AIMED AT STACKER PACKER.
Ban on Short Food Containers Pro-
posed by Representative Haugen.

The Stacker packer is going to be
forced to fill containers if Chairman
Haugen of the House committee on
agriculture can bring Congress to favor
his plans. Deceptive food containers,
some of them only half filled, are go
ing to be tabooed and denied trans
portation in interstate commerce under
proposed amendments to the pure food
and drug act, Mr.. Haugen believes. He
says that they permit covert increases
in the cost of food"
G. F. Marvin, acting secretary of the
Agriculture Department., in suggesting
the amendment, said the desire was
to cover "slack-filled and other forms
of deceptive food packages" and that
administration of the net weight pro-
visions of the pure food act revealed
package food. notably spice. condi-
ments and cereals, is marketed in con-
tainers only half filled, and that cer-
tain canned foods contain an excess
of liquid such as water and sirups."

NEW TRAFFIC RULES
CO IN FORCE TONIGHT
Changes So Slight Washington Is
Expected Soon to E!just
Self to Code.

Washington is expected to adjust it
which become effective at midnight
tonight.
Inasmuch as the speed limits corre-
spand to what the police have been
permitting already, the rules will
make no noticeable difference in the
rate at which traffic flows over the
capitals streets.
While the north and south right-of-
way practice expires tonight. drivers
Of vehicles already have been trying
out the right-hand plan which is to
succeed it, The police have noticed
these preliminary adjustments with
the conviction that the public has
a pretty good idea of what the new
regulations call for and that they
will not be difficult to enforce.
In fact, it was the object Of the Com
missioners in revising the traffic code
to build up a set of requirements that
could be enforced to the letter. The
discretionary powers given the police in
enforcing the existing regulations Will
be revoked.
Under the new rules, trucks may move
between street intersections at the rate
of twelve miles An hour. passenger and
commercial vehicles at the rate of eigh-
teen miles These practically are the
rates Of speed now permitted by the
police.
In place of the north and south rule,
the practice beginning tomorrow will be
for vehicles approaching intersections

SIMON WOLF IN TRIBUTE
TO ROGER WILLIAMS
Laid Foundation for American
Republic" Here for Nc
mortal Reaches SS5, 900.

What I said of Roger Williams in
an address here fifty years ago 1 still
think today. Roger Williams laid the
very foundation of the American re-
public when he established religious
freedom and made it possible for US
to live in harmony and amity.''
This statement was made at the
Roger Williams memorial headquar-
ters this morning by Simon Wolf
president of the B'nai Birth.
Il have always considered Benjamin
Franklin and Roger Williams to be
two men to whom America owes n,uch
Franklin made the republic possible
in France. Roger Williams estab-
lished a principle which has worked
to make the nation great.
"A1l Jews look upon Roger Williams
with honor and gratitude in their
hearts. At San Francisco in 1915 the
B'nai Birth adopted a resolution that
the association should every year
celebrate the natal day Of Roger Will
liams''
Mr.. Wolf appeared at headquarters
this morning in time to hear the an
Williams memorial now amount to
$65,000. AS the result of two serv-
Ices at the Emmanuel Baptist Church
yesterday the fund jumped from
$4,000 to s55.000. and an additional
SO. 900 was reported this morning.
There is now no doubt whatever
that the desired 100000. which is
Washington's quota of the total fund
of $35O,O00. will be forthcoming"
said the Rev. G. C. Johnson, pastor
OF Emmanuel Every hour brings
US increasing encouragement. I'm
manuel has responded nobly and our
friends outside the congregation are
showing spirit that fills us with
gratitude"
