Tape Testing Device

Did you ever notice the brass plates.
each having three small holes In a
row, embedded in the cement floor OF
the corridor in the basement Of the
State House? Chances are that If you
have. you thought they had something
to do with the electric light or tele-
phone wires-anyway that Is what
everyone We asked about them said.
with the exception of the deputy SEAL
er of weights and measures. Said Mr..
Russ. and he laughed:
Few people know what they are and
what they are for. We have a set
known as steel tape testing device
and that is the place where it Is used
in testing measuring tapes or other
instruments sent to us for sealing The
plates are six in number and distrib-
uted at distances apart to f1t any
need. They begin near the north door.
the other extreme being 100 feet away.
We have large steel clamp which Is
fastened into the proper plates. Then
the standard tape and that to be test
ed are fastened into the clamp side by
side with one end attached to ten
sion device, like a set Of hand scales.
and tension applied at the rate OF 10
pounds per 100 feet Of tape. Then II
the markings on the tape being tested
correspond to those on the standard
set, 1t is correct and is SO certified
but II not 1t Is Of course condemned.
And that is what those six brass
plates in the corridor floor in the
basement are for-not for wires or
gas"

The II inspectors attached to the
Maine Automobile Registration Bu-
reau, Of which Harold P. Davis is
chief, are now scattered over the State
and all as busy men as can be found.
The great number OF automobiles from
other states now in Maine are taking
large part Of the inspectors time,
because not all Of the visitors are
careful to register, as required by our
law. when they have ceased to be
mere transient in our midst. Some OF
them do step up and inquire how
much they shall pay the State OF
Maine for a continued stay, and 9TH
ers forget that formality-so that, as
was said, the inspectors are rather
busy.
Then there are many Of our own
Maine people who forget to attend to
some of the formalities required by
the law and they have to be looked up
and at least advised to settle. If they
do not, then something else happens
to them and by the looks Of the mass
Of reports and letters concerning such
matters now on file at Chief Davis
desk at the department Of State. quite
a number of people are about to learn
more about the Maine automobile
laws than they are giving evidence OF
now possessing.
One inspector the other day in Ban
gor had 10 violators Of therlaw before
Municipal Judge Blanchard for bend
ing if not breaking the law. The judge
evidently thought the strain was a
pretty severe one, fol he fined each 50
and costs, which brought the assess
ment UP to $822. All but one paid.
Other inspectors are reporting sim
liar action in their sections. and many
cases are promptly adjusted without
going into court.
Chief Davis on Thursday heard from
the Monroe man. who lost two cows
the other day through the careless
driving of an automobilist to the eff
feet that the young man had so far
kept his agreement. in writing to him
and repeating his promise made at the
automobile bureau to pay for the cows
by Sept. next.
The number of automobile plates Is
sued to date at the bureau exceeds
$4,000, with the indications that the
registration for the year will surely
exceed 10000.

WEIGHTS and Measures

Deputy State Sealer of weights and
Measures E. A. Russ recently passed
several days in Portland, where with
the city sealer, Clarence v. Pickett,
he inspected many Of the heavy scales.
used for autos, hay, etc. One set was
condemned, others were found to need
immediate attention. but on the whole
conditions were found to me very fair.
An interesting incident Of the visit
was attending, on tho invitation OF the
Portland Scales Co., Of the testing and
re-installation of the heavy platform
scales used at the Portland post Of
flee, which had recently got out OF
order, and had to be practically re-
built. Mr. Russ says it was almost
marvellous to see these great scales,
built for the weighing Of thousands OF
pounds, register the tiny 4-ounce
weight when placed upon the platform,
almost lost as it was. So fine was the
adjustment that he offered to buy a
postage stamp If they would try to
weigh it, but even the expert said no
to that.
A recent trip Of inspection made by
Mr.. Russ through York and Oxford
and a part Of Androscoggin counties
was spoken Of yesterday, when the re-
turns were being made up and they
showed that in the period Of July II
to July 20, he visited 64 towns. Said
Mr. Russ: II did some tall hustling In
that time and If I missed any store
anywhere on the route I didn't feel
like it when I retired at night. It was
a strenuous trip"

Now The supreme court wants to,

time Louis D. Brandeis, the man who
knows more about the case than any
body in the United States, has been
appointed to the supreme court. So,
when the case is reargued, Mr.
Brandeis will go to the robing room
of the supreme court, I'M company
with the other eight justices, put on
his black silk gown, march solemnly
up onto the bench, take his seat, and
sit still for about a minute. Then he
will soIemnIy rise, walk down from

down the center aisle, out into the

room, and take off his silk gown.
