AVENUE HERD|C SERVICE
TO Be ABANDONED SOON
Public Utilities Commission Au
thorizes That Part of Route
Be Dropped.

The public utilities commission today
authorized the Metropolitan Coach
Company to abandon its herdic service
on Pennsylvania avenue.
The order, which was issued at the
request of the company, will result in
herdics being operated only over the
former route between 18th and U
streets and 18th. street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
The Pennsylvania avenue service,
between sth and 18th streets, has been
in operation since May Is. Recently
the company requested that it be per
mitted to abandon the route, as it con-
sidered that it's equipment would not
be sufficient to insure satisfactory
service over this line during the WIN
ter.
May Be Effected Soon.
Notice has not been given as to when
the route is to be shortened. but it is
expected that the order will become
effective within a few days. 1t is prob
able that the larger herdics owned by
the company will be taken out of serv-
ice and only the smaller cars operated
over the 18th street line.
Dana S. Lincoln. president of the
Metropolitan Coach Company, was in
conference today with Engineer Com
missioner Kutz, chairman of the pub
lie utilities commission, in regard to
improving the service on the herdic
line. Following the conference COM
missioner Kutz took the matter up
with Commissioner Siddons, decision
being reached to permit the abandon
ment of the Pennsylvania avenue
permission to issue $150,0o0 worth of
bonds to improve the service also was
discussed, but this request Will not be
DISPOSED of until later.

NOT To
PROTECT FOODS
That Are Regarde ed by Author
tiles as Unfit for Human
Consumption.
eseEe,Al e yNE 7ElseaA.:..-.

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Sept. Is
interstate shipments of food products
that are regarded as unfit for human
consumption and have not been
denatured will hereafter be seized BY
the federal authorities, no matter
what labels they may bear:
In an opinion published In the
last issue OF the Service end Regu-
.1atory announcements. the Bureau OF
Chemistry of the United States De
partment or Agriculture holds that
the label is no obstacle against sucn
products being used for food. Before
they can be shipped, therefore, In m
terstate commerce they must be rena-
tured that they can only be used TOT
technical purposes.
Another opinion deals with pros
pectiye violations of the law compell-
ing all food products shipped in IN
terstate commerce after September
g., 1914, to have the net weight
stated on the label. The department
holds that the burden of proof rests
upon persons guilty of such violations
to show that the products in question
were either prepared or imported
prior to September 3. Persons Wno
cannot prove this will be subject TO
the penalties prescribed by the 1000
and drugs act.
Opinions on the correct branding
OF canned vegetables, poultry food
and cheese are also announced. Ac-
cording to these, the use Of sugar IN
canning does not justify the use OF
such terms as sweet corn, sugar corn
and sugar peas. These terms must
be reserved for the varieties of the
vegetables In question which are dis
tinctly sweet and which are known
as sugar corn or sugar peas in their
natural state.
When shipped in interstate COM
merce or otherwise subject to the
food and drugs act. all skinned OF
part skinned cheese must be plainly
branded SKINNED" or part skim
med" in accordance with the facts,
ON the wrapper containing sucn
cheese. Where the cheese is OF the
size commonly sold uncut to one Gus
| toner the rind of the cheese itself
must bear the statement.
| In regard to poultry foods, the Bu.
reau holds that certain amount OF
calcium carbonate or calcium phos-
phate is to be considered as poultry
| food, and that when this amount i
not excessive. no statement in regard
to the quantity of grit is demanded
by the federal law.
