regiment, failed to pass the examina-
ton, and was released. He weighs
only LOG pounds, and 100 pounds is
the minimum. His brother, Capt.
Chas. NJ. Greene, commissary of the
First regiment, was rejected for the
same reason. Maj. Leon R. Smith of
Fayetteville, commanding the First
battalion, Second regiment, weighs
only 1903 pounds, and was likewise re-
jected These vacancies and any 9TH

ried to Washington, and request was
made for special permission fol-
Lieutenant Mast's retention. The re-
quest was denied. Another request
that Sergeant Joseph Savage, Six
teenth infantry, U. S. A., be given an
indefinite furlough from the regular
army, so that he might take Lieuten-
ant Mast's place, was forwarded tc
Washington. Sergeant Savage has
been stationed here as an assistant to

LAW DEFINES SIZE
STANDARD BARREL

Washington, D. c., June 3.-The
new federal law fixing standard
size for barrels, which is the first
piece of national weight and measures
legislation enacted by congress in
125 years, will come into operation
tomorrow. The new law specifics
that barrels used in the sale of fruits
and vegetables must contain 1856 Gu
bic inches, which means los quarts
or approximately three bushels. The
dimensions of the barrels may differ,
but they must hold The proper cubical
contents. Fines of $500 or imprison-
ment for six months are the penalties
provided for violations Of the law,
which is to be religiously enforced in
all the states.
In the past all sizes of barrels have
been used, with the result that fraud
and deception was so prevalent that
the change became necessary. With
the new law in effect and its enforce
ment by federal, state, county and
city officials of weights and meas
ures, with the cooperation of the
trade-the so-called standard" bar
rel as provided by the law will be-
come fixity in trade channels.

the negroes had formed little groups
they could not avoid displaying rest
lessness, for it was the time of day
they were ordered to report. Finally
the negroes began edging toward the
gate and slipping away, probably
thinking they were putting something
over upon a government recruiting
officer.
