By this time a number of people had

the convention. To have honest weights
and measures throughout the country
Uniformity is the ultimate purpose OF
districts, cooperation must be established
between the State association and the
National Board of Standards at Wash

address of DR.. S. w. Stratton, Director
of the Bureau of Standards The Ma
tional Bureau frames the laws and regu-
lates the measures, said Doctor STRAIT
ton, but 1t is left for the State bodies
to see that they are carried out. The
National Bureau has fostered the diff

every State. In the Union will have a
body such as Pennsylvania before long.
There are nearly 200 men attending the
convention from the Eastern States. The
session this morning was given over to
addresses of welcome, reports. addresses
and election of new members. Addresses
were made by Doctor Stratton, President

There is sonly one thing certain about
this disease. and that is that opinions

The only peace possible in his or her
family Is when he or she has to sneeze.
This Is about rs per cent. OF the time
Some persons have become such eN-
pert victims OF the hay fever malady
that they can sneeze in their sleep. Others
insist on getting awake and wandering
about the house like ghotsts OF the dear
departed TO do 1t.
The victims will rise up and vilify who
