Uniform Milk Bottles
Proposed by Bureau

Exchanges and odd sizes and
shapes of bottles for milk distribu-
tion by dairymcn probably will be
replaced by a uniform sales bottle.
according 10 a report Of the Bureau
of Standards yesterday in the Of
ficial publication of the Chamber of
Commerce.
In the manufacture OF milk bot
ties there is now a great deal of
useless expense caused by the lack
of uniformity in the sizes and
marking required by different State
laws. the Bureau of Standards says.
With a view of eliminating this
source OF waste, the bureau is
seeking to standardi9e the sizes and
markings by agreement among the
manufacturers and dairymen, and
by legislation permitting the adop.
tion Of those standards all over
the country.

according to the numerous requests
for such animals received daily at
the Washington Animal Rescue

Lillian Venable. in charge of the
league.
FRIENDLESS MIKE.
Only those who placed their re-
quests early this month are being
furnished with the animals. All
promise to take good care of the
dogs and cats anS announce their
intentions of keeping them hidden
until Christmas.
Although dozens are daily visiting
the headquarters in quest of the
live presents. all pass by the cage
containing Mike" cross between
an Irish terrier and an airdale.
TINE LIMITED.
Mike was picked up about a week
ago by a director of the league.
He was sent TO the headquarters for
humane treatment until ii was de-
cided il anybody wanted him. His
time is limited.
Although only A year old, Mike
seems to realize that his life is at
stake and that if somebody doesn't
give him a home shortly he will be
electrocuted.
As the animal lovers pass by his
cage Mike leaps around. performs
tricks and does everything in his
power to attract them. His efforts
for a week have been futile, and he
seems to realize ii.
Although Mike is nothing for
beauty he is the most intelligent
animal at the home. according to
Miss Nenable. He seems TO know
when a person is searching for
dog and does everything in his
power to make himself attractive.
GOOD WATCH DOG.
Mikes death was scheduled TO
take place Thursday morning.
Through the efforts of a reporter
his time was extended to Saturday
morning with the hope that some
one might become attracted to him.
He is wonderful watch dog" ex-
claimed Miss Venable. who describ-
ed the dogs barking at night when
anybody stirred in the home.
The severe weather has caused a
decrease in the number of animals
received at the home. During warm
weather II is not an unusual thing
to have at least 100 animals brought
here in a day. while the number
received during cold weather rarely
exceeds a dozen a day." stated Miss

FINANCE
AND
BUSINESS
b. d. O. FORBES.

Merchants satisfy Christmas
business.
Other bullish developments
have been plentiful at home.
Both wheat and corn last
week reached the highest prices
of the year.
Cotton came within a frac-
tion of its previous maximum
quotation. and the official esti-
mate of the crop at under 10,-
100000 bales, the lightest, with
one exception, in twenty years,
may, in view of expanding con-
sumption, overshadow still high
er prices. s
Mail order and other concerns
drawing their business largely
from agricultural sections, re-
cord somewhat freer buying.
A new high 1922 price for
copper may be regarded as sig
hificant.
Steel manufacturing is being
carried on in volume greater
than in pre-war times, but
prices are, if anything, a trifle
easier.
Flour, sugar and coffee have
all strengthened in price.
The rubber, and tire people fig
ure on higher prices.
Postal receipts have reached
record-breaking volume.
The building boom appears to
possess sustained vitality.
The week brought a further
rise in the general price level.
Advances now habitually out
number declines, So that the De-
cember index numbers are like
ly to reveal another consider
able advance.
The wage trend likewise is
upward, with a quite unusual
absence of seasonal unemploy-
ment.
Stock quotations have held
their own, and bonds, as a
whole. have gained fraction
ally during the week, a move
ment which may easily gain
momentum in view of the
plethora of surplus funds and
credit-the nations ratio of
bank reserve and a S3,000,000
increase in the country's total
stock of money for last month.
Incidentally, the Treasury eff
fected financial operations of
colossal magnitude without
causing the slightest stir in the
money market.
All domestic developments,
however, were overshadowed by
the extraordinary outburst of
interest in international ru-
mors, international statements
and international activities.
The British prime minister
created astonishment by de-
claring that Britain could not
pay her American debts unless
debts owed her by continental
European countries were paid,
and by predicting that disas-
trous events threatened to
shake the whole financial and
economic structure of Europe
France intimated somewhat
more boldly than ever before
that she aspired to invade and
occupy Germsny's industrial
stronghold, the Ruhr valley, an
intimation that drew objections
from both Britain and the
United States.
German financial and social
conditions were represented as
verging on total collapse, and

 At a special meeting of the Strat- ford council called for the historic town hall in Stratford center tonight, Tomlinson will offer the resolution that caused all the tumuIt in the staid old fashioned town, with an amend ment that would rescind the action taken at the regular meeting of the council last Monday night.

Aldrich Defends
 Football Faults

Boston, Feb. 16-The views of an undergraduate of prominence on the gridiron and of an educator who thinks too much has been made of football were heard from the same table when Malcolm P. Aldrich. cap tain of the Yale eleven last fall and A Lawrence Lowell, president of liar yard University, spoke at the annual dinner of the Yale Club of Boston last night.
 The faults in football have been exaggerated, Aldrich said. The game as whole was under attack because several small faults had been given undue prominence. Football has merely kept in stride with the wishes of the public, instead of football lur- ing the public to follow 1t.
 The undergraduate, President Low ell thought, preserved a true balance of the importance of all the activities, but the alumni and, to a greater de, gree the general public, did not be- cause they saw only the spectacular.
 The Harvard president paid tri- bute to the Yale captain as an ideal undergraduate. and cited instances of sportsmanship shown by him in the Harvard-Ya1e game of last fall. AL drich previously had praised the qualities of sportsmanship of the Harvard team.
