WASHING TON
FROM OUR CONGRESSMAN
WILLIAM F. ALLEN

ANTITRUST LAWS A denn-
ite strengthening of the antitrust
laws Of this country will probably
be asked of the new Congrss when
it conVenes.
INSPECTION OF VEGET-
ABLES AND FRUITS--A steady
growth has been shown in ship
ping point inspection of fruits and
vegetables with 45O,O65 carlots in
spected for grade certifcation last
year. Only $4,000 carlots were in
spected in 1928 By 1885 the num-
ber of carlot inspections had reach
ed 3O6,435. More potatoes are GER
titled as to grade than any other
item of produce. Under marketing
/ agreements covering most Of the
important late-producing states in
the potato growing areas from
Michigan to Idaho last year, ship
ping-point inspection was required
for all interstate shipments. In the
Gulf States potato inspection il
also required. Such service makes
it possible for produce buyers on
consumer markets to purchase by
wire, on the basis Of the Govern
ment certificates, shipments of pro
duce at the shipping point, al
though the shipping point may be
several hundred miles distant If
potato states adopt the potato
marketing agreement now under
consideration, further increase in
inspection IS expected this year
CHAOS IN MOTOR CODES
ADDS TO TRAFFIC PERIL All
the States require registration of
motor vehicles and display of lie
ense plates as a condition of driv-
ing on public highways This is
one of the relatively few provisions
in which the motor laws of all
States are uniform But there is
wide disagreement in the registra-
tiOn authorities.
| CONSTRUCTION TWICE THAT
4 OF LAST YEAR Residential con
struction in July nearly doubled
that Of the same month a year
ago. There were q $50 residential
units constructed in July at a cost
of $118,248 as compared with H.
752 units costing $48,795 in July,
1887 From January to July. 1888,
construction consisted of 119,OO7
units, as compared to 1O7 ,29O units
in the same period of 1887.
FAIR WARNING One of the
many provisions that are to aid
drug buyers next year is the one
giving fair warning if a drug is
likely to deteriorate. The Food
and Drug Administration has had
considerable experience with de-
Perforated stocks of drugs which
were of standard strength origin
ally but were packed in containers
or held under conditions promoting
deterioration. 1t is expected that
the new law will lead manufactur-
ers to adopt precautionary mea-
sures, thus actually improving the
average quality of the drug sup
ply.

new stamps and the date of their
issue, for the month Of October, of
the new regular series put out by

EXTEND PROTECTION
Now that it has been proved that
the mysterious Mrs. Robinson"
was Mrs. Rubens, an American
citizen, born near Philadelphia,
the American Government will
extend to her the protection ac-
corded any American citizen who
becomes involved in difficulties
abroad.
The Soviet government will be
reminded that one of the principal
bases for recognition of Soviet Rus
sia by the United States in 1888
was a guarantee that upon the
arrest or detention Of any Ameri'
can citizen by Soviet authorities,
American consular agents would
be notified within "a hours.
If the Soviet Union fails to com
ply with this guarantee it will put
severe strain on diplomatic re-
lations between the two countries.
