turks, as everything is 30 hope
lessly muddled especially the administra-
ton of Justice. The chief judge of the
criminal court is a French officer who
knows none of the local tongues. His
official translator is an American who
knows them all, but the version of the
case which reaches the ear of the court
is said to be that of the party who has
found the way to the heart of the trans
lator, through his pocket. Consequently
miscarriages, OF justice are frequent.

But the International commission has
brought at least one good thing into
Scutari-an abundance of music English,
Italian and Austrian military bands play
in the city every day, affording q welcome

OF politics. But the conductors of these
bands seem to be more able to- agree
among themselye es than the members of
the admirals council. After a fierce
quarrel with his English colleague the
Italian conductor was unceremoniouslY
thrown out of the city. And so the intert
national control finds no harmony even in
music. 4
An amusing feature In this international
operetta is the part played by the delet
gates from the provisional Albanian
government in Valona, who conduct tilem-
selves as great personages. They receive
s25 a day apiece from their government

actually comes from. 1t is shrewdly susr
spected that the source of supply is not

about them," concludes Miss Wertheimer.
If Birmingham wins its big auditorium
tomorrow, which almost everyone seems
sure it will do, the question of music,
good music and plenty of it, will be all
ready solved, for that would mean q
place to hear grand opera and to CON
duct big musical conventions as well as
other colossal affairs not touching the
musical interests of the city. Much of
the musical development of the commun-
ity is naturally dependent upon this bond
issue, but even without considera ton of
whether the outcome is successful there
is no reason to doubt that the season
will be unusually rich in musical attrac-
tions.
Mr. Shelby and Mr.. Burton expect to
secure a number of artists during the
winter. They have the Flonzaley quar-
tet, who are fayorites in the musical
set; Maud Powell, violinist, and Ignace
Paderewski-a trio anyone of whom is
certain to attract large audiences, and
they are negotiating for other artists

Mrs. Charles Sharp. president of the

her summer trip and is most enthusiastic
over the clubs arrangements for the sea-
son. The semi-monthly meetings will be
artist recitals of local musicians, the
first to be presented by Miss Norma
Scholar October g. Miss Scholar will
decide upon her programme. She expects
to have Mr.. and Mrs Chalifoux to assist
her with harp and VIOLIN There is much
interest in the plan of the club to col
laborate with the Mobile music club in
oratorio work and a meeting time has
been appoia.ed for the matter to be dis
cussed between representatives of the two
organizations here in October The idea
is to arrange for the presentation of a
great oratorio in the spring with an ar
tist to be selected later in the season.
The success of the auditorium venture
tomorrow will, naturally, be determin-
ing element in this matter. The choice of
artists for the Music Study has not been
completed, only the first recital having
been decided on. 1t is probable that
Luisa Tetrazzini will be secured for the
