FIXES STANDARD SIZE
FOR FRUIT CONTAINERS

Washington, D. c., Sept 25.-Un-
der the authority of the Federal law
known as the Standard Container Act,
the Secretary of Agriculture has just
issued the regulations fixing the toll
erances which will govern in the ad-
ninistration of that act. The act
goes into effect on November 1. 1917.
1t prescribes three standard sizes
for Climax baskets for grapes and
other fruits and vegetab les-2 quarts,
quarts, and - quarts-and fixes the
dimensions for each; 1t establishes
the dry half pint, dry pint, dry quart
and multiples of the dry quart as
standards for containers for small
fruits, berries and vegetables, and
fixes their capacity in cubic inches.
On and after November 1, 1917, 1t is
unlawful to manufacture or sell for
shipment or to ship in interstate COM
merce, either empty or filled, baskets
or containers that do not conform to
the requirements set forth in the law.
Containers which are not up to the
standards can not be used in inter-
state commerce even though they are
marked short package"
Since a good deal of the harvesting
and marketing season is still ahead
before the law goes into effect, the
department suggests that manufac-
lures adopt the standards at once,
and that stocks of packages which
can not be used after November 1
should be fully utilized before that
date. Package manufacture and deal
ers are invited, If they desire to have
their packages examined and tested,
to ship them to the Bureau of Mar
kets, United States Department OF

Lemons Whiten and
Beauty the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a, bottle containing three
ounces Of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint of the most re-
markab1e lemon skin beautifcer at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar Of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months Every
woman knows that lemon juice is
used to bleach and remove such blem-
ishes as freckles, sallowness and tan
and is the ideal skin softener, smooth
ener and beautifier.
Just try it! Make up a quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face,
neck, arms and hands. 1t should
naturally help to whiten, soften, fresh
en-, and bring out the hidden roses and
beauty of any skin. It is wonderful
for rough, red hands.
Your druggists will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost, and
any grocer will supply the lemons

COPPER TRAFFIC

Paris, Sept. 25.-~Traffic in copper
coins which frequently has been de-
nouneed during the past two years is
still going on in France. In a great
many stores, tobacco shops, groceries,
bakeries and meat markets, at ticket
offices of transportation lines and
places of amusement, sous and dou-
BILE sous are taken in all through the
day and evening, and none given out
If it can be avoided. Subway and
tramway employees have even refused
to sell tickets unless the passengers
offer the exact change. Theatre and
moving picture box offices are also
collectors of coppers.
M. Hudelo, the new Project Of Po-
lice, made a round Of Paris in the
| subway the other day. He was re-
Quired to furnish coppers for his tick
cts after offering franc silver piece.
At one station the ticket seller ref,ss-
ed in his presence to make change
for a wounded soldier who offered a
two-franc piece. M. Hudelo passed
in his card and ordered that the tick
ct be delivered, whereupon both the
ticket and the change were forthcom-
ing.
so you had the change. Now you
may go TO the OIrfce ana get your
pay. You are discharged" said M.
Hudelo, whose authority extends to
all employees of public services.
The project was called upon to
make his own change at the ticket
offices of moving picture shows also,
but a little talk with the manager
in each case developed the fact that
change was not lacking in the cash
drawers.
The result of his investigation was
a circular to commissaires of police,
calling upon them to enforce the re-
gulations and prosecute every person
specializing in copper money, and to
send to police headquarters the
| names. of every employee Of any pub
tic service refusing to make change
without a plausible reason.
There has been a regular market
for copper at the Place Gambetta
where subway employees and other
collectors bring sous and double sous
| In rolls and dispose of them at a, bo-
nus Of 10 per cent. The buyers get
| back the premium they pay for this
1 small change and make an additional
profit Of 15 per cent. through Illicit
expectation to Switzerland. Though
French paper and silver money is at
| a discount there, copper money, cur
iously enough passes a par, which
has provoked the systematic traffic
that the police propose to stop.

HANDLING THE BONDS.

It was announced Saturday after
noon by Arthur M Anderson, execu-
tive secretary Of the Distribution
Committee of the Liberty Loan Com
mittee, that plans are being perfect
ed by the Distribution Committee for
a uniform system Of handling the
bonds which are to be sold in the Sec
ond Liberty Loan conpaign on the
partial payment plan Under it, all
banks and employers who so desire
will be supplied with punch cards.
This question of uniformity" said
Mr.. Anderson, was agitated irnme-
diately after the close of the first
campaign, when many Different
methods of keeping track Of the in
vezors' insta1lment payments were
found to be in practice among the
banks and corporations of the Second
Federal Reserve District. The plan
now under way is to distribute among
the banks a supply of cards which
will be punched every time an in
weston makes payment. The pur-
chaser Of the bond will have one of
the cards and the bank which handled
his subscription another card, iden-
teal card will be returned to the $40
scriber. The second will be fled
away until the next paymenf comes
due This system will be applicable
to $50, 500 and $500 bonds purch1s-
ed by installments.
''In the first campaign, many of the
banks found that the clerical work
involved in handling thousands OF
small subscriptions was burdensone
in the extreme. The adoption Of the
Uniform system recommended by the
Liberty Loan Committee will simplify
the work Of the banking forces.
at is proposed to get in touch with
every bank in the district, and to urge
them to adopt the committees sug-
gestion. An offer will be made to
supply the banks with cards free of
charge"
