HOUSEWIFE is
Warned ABOUT
: SHORT Weigh
Annual Invasion of PeddIerS
From Southland Due
S00n.
Housewives beware.

I1OuS0W1NeS U6WdI0s
The annual invasion of short
weight peddlers from the South Is
due soon. Take care in buying.
Miss Mary Pearl Riddle, chief in
spector of weights and measures,
today issued this warning to In
dianapolis housewives.
Weights and measures inspectors
are preparing to combat peddlers'
activities and will bring many into
court, but housewives are urged to
be on the alert.
Watch Icemen
With the milder weather, inspec-
tors also are maintaining close
watch on operations Of number Of
dishonest ice dealers. They have
just finished a sortie into ranks of
coal distributors who forgot there
are 1000 pounds to the tone.
'If we could obtain whole-hearted
public cooperation, we could save
citizens thousands of dollars" Miss
Riddle said. Unfortunately, people
are unwilling to appear in court and
give testimony against those who
have cheated them.
IAN ounce of short weight to the
pound seems trivial to the house
wife, but the total sum lost will run
into big figures. We know that a
j humber of dealers are able to care
FLOR their entire overhead through
money obtained by short weighing
their customers"

and it began with the remark that
when I first accepted the invitation OF
the Shenandoah court to appear before
it and testify for my husband. that
felt at that time that my husband was
in need Of defense. but since then l
have changed my mind and felt that
the court was absolutely capable of
handling the situation and l was en-
tirely willing to leave it in their
hands. and 1 was simply appearing be-
cause L promised to appear.
THE second paragraph stated that
my husband regarded the Shenandoah
as a man-of-war and did not like to
take it on trips for exhibition pur-
poses but that at any time, no matter
what the weather conditions or land
ing facilities. he was at all times will
ing to take her anywhere in the event
of military maneuvers.
"The final paragraph simply ex-
pressed again my thanks and appre-
citation TO the court and that / was
