that you will get Just about what
you ask for and pay for. But
there are many kinds of canned
tomatoes. Some cans contain bet
ter tomatoes than others. They
may all be wholesome and good to
eat. But some are better than
others-and the buyer has right
to know just what kind she is
getting.
The same general principle
naturally applies to other can
ned foods. Corn or cherries,
peas, pears, peaches, sauerkraut,
shrimp.
Everybody knows that there
are different qualities of canned
foods, just as there are different
qualities of fruits and vegetables
and the other good things that go
into cans. There are also su-
perior and inferior methods of
doing the canning. This amend
ment, then, authorizes legal quail
ity standards for all canned foods
that are enclosed in Theoretically
sealed containers and sterilized
by heat-with two exceptions.
The exceptions are canned milk
and canned meat and meat prod
ucts-not fish and poultry.
The amendment gives the Sec
retary Of Agriculture authority to
set standards of quality, con-
dition, and fill of container of all
canned food, with the two ex-
ceptions | mentioned. If product
falls below the standard of quail
ity, condition, or fill established,
it must bear a plain and con-
spicuous statement of such a
nature as to advise the buyer that
that food is below standard. The
designation has been set. 1t is
Below United States Standard
Low Quality, But Not Illegal.
Those words will be the buyers
guide after a certain date, a
period Of at least 80 days after
formulation of official standards.
Standards for canned peaches,
peas, and pears already have
been worked out, announced by
the Secretary, and will go into
effect May IS. Tentative stand
ards for canned tomatoes, april
cots, and cherries have been
announced and, following official
hearings and consideration by the
trade, the consumer, and the De-
partment of Agriculture, will be-
come law. Standards for other
canned foods are being worked
out and will be officially an
nounced as soon as possible.
Meaning to Buyer
Now, what will the enforcement
of the Gamers bill mean to the
buyer? 1t will mean
First, that quality and con-
dition standards for practically
all classes of canned foods except
meat and meat-food products,
and canned milk, will be eventu-
ally set by the Secretary of Agri-
culture.
Second, that standard fill Of
container for such products will
be enforced. This standard of fill
has been drawn up already, thus
guaranteeing the housewife pro-
lection against slack-filled cans.
Third, that the buyer Of canned
foods will not have to worry about
slack fills, and as standards for
each class are formulated and
promulgated, about getting an

PETROLEUM EXPORT
TRADE ON DECLINE;
IMPORTS INCREASE

According to Government fl.
ures just released by the United
States Bureau of Mines, a com
parison of the first four months
of this year with the first four
months of last year shows that
our export trade in petroleum pro-
ducts has suffered severly.
Exports of gasoline, kerosene
and other refined products showed
a decrease this year of almost 80
per cent, or from 47,569,000 bar
rels last year to 33, 3,4Ss,0O0 bar
rels this year. Exports to Eng
land and Continental Europe drop
ped sharply. We are losing our
export trade very rapidly.
Exports of crude oil dropped
from 7,Ss5,000 barrels last year
to 7o41,0o0 barrels this year-or
about 5 per cent.
Imports of foreign oils into the
| United States dropped from TO-
$4,000 barrels last year to L.
O19.00 barrels this year-or about
Is percent. Of this decline in
crude imports, Mexico dropped
from 1,972,000 to 1,7SO,OO0 bar
rels-Golumbia increased from
5,01S,000 to 5,192,00O barrels
while Venezuela dropped from H.
$4,000 to 9,329,00O barrels.
However, imports of refined
products increased from 1887
900 barrels to 14,041,0 900 barrels.
In calling attention today to this
slight decline in total petroleum
imports this year compared with
last year, Russell Brown, Coun
sci of the Independent Petroleum
Association, that has waged two
unsuccessful fights before Con. |
gress for Tariff on Gil, said that |
even If we included the production
of East Texas (11,1Ss,O0O barrels |
year, the output of the entire In
tied States was 269, $4,000 bar
rels this year compared with 30S,-
$4,000 barrels last year, or a de-
crease in four months this year OF
3s, ,621,000 barrels.
Total imports of crude and re-
fined thus far this year have de-
clined only 3,276,O00 barrels-while
of refined products have
actually increased.
Only the present flood of oil
from East Texas temporarily
turns our attention from the real
menace of imports that, once East
Texas is curbed, will again pour
n on us-and again emphasize tire
need of an Oil Tariff.

rood and Drugs Act prohibits the
sale In interstate commerce of
adulterated, misbranded, or in

desires a cheaper product for

perfectly safe in buying canned

Quality Requirement Explained
The value of the Gamers bill
to the housewife, to the consumer.
Will be the assurance that the
canned foods she purchases meet
a definite, minimum quality re-
qulrement established by Coy
ernment agency. The amendment
Will not constitute a bar to the
manufacture and sale of whole
some canned food of a quality
lower than the standard, but such
products will have to be labeled
so that If the buyer wishes less
expensive canned food, she will
be able to buy it with full knowl-
edge of its character and, it is
presumed, at a lower price. We
in the Food and Drug Administra.
tion feel that a housewife with a
limited budget should be enabled,
under the terms of the Gamers
bill, to buy substantial product
within the reach of her pocket
book which will carry the nu-
tritive If not the aesthetic value
of standard canned foods-pro.
vided she reads intelligently the
labelling required by the amend
ment to appear on the can.
Substandard Product Wholesome
1t is not the Food and Drug Ad-
ministration's conception of the
purpose Of Congress, in enacting
this bill, that the labelling for
substandard foods was intended
to stigmatize unduly the article
to which it is applied. The amend
ment makes it very clear that it's
q IN of
know what goods are below the
standard, but the substandard
product will be wholesome and
edible, even If not so palatable
or so attractive as the standard
product. If the food were un-
wholesome or inedible, it's dis
tribution would be illegal under
the terms of the national pure
food laws.

THREE decades ago-before the
a passage of the Federal FooC
and Drugs Act-when the house
wife donned her poke bonnet anG
went to the store for, let us say
can of tomatoes, she was enter
ing into a deal that had some of
the marks Of the long chance
She asked for what she wanted
and she put her money down in
good faith. Maybe she got what
she wanted-maybe she lid not.
| am afraid that | cannot say
the whole canning trade in those
days was notable for the quality
of the foods 1T was putting out.
And this sad state of affairs was
not limited to tomatoes. There
was at least popular feeling that
buying almost any kind of canned
food, then, was an interesting di-
version for people who also liked
to try to beat the she'll game at
the county fair. In too many in
stances this feeling was we'll
founded.
But, in "a years. enforcement OF
the national pure food law, a
change has come about. An
amazing change for the better in
the quality of canned foods on
the American market. And the
public, long-suffering, it is true,
but highly appreciatiye of good
turn, has fallen to and bought
more and more of these foods that
come In cans. The Food and
Drugs Act specifies that foods be
unadulterated, wholesome, and
honestly labeled. The canning in
dustry as a whole has supported
this law admirably. The law has
helped the public. The law has
encouraged ethical and profitable
business.
Deficiency Corrected
There was a loophole, however,
In the Food and Drugs Act in so
far as canned foods are con-
cerned. That loophole has now
been plugged through the enact
ment of an amendment to the law,
the so-called Gamers bill. The
President signed the bill that
amended the pure food law July
last. And the canning industry
itself was the power that put that
bill through. The Gamers, not
satisfied with existing standards
for canned foods, fought for bill
that imposes more rigid restric-
tions upon themselves. 1t is not
going to tighten the task of the
Federal Food and Drug Admin
istration to have to take up the
burden imposed by this amend
ment. But that task will be
carried on, as effectively as per-
sonnel and working funds will
permit.
New Measure Commended
believe that enforcement of
the Gamers bill will do the con-
sumer and honest business a lot
of good. This new measure is
going to make 1t much harder for
the purchaser of canned foods not
to get her moneys worth. That
will mean that more buyers will
get their full moneys worth.
How? Well, suppose we go back
to tomatoes.
You go to the store and ask for
can. II you are one of the many
who buy with discrimination
OF those who read labels-who
accept no substitutes for what
you really want-the chances are

were subjects of interest to the
scientists. In that region are ex-
posed the layers of rock that were
formed in the earliest periods of
prehistoric life on the earth.
Formed by a shallow sea that once
spread itself over central and wes-
tern Montana. this limestone con-
talns many fossilized specimans of
prehistoric life that are of inter
est to geologists, These forma-
tlons We're given particular atten-
ton by Professor Erling Dorf, OF
Princeton, and Gordon X. Bell, cf
Columbia university.
What was perhaps the most in
teresting development of the ex-
pedition was the discovery of fos-
sill remains of a Dinosaur. one of
the mammoth lizard-like creatures
that lived on the earth ages before
men and the animals that exist
today made their appearance. In
the Beartooth mountains were
found petrified formations believed
to have been the bones, teeth, and
eggs of the prehistoric animal,
which seemed TO establish the fact
that these great lizards once lived
in this region, fact that was
formerly doubted.
When the scientific work COM
menees the later part of this mon
tn, it is expected that many for
eign scientists will be present, with
the prominent educators from var
ious colleges and universities inI
the United States. DR.. Thom has
described the Beartooth area asI
a ''mecca for geologists and scien-
fists throughout the world. Be-
cause of the great variety and |
easy accessibility of the rock for
nations this area is one of the
best natural laboratories that is
known today. The exhibitions al
ready discovered near here have
made the region internationally J
known, and it is thought that
these discoveries are only a fair
beginning.
An international Congress of
biologists, mineralogists and pa
leontologists of Europe and AM
erica IS scheduled to be held at the
p ornament camp of the Princetcn
expedition in the summer of 193l.
Besides members of the Prince
ton group, number of scientists
representing other universities
and colleges are expected 10 attend
this summer, forming a coopra-
tive body of scientists that will
seek out and distribute information
for the benefit of all schools and
students in the country.

5icipate in the work are: R. 7.

Five Hundred Additional Dry
Agents and Fleet Of Fast
Cars to Be Used in Campaign

The most intensive drive ever
instituted against violators of the
prohibition law will be launched
July l, according to Director of
Prohibition Amos w. w. Wood
cock, when 500 additional en-
forcement agents and a fleet of
fast automobiles will be- added to
the service.
Since Congress provided for en-
largement of the present force
and appropriated $4,000 for pur-
chase of light fast automobiles a
campaign has been planned that
will strike at the heart of the
Illicit liquor industry, the director
said.
In addition to distributing the
new agents in various sections Of
the country where the liquor in
terests are centered, an intelli-
gence unit will be formed that
will endeavor to ferret out the
plans of the liquor barrons with
a view to blocking their move
ments.
One feature of the new drive
will be the use of an airplane
and two licensed pilots. This
plane will be moved from point
to point as the need requires for
observation of territory where
stills and rum runners are be-
lieved to be in operation.
