NEW RULE OFFERED
FOR STORE FOODS.
Fowler Submits Measure for
Better Protection of Dis.
played Staples.

The District Commissioners today
began consideration of new regula-
ton proposed by Health Officer Will
liam c. Fowler to protect foodstuffs
on display from dust and insects. The
new regulation is designed to replace
one now in force which has been OBJ
jected to by meat dealers and the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation.
The meat dealers had objected par
ticularly to being compelled to display
meat for sale in refrigerated glass
cases. In the rewritten regulation the
refrigeration feature has been omitted.
The proposed new rule follows:
mo person shall expose for sale
or display on any highway or In any
market, store, shop, stand, stall or
in any other place in the District of
Columbia any meat. fish, plucked
bit or squirrel, butter, butterine or
oleomargarine, lard, lard compound or
substitute, cheese. confectionery, or
baked products. dates, figs or any
other food whatsoever of a kind not
commonly washed, peeled. shelled or
cooked before eaten, unless the same
be then and there effectually wrapped
or covered, or inclosed in glass, fine
mesh wire screen, or other suitable
covering so as to protect 1t from dust,
dirt, flies, insects and promiScuous
handling by prospective purchasers;
nor shall any person transport over
any public highway in the District for
sale or to be delivered to a purchaser
or consumer, any article aforesaid I'M
less the same be effectually and in a
oil Vna1 N0VaYaH
so as to protect 1t from dust, flies and
other contamination.
Live poultry shall not be kept in
any room in which any of the a1ore-
said articles are prepared, stored or
exposed for sale or displayed"
DR.. Fowler made a study of SINH
lar health regulations in II other
cities before drafting the new rule
Our survey showed clearly" he
said, that the health authorities
throughout the country appreciate
the Importance of and the need for
proper protection Of foods sold for
human consumption. In several cities
the regulations provide for the use Of
electric fans for the purpose. The
Health Department of the District,
however, has found the use of these
fans, for the purpose indicated. very
unsatisfactory, and only within the
last few days have some of its In
spectors observed meat displayed in
the Center Market with flies on it
while such fans were in active opera
ton.
But If the fans would keep away
flies and insects, they will not pre-
vent prospective purchasers from han
ding meats and other foods. and even
if such handling did not tend to spread
Infection, it is, to say the least.
dirty practice and the PEOPLE should
not be forced to eat food that has been
handled promiscuously.
This practice. regret to say, still
prevails to some extent in the Dis
trict, and it should not longer be toll
Grated, Notwithstanding that a few
other cities seem to be satisfied with
such methods"

cidedly better results than the ar
rest of drivers for violation Of such
petty regulations as driving with one
headlight, improperly focused head
lights, no tail lights, dirty identified
ton tags, etc.
Inspector Brown was instructed to
give further study to the plan and
submit a list of the minor offenses
which he believes should be handled
by the Traffic Bureau instead of the
Police Court His recommendations
will be submitted to Col. Moller and
Maj. Hesse early next week.
Check Will Be Kept.
Under the proposed system motor
list found by the police to be violating
any of the minor regulations would be
given a card warning him of the
specific offense charged against
him. The offender would be re-
uuired then to correct any Of the de-
fects within a limited period and re-
port to the Traffic Bureau, where a
check-up would be made to determine
if the condition had been remedied
satisfactorily. Failure to correct the
defect would result in the issuance
of a warrant for the arrest of the Of
fender.
The warning card system first was
proposed several months ago by Traf-
1lc Director NJ. O. Eldridge, when ar
rests for traffic violations were being
made at an unprecedented rate. Mr..
Eldridge's original plans will be modi-
fled, however, in the system now pro-
posed.
Col. Moller pointed out that he is
confident that the warning-card sys-
tenn will reduce traffic arrests material
ly and relieve congestion in the Police
Court.

said, records Of the Police Depart

the traffic arrests are for violation
of the minor regulations.

barrassment of being taken into court
under the new plan" he said, land the
Traffic Bureau will be in a position
to see that the defects for which the
arrests previously were made actually
are corrected"
