or picked tthe herring. not the
admirer) Traffic and Ordinance
Judge Thomas F Maher has ruled
that henceforth herring must be
sold in Detroit by the pound and
not by the herring.
The ruling was made in the case
Of the People of the City Of Detroit
VS.. Morris Nowoninski.
1t seems that for some years
there has been a little known To-
cal ordinance that all such COM
modities as herring must be sold
by the pound and not by the piece.
Purpose of the law, it was ex-
planned, was TO prevent the un-
scrupulous dealer from cheating
the public by selling a small. I'M
derdeveloped herring for as much
as an honest competitor was get
ting for a big. healthy herring.
NOT IN STOCK SIZES
However. it was testified during
the People VS.. Nowoninski, almost
all herring dealers find it far
easier to sell their product by the
piece than by the pound because
herring seldom come in stock sizes
like one pound. two-pound and
five-pound herrings.

Weigh That Herring!
Sell Ii by the Pound, Court Rules, and Dealers Face
Loss of Time in Trying to Figure the Price

27-32nds of a pound. and with
herring at 10 cents it takes a man
half morning TO figure out what
the customer owes. The customer
in the meantime has switched "a
hamburger. which is easy 10 meas
ure. and the bottom drops out OF
the herring market.
All this was explained before
Judge Maher when the test case
came up. A weights and measures
bureau inspector testified Nowo-
ninski had sold herring by the
piece in his market at 1922 Michi-
gan venue. Nowoninski adj
mitted it.
ALWAYS HAS, TOO
I'VE have always sold herring
thus" said Nowoninski. "If we
do not, we have to slice the her
ring In order to make 1t come
out an even pound. This Is diff
cult" ny w I'M
THE law Is the law" ruled
Judge Maher. THE ordinance
says you must sell II by the
pound"
Every WELL" sighed Nowonin-
ski. IL will obey"
"In that case" said the Judge
magnanimously. I will suspend
sentence"

Lend -lease Bill
For Philippines
Wins First Test
By ARTHUR HACHTEN

WASHING TON, Feb. IS
Swift-moving events in the Orient
spurred the House naval affairs
committee into approval of a
Junior lend-lease" bill for the
Philippine Islands and a measure
to authorize S186, 900 for forti-
fications at distant Guam, Samoa
and other strategic Pacific sites.
Admiral Harold r. Stark, chief
of naval operations-highest rank
ing officer of the navy-was called
by the House naval affairs COM
mittee to appear before it today

the navy's proposals.
Meanwhile, a top-ranking gov

Great Britain wants permission TO
overhaul and outfit five to 10 de-
stroyers monthly in American
ports = permission Presid e n

becomes law.
220 BRITISH DESTROYERS
Britain is reported to have 220
destroyers in service. and they
must be put in dock at least once
every Is months for complete
overhauls. While Britain has 81
yards capable of overhauling de-
stroyers, they are either working
at capacity on new ships or have
been damaged in raids and the
destroyer repair problem has be-
come a "bottleneck.
Belief prevailed in naval circles
that IN view OF opposition of Secre-
tary Knox to any depletion in the
United States destroyer force. en-
visaged by Wendell L. Wilkes
proposal TO release five or 10 de-
stroyers a month TO Britain. that
the alternative would be opening
American ship yards TO repair
British destroyers.
The Junior lease-lend bill' ap-
proved by the House naval COM
mittee would authorize the navy
TO lease, lend or sell TO the Philip
pines naval equipment. such as
torpedoes. Ships are not included.
The navy department also would
be authorized 10 make repairs on
obsolete materials for the Philip
pines. but the islands government
would have 20 paw all costs.
