Connecticut Senate Committee Fayors
 Bill Press Opposes.

Hartford, April 25.-Although forced to a recommittal to the judic- iary committee, the so-called Fraudu- lent Advertising bill which is opposed by Connecticut newspaper publishers because they had no chance to be, heard, has again been fayorably con sidered by the committed, it is learned, and will again be reported back to thu senate.
 The bill as originally introduced purported to prevent fake financial advertisements and was aimed at a Boston concern. But as reported out last month, the bill omitted the word knowingly and provided a $500 fine for every misstatement made in a Connecticut newspaper advertisement regardless of whether the publisher knew the facts or not.
 The bill remains unchanged to date and contains another feature held objectionable in that it discrlm- mates in favor of the large Boston and New York newspapers whlch cover Connecticut and which cannot he reached by the law.

4 Prepared byA the United States Depart

To eliminate fraud In the marketing
Of fruits and vegetables by the SUB.
stitution Of short measure packages
at full-measure prices Is one Of the
principal objects Of specialists Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture now making study Of the hun
dreds Of different types OF contain
ers in use. For example, baskets
which contain seven-eighths Of a
bushel are frequently used as bushel
baskets, 1t being difficult to detect the
short measure. In Farmers Bulletin
1196, from the bureau of markets,
inst nnhlished by the depa rtn,ent, Mt Il e
specialists discuss the need for stand
ard containers for fruits and vege-
tables and describe how the public is
sometimes defrauded because of the
many types and sizes Of containers
now in use.
Multitude Of Sizes Increases Cost.
The serious lack Of uniformity of
containers Increases the cost of mar
keting, say the specialists, because Of
the greater expense Of manufacturing
4 large number Of unnecessary styles
and sizes and by breakage in transit,
which Is sometimes directly attribut-
able to the difficulty Of loading odd
sized containers. There are in com
mon use at present about 40 sizes Of
cabbage crates, 20 styles Of celery
crates, 80 lettuce crates or boxes, 80
styles and sizes Of hampers. 15 styles
and sizes Of round-stave baskets and
marketing baskets varying In size frola
i to "a quarts. whereas relatively
few standard sizes would satisfy all
demands OF the trade. In many cases
the 6Quart market basket, the IL
quart peach basket, the N-bushel bean
hamper. and the 5-pack lettuce hamp-
er are confused with peck, half
bushel and Ia -bushel baskets.
No Standard Hamper.
The federal standard barrel law and
the United States container act, which
establish standard containers, have
done away with large number OF I'M
necessary sizes Of barrels. berry boxes
and grape baskets, and have awak-
ened q widespread demand for the APP
pltcation Of the same principle to
sther containers, says the bulletin. At
present there Is no standard hamper,
which d one OF the most widely used
types of containers. especially popu-
lar In the eastern and central states.
Almost 20 COO 900 of these baskets are
