ADVICE 10 CONSUMER
CONVENTION OF SEALERS
OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURE
Held at Washington, d. G. and At
tended BY J. D. Dannley, Who
Submits Report Of Meeting.

The twelfth annual National Con-
vention Of Sealers Of Weights
and Measures was held at Wash
ington, D. G. on May 21-24,
and was attended by County
Sealer Of Weights 4 and Measures
John d. Dannley, who upon his
return, submitted an article, which
contains many helpful suggestions con-
. corning the rights of the consumer
and the method Of making complaints
in case Of short weights, etc.
Mr.. Dannley reports as follows:
"The Twelfth Annual Convention of
Sealers Of Weights and Measures was
held in Washington, d. G. on May
21-24.
"To this convention the commission
ers sent me as delegate from Medina
county.
"The privilege Of attending such a
meeting and hearing the problems
which we meet in every phase of our
work discussed by men Of national
reputation is one Of untold value. As
an educational feature ] have never
found anything in the eight years ]
have been on the job that could COM
pare with it.
"The job of maintaining correct
standards and insuring correct
weights and measures is one that af-
fects every individual in the United
States as perhaps no other department
Of justice can.
"The job is big one and an impor-
tant one and requires the best efforts
Of every man in the service.
"The following, quoted from the
speech of Hon. VIM. G. Redfeld, Sec
Of Commerce, shows just how impor-
tant the work of the sealer Of weights
and measures was regarded by the
convention.
Mr.. Redfeld said: Gentlemen, in
thinking of you and the work you do
have often reflected that you are the
followers of perhaps the oldest code
in the world. There are many ancient
codes, and we find them in Babylonia
marked on slabs and plates of brick
but those codes are dead. The codes
Of ancient Egypt, the laws Of Rome
have all passed out of the memory 81
men, and we hardly know what they
are. But the code under which yot
work, actually written 1000 years agt
in book which Jew and Gentle honol
and which Christian and Mohammedal
