ONLY PURE ITALIAN
OLIVE OIL EXPORTED
Report That Adulterated
Product Sent to America
Groundless

Rome, August 16.-The royal Italian
ministry of agriculture. industry and com
merce has recently taken action in re-
spect to false statements and rumors that
have been circulated in America concern
ing the Importation of Italian olive oil
into the United States
The reports have alleged that much
adulterated Italian oil has been sent out,
and that practically no genuine olive oil is
exported to America. The investigations
of the ministry have disclosed that these
statements and rumors are absolutely
groundlcss, and have evidently been in
spired for trade purposes The law in
Italy prohibits the sale, as olive oil of
anything except genuinely pure olive oil,
and provides that whoever places on sale
mixtures OF oil, other than olive, shall
place on file with the municipal authori-
ties declaration to this effect and at
the same time label the containers in con-
spicuous characters SO as to show the ex-
act nature of the oil sold. and moreover,
he shall place on the premises where such
oil is manufactured or sold notices that it
is mixed and not genuine olive OIL"
This law is enforced most vigorously
throughout the whole of Italy.

Joyous tournament nevertheless.

Propose Statue to RObespierre
The last person connected with French
revolutionary history to whom one might
care to raise a statue might we'll be sup
posed to be Robespierre Among all the
sinister figures of the reign of terror
his name ought to discourage such an
enterprise, yet periodically there are pro-
posals to honor genius Of destruction. At
the present moment the same proposal is
repeated that the name of the famous
writer be placed at the head of the list of
subscribers. The project will probably
never go farther than did any of the
previous ones. The astounding thing is
that there should be men and even wom-
en- disposed to glorify creatures like Rob-
espierre. Why not erect statues to the
patreleuse of the commune or honor
the furieses, well as the three graees.
