Standard Articles Are
Called Most Economical


SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June T.
Standardization and simplification
of the diverse grades and quail
ties of merchandise would great
lly increase the purchasing power
of the consumers dollar, said Ray
M. Hudson. assistant director for
commercial standards of the
United States bureau of stand
ards, in an address prepared for
delivery here before the biennial
convention of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs.
He suggested that commercial
standards be established by joint
action of manufacturers, distribu-
tors and consumers and that the
grade of each commodity be GER
titled on it by a stamp or label.
That, Mr.. Hudson declared,
would save confusion and prevent
excessive expenditures among wo-
men, whom, he said. make so per-

WATER7HEML0Ck
CAUSES DEATH
OF LIVESTOCK
Alask a Cattle Killed by
Eating Water-Hemlock
Roots, Inquiry Shows

Deaths of range cattle in the
Strawberry Point section, the
cause of which could not be de
teimined by the settlers. were the
result of eating the roots of wa
ter-hemlock,. according to an in
vestigation made by the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture. The re
port on this study was made pub
bic today by Charles II. Flory,
commissioner in Alaska for the
department.
The loss of livestock was
brought to his notice by Lester
Rink, a strawberry Point home
steader, where grazing of cattle
is one OF the most important of
the agricultural industries car
ried on. /, Mr., Rink brought in
the contents of the stomachs of
the animals found dead.
Mr.. Flory sent this material to
Washington for analysis. 1t was
found that part of the contents
was water-hemlock roots, the ex-
act variety OF which could not be
determined. Some of thu roots
were planted SO that growing
plant could be studied.
w. r. Chaplire, inspector OF
grazing In charge of range re-
search, wrote Mr.. Flory that the
plant lis undoubtedly the most
virulently poisonous of ali the
Towering plants upon the North
American continent. A piece Of
the root about I. the size of a
hickory nut is ordinarily fatal to
human beings, and there is no
class of livestock that is not very
sensitive to the toxic principals
of this plant. The plan. should
either be gruRbed out from the
area where these losses occur,
or the Cattle should be g,tten
away from It by fencing or other
means as the plant is extremely
dangerous, and It does not take
much to cause death"

IN GAINING COLLEGE EDUCATION

BOSTON, June Maria Molin-
airy has followed a $4,000 mile
trail from Aquadilla, Porto Rico,
to Boston during her quest for a
college education. -
The long-sought guerdon is now
in sight for this persevering miss,
for she is to receive her degree
from Boston University this June.
Travels that began in the West
Indies led her to Honolulu, into
the Far East, across Europe to
London, thence to the United
States, and then a few thousand
miles more.
The eldest of family of five,
Maria acted as interpreter after
she had finished grammar school
in Porto Rico. Then she accom-
panied her missionary-guardian
Mildred l.. Smith, to Honolulu
where she competed her high
school work.
From there long journey took
them through Japan, China, India
and the countries of Europe td
Paris. They arrived there too late
for Maria to enter school. The
same hardness kept her from en-
tering any Of the. New Yorl. uni
versities, when, at length, they
crossed the Atlantic.
But Maria went to the middle
west, where she found opportuni
ty to make up her back worl

 Only 5000 cases have been packed at the Taku cannery. Capt. Ahues said This amount N un- der that of last year, but the sea sons late opening date this year accounts for this, he said Sal mon are not running any too well. he declared, and made the asser- ton the weather was permitting the fish to remain at sea.
 Within two weeks, said Capt. Ahues. cannerymen will know whether O" not the season will be success. At the present there appears to be good chance for l successful season, although he declared himself less optimistic than the fishermen in the Cross Sound district, who anticipate a big pack.

THE SECRET STUDIO
 AT COLISEUM TONIGHT

Is the modern girl equipped by parental training and higher edu- cation for any emergency that life in the commercial world may present? This is the question of '"The Secret Studio," at the Coli scum tonight.
 This picture, directed by Vic tor Schertzinger for Fox Films, is not a problem play in the general ly accepted sense of the phrase. It is, nevertheless. play which puts a problem before every think ing girl who sees what life as an artists model presents for Rosemary Merton.
 In the role of Rosemary Merton the New Jersey village girl who goes to New York to earn her living, after a term at college, Olive Borden is doing the best work of her screen career. She not only gives a clearcut. many facted delineation of the self-as- sured young girl facing a career in New York's art studios, but she also wears many beautiful creations of the modiste's shop.
 The cast of "The Secret Studio' embraces several well-known and popular players including Clifford Holland, Ben Bard, Walter Nc. Grail, Joseph Cawthorn, Ned Sparks. Margaret Livingston, Kate Bruce and Noreen Phillips.

Attractions At Theatres
DOWN THE STRETCH"
 SHOWING AT PALACE

Down the Stretch" King Bag got's Universal-Jewel production showing at the Palace, depicts life behind the scenes at one of Americas largest race tracks and is one of the most entertaining pictures of the year.
 Down the Stretch" is a story of a jockey, excellently portrayed by Robert Agnew, who in the face of almost impossible odds, wins the hand of the girl he loves, Marian Nixon, and extricaies him. self from a maze of befuddled circumstances. There are no melodramatic situations, no mort gage to be paid off, but the en- tire picture is chuck full of real human interest and heart throbs.
 King Baggot has gone to great length to get realism into this picture; instead of the usual stu dio horse race, the entire cast went on location at the Belmont race track and some of the fast est race horses in the country were borrowed from their owners and trainers for the shots Lady In Black, the mare ridden by Ag- new, is one of the best two-year- olds in the country.
 In addition to Agnew and the charming Miss Nixon, the cast embraces a number of featured players, including Ward Crane, Otis Harlon, Virginia True Board man and Ena Gregory.
