But the DANES Are Envious of the
Charms of the Chickens.

Denver. Oct. 2S.-If the chicken
chorus in some girly-girly show were
transferred from the stage into some
schoolroom and seated before a few
books and teachers, the effect would
be not unlike that of the modern
class of high school girls. in the opin-
ion of Mrs. b. +. Nichols, a delegate
TO the mothers congress-. now in con
yention here.
High school girls these days wear
their waists too low and their skirts
too high" said Mrs. Nichols. They
go TO school dressed like nymphs in a
Greek dance and they paint and pow
der like Comanches on the warpath
They ponder over algebra TO the us
tie of silk and satin dresses.
Why To attract the attention OF
the boys. | suppose. a good many OF
them spend more time thinking about
the boys than on all their lessons
combined. They are boy crazy and
when it IN to flirting they've got
the average soubret backed off the
boards"

SHORT MEASURE
SOME COMPLAINTS FILED ON
GASOLINE VENDING
MACHINES.

Vermillion, Oct. 28-Many COM
plants have been made TO the state
food department office here and to
department inspectors concerning al
legged short measure OF gasoline given
by owners of gasoline pumps and
vending machines. The food com
missioner is also state oil Inspector
but claims he is powerless under the
law to prevent short measure in gas
oline vending machines. That the
inspection OF such machines is a mat
ter of urgent need Is shown by adj
vice received from the bureau Of
standards, Washington. ID. G. An in
.vestigation made by that bureau has
shown that large numbers of such
machines give short measure and
that the American public is suffering
enormous losses annually as a result.
Some types OF machines are inherent
ly incorrect and others permit tam
pering by the dealer.
Another cause of much complaint
during the past year has been the
quality of gasoline sold in the state.
The standard fixed by the state oil
inspector prohibits the sale of gaso-
line having a gravity less than 81 de
grees Beaume. Considerable product
having a gravity of SIS degrees TO Sc
degrees has been shipped into the
state, but the inspector has insisted
that this be sold only as naphtha. III
is believed that there have been very
few violations Of this requirement.
Barrel shipments received by indi-
inspectors. but if any consumers have
viduals are seldom inspected by state
reason to believe that the gasoline
they buy is of lower gravity than the
standard, or lower than the value
marked on the barrel, samples will
be examined at the laboratory here
and all cases will be investigated.
The law requires every barrel TO
show the minimum gravity of its con
tents and prohibits the use of any
false or fraudulent claims on barrels
or other packages.
