How Much In the Pack age? The fedeia.l Department o( Agri culture is engaged in a determine.! campaign to enforce tho net-weight amendment to the Food and Drugs Art us it applies to fruits and vege tables. This amendment provides, that the actual contents shall be plainly in dicated on' packages containing food or drugs. Hitherto thero seems to have been considerable disregard of it with respect to fresh fruits and vegetables, though it nppliea to them no less than other food-stuffs, tihip pnrs who fail to observe the law aro liable to prosecution in the federi'l courtH. This measure, of course, can only be enforced in connection with goods ohiing under tho designation of "in- commercc," tlmt is, goods Great Adventure Definite ly Accomplished. The Hcnplniic race from America to Europe has been distinctly a national enterprise. The large measure of suc cess attending it has been due to the fact that the plans were worked out by experts and elaborate facilities were provided by the navy depart ment, and that, in short, the epurhiil ! tcrstuto timierini.mg wus hacked hy the match- shipped- over state lines.

It is evident that, in order oA Easiness War Memor ial. 0 e The Wcj.tinghouse Electric Com1 pany his established four scholarships as a commeaiorartou of the.part jday ed by its enudoyes'durilfg the war. j It is not in uy sense a" memorial for those fought and died, but a recog nition by the company of the loyal service ef till its employee both in the shop and on the fiehl of battle. Two of the scholarships arc to bo open to employes of two .years' leng!!i of service who aro under '23 years ef age. The other two are to be limited to sons of employes who have served the company for at least five years The selection in each case is 0 be decided by competitive examination to be conducted by the company's edu cational department. Scholarships will cni-.ble the suc cessful candidates to pursue u four year technical course in any schoo! or college they may prefer, with the ap proval of the committee. They may study any. branch of engineering fhtry choose, and in each case the student's completion of his course depends on his making good every year in accord ance witli the standards of the college selected.

It sheds mi inter esting light on the spirit and method of some of the great business con cerns of our couiiiiy in dealing with their employes. o 0 " rvr - .
