dealers. however. are cndcavorine to
continue to reap the large profits in

altics OF the food and drugs act by so
wording tho labels Of their product
as TO convey tho impression to the CON
sumner that the product is olive OIL
without stating directly on the label
that II is olive OIL
These products arc commonly labeled
as sal lad Oil' or Table OiI' or some
other Indefinite kind of OIL On the
labels arc displayed conspicuous pic
lures of olive trees or maps OF Italy
or other devices intended to suggest
olive oil. In some instances tho words
.cottonseed Dir or. Corn or are
printed in very small type in an in
conspicuous place on the label. A cur
sorry reading Of the label. such as is
usually given by retail purchasers
would lead tho average person to be-
lieve that the product was olive OIL
Only the most careful SCRUTINY and
exact reading will reveal that the pro-
duct is not labeled olive oil, and. in
fact. is not olive Oil.
The practice of deceptive labelling
even though no directly false state
inents are made, is. in the opinion OF
the officials. a violation of the food
and drugs act. Seizures are being
made and prosecutions Instituted to
check also this form Of deception and
misbrandinS.

Clever Japanese Artist Featured.

The latest Haworth production fea,
turing Sessue Hayakawa is one of the
best reproductions of Japanese life
and atmosphere that the screen has
presented. 1t is named "a Heart in
Pawn" and the Princess is projecting
1t today. William Worthington, direc-
tor, with the aid of q. group of Japa--
nese players, has succeeded In telling
a gripping tragedy of Japan. Tho
story has been put across in an emo.
tional language that can be readily I'M.
derstood by an American public. 1t
has been staged in the Japanese tea
garden of Golden Gate park, San Fran
cisco and vicinity. Sessue Hayakawa
has never done better work than in
this picture. which offers opportuni-
ties for colorful Characterization.
Tsura Aoh has also proved her claim
to dramatic talent, giving a graceful
and touching portrayal Of the little
Japanese wife who was sentenced to
prison for killing in self defense. The
construction of the picture is much
above the average, and the plot is one
which allows for plenty OF interesting
incidents.
