LEVERS MEASURE
PASSED IN HOUSE

Washington, March 29.-The Lev
er bill authorizing the census director
to collecet and publish monthly stat.
istics of cotton seed and cotton seed
PRODUCTS was passed by the house
late to-day after an all day debate and
now goes to the senate.
Chairman Helm of the census COM
mite gave notice that he would call
up next week the Heflin bill directing
the bureau to collect and publish sta
tistics of cotton consumed in the man.
ufacture of explosives during 1915
and quarterly thereafter.
In reporting the Lever bill, Repre-
sentative Aswell of Louisiana said it
was drafted after a conference with
the census director and that it would
afford an opportunity of making free
application of the law of supply and
demand.
"The census bureau now provides
for collection of statistics from all the
oil mills regarding the quantity of
cotton seed crushed and linters OBJ
tained," he said "This bill, however,
provides for amplifcation of these
statistics and makes mandatory the
publishing of them at stated periods.
The additional expenses probably will
be about $4,000 with less annually
after the first year.
The census committee report on the
bill said:
"This bill rounds out and COM
pletes the statistics being collected
by the bureau of the census concern
ing the cotton crop. 1t provides for
the collection of data for all products
of the cotton plant which are OF COM
mercial value. .
"There has ben a great deal of
speculation, and manipulation Of the
prices of cotton seed and its products:
The prices have been increased and
decreased without regard to the &C
tual production or to the quantities OF
seed and oil on hand. This law will
enable the director of the census to
give the producer information con.
cerning the quantities Of cotton seed
purchased by the oil mills and the
stocks on hand and it will furnish the
oil man with information of this
character and also with statistics con.
corning the quantities of crude and
refined oil, meal and cake on hand,
the quantities of oil purchased by the
refneries and. the stocks on hand at
given dates. =,
"This information will lend great.
er stability to prices and enable all
people engaged in the industry to
obtain accurate statistics that Will
show at glance the actual conditions
of the market"

OUR POSTAGE STAMPS
ARE LIGHTER IN COLON

Washington, D. Given when
one sticks on a postage stamp one
faces a shortage in German dyes.
This was admitted by Director Joseph
E. Ralph, of the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing, when his attention
was called to a statement IN the
North German Gazette that lack of
German dives had caused a change
in the colors of some American pos
tage stamps.
One billion stamps are printed Dy
the bureau every month.
"It is true" said Mr.. Ralph, "that
the lack of German dyes has resulted
in a slight change in the color of our
stamps. The red 2-cent stamps are
lighter. The Scent stamp, which
used to be olive green, is yellowlsh
green. Slight color variations may
be noted in other stamps, as we have
been without German dyes for about
eight months: ,
"We have been forced to use what
you might call adulterated colors,
either imported or domestic. These
cost more and are not so good. l
recently paid in New York 81 a
pound for reds whereas this color
could be purchased year ago for
about "a cents. The new dyes have
only about one-fourth the coloring
strength of the old.
"We expect to get in shipment
of German dyes within the next few
weeks. Both England and Germany
have agreed to let this shipment come
through on the understanding that it
is strictly for Government use. When
this is received the postage stamps
will brighten up in appearance"

tions he knows by different names

iareon, Just as the most of US are
nuzzled at times by the jargon OF
