The District law applies to every
commodity or article OF merchandise
sold by weight. measure or count.
Hence it is not confined TO foods.
Losses which would accrue on small
discrepancies OF hundreds of other
commodities have not been estimated.
Such a figure would be staggering if
1t were computed.
In practically all retail transactions
the buyer must abide by the repre-
sentations OF the seller. Rigid en-
forcement Of the honesty OF such
transactions is logically an important
function of any civic or municipal
government. Many American cities,
strangely, stirk their responsibilities
in this respect. Such cities are costly
places OF residence for the average
citizen.

Apparently the practical limit -;
size has not yet been reached. Sea
planes of gross weighF of 30 .0ou
pounds and more appear entirely prac-
ticable. With land planes. increaSe

in handling on the graupd and in tp"
enormous hangers which are required.
With seaplanes, increase in size has
the overwhelming advantage of pro

sea planes have shown renarkab hi,

Multiple engines will be used be

The fuel will gradually change from

District. you will understand the need
for such q multiplicity of equipment.
Here, in brief Is WashingtOn'S busi-
ness directory boiled down: Groceries
and similar foods, 1894 garages and
gasoline stations, 410; delicatessen
stores and confectioners, 40: meats
and poultry, 351; dry goods and de-
partment stores, 252: wholesale and

business tabliShmentS.
In addition there are S14 transient
vendors and peddlers distributed in
this wise: Fuel and ice 3O9; fruits and
vegetables, All; junk. 81; meats and
poultry, S, and miscellaneous com
modities. 40.
The historic system of guessing at
the weight of ice at the time of de-
livery is gradually being eliminated.
The District law requires that all ice
be weighed as delivered to the con-
sumner. Icemen who still persist in
selling ice by guess weights are
discovered and prosecuted.
Considerable difficulty has been met
with in the enforcement of the rules
regulating the sale OF coal. Loads of
coal are reweighed from time to time
and general supervision Of the In
duStry Is conducted. Supt. Roberts
hopes to have efficient equipment for
testing large scales. so that even
closer scrutiny of the coal business
may be instituted. Many poor people
at present depend upon peddlers for
their supplies of fuel and pay these
vendors enormous prices. The large
number uI Iuei pedd!erS operating
throughout the District during cold
weather makes it extremely difficult
for the authorities to keep close check
on their activities. Consumers can
assist here by being careful about
their purchases Of fuel, particularly
when they buy in small amounts and
pay per-ton prices perhaps double
those that obtain at the reputable
coal yards.
4 SHORTAGE in weight of only
n one ounce a pound on retail sales
in the District of 10 common food
commodities would cost the con-
sumers $1.426,000 more than they
should rtghtfully pay for such pro-
visions.
A detection of one ounce a pound
in the sales OF meats would make a
total Of $420,000 q year. Our bread
supply would cost an extra St0S. GOO

A SUBSTITUTE FOR TWINE.

tancc, is the strong wire grass of the
slough lands of Wisconsin. Minnesota

known TO botanists as CareX str!cta,
is very abundant, but was for u long
time considered valuelesS.
The process OF manufacture consists
Of washing the grass, combing to sep
arate the fibers and spinning in spe-
cially devised machine, which twists a
fine protecting yarn in with them,
thereby insuring the evenness neces-
sary to use In harvesting machines.
The waste is made into bottle covers,

April 81, 1926.
| wish to extend my congratulations
ON the success of your effort in the
prevention of accidents during the
year 1925, which enabled you to win
the "Sentinels of Safety" trophy
awarded to the leaders in the national
safety competition held under the aus
pieces of the Bureau of Mines.
The American working man leads
the world in individual productivity,
but our expenditure of human life
through industrial accidents has
robbed us of much of the net advan-
tage of our efficiency in production.
Since there are more than 100000 ac-
cldents in the mining and quarry in
dustries annually, it is easy to forsee
great economic benefits from this
nationwide movement, in which dur
ing its first year more companies and
individuals have participated than in
ony other safety contest.
Realizing that the advancement of
safety IN mining and quarrying de-
ponds upon the men who actually pro-
duce our coal, ore and stone, one of the
principal objects of this national SAT-
ETY. competition has been to enlist the
cooperation of every worker. In APP
probation of the value of this coopera-
ton eaeeh person employed by your
company during 1925 will receive a
certificate of honor signed by the Di-
rector of the Bureau of Mines.
