The workingmen Of America have
been given a veritable emancipation
by the legal recognition Of a mans la
Dor as part Of his life and not mere
marketable commodity, by exempting
labor organizations from processes Of
the courts which treated their MEM

not like accessible and responsible in
dividuals, by releasing our seamen
from Involuntary servitude, by making
adequate provision for compensation
for industrial accidents, by providing
suitable machinery for mediation and
Cancellation in Industrial disputes and
by putting the federal department Of
labor at the disposal of the working
man when in search Of work.
We have effected the emancipation
Of the children Of the country by re-

for a century. We have sought to

You will still be at 1t 20 years from

But the marvel of 1t all is not the

The things you bat besides the ball

And pummelled out batch of over
lures that beat the Dutch;
Drove puny bass and treble clef to
thunder mighty battle
And made the windows and the
doors of hell and heaven rattle.
The roaring forest tempests from
their stringy threats he strangled
And put a pair of pants upon the
Art with which he wrangled.
And 1t may be, Sir Honus, that the

Are cousins of the oak baton that

For what he did with notes and bars

LENGTHY MEASURES
ARE QUITE DECEPTIVE
Don't Hold So Much As They
Look, official Says.

Shape as we'll as capacity counts
with the West Virginia department of
weights and measures when It comes
TO passing on the measures with
which the corner grocer is wont to
mete out his goods for pay.
So declared Howard Jarrett, chief
clerk in the department at Charles
ton. in commenting on the regulation
OF the department in the matter Of
bottomless and double measures,
which were tabooed by Commissioner
J. II. Nightengale Immediately after
, the weights-and.measures statute wen
into effect.
Measures Of these kinds, said
Jarrett, ARE deceptive You take
the standard shaped halflbushel FOR
instance 1t contains just so many
cubic inches, and 1t will hold bush
ell OF potatoes that will weigh just
he same as the half-bushel our
grandfathers bought Take another
half4bushel of the long cylindershape
and it will measure just the same
number of cubic inches capacity.
Yet the department commends the
use of the one and puts the ban or
the other.
"The reason is that the measure
made in the shape OF the bottomless
or double measure will not hold as
much as the standard-shaped recep
tacle. Fill the standard measure
with potatoes, turnips or apples, fol
instance, and then try to fill them in
to the other and you will have part
OF the contents left over. That Is
why the departments regulations are
made strict in this regard"
The specifications provide that the
capacity of all measures shall be in
dicated on the sides. and that in the
case OF all cylindrical dry measures
OF one-half bushel Or less the top o.
the measure must be greater in diam
tere than the bottom; and severe
penalties are provided for infractior
OF the law and regulations.
Sealers Of weights and measures
have been appointed in the greater
number of counties none in Berke
ley. In counties in which the county
court fails to appoint sealers it Is
the duty of the sheriff to serve with
out pay. Three cities have appointed
sealers These are Wheeling, Hunt
lngton and Parkersburg
FIFTY million dollars have been
saved to the people of New York
