IT fell to the lot of 76 cases of canned peas
to be the first shipment of food since the
enactment of the MaNary-MapeS amendment
to the Federal food and drugs act to be found
misbranded. This particular lot was found to
contain excessive quantity of hard peas and
therefore not standard goods as the standard
has been promulgated by the Secretary OF
Agriculture.
Under the amendment all canend goods with
the exception of meat and meat products and
milk products, must conform to the standards
set up by the department. So far, the standards
have been set for peas, peaches, pears, tomatoes,
apricots and cherries, and work on the other
standards is progressing.
AS the amendment operates, the housewife
knows that the canned goods she buys are OF q
minimum high standard for unless labeled
otherwise, the goods to be at least as good as
the standard. Sometimes canned goods fall be-
low this standard, but still are edible and whole
some as in the Of the seized peas. In that
case, the label is supposed to carry in SUI
ficiently large print to be plainly evident the
words, Below u S. Standard. Low quality but
not illegal"
To those of limited means who are unable TO
pay for the better grades, these subStandard
goods offer nourishment if not delicacy, and
they are therefore permissible with the proper

Dry Mix Industry Groqgs

THE production of dry or powdered milk has
! reached proportions which now makes of
this industry one of the leading industries of
the country. In this process, all the water is
removed from the milk or the milk products
usually by spraying the fluid into a tiled cham
Der in very fine spray. A current of hot dry
air removes the moisture and allows the dried
product to fall to the floor in powder form.
In 1880, the last year for which the DEPART
ment of Agriculture has gathered figures,
remarkable increase in production over the pre-
Wous year was noted Dried whole milk in
total of 15.440,000 pounds was up more than
1000, 900 pounds over the previous year. Casein,
the largest single component of fluid milk, was

THE marvellous cocoon Of the silk worm stin
remains one of the wonders of nature. for
this carefully reared and nurtured worm, when
it enters the cocoon stage. wraps itself i'll one
continuous thread often as much as four -fifths
of mile long.
The discovery Of the thread of the cocoon
is credited to wife of a Chinese Emperor as
far back as $500 BIC, but it was not until the
sixth century since the birth of Christ that the
manufacture of silk worked westward into Eu-
rope The first of the worms to be brought
West were carried by two Persian monks in hol-
low canes who brought them to Oonstantinople.
After eventually reaching France, the silk in
dustry received considerable acceeration
which later drew England into the field, for
many silk weavers were forced from France by
the edict of Nantes. Seeking a supply OF
cocoons, the English sought to foster the pro-
duction of the silk worm in the colonies. The
first were introduced into Virginia with bounties
offered for the production of silk. Virginians
found, however, that tobacco was more profit
able crop and the silk worm languiShed.
Efforts were also made to establish the worm
in South Carolina and in Connecticut, while rs
or years ago an attempt was made in Cali
fornia, but they all came to nothing.

THE exhibition of etchings and drypoints by
Y Eugene Higgins which opened at the divi-
sion of graphic arts, Smithsonian Building,
March %, is the work of an artist with some
thing to Say-a message of such strong human
appeal that one is apt to overlook the master

higgins eyes has the dramatic intensity OF
struggle, but no gentleness or beauty. For
derelicts, the luckless and the downtrodden
are his chief inspiration. These are not VIC
Tins of the depression, but the submerged
classes of all times and countries in their ele-
mental character Mr. Higgins somber vision
Is said to be due to the poverty of his own early
years and his bitter struggle to achieve repu-
tation. He was born in 1874 of Irish parents,
in Kansas City where his father was stone
cutter. The boy early manifested an interest in
creative expression, chiselng heads and figures
out Of the chips in his fathers stone yard. This
early leaning toward sculpture left a lasting i'm
preston upon his painting and prints, in which
his figures are dealt with broadly, with little
attention to detail This gives his work strength
and appealing sincerity. While still in his
teens, Mr.. Higgins moved to st. Louis, attended
the School of Fine Arts, and saved the money
earned by odd jobs, which took him to Paris at
the age of %. There he spent seven years in
fEcole deS BeauX Arts under Gerome and IN
Julien's Academy and independently studied

Spurring the pioneers their westward jour-
ney. This etching is also illustrative OF the well
co-ordinated design in which Mr. Higgins excels
the interrelated angles and horizontak. The
man behind the second wagon is most express
siye, eloquent Of the dogged determination OF
our pioneers, despite the heaviness OF long
borne fatigue. Don QuiXote and Sancho

THE subjects of most of Mr.. Higgins etchings,
however, are so hopelessly poor or unfortu-
nate that their spirit has been crushed. A
peasant mother truGges homeward with her
child after a heavy days work, judging from
her bent figure; a ragged hermit enters his
cave in the hillside followed by his dog, as
storm clouds gather overhead; two half
drowned castaways drag themselves upon the
sand of rocky island: a group Of refugees
hasten from their homes, carrying bundles and
bird cages and driving pigs before them;

NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS
DUE TO SUPER.
CONFIDENCE

To the super-confidence OF
many motorists in their ability
to operate an automobile can
be traced a vast number OF
serious accidents, according to
Col. E. Austin Baughman,
Commissioner of Motor We
hicles.
st is truly a rare occurrence,
the Commissioner said, ''to
find an operator who does not
consider himself an expert !;
and, as his driving experience
accumulates there is apparent
ly further imitation of his self
confidence until a point of 'su-
per-cOnfidence' is reached
Then comes the inevitable dis
aster. Confidence is an excel
lent attribute if it is justified,
Super-confidence is very apt to
prove a menace both to it's pos
SCISSOR and other users of the
highways.
Evidence of experiences, -
Colonel Baughman asserated,
sis not shown in avoiding acct
dents by inches. 1t is to be
shown in anticipating POSSIBLE
tiles of an accident, and driv-
ing so that no emergency
measures will become neces-
sary.
"a study of thousands of &C
cidents and Investigations of
highway disasters clearly JUS
titles the conclusion that a
large majority of the operators
involved are suffering from the
super-confidence complex.
Generally speaking, each
operator will endeavor to lay
The entire blame for an acct
lent upon the other person IN
golved. Statements in acct
dent reports frequently empha-
size the fact that if the other
person had conducted himself,
or operated his car, in a differ
ent manner, no accident would
nave occurred.
This is especially true in re-
gard to accidents occurring at
Intersections type of acct
dent that not infrequently re-
suits in serious injury or
death.

THE INFLUENCE OF TREES

A writer in the. Minnesota
Horticulturist says: There
are but few people in the world
who do not admire noble trees
on streets or country roads and
wherever they are found, such
thoroughfares are the favorite
drives.
"The man who plants trees
is not only a public benefactor;
he, besides, ministers to his
own well being, physical, men
tai and spiritual. He displays
good judgment in securing
contentment for himself, there
by affording a double motive
for his endeavors. Honor and
happiness will be his reward"

n. s. ENDS YEAR WITH So
9OO.OOO,OOO DEFICIT

When the Federal Govern
ment closed it's accounts Tor
the fiscal year 1882 at midnight
June 80, there was a balance OF
approximately $4,000, 10000 0 Q
on the debit side of the ledger.
Prospects are brighter, how
ever. for the account sheet
which the Treasury started
July 1, with the new revenue
bill and drastic economies in
appropriation bills givin g
promise of a more nearly bal
anced slate for .the fiscal year
1888.
For the last two years, ex-
penses of the Federal Govern
ment have run ahead of re-
ceipts. Last year the deficit
amounted approximately to
1903, 100000, about one-third
of that accumulated this year.
While the new tax law will
add about $1,11S, 100000 t.
present revenues, this entire
sum will go toward balancing
the budget for the coming year
and will not in any way lessen
the debt incurred in the last II
months. This years deficit,
together with that of the fiscal
year 1881, will be turned over
into the public debt to be | aid
in future years as outstanding
bonds and securities reach ma
turity.
The $2,9OO,OOO,OOO deficit
was piled up by about a 33 per
cent decrease in receipts and
about a 20 per cent increase in
expenses, according to Treas
ury estimates.
The last year the govern
ment ledger showed a surplus
was 1880 when the books on
June 80 showed 100000
on the credit side. That year
terminated II cons scout We
years Of profit for the Govern
ment. The 1882 deficit is the
largest in the peace-time his
tory of the United States.

be closely watched, variety in the
diet presents problem. Yet
children not only need a variety
Of foods, but they eagerly enjoy
surprises Of any sort. Strawber-
ries in winter, fish when one lives
far away from the water, creamed
chicken when beef stew is usual
these things make dinner a
real event in lives customarily

The economy of canned foods
is another important item. The
fact that there is no waste of
time in preparing foods; no waste
Of the foods themselves when they
come out Of the can; and no
waste in spoilage because the cans
are opened as they are ready for
use-these qualities make canned
foods especially desirable:9 The
safety of using canned foods and
their high nutritional value has
been proved by scientific expert
ment and vouched for by many
prominent physicians who recon-
mend their use.*

CORN BORER QUARANTINE
REVOKED

Secretary Hyde announced
today that he had revoked the
domestic European corn borer
quarantine regulations, effec-
tive July Is, 1882. All Federal
restrictions on interstate ship
ments under that quarantine
will be cancelled on that date.
"The reason for the revoca-
ton" Secretary Hyde said, sis
the failure to obtain funds suf-
ficient to maintain effective
control. The departments es-
innate as to the needs for this
work during this fiscal year
was $795,000, a decrease of
$155, 900 from the last years
appropriation. The House com.
mlttee on appropriations re-
duced the amount to $c95.OOO
stating that the reduction was
to be accomplished by the
elimination of the road patrol.
The committee report was &C
copied by the House and later
by the Senate and the bill was
passed and approved Oh Juiy

item.
"The sum of $295,O is e>-
tirely inadequate" the Secre-
tary said, ito prevent the ship
ment or trucking of corn from,
the infested areas and to carry
out the other measures essen
tial for the protection of unin-
tested districts, and the de-
partment therefore has no
choice but to cancel the regula-
tlons. Revocation of Fedora,
regulations will give unlnfest-
ed States an opportunity to is
sue such orders as they MAY
feel necessary for protection
against the introduction of in
