Tuttle Bill Discussed.

The futile barrel bill brought up the
chief. discussion of the morning. Many
Representatives of different fruit grow
ers' associations and commissioners OF
weights and measures from different
states, as delegates from the confer
ence. spoke for and against the bill,
the testimony in the main being ia
vo"able.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
a standard barrel was needed all over
the country. and that machinery for
the enforcement of the standard should
be provided for in the bill. The ques-
ton of the cranberry barrel figured
largely in the discussions. The cram
berry interests of the country have
been demanding special barrel for
their product claiming that the stand
ard barrel for flour is too large for
their purposes.
The hearing this morning brought out
the fact that practically all interested in
the bill are in favor of a special cram
berry barrel. Louis A. Fischer. chief of
division of weights and measures at the
bureau of standards. was one who spoke
in support of the cranberry barrel. as did
W. L. Wagner of Chicago.

This Judgment is best acquired by
the study of anatomy, which explains

can only be produced by carefui study
