Mayor Haussling Opens Exposition.

L. Bamberger g. Co.'S "Made in
Newark" Exposition opened Monday.
Special wires had been run to the
stage in the auditorium where, at 10
O'Clock Monday morning Mayor
Haussling, in the presence of various
members Of the Board of Trade, turned
O. lever which set in motion the ma
chinery in the various exhibits. The
"Made in Newark" Exposition will be
an important industrial exhibit. In
fact, from a standpoint of machinery in
actual motion it easily takes preee-
dence over the armory show of last
spring. There are upward of one hun
dred exhibitors, fifty of whom show
the actual process by which their wares
are made. The "Made in Newark tx
position idea originated with l.. Bam-
berger & Co. last year. At that time,
however, it was impossible to do full
Justice because of the cramped quar-
ters Of the old store. The new build
ing, however, affords extraordinary fa-
~cilities for such an affair. A great deal
of space has been given over to Made
in Newark" booths and those who are
interested in seeing how things are
made will find much to interest them.
Practically every branch of local manu-
faeture is included, the exhibits run
ming the gamut from diamond cutting
to candy making. The local manufac-
turers have co-operated with l.. BAN
berger & Co. to a surprising extent,
some concerns sending as many as ff-
teen operators to the store,

tFFOrp tNc NE VIZ toTTSSpOUTcNsst
Trenton, Feb. 5.-Discussing to-
day his cold storage bill just intro
dueed In the Assembly. Assembly
mar Salus, of Atlantic county, de-
clared 1t was the first of its kind ever
put before any legislature. The bill
makes 1t unlawful for any person or
corporation to place cold storage any
article Of food unless each container
and 1t contents have first been in
spected and pronounced wholesome
by an officer Of the State Board OF
Health, local Health Board, food In
spectors or other duly authorized
agent. 1t Is made the duty Of such In
spector or at the time of inspection
to Issue a certificate stating that the
food product has been examined and
found in first class condition.
1t is further required that such ar
ticle Of food must be placed In cold
storage within twenty-four hours af-
ter such inspection. Cold storage
plant n are prohibited from re-
ceiving and storage any food pro-
ducts unless they have been so in
spected and are offered within the
t~wenty-four hours.
Mr.. Salus declared that his meas
ure strikes at the DOT of the cold
storage evil and Its effect upon the
high cost Of living. THE evil will
not be cured except In the way pro-
vided in this BILL" he stated.
Continuing, he said: Prohibiting
the cold storage of foods beyond a
specified number of months will not
reach the evil. Dealers now rush to
cold storage overstocks Of food ar
ticles and they do not reach the cold
storage until they have commenced
to deteriorate. Then the create a
short market b yholding back pure
food In order to sell this deteriorated
food. This Is the evil we must reach
and my bill Is designed to reach it.
