cost Of spring suits.

Some years ago Senator Platt cre-
ated a furore when he appeared on
the Senate floor, wearing a soft col
lar. Senator Dial plans to go him one
better and several members of the
Senate have looked on the proposal
favorably.
AS the situation stands today, II Is
more than probable that the first
banking institution to have an Over
all Club will be the Commercial Ma
tional Bank at Fourteenth and q
streets northwest, where William l..
Thomas and others of the clerical
force have been discussing the mat

from the banks officers for the move
contemplated.

other banks of the city, and these

popular movement in Washington and
all other parts of the country.
Another strike" was fomented in
Washington when 175 employees OF the
correspondence subdivision, insur-
ance division Of the Bureau OF War
Risk Insurance, Thursday afternoon
organized the War Risk overall Club.
II is planned to boycott the purchas-
ing of fancy duds, georgette waists,
silk stockings, and, in fact, new
clothes of any description.
Starting Monday and continuing un-
til September 1. the men will appear
in overalls and the women in bunga-
low aprons or MILDLY blouses. with
plain skirts and cotton stockings.
Nothing but the oldest OF old cloth
ing is to be worn at any time. The
slogan is to be, "well knock the
HI out of II. c. L."
The War Riskers are thoroughly in
earnest, but instead of .picketing the
haberdasherics and women's shops,
they propose a monster demonstra-
tion for some afternoon next week.
They will assemble at the Arlingto ton
building, Vermont avenue and TT

CREAM SENT TOD. c.
ROTTEN" "-W|LEY
Pure Food Expert Would Bar
Sour ingredient Used by
. Buttermakers.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, former Gov
ernment pure food expert, was thor
oughly aroused during the milk hear
committee, this morning, when testi-
mony was given showing that 1926
shippers are sending sour. cream into
Washington to be manufactured into
butter.
As a milk producer, DR.. Wiley COM
planned against rotten cream" being
shipped in milk cars used by himself
and other producers. He went so far
as to say that sour cream should not
be sent into Washington at all.
DR.. w. c. Fowler, District health
officer, pointed out that this sour
cream. shipped to Golden & Co.. was
intended for the manufacture of but
ter. and was not intended for con-
sumption. He admitted, however
that during the last few days a
quantity OF sour milk and cream had
found it's way into Washington to a
few small dealers, destined for house
hold use.
Testifying before the subcommit-
tee when hearings were resumed on
several bills seeking to regulate the
sale and shipment of milk in the
District William G.. Carter of Golde en-
and Company, asked that the bills be
amended in respect to the manufac-
He asked that nothing in the bill
shall be construed as prohibiting the

ton for the manufacture of butter
provided 1t is properly labeled as
such, and provided further that it be
adequately pasteurized. Plants should
be open for inspection at all times
he said.
Carter who said that 4,2S6 shippers
are sending sour cream to his con-
Germ. Some time ago these shippers
were sending butter instead, he ex-
plained, and in order to safeguard
the health Of the people in District
his company asked the shippers to
send the cream to them instead, so 1t
could be properly pasteurized before
being manufactured into butter.
He agreed with butter experts
brought down from New York that
proper pasteurization is the only ade-
quate safeguard against disease-pro-
ducing bacteria.
Others testifyinE today were r. s.
Fleming, OF the Morrell-Soule Com
pany. New York. and DR.. II. d. Pease,
director of the Pcase Laboratory, New
York.
Both OF these experts claimed that
milk and cream pasteuriZed at las
degrees for thirty minutes is an abso-
lutte safeguard against all disease
producing bacteria. TuberCulin tests
Of COWS, they claimed, is not an ade-
quatc safeguard.
