Your Town

THERE are about 10000 food stores,
including confectioners, in the City
of New York. These use 12O, 900 scales.
10000 weights, 10000 liquid and 10 900
linear measures, which, according to
the city ordinance, must be inspected
annually. This work is left 10 the
Mayors Bureau of Weights and Meas
ures, which has been created primarily
to protect housewives Of the city.
In order to test these thousands Of
instruments the nineteen inspectors
engaged in the service have certain
districts for which they are responsi-
Bile. There are 320 square miles of
territory within the city limits. In
addition to the regular inspections
these men have to watch constantly
those stores which sell necessities Of
life. -
Last year were filed approximately
l,200 violations of laws pertaining -
weights and measures, of which 1o0
were penal. The bureau, through the
Office o. the Corporation Counsel. re-
covered S12,911 for fines in the civil
cases, according to an estimate made
by the Commissioner 1t costs the citv
about $4,000 to maintain the bureau.

Boston Tech Campaign
Will Seek $8,OOO,OOO
Half of Desired Sum Already
Realized Through an
ANONYMOUS Donation

Boston Tech wants to raise $S,00o,-
600 to $4,000, 900. A committee headed
by General Coleman du Pont and in
cluding Theodore N. Vail, Charles A.
Stone, Otto H. Kahn and Charles Hay
den, all of New York; Everett Morse,
of Boston, and Edmund Hayes, of Buff
falo, has been named to conduct the
drive, which will continue until Jan
uary 1. Contributions may be sent to
any member of the committee or to
DR.. Richard c. Maclaurin, president
Of the college, at 120 Broad Street.
Four million dollars of the desired
sum has been donated by an anonymous
giver, whose identity is known to no
one except DR.. Maclaurn. This gift
is made dependent upon at least 4,0OO,-
600 additional being raised The anony-
nous benefactor has previously con-
tributed 100000 to the institution.
The increased costs of the elements
entering into the operation of a COL
lege make the drive necessary, General
du Pont explained yesterday 1t has
already been found imperative to in
crease the tuition from $3.50 to $500.
While this sum does not nearly cover
the cost of the course of pupil, it
is not deemed wise that the fee be
raised further at a time when America
needs trained engineers more than ever
in her history. The appeal for funds
will be made primarily to industrial
leaders.

Movie Exhibitor Seeks
To Enjoin the Paulists
William ]. Lavery's Contract
With Treasurer of Society
of Priests Repudiated

William J. Lavery applied to the
Supreme Court yesterday to enjoin
the Missionary Society of St. Paul from
ousting him from the Paulist Fathers
School in West Sixtieth Street, where
he has been giving moving picture ex-
hibitions under a lease signed by the
Rev. Charles NJ. Cassidy, treasurer of
the missionary society.
After using the school auditorium
which seats 700, for several years Mr.
Lavery, who is a parishioner of the
Paulist Fathers Church, complained d
that with a lease which will not ex-
pire until January, 1921, the doors
were locked against him and the cleo
trio current was shut off. He has
been paying $3.50 a month rent.
1t is contended by the Missionary
Society of st. Paul that Father Gas.
sidy had no authority to make the
lease with Mr.. Lavery. The church
officials said the board of directors
did not know of the lease until the
books were examined after the ap.
pointment of the Rev. James Cronin
as treasurer to succeed Father Cas-
sdy. The cash book kept by Father
Cassidy shows monthly entries rang
ing from $3.50 to $3.50, which are en-
tered as From a friend of Father

Neutral ON Prohibition
Letter to Anti.Saloon League
Says Organization Will Take
No Stand On Question

AS an organization the American Le-
gion will maintain absolute neutrality
bn prohibition and enforcement Of the
Eighteenth Amendment, according to a
statement issued yesterday by Henry
B. Wood, assistant superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League. Mr.. Wood 8
statement was based on correspondence
between himself and Henry D. Linds-
ley, chairman of the legion's executive
committee. The organizations stand,
Mr.. Wood added, was "a severe blow
to the liquor interests, "who hoped the
organization Of war veterans would
help them to 'oome back" Mr.. Linds-
ley, replying to a letter of inquiry by
Mr.. Wood, said:
81 believe that l correctly represent
the views of the members Of the Amer
lean Legion in stating that as an or
ganization it will take no part in any
movement either for prohibition OF
against prohibition. The action of any
local post of the legion contrary ia
this position merely expresses the
views of the individual members of
such post, and does not in any way
bind the state organization involved OF
the national organization of the le-
zion"

ese competitors are already in, and are
actively buying up municipal utilities

and buyers in all parts of the country.
"The only way to trade with ST.
IBERIA is by the ancient method of bar
ter, because the ruble has fallen so
low. The Russian cooperative societies
will collect the products of the peas

the manufactured goods from the

Guns of Old Fort
AT Quebec Boom
Welcome to Prince
British Heir Lands at Spot
Where Champlain's Men
Set Foot 800 Years Ago;
French City Enthusiastic

QUEBEC, Aug. 21.-Welcomed by the
strains Of "God Save the King" and the
roar of royal salute from guns in the
old citadel, the Prince Of Wales landed
here tonight shortly before o'clock
for his first visit to the ancient capital
of French Canada.
His royal higness was brought ashore
from the battleship Renown on q fast
steam yacht and landed on Kings
wharf.
The prince, who was followed by Sir
Robert Borden, Prime Minister Of Can
ada, was greeted on the wharf by the
Governor General of Quebec, the Duke
of Devonshire, Cardinal Begin. head of
the Catholic Church in this country;
Mayor Lavigueur and an imposing ar
ray of military, civil and ecclesiastical
men.
The prince was roundly cheered by
crowd Of thousands which pressed as
close to the royal party as the guards
would permit. His frank, boyish smile
won the crowd Immediately, and wave
on wave of cheers greeted him as he
proceeded from the dock.
While the big guns were booming
their welcome series of pyrotechnic
bombs burst in the air above him, and
at each explosion flag of one of the
Allies was unfurled. A squadron of
airplanes circled above the royal
party, adding the loud drone of their
motors to the cheers of the crowd.
The wharf on which the prince land
ed is OH the same spot where Samuel
de Champlain and his men landed 300
years ago. Here also George V LANDED d
twice-once in 1901, when he was the
Duke Of York, and again in 1908, as
Prince of Wales. Other royal person
ages who have debarked at the spot
where the Kings Wharf stands were
Prince Edward, the late King, in 1860
and Prince William Henry, in 1887.
At 6:15 the prince and the Duke OF
Devonshire motored together to the
upper town, through Mountain Hill and
St. Louis Street. The prince was cheered
by large crowds along the route, while
church bells chimed their welcome to
the distinguished visitor.
Quebec was decked with a profusion
of flags, bunting and orifammes, and in
several places on the road leading to
the citadel arches of welcome had been
erected.
The reception rendered the prince by
his future subjects of French extrac-
tlon was in every respect as enthusias-
tic as that accorded him at any other
point visited.
The most conservative newspapers
were as cordial in their editorial treat
ment of the princes arrival as We're
the more liberal.
