Improved Standards in States
The official gold plated weights of
all of the states are referred TO the
government standards when neces-
sary. New sets of standards lor
Wyoming and Massachusetts r be-
ing tested in the Bureau laborator
les at present. They will then be
sent to each state capitol, and en-
trusted to the sealer of weights and
measures or the corresponding state
official.
A few years ago, when the govern
ment began to promote more accur-
ate weighing in markets and stores.
in the effort to eliminate fraudulent
weights and measures, most of the
states hardly knew that they had
official standard weights.
In one state the set of official
weights was located in a junk shop.
In another it is said that they were
melted into bullets during the Civil
War. In several other states they
were hidden away in vaults and
cellars of the state capital and for
gotten. Now every state realizes
the importance of accurate weighing
based on reliable standards, although
some states have gone farther than
others in making and enforctn5
laws.
Nothing like the minute exactness
of the Bureau of Standards work
is expected in every day weighing.
The Bureau experts can weigh TO
one-millionth of a milligram, a dis
tinction so fine that we cannot grasp
any idea of il. But the Bureau
scientists also believe that common
sense should be applied to weighing
problems. when it is necessary 10
do highly accurate work, we can:
when il isn't we don't, one official
says.
Very fine work is being done with
weights and balances now. In the
past Is years apparatus has been
so highly developed that even the
scientists in their striving for per-
lection say that their laboratory
work is good enough for all pur-
poses. ,
Laboratory weighing is far ahead
of practical, everyday weighing. The
Federal experts are working now
i'm cooperation with the states for
more uniform state laws and fair
weight for the public. IN the golden
age of some future day the people
of one state will not have to accept
as honest weight that which by law
is dishonest in other states, and the
grocer's thumb in all its sizes WI
no longer be included in the weight
of the purchasers package.

And the unprecedented success that
has marked the college game in the
middle west is a most interesting
phase of sport which. when the
present season began. was regarded
a on the wane. Indeed. in the central
areas of the country certain colleges
were talking of dropping the game
from the roster of intercollegiate
sports and carrying track athletics
| along to fill its place.
But the current sea son in the middle
west has seen much better attendance
at games and there are hopes that as
time goes on the sport will be placed
in the money-making class. 1t is a
curious fact that only at Harvard,
Princeton and Yale, whose big three
series will draw from ten to twenty
| thousand, is base ball real money
maker.
For this reason. II for no other, there
there is reason to doubt that the
game will ever be dropped or even
| subordinated in the big three COL
leges. For example. receipts of the
Yale base ball season of 1915 and 1916
were s40.514.56 and s46.57s.S4 respec-
| lively and this is about the average
for Yale as for Harvard and Prince
ton.
At most colleges base ball is a small
producer il not a liability. Its chief
value Is as high light commence
ment day function, games being play
ed against natural rivals Reasons
given for lack of support of college
base ball by the public is that it has
been educated by organized teams. 1t
knows too much about good base ball
! to be willing to put up with an in
ferior brand.
The teams of the middle west and
of the south have shown improved
quality this season. with the result
of better attendance and something
significant about the appearance of
the financial budgets. In the south
especially the progress Of the Upi-
versity OF North Carolina nine-said
to be one of the finest teams this
country has seen in a long time-was
enthusiastically followed.
There Is a movement on at the pres
ent time in the middle west to induce
good eastern and southern college
mines to visit the west next spring in
| the interest of further awakening en-
| thusiasm for the college games.

THREE j. S. GOLFERS
IN THE BRITISH OPEN
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SANDWICH. June 19.-Qualifying
play in the British open golf champion
ship tournament was started today un-
der ideal weather conditions. A gentle
west wind swept the two courses-the
Princes and the Royal St Georges
and the turf was in excellent condition,
having benefited from recent rains.
More than 200 competitors hoped to
qualify in this the greatest golfing
event of the year. The eighty turning
in the lowest cards for todays and to-
morrow's medal play, will be eligible
for the match play on Thursday and
Friday.
Jock Hutchison. the American. who
won the open last year. is defending his
title and the United States is repre-
sented by two other strong players in
Jim Barnes and Walter Hagen.
The Princes course measures $3.50
yards and the Royal st. Georges, 6.616

The execution Of Morvich's defeat,
