River and Harbor Board
to Make Big Expenditure

The Congress of the National Rivers
and HarbOrs will not hold a COnven-
tiOn again this year for patriotic rea-
sons. Because of the traffic needs of
the country. however. and the demon
stratiOn during the war that the rail-
roads alone cannot meet them, it S
probable that billions OF do lars will
be expended by the National Rivers
and HarbOrs Congress in the near fu-
ture on constructive work.
The nationwide campaign Of educa-
ton, which the congress has been
carrying on for more than twelve
years, will be continued. A meeting
Of the official board will be held S It
urday. December I, when it will be
decided whether to hold a convention
early in the coming year or to wait
until the regular time in December.

MANY CHEATED
BY HUCKSTERS
Farm Swindlers Reap Rich
Harvest, Says George
M. Roberts.

Hueksters operating under the
pretense OF being Maryland farmers
are reaping a rich harvest by swind-
ling many Washington housewives,
according to George NJ. Roberts.
Superintendent Of Weights, Meas
ures and Markets, who last night
issued a warning not to buy po-
tatoes, apples and other provisions
from transient persons without
seeing the same measured at the
time of delivery,
These swindlers seem to operate
most successfully in Chevy Chase
and other fashionable residential
sections, according to Mr.. Roberts,
and usually manage to evade the
. weights and measures law so that
5if apprehended they cannot be con-
Yicted.
Farm Wagon Camounage.
They use vehicles which resemble
farm wagons, go from door to door
and inform the ladies that they are
farmers from Prince George, Mont
gOmery, or other nearby counties,
selling direct to consumers, ana
many women having read of the ad-
vantage of buying direct from the
producer, make liberal purchases.
The swindlers. who are familiar
with the weights and measures law
evade it by selling potatoes or ap-
pies by the sack. and avoid stating
the exact measure. by saying there
are about so many bushels. In
that way they evade the law.
The potatoes or apples usually
measure from half to two-thirds
what they claim, and they often
= higher
that for which full measuTe could
be obtained at the Farmers Produce
Market.
One man informed Mr. Roberts yes
terday that his wife had bought two
sacks of potatoes and a sack Of apples
from one Of these pretended farmers.
+, The two sacks of potatoes, for which
Rshe paid 81. contained three bushels
and could have been bought for $50
on the farmers market.
Many cases similar to the foregoing
have come to the attention of the
weights and measures department,
Mr.. Roberts states. but under exist
ing law he is pOwerless to stop such
swindles.
House Eliminates Guard.
The Crosser bill to revise the weights
anu llEd5Al - Id" q AAiC ACSNA III
which passed the House. originally
contained a provision requiring ped
dlers and hucksteTs to give a sales
slip which would lead to identification
in case of a swindle of the kind men
toned with each sale. but the prOvi-
sion was stricken out in the House.
An effort will be made to have it re-
stored when the bill is taken up in
the Senate
In the meantime Washington house
wives should see that their potatoes
and other products are measured when
bought from a huckster or pretended
farmer.
Mr.. Roberts explains that the pres
ent license law requiring the payment
Of a tax Of sl2 by persons who peddle
farm produce is well night prohibitive
so far as the real farmer is concerned.
and very few of them sell produce
except. at the markets.
