FALSE MEASURES
BILL |SREPORTED
House Committee Approves Pas
sage of Law to Prohibit
Deceptive Containers.

Legislation preventing the use cf
deceptive food and drug containers
was reported favorably yesterday ny
the House Agriculture Committee.
The bill. similar to that reported 20
the last Congress and strongly rec
commended by the Department of Ag-
riculture, strikes at the practice or
some manufacturers of food products
and drugs in putting on the marke:
big packages which are only partly
filled and other containers, such as
glass bottles which magnify their
contents, which are deceptive because
they hols a less quantity than their
appearance indicates or make display
of a different grade or size than that
actually within the container.
All such containers would be bar
red from interstate commerce under
provision OF the bill, which Is made
a part of the pure food and drugs
law and brought within the provis-
ions of that law for enforcement.

sUPERlNTEND NEW SHELL TEST
In 1S49 he superintended the firing
test OF an elongated shot and shell
invented by John Prentis, which was
able to take the rifle motion from
smooth bore cannon and to keep the
front end in its proper position. In
a short time Lieutenant Dahlgren
gained such an extensive knowledge
of all branches of ordnance, that he
became an authority on these sub
jects. and, by his persistence and
executive ability, developed the
facilities of the yard along these
lines. He later invented the famous
Dahlgren guns.
While commandant of the Yard dur
ing the Civil War, he dismissed
thirty-seven employees from the yard
who would rot take the oath OF al
legiance with 400 other employees at
the outbreak of the war.

The one hundredth anniversary
Of the founding Of Gonzaga College

Originally called the Washington

Tenth streets.
MANY DEGREES GIVEN.
Throughout the one hundred yeA

Jesus, commonly called the Jesuits,

The halls of the young institution
being unable to accommodate the
boys and young men who desired to
matriculate, 1t was found necessary
to seek larger and more commodious
quarters. The Jesuits having been
donated the farm at what Is now
North Capitol and I streets, steps were
taken to build what was then very
pretentious and up-to-date college
building. Through the halls of this
old college building have passed many
scions of old Washington families.

national regulations.
The number of students increasing
and the buildings having been found
inadequate and unsuited for modern
purposes. the present magnificent
quarters on I street, between North
Capitol and First streets, were begun,
and finished in 1914. With the COM
pletion of the new structures impetus
was given to all grades OF college life,
and Gonzaga soon became well known
both on the lecture platform and the
athletic field.
SMOKE TALKS PLANNED.
In preparation for the celebration
OF the Tooth anniversary Of it's

BIG FIELD IN CAPITAL

, preside at the ringside of the House
District Committee, Tuesday morn
ing, on the occasion of it's first legis-
lative field day in the Sixty-seventh
Congress.
TO DISCUSS MERGER.
A multitude Of bills. ranging from
. the much discussed, but long neglect
ed street railway merger to proposals
for opening side streets in distant
: parts of the District await the attea-
ton of the committee.
The first meeting will serve more or
less to size up" the docket and to
put special legislation ahead.
1t 10 apparent that a report on q
, model pawn-brokers bill will be one
OF the hrst things accomplished by
the new committee. Hearings already
have been held upon 1t and Chairman
Focht sees no reasons for further de-
lay in considering it.
The ,nan-shark bill to increase the
interest rates which money-lenders
handled as separate legislation.
Chairman Focht. in his wisdom, will
sever all entangling alliances be-
tween the two bills and report each
out separately.
AID FOR PAWNBROKERs.
Strong pressure from excellent
sources is being brought to bear for
passage Of the pawn-brokers bill
Hundreds of ex-service men who havo
lad to pawn valuables while wait
| ing for the lonS-promised bonus and
many business and civic organiza-
tions have put in . word for the
pawn brokers. BY increasing the
rate OF interest they can charge from
, 40 20 n hn 4
the pawnbrokers can be prevailed
upon to return to the District.
Strict regulations, such as fines and
revocation Of licenses, would keep
violators Of the law in check under
the terms Of proposed legislation.
Another measure that will come
up for consideration Is the Edmonds bill
regulating marine insurance in the Dis
trict of Columbia While applying to
the District Of Columbia the bill is
really national in it's scope.
1t is expected that there will be no
very early action on the proposed
car merger bill. though this legisla-
lion will be thrashed out at informal
discussions. Pending the outcome of
tie conferences that are being held
between the street railway officials
and the Public Utilities Commission,
Ire House District Committee will
mark tine.
