$1,000 Liquor Bottles
Found Short Measure

Nearly $4,000 bottles of assorted
liquors in Washington stores now
have been found to contain short
measure, j. Thomas Kennedy, su-
perintendent of weights, measures
and markets, announced today.
His inspectors, accompanied by
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
inspectors, made a survey of a big
warehouse here today and found
324 fifths Of a prominent brand of
liquor to be short measure, and or
dered the wholesaler to send it back
to the manufacturer.
Only the stores in the downtown
section have been visited so far by
the inspectors, Mr.. Kennedy said.
He expects to find more shortages
next week in outlying sections be-
cause goods do not move as fast
from the shelves in these stores and
there Is a greater chance of evapo-
He said he believed most of the
short measure found in bottles was
due to evaporation caused by the
use of an inferior quality of caps
and corks.
In addition to the short measure,
Mr.. Kennedy said evaporation also
has caused a loss in the proof of the
liquors.
