Mix quality High

THE inquiry into the price of milk in the
] District of Columbia focuses attention upon
one thing and that is that Washington has
developed milk supply the quality of which is
ranked with the best in the country and which
has been obtained through minimum of regu-
lation.
Under the law in the District milk must
test 35 per cent in butterfat and must come
from tuberculin- tested herds Other than that
the regulations are few and far between.
The high quality of the milk is due to COM
petition and publicity rather than to a definite
mandatory code with which the farmers and
milk dealers must comply.
The system is based on monthly ratings and
inspections and monthly bulletins which inform
the buying public how the different dairies rate.
One-third of the total score given a dairy Is
based on the methods of handling the milk by
the dairy. One-third is based on the content
of the milk as to butterfat solids not fat,
bacterial count and other important factors and
onc-third is based the methods Of the
farmers supplying milk to the dairyman.
In other words, two-thirds of the score q
dairyman may receive is based on factors out OF
his hands which are all settled before the milk
reaches him. 1t behooves the dairyman, then.
to buy from the best source possible even though
he is forced to pay q premium for the milk.
This premium Is an inducement to other farm
ers to raise the quality Of their milk to equal
or better than produced by these obtaining the
bonus
Once the dairy has been definitely rated It
is placed on list published monthly as bulle-
tin by the Health Department. This bulletin
permits any consumer to know just how the
various dairies rate and IL he finds that some
other dairy is rated much higher than the
dairy serving him, he Is likely to shift his
Patronage This loss Of customer would natur-
ally spur the dairy to renewed effort to bring
its product up to the highest level.
It is no unusual thing for Washington dairies
to score almost 100 per cent, which ranks the
milk in quality with certified mlk-milk which
always calls for decided premium in price over
ordinary grade A milk The certified milk, in
cidentally, Is produced under the most exact
ing conditions OF sanitation and the cost Of
production is far higher than the cost of pro-
ducing the ordinary grade A milk of common
use.

Wheat Surplus GroqUs

THE recent increase in wheat prices is unex-
plainable from the point of view of wheat
market prospects. The carry-over on May
/ totaled TIA, 900 900 bushels, nearly 50,-
600 600 bushels more than a year ago Present
indications are that the carry-over on July /
will exceed that of the record figure for July 1,
1892
Despite all the warnings throughout the
wheat t-growing countries of the world that pro-
duction must be cut back, only Russia and the
Danube basin are failing to produce much
or more wheat than last year.
The prospects Of imitation are probably largely
responsible for the rise in this country specula-
tive interests, recalling the value Of commodi.
ties rather than currency when speculation a
under way, buying wheat for better 2rice.

May Widen Drug Act

THE Department of Agriculture is seeking Q
! revision of the Federal food and drug act
which win bring comestics within the jurisdic-
ton of the present law. Inclusion also of me-
chanical devices which are intended to correct
certain physical rather than disease conditions
is to be sought, both these classes of products
being classed as drugs within the meaning Of
the law.
Another provision Of the proposed new law
would require the same truth in advertisements

Then there was an "unsinkable bathing suit
in the next booth, displayed by its inventor,
A. F. Hamilton of Long Beach, Calf. This
proved to be pneumatic suit of rubber which
may be blown up by the wearer to support him,
or possibly her, in the water.

Long Beach exhibited contrivance which has
already been accepted by railroad men. This
was Claw bar" an improved species Of crow
bar for use In extracting railroad spikes, and it
evidently is going to be put to work on a fairly
large scale.
Harry Blood of Portland, Greg, decided that
the little tees used by golfers offer gold mine

advertisements, printed in small letters around
the ball holder. Thus the golfer, fixing his
ball for drive, would simultaneously and in

variety Of ailments from q tendency TO snore
to bad coughs and hay fever.
C. E. Brooks of st. Louis, having watched
steamboats, on the Mississippi River, contributed
a model of "an eagle winged, air-treadng air
plane" designed to revolutionize aviation.
This new plane. working on the same prin-
ciple as the old Mississippi River side-wheei
steamers, was, according to its inventor, des-
tined to become king Of the air"
COR housewives there was a "seh- -basting
! pressure cooker" devised by M. F. Thaw.
This looked not unlike an ordinary roaster, ex-
cept that it was mounted on swivels and pro-
vided with machinery in such way that the
whole business would turn over slowly during
the process of cooking, thus bssting thoroughly
the meat contained within. Perhaps it should
be added that it was fixed so that the cover
would lock on securely.

Some thoughtful inventor offered a wrist
watch equipped with tiny alarm bell, which
would ring in time to remind its wearer of any
date he might have, or when he should say
good night. Another devised a burglar alarm
for the home which would turn all the
lights and tell just where the burglar was
operating.

Still another inventor, c. H Spots Of Los
Angeles, rejecting on the way in which motor

vented gadget to remove the sleepiness, and,
thereby, to do away with one of the hazards OF
long distance motoring.

which the driver would wear about his neck.
At the back of the mufher is small heat coil;
the object is to supply enough heat to the
nerve center at the base of the skull to nor
malze blood ciculation to the brain, thereby
warding of fatigue. keeping the driver wide
awake and reasonably merry, and preventing
him from going into a doze while driving.
CDITH FOLTZ of Portland, Greg, invented
a flying suit for women which, by the
use Of a couple of zippers could quickly be
transformed into an attractive suit for street
wear. Another inventor contrived tent which,
by the use of zippers, managed to get along
without poles or stakes, could be erected in
four minutes, and had walls that could be

Since that day millions of inventions have
been thrust upon an unsuspecting world; and
q modern wayfarer looking over some OF the
more freakish of the new devices, might be IN
clined to remark, wonderingly, What in the
heck is all of thls?"
For there are inventions and inventions FOR
every man who invents something truly useful
there are a dozen or more who invent gadgets
which never will work and which wouldn't
amount to much if they did work; dreamy
chaps who get, Heaven knows where, dizzy
ideas which they translate into some of the
oddest-looking machinery that ever graced the
planet.
But it is never safe to laugh too loudly. even
SO; for among the thousands of useless freaks
there is always likely to be humble little
thingamajg which will actually do what its
inventor claims for it, and which will turn
razzberries into cheers if it ever gets a chance.
Not long ago the National Inventors Con-
gress assembled in Los Angeles.
THIS congress, with its long of exhibits.
was a sort of paradise for the mechanically
minded. Side by side were devices ridiculous
and useful; brainstorms In mechanical form,
day be as common as can openers; weird con-
+raptions that looked as If they had been
thrown together in q moment of absent-mind-
edness and ingenious bits Of apparatus con-
trived to meet long-felt wants.
Exhibitors at the congress represented prac-
ideally every State west of the Mississippi. Each
declared his invention was million dollar idea.
All agreed that inventive genius will lead the
procession toward new day Of prosperity.
One inventor timing his display with re-
markable perspicacity, exposed to the eyes OF
the curious earthquake-proof brick.
This man, Chandler Mott of Tujunga, Calf.
had a wooden model showing his bricks in
cross-section. A wire, nodded in each brick.
had a twisted loop which protruded and slid
into hole ia the next brick, mortar being
firmly pressed about the loop. The wire in
each brick also had a hook which entered q
loop at the top of the brick below it.
When formed into wall, according to the
inventor these bricks would be anchored to-
gether In such a manner to resist all sorts
Of strains and stresses; and the fact that
following the recent California earthquake
number of brick buildings proved unexpectedly
unstable, owing to the fact that poor grade
of mortar had been used to bind them together.

THEN there was C.. r. Miner Of Los Angeles
who had a model for lighter -than-air
aluminium alloy dirigible which he said would
attain speed Of 600 miles an hour and be
capable of flying either at low attitudes or up
IN the stratosphere, where SO many inventors
go for their inspiration.
This dirigible, its inventor explained would
be propelled by the force of air drawn through
the ship by an exhaust blower and expelled
through tunnel at the rear.

modest but extremely thoughtful inventor had

Fearless Testimony

THE inspiring and courageous actions of George Dinli
troff, Ernst Torgler and the other Communist de-
PENDANTS at the Rechstag fire trial. which has been in
progress for almost two months, represents not
only the courage Of these working class leaders, al
though this alone would be outstanding. More - it
represents the heroism of the entire rank and file
of the German Communist Party, the millions of
workers whose spirit and determination to struggle will
not and cannot be broken by Nazi repression and
torture. This widespread heroism has been notably
revealed in recent sessions Of the frameup trial at
Leipzig.
Only two days ago the Nazis brought a group OF
Communist workers to the trial to testify, as they
thought, for the state. These workers, the Nazis
claimed, had renounced their allegiance and loyalty
to the Communist Party while imprisoned In concen-
traton camps. They had signed statements that the
Hitler prosecution planned to against the Commu-
mist Party and its leaders trial They had prepared
a trap-but they overlooked thing-the deathless
spirit of the Communist workers. And so they fell
into their own trap
What occurred?
The state witnesses Jessel and Hieske, former
Communists" faced the gloatng Judge and prosecutor
and caused a sensation in the court with the fol-
lowing words:
Our dispositions were forced! The head of the
police dictated theml We signed under sharpest
threats"
The Nazi court which had been so sure of these
witnesses, was staggered.

OF the brutal and degenerate Storm Troopers of the
threats Of further tortres unless they signed the Naz
dictated statements. And facing the Nazi court still

proved that inquiston break the spirit of the
workers who form the solid backbone of the German
Communist Party,
MASS executions and terror, which the Fascsts are
AVA increasing against the German working class can
not kill the Communist Party.
IT is up TO the workers of America to ask this
question of themselves now:
How can we perform our international duty to the
oppressed and struggling German workers."
An immediate answer Is necessary. And that an
swer in which the workers of every city and town
of the United States, we'll every other country
should take part must be the development without
the slightest delay of widespread action and
protest. drawing in the largest throughout the
country, in the fight for the immediate and uncondi-
tonal release of George Dmitroff Ernst Torgler Bls

Only in this way-only by unflinching class soli-
darity--can We prove determination to save our
