Made in Regard to Articles of Food
Sold in Package Form.
MONTPELIER, Dee. .. - The bicn
NAL report of the state department of
weights and measures, the first report
10 make its appearance, has been issued
and contains some interesting data and
recommendations.
Commissioner George f. Carpenter,
who succeeded Hugh II. Henry June ],
1915, had but two inspectors working |
for the department and he gives brief
ly the field work of the administrator.
He SAYS that even with one less inspec-
tor the department accomplished more !
actual work than the year previous and
the state was covered more completely ". |
: Among all records, continues the re
port, short weight in butter occurs too
Frequently. The moulds in use i'll many
ereameries are too small and if a uni
Gorm method of using proper moulds can
be obtained mould shortages will occur
less often. A condensation of daily
reports develop the fact that out of
1915 purchases of butter which the pub
lie might make ut various stores in the
state, 800 of these purchases would not
be up to standard in weight, and 364 of
them would be overweight; that out of
2S4 like purchases of grain, the public
would receive full weight in 81 in
stances, and would receive overweight
in 10 instances. The conclusion reached
in this instance is surprising-45 per
cent of miscellaneous commodities,
grain and butter, were inaccurate in
weight.
The report includes a table which
shows the number of places visited,
tests made and expenses and while the
number of places visited has increased
from $500 in 19l4-19lj with four in
spectors, to $3.50 in 191j1916 with
three inspectors, an increase of 50 per
cent, the cost per visit has decreased
from 1896 to $l.52, a decrease of 49
per cent.
The commission reports that addition
al office room is needed and states that
the department is not receiving sufh
scient cooperation from the public t.
make the results as far reaching a,
they should be.
The commissioner recommends
change in No. 16l of the acts of 1910
as amended by acts of 1912 and 1915
so that the commissioner may appoin
inspectors who shall be paid not to cx
coed 81 600 per year, and the salary O
each to be determined by the commits
sioner.
The commission also urges the pas
sage of the following law:
An act relating to net contents 0
certain packages.
Section l. No person shall sell, kce
or offer for sale, within the state, an
article of food in package form uulcs
the net quantity of the contents shall u
plainly, conspicuously and correctl
marked on the outside of the packaq
in terms of weight, measure or numcr
cal count.
A penalty of $500 is provided f.
violation, but it is so worded that 4
penalty shall be enforced arising fro
the sale of food prepared prior to OF
year after the passage of the law.

Curious Tobacco Pipe eorer.


Travellers among the Sioux Indians
are very much impressed with the
perfect smoothness of the bore in their
pipestems. Popular Science says.
Without the use Of . tool of any kind
they make a perfect bore in the twigs
of ash trees which they use for must
cal instruments and for pipes. To
accomplish this end they employ the
larva of a butterfly which inhabits the
ash tree. The Indians remove the
pitch for about three inches from the
stick they wish to be bored. Into this
cavity they place N of the larva of
a brown butterfly, which gradually
eats its way down through the pith
until the bore is completed. A little
heat applied to the wood expedites
the work of the larva. The Indians
consider both the tube made in this
way and the larva as sacred as their
idols.

DAMAGE SUITS
COST S44ADAY
Ell Paso County is Goat"
For Damage Suit Law
yers in Other States.

Is FL Paso county being made the
goat in the trial OF personal injury
damage suits against the railroads OF
the southwest?
It is estimated that it costs the
county an average of s1S1 to try per-
sonal injury suit. An average OF three
davs is required TO try case and
this means S25 for the trial judge, $50
for Jurors and about Sc for the sheriff,
all Of which is paid by the county.
The cost per day, according to this
estimate Is nearly $40:
large percentage Of the suits
growing out OF injuries sustained in
California, Nevada, Arizona and New
Nexico. are filed in the FL Paso county
1914. over so damage suits have been
filed I'm the local courts where the in
iuries were sustained in these states
and that, Of that number fully two
thirds were for injuries sustained IN
The question has been raised as to
WHY the cases are not filed in the
county and state in which they origi-
Jurors. as a class. are more unfavor-
able 10 the railroads and more in
clfned to award large damages, ac-
cording to local lawyers. It is
charged also that there are doctors in
Ell Paso who appear frequently in
damage suits as witnesses for the
plaintiffs The charge is not brought
against Ell Paso doctors as a class,
but only against a few who. it Is al
Legged make n practice OF testifyinB
ana receive fees for their services.
One Suit in Year.
Up to last December the Southern
Pacific. its is stated, had had only
one suit filed against IL in Los An
geies for personal damages, the vast
majority Of the suits filed being
brought to Ell Paso.
The cost to the county, of course, is
not the only cost 1t costs one rail-
road entering FL Paso $500 10 try a
case where the accident happened in
California. Five days were required
to try the case and at $44 per day the
cost to the county was S22O. The
plaintiff admitted that he had never
before been in Texas and paid no taxes
in the state.
some Cases Feigned.
It is common knowledge that, in
some cases, the injuries alleged TO
have been sustained are feigned. In
some cases where damages have been
awarded the court Of civil appeals has
reversed the lower court by reason OF
late evidence showing remarkable re-
coveries after tbs trial in the district
court.
90 Per Cent Outside of State.
Damage suits are filed in all Of the
district courts-the 41st, Gath and 65th.

that court, and of the cases tried dur
