Vegetables and Fruits
Weighed, Not Measured

Inspector of Weights and Meas
ures Long is seeking to have city
council pass an ordinance providing
that all vegetables and fruits be sold
by weight instead of by measure or
by the box or basket.
That's the only way to get just
ice for the people" he says. Take il
in apples. "A bushel of applies will
weigh As pounds, but there are many
apples on the market sold by the
box, which contains only AZ pounds
instead of 48. And in this way deal
ers all the time are trying to pull
the wool over the eyes of the con
sumers. Some consumers are wise
enough or particular enough to see
that they get full measure, but a
great number buy carelessly and are
victimized by these methods"
Mr.. Long has responded to a num-
Der of complaints of short weight
and measure and forced restitution
in many cases.
Close tab is being kept on coal
dealers also. The inspectors have
the power to stop a coal wagon at
any time and take it to the city
scales to find out whether it has the
full weight.

WAR RISK BOARD
NAMES PLAN FOR
new INSURANCE
Men Who Served in Military
or Naval Service May OBJ
tain New Policies
Under Plan.

Washington, Jan. 3i.-Conditious
under which soldiers or sailors now
holding government life insurance
may convert these policies within
FIVE years into other forms which
can be carried with the government
during their lifetime were an.
nounced today by Col Gerry D,
Lindsey of the war risk insurance
bureau. Rates will be made public
soon and the new policies will NOT
be available until then.
There will be six different kinds
of insurance-ordinary life, 20-pay-
ment life, 30-payment life, 20-year
endowment, 30-year endowment and
endowment payable at the age OF
62. All policies will contain clauses
providing that in case of permanent
total disability of the insured man
the government will make monthly
payments to him and premium pay
ments will cease. This amounts vir-
tually to old age pensioning and dis.
ability insurance and insures that
no man who has served in the army
or navy need ever be destitute il he
carries the government insurance.
Share in Dividends.
All policy holders will participate
in dividends, and earnings of over
3A per cent from the insurance fund
will go into dividends. Since the
reserves will be invested in govern
ment securities, it is certain that
there VIII be large dividends to be
returned periodically to policy hold
ers.
Collections of premiums will be
made through postmasters in each
community.
Have Five Years.
Any man now in military or naval
service holding government term
life insurance can obtain the new
forms, but the amount will be linn
tied to his present holdings. The
urges all men to con-
tinue to carry their present policies
but to convert these as soon as they
are financially able within the next
five years.
The war risk insurance bureau TO.
day reported that 4,480,000 policies
already have been issued to soldiers
and sailors for insurance, aggregat-
ing $50, 232,000,000, or a average Of
$3.50 on each man.
Up to today, $4,000 awards had
been made on deaths of insured sol
diers or sailors for amounts aggre-
