c. Housewives May Be
Passed Today.

The bill to standardize weights and
measures in the District of Columbia
which is expected to be a great safe
guard to the housewife in the pur-
chase of vegetables, berries and
House today in the committee Of the
whole. A couple of months ago the
House had passed upon practically
one-half Of the bill and it is expect
ed that the measure will be passed in
the House before the close of to-
days session.
The bill is a redraft of the present
Welgnts and measures law for the
district. with new provisions added
TO require the inspection and regula-
t1on OF weights and measuring de-
vices, the inspection of which is now
required. and to establish standard
containers for the sale of fruits, veg
etables and similar commodities. It
does not create any new position and
does not change the salary or status of
any employe of the District govern
n-ent.
The general purpose of the bill is
to so regulate the sale of food and
other commodities in the District as
to be fair and just to both vendor and

Existing Law Enacted in 1898.
The existing weights and measures
law was passed in 1895. 1t has be-
come obsolete by reason of many
changes In business methods and in
conditions arising since that time.
Many transactions which should be
subject to regulations in the opinion
of the District officials and members
OF the House committee are not regu-
lated by the existing law. They say
that opportunities for fraud are
thereby afforded. They point to the
present high prices Of commodities in
every day use as creating an impera-
tive public necessity for remedial leg
islation.
The principal provisions Of the bill
not now covered by law which will
serve to safeguard the public are:
Prohibit short numerical count; pro-
vide specifically that the sale of COM
modities by weight shall be net
weight; establishes standard loaf of
bread; provides for the sale of ice by

vides punishment for charge of excess
weights on freight and express; abo'-
ishes charge of fees by the District

uring devices
