Albuquerque. - Patsy Gonzales, a
member Of the Albuquerque fire de-
partment, was shot four times and in
stantly killed by Leopoldo Macon,
wealthy young sheepman of this state.
Trouble between the two men arose
over the divorced wife of Macon. Ma
zon and his former wife had supper to-
gether at a downtown restaurant. Re-
turning home they were followed by
Gonzales and D. j.. Armijo, assistant
cashier of the First National Bank.
After seeing his former wife home,
Macon came out on the street where
the two men were waiting for him
Macon says both men advanced to-
ward him and that Armijo said, Don't
get funny or I'll fix you" Macon then
opened fire, killing Gonzales. Armijo
was not hurt. Armijo denies Mazon's
statement and declares he was two
blocks away when the killing took
place. Mrs. Macon was given a divorce
and awarded $4,000 alimony several
months ago.

Baby's Eyes.

The value of $4,000 is placed by a
California court on the eyesight of n
child, destroyed through the careless
ness of an attendant at the child's
birth. "A pair of baby's eles are
priceless" said the court.
And so they are-they cannot be pur-
chased at any figure. The mere none
tary recOmpense to the parent is moth
ing. For what mere money will atone
to the mother in her brief that her
child must be doomed to a life
of night?
The eyes are priceless; they thrive
on care; they suffer from indifference,
carelessness . overwOrk, Overstrain.
And when they go they never return.

NEW NET WEIGHT
AND MEASURE Law
Day of the shert-weisht Mar
q Thing Of the Past.

The last Legislature enacted what is
popularity known as the ''Net-Weight
and Measure Law. requiring all foods
put UP for sale In package form To
be plainly, and conspicuously marked
on the outside OF the package to show
the actual net weight. measure or nu-
merical count of the contents. This
law Is now effective and will be en-
forced by the Dairy and Food Com
missioner.
All foods which are usually sold in
packages by weight must have the
net weight expressed in the largest
units and fractions thereof of the
the package marked or printed on the
outside thereof All liquids or bev-
erages sold in containers must be
marked to show the net volume in the
package, and such food products sold
in package form which are usually
sold by count must have marked on
the outside of the package the exact
number of the articles contained in
the package. This brings the Virginia
law in line with the Federal law and
the laws Of other States. and 1t will
have a wholesome effect of doing away
with short weights or approximate size
packages of foods. II the housewife
will provide herself with pair o.
scales and Will take the trouble to
verify the weights of her purchases OF
food products. the days of the short
weight man will be numbered, and II
will be found at the end of a period
that there has been a most consider
able saving in the household expense.
