made much easier for all. There Is

chance. Oftentimes well-meaning
laws defeat the very object they are
designed to accomplish.

Weighing Wilson'S Signature.

elgnlng wilson 5 signature
approHimates accuracy in determin-
ing one part in 100000 for a one
gram weight.
Moreover, the Bureau of Standards
has in use a weighing balance which
is capable of giving the highest pro-
portlonal accuracy obtainable in
physical measurements.
An operator conducts the test from
a distance, the device being so sensi-
tive that the heat from the observers
body would spoil the weighing. To
obviate this possibility, the observer
sometimes conducts the investigations
from an adjoining room, rods being
used as means of contact. Thus
the range of the apparatus for test
ing weights is from 50-pound units
to particle of dust.
How can business men, manufac-
turers, municipalities and states avail
themselves of the practical uses of
these finely gagged balances and with
what profit? Is there any relations
between thorough inspection of
weights and measures-full value in
pounds for your moneys worth-and
the increasing cost of food and neces-
sites of life.
Texas, Maine, North Dakota and
South Dakota are among the states
that are inclined to answer this ques-
ton IN the affirmative, having lately
enacted statewide inspection of
weights and measures.
Maine prohibits the sale of any
weighing and measuring apparatus
after July /, 1920, which has not
been approved by the Bureau of Stan
dards. Texas permits of the sale of
scales, without a permit from the
state authorities, when the apparatus
has obtained the sanction of this gov
erment.
