Growers Must
Mark Fruit Shipped

The officials in charge of the en-
forcement of the food and drugs act
report that inspectors have found
several interstate shipments of pack
ages of fruits and vegetables such as
grapes, tomatoes and berries which
contain no statement on the packages
as to the quantity of contents. The
net-weight amendment to the federal
food and drugs act requires that all
packages of foods which are shipped
into interstate or foreign commerce
must be marked plainly and conspicu-
ously with a statement of the quaint
ity of the net contents either by
weight or measure. Shippers who
violate the law by failing to mark
the quantity of the contents of each
package of fruits and vegetables they
ship into interstate commerce are liza
BILE to criminal prosecution. Several
shippers have already been cited to
hearings under the food and drugs
act for violating its provisions in this
respect,

Wife should say to you after the egg

John, do wish you would bring
home a couple of well-fed butterflies
tonight"
Don't think she may have a new
scheme up her culinary sleeves with
which to combat the soaring food
prices. Far from it! Fashions is the
word. You see Valeska Suratt, who
is probably more famous for her
gowns than her histrionic ability, has
let it be known that she designs her
own clothes-and further, that she
gets her inspirations from butterflies
in the museum of natural history.
Nowhere" says Miss Surratt, "wlll
you find anything so radiantly re-
splendent in color, so tremendously
varied in design"
But-restsain that snlcker, mere
man
"The butterfly can be used not
merely for hints in making gowns; it
can be also utilized to suggest figures
and combinations of hues in Christ

ably had more rear views of a re-
volver than any other parsonage in
the pictures, has a new leading wom-
an, Mary MacIvor, who is only nine
teen and who has never appeared on
the stage. But she's sweet, and ambi-
tious and willing to help out here and
there, so why hold such a trivial
thing as inexperience against her?
Incidentally, Badman Bill is quite
handy to have around the premises
when it comes to developing the fe-
male idea, and he prides himself on
having cultivated the talents of Clara
Williams, Enid Markey, Bessie Love
and Margery Wilson.
