TO LABEL COLD STORAGE

The thanks of millions of people
will go out to Representative Hutch
inson of New Jersey, member of
the committee on agriculture, if his
House, becomes u law, providing for
the prevention of boarding, deteriora-
ton and deception with respect to
cold storage foods and to regulate
cold storage foods in interstate COM
mercc.
The measure provides that every
article OF cold storage shall be PLAIN
ly marked, 50 that the housewife
may not be deceived into purchasing
it under the guise of fresh food. Ii
the articles are mixed and one OF the
ingredients has not been in cold
storage as long as the other. the one
which has been in longest is to be
marked, so that the housewife may
also know just how many days the
cold storage plant has held the food
she has purchased. Heavy penalties
are imposed upon those guilty of
oblitcrating these marks.
Furthermore. it is required Of every
cold storage that it make a full re-
port of the business transactions con-
Quoted by it. so that the Secretary
of Agriculture. who is given charge
of the enforcement of the act, may
have at all times substantiation of
the markings provided for in the
measure.

WORK FOR THE "DIzziEs"

Workers in the social service world
il the four million inform us that it

paints and powders and wears her
skirts to her knees. Yes, and also
perhaps little less wise. and a trifle
more indiscreet
But she is going to wax wise and

good time" that good times are
sometimes sought in dangerous
places. And these willing workers
have made such progress that the
club house where they furnish games
and activities for the girls and their

After all, they are just in pursuit of
pleasure like all the rest of the world
The best part of it, and the part
which makes them come flocking, is
that the club members are just work

TABLET FOR EVERY SOLDIER

If the plan proposed by a Chicago
paper is carried out, every soldier,
sailor and marine will have an in
dividual memorial erected for him,
in a unique but practical and praise
worthy manner. The idea is that a
permanent marker, giving the mans
name and organization, be placed on
the trees along the great American
highways, there to remain for all
time. the trees being replaced, of
course, as age or disaster removes
them.
1t is said that from 5000 to 1000
maple trees are to be planted along
the Lincoln highway in Northern
Indiana by The American Legion
Posts at South Bend and Laporte.
The carrying out of the project
would mean that the Lincoln high
way from New York to San Fran
cisco and the Dixie highway. from
Chicago to Florida would be shaded
with beautiful trees, each bearing
silent tribute to the valor of some
boy who wore the khaki.
The plan has the endorsement of
The American Legion and other civ ic
and patriotic organizations, President
Harding has expressed his approval
and the United States Forestry Bu-
Teau has promised it's aid.

The Promise M aker
(Public Ipdger)

The French are a practical folk and
their experiences with Germany have
left Paris without many illusions.
France has found that Germany is a
callous and stubborn debtor, who
pays when she must and only when
she must.
The French are assuming that Ger
many is going to give another prom
Use to pay on or before May u. The
Allies have taken German promissory
notes before. Paris is afraid the
German surrender will be nothing
more than another promissory note,
unsecured.
Who, asks the practical Frenchman.
is going to see to it that Germany
keeps her word this time? With a
million Frenchmen standing to their
arms, Germany doubtless will agree
to the terms; but the French are
troubled about it. They are wonder
ing if they must maintain an army of
occupation in Germany for the next
forty-two years.
There has been much talk about
guarantees, but the text of the allied
ultimatum of May 5~makcs no men
ton of them. The outgivings of the
Supreme Council are silent on that
score. Thus far the only guarantee"
that has been worth mentioning has
been the threat of force and the ac-
tual presence of troops.
The French fear is that Germany
will keep her promises just so long as
French bayonet is at her throat.
This fear is founded upon expert
ence. The French are getting tired of
having to mobilize a few army corps
every time the German gets another
fit of stubbornness. They are get
ting even more weary of getting
nothing out of the mobiliza ton other
than still another scrap of paper"
