gross weight Harry d. Reel, city
inspector of weights and measures,
said to-day.
Inspector Reel SAID it had been
reported to him that some dealers
in the city were attempting TO dodge
the net weight requirement by post
ing signs. After an investigation he
asked City Solicitor Fox and the

permissible under the law Both
statements support Inspector Reel
by declaring it is illegal to sell any
food commodity in a container at
gross weight. The opinions state
that a dealer in selling any COM
modify in any kind of n container
must mark the net weight of the
product on the outside of the pack

prosecute any dealer not meeting this
requirement.

 IDEALS OF THE RED CROSS
 The strength of the Red Cross is in it's Ideals. The war council expresses the ideals in three great aims:
 l. To be ready to care for our sol-
 diers and sailors on duty wherever
 and whenever that care may be
 needed.
 2 To shorten the war-by strength
 ening the morale of the allied peoples
 and their armies, by alleviating their
 sufferings in the period which must
 elapse until the American army can
 be fully effective abroad
 5. To lay foundations for an endur-
 ing peace-by extending a message
 of practical relief and sympathy to
 the civilian population among our al-
 lies. carrying to them an expression
 of the finest side of the American
 chara cter.
 The American people are translating these ideals into facts-into money and personal service. Last June the war council asked for slo0, 10000, and the peo- pie pledged s110,ooo00o. of which sl0s. 0oo,0o0 has thus for been collected-at probably the lowest cost of collection in the history of such undertakings
 The Red Cross active workers are es- timated at millions. and they are doing almost everything known to commerce and science, from bookkeeping to sur gery. from knitting socks to feeding American prisoners in Germany.
 The generosity of the American people keeps pace with the fast growing scope of Red Cross activities. The growth of Red Cross has been so amazing. the null tiplication of it's activities so rapid. that few can be expected to know all that Red Cross means to the world in this hour of the worlds need. Many who are active in one Red Cross endeavor are un- familiar with scores of other Red Cross ny1rS,,.fs
