FOWLS WEIGHT,
URGES SWEENEY
Chief of Standards Renews
Recommendation Regard
ing Standard Loaves

Recommendations that all fowls
should be sold by weight and not by
count and that the same be done
with commodities now sold by dry
measure and a strong renewal of the
suggestion that there be q standard
weight for loaf of bread are made
by James Sweeney, state chief of
standards, in his annual report to
Secretary of Internal Affairs Paul
w. Houck. Mr.. Sweeney's report is
flled with bewildering array of fig
ures of examinations and tests made
by sealers of weights and measures
throughout the state, the examina-
tions including every thing used for
measuring from scales of grocers
and coal mines, yard sticks, milk
jars and oil pumps.
In urging the amendment to the
law relative to sale of poultry the
chief says that in many parts of the
state chickens and ducks are sold by
weight and that it should be uni
form, and he says that there should
also be legislation whereby all
wrapped meats should be regarded
as package goods and the net
amount of weight be indicated on
the outside. Now, he says, the con-
sumer has to pay for the wrapping
which rs utterly Valueless to him.
being at the present prices a bur-
den. Mr.. Sweeney says there is no
reason why there should not be a
standard loaf of bread and voices
the belief that if it had not been for
the abnormal conditions brought
about by the war, there would have
been favorable action on the pro-
posed legislation, and he gives warn
ing that after the war people will in
sist upon knowing what they are
buying. There should be a thirty
two ounce and a sixteen ounce loaf
provided and nothing in the provi-
sions should prevent an eight ounce
loaf.
Commenting upon the times, the
chief says that any man who de-
frauds the head of n family in food
deserves no leniency or sympathy
of the court but the fullest penalty

During the year there were $780,
$40 tests made of weighing or meas

County Schools Need
Lantern For Lectures

Need of lantern to project slides
so that illustrated lectures can be
given in the extensive series of meet
ings in county schools this year was
pointed out to-day by Professor f.
e. Shambaugh, county school super
intendent. At the beginning of the
school year Professor Shambaugh
outlined an extensive campaign of
meetings in county schools in order
to increase educational interest and
to arouse a patriotic spirit to CO.
operate with the government in
every movement in tn esuccessful
prosecution of the war. Professor
Shambaugh stated he may request
the county commissioners to furnish
the office with lantern. While some
of the county schools have small
projecting machines these are the
property of the school district and
can only be used when addresses are
given there.

PENNSY SELLS
THRIFT STAMPS
On Sale at Ticket Offices,
Shops, Enginehouses and
Other Departments

At the request of the government.
and in order to assist in the raising
of funds for carrying on the war, the
Pennsylvania Railroad has completed
arrangements for placing on sale the
new War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps at ticket offices and in its
shops, freight stations and in the
various departments on the lines
east and west of Pittsburgh.
Every ticket agent on the entire
sytem, except where located in the
immediate vicinity of a post office,
will have the stamps for sale, and
will keep on hand, at all times, a
sufficient supply to accommodate in
vestors. 1t was not thought neces-
sary to do this where post offices
are near at hand, as the government
will sell the stamps direct at those
points.
Another Campaign
AS in the case of the campaign
for the two Liberty Loans, special
efforts will be made to encourage in
yestment in the Savings and Thrift
Stamps, on the part of employees of
the system. 1t having been found
impracticable to place the stamps on
sale directly in the pay cars, arrange
ments will be made wherever pos
sib1e, to have them on sale near the
pay cars when employees are being
paid.
