URGES STANDARD SIZES
FOR FRUIT CONTAINERS

The bureau of markets of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, in it's efforts
to bring about Standardization of
shipping containers for fruits and
vegetables. is recommending standard
sizes for three of the most common
types of packages. These are the
hamper. the round stave basket, and
the market basket.
These recommendation provide not
only standard sizes but standard di-
mensions, and it is the intention of
the department to fix standards which
will be readily distinguishable from
each other by the average buyer.
There are at present q great many
containers Of different sizes which
are so nearly the same in appearance
that they are a never-ending source
of fraud.
BY slight modification in construc-
tion 1t is possible to make a twenty
eight-quart hamper which looks so
nearly like full bushel hamper as
to deceive the purchaser. who is de-
frauded out Of a half peck.

The Y. NJ. C. A. Maintenance Fund.

The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton is asking the people of Washing
ton to contribute the really modest
sum of $4,000 for annual mainte-
nance. A "drive" is on to that end,
and subscriptions are solicited. 1t is
announced that personal visitations
can not be undertaken in all cases,
but the hope is expressed that the
friends of the organization, who want
to see it continue in its high efficiency
as factor for the betterment of the
capital community, will send in their
checks and pledges without being asked
directly. The Y. NJ. C. A. has proved
it's worth over and over again. In
peace times it was rallying force for
social strength and moral uplift. In
war times it was a wonderful help,
both at home and in the field. The
local organization now asks for very
small amount to keep in motion the
various works that are so helpful to a
multitude of men, and it should be
quickly forthcoming, without solicita
ton.

Missouri and the League.

This is from Cameron, No, carry
ing yesterdays date line:
Senator Hiram johnson Of Califor-
MIA tomorrow at Excelsior Springs
will deliver the first of series of five
addresses against the league of ma
tions that will mark the campaign Of
John f. Frost of Plattsburg, repub-
Ecan nominee, to succeed Joshua AL
exander, now Secretary of Commerce,
as representative in Congress from
the third Missouri district. Prior to
the special election February IA ma
tionally known democrats also will
campaign for Capt. j. l.. Milligan,
speaking in favor of the league, which
has been made one of the chief issues"
The campaign will cover a period
of nearly three weeks-time sufficient
for the full presentation to the voters
of the district of all the issues in
volved.
Stress, as we see, will be laid on
the league of nations What will the
voters say as to thati Senator John
son is a bitter ender, and presumably

But he will argue in no more ex.

left Congress for the cabinet, carried
the district six times running by SUBJ
stantial majorities. His last election
was in November, 1913, when, of
course, there was no such issue as a
league of nations. So that the voters
of the district are called upon now to
pass upon question altogether new
to them
Not long since a special Congress
election was held in a North Caro-
lima district normally democratic by
several thousand majority, and the
league of nations made the issue
there, the democrats favoring, the re-
publieans opposing. Distinguished
speakers from outside the state were
introduced into the campaign by both
sides. The democrats won, but by a
majority so much reduced the repub-
leans were well pleased with their
effort, and the result was quoted in
senatorial circles here to hearten SEN
atOrs who were insisting on what are
known as the Lodge reservations to
the league.
Like general interest will be at
tracted by this Missouri contest. The
situation in the Senate is such that
every expression on the subject of the
league coming from the people, or
from source near to them, is ex
amined in all of its bearings, and
will count in whatever disposition is
finally made of the pact.

Dangerous Coasting.

There can be no assurance of secur-

The sleds travel at high speed and
dart into range so swiftly that escape
is impossible. In many cases the

Grip or Influenza Z

1t is the belief of many physicians
in this city that a large percentage of
the cases reported to the health office
as influenza are in fact merely cases
of grip, painful and sometimes dan
gerous affection, but by no means so
greatly to be dreaded as the newest
form Of epidemic malady that ragged
so furiously and with such deadly eff
feet during the autumn of 1918. The
symptoms of the two are somewhat
similar, but careful diagnosis will de-
termine the difference. Both of these
diseases affect the pulmonary organs.
Both of them have a tendency to "run
into" pneumonia, which takes heavy
toll of life. But the influenza is dis
tinct in its origin and in its develop
ment. 1t is much more speedy in
progression.
There are today many eases of both
grip and influenza here, but it may be
doubted if the latter disease FREEDOM
mates in this class of ailments. The
grip is facilitating and painful and
hard to conquer. 1t leaves trouble
some after effects. 1t has, however, a
record of a very low rate of mortality
as compared with the influenza, perhaps
for the reason that the latter is SO
new in its development that medical
science has not yet been able to Gud
the effective remedies.
Whether suffering from grip or in
fiuenza, however, Washington is to-
day a "siek town." as are many others.
The physicians are overworked. There
is a scarcity of nurses. The hospitals
are filled and facilities for caring for
the sick are seant. In these circum-
stances it is necessary for all who are
well to bear up courageously, to keep
out of the range of possible infection.
to be attentive to the essentials of
ventilation and sanitation, to take
notice Of early symptoms of disorder
and seek prompt treatment. Above
all, it is well to avoid nostrums, that
may bring about the very ailments
they are supposed to cure, by causing
unsettlement of the digestive organs
and so exposing the system to attack.
Conditions are so much better than
they were fifteen months ago that
there is no occasion for alarm. If
disease develops it can be treated now
as it could not have been treated
then, even with shortage Of nurses
and hospital Accommodations. The
government is about to spend half a
million dollars in a nation wide fight
against influenza, and this effort is
certain to have its good effect to les
sen the ravages Of this mysterious
disease.

Two Active Citizens.

Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan are fire.
quent visitors to Washington, and
both are very welcome. They deliver
addresses here. They confer with
senators and representatives about
legislation. They meet many old ac-
quaintances and exchange views about
affairs in general
This is to the good for them and
for the country. They have had to
do with much important public bust
ness. Their experience has taught
them much. and gives to their sug
gestions interest and value.
Both these men have been in the
limelight long time. Both are well
considered even by those who differ
with them. Both are accredited with
patriotic motives in all they do or
advise.
Mr.. Taft was educated for the bar,
and at the start had no aspirations
or purposes outside the line Of his
profession. He was a local judge at
an early age He was solicitor gen
eral of the United States at an early
age. He then returned to the bench,
and was serving there with much com
fort to himself when President Ne
Kinley drafted him for politics; and
he has been in politics ever since,
reaching the topmost rung of the
ladder.
Mr.. Bryan also was educated for the
bar, and opened law office. But the
bar did not satisfy. Being what is
called born politician, he soon for
sock the law for politics, and has
never returned to the law. The ora
tory in his system soon brought him
into notice, and, later, to distinction.
Although defeated three times in his
efforts to reach the White House, he
is still suspected of longing for
that domieile, and of an intention to
make fourth effort this year to
reach it.
These men have not only the dis
position but the time to consider pub
lie questions. While both are active
in affairs, neither is chained to a
desk or to routine. They move
about the country at their pleasure,
and as requested by those who value
their advice.
In this way both Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Bryan keep well informed about pub
lie sentiment. They are seldom in
agreement They belong to different
parties and different schools of
thought. Mr.. Taft is conservative,
while Mr.. Bryan is a radical. But
they are students of affairs at all
times.
In these times, so fraught with
changes and the activities that go with
changes, these men find much to in
terest them, and they are thoroughly
alive to what is going on. And in
keeping close track of what is on the
card, and in manifesting lively con-
Germ about what is going on, they
set an excellent example to all who,
like themselves, have a citizens stake
in the game.

SHOOTING STARS.

The Finish.

TIE Finish.
How oft have good intentions lured
My rhyme unto a genial twist.
Pm through with that. I've quit.
I'm cured.
I'll never make an optimist
Ice fills the street from pave to pave.
I walk with feet that won't behave.
The snow is piled on shingles weak;
And when it thaws, the roof will leak.
The street cars damned, both fore
and aft.
1 kicked, but the conductor laughed.
My friends, relations and the rest
All talk of colds upon the chest.
The cook, the laundress, growing
worse,
Require the doctor and the nurse.
The neighbors glance with envious
stealth
At any one who has his health.
And as 1 sit way down below
And try to make the furnace glow,
And scatter ashes everywhere,
Into my shoes and lungs and hair,
I say, Farewell, oh, jovial crew!
From gay pretense I must desist.
Eve quit for keeps. I'm cured. Pm
through.
I'll never make an optimist."
