without stamping the not weight on tho
paoknge are simply laying up trouble
f o r themselves."' This is a statement
made by James W, Helme. state dairy
and food eontmiasioner. in a letter sent
to the 8t. Joseph-Michigan Fruit Exc h a n g e "Vou c a n assure the g r a p e
growers of your section (hat tho federal
law regarding the net weight of graiies
to lx- stamped on the liasket will surely
Is) enforced this coming f a l l , " continues
tho letter.
l i e stated f u r t h e r t h a t a few days ago
he li:i(l an Interview w i t h Mr. Tolmun,
chief federal inspector of tho central
district with h e a d q u a r t e r s In Chicago,
and that oflii lal informed him in no oncertain term* t h a t if grajies were ship
ped into (Chicago w i t h o u t the not weight
u|ion them their sale would be stopped
wmlsbronded.
" F o r this reason your association
-hould insist on uslni; labels or g e t t i n g
your growers to s t a m p on the n e t
weight. If any fellow neglects it a n d
geta into trouble in Chicago, you will
have the lauvh on t h e m , " writes Mr.
Helme,
' T n d n r tho rules of 00 operation
adopted lielween the state and f e d e r a l
departmentB everyone of our inspectors,
by virtue of his oftlce, is also a federal
inspector. If you think wise, we c a n
send one down there a n d get the names
of such shlpiiers a s aro shipping unlabeled grapes. We can a t once wire t h e
federal inspectors a t Chicago and they
will discover t h a t the Daigneuu bill Is
of little ^aluo to t h e m . "
Commissioner Holme's comment on
the passage of t h e Daigneuu bill repealing the provision of the slate law requiring the net weight marking of f r u i t
Is as follows:
"One criticism I have to make a p d
t h a t is that g r a p e growers" asmciations
must undenitand that if they aro to g e t
anywhere in legislation they must m a k e
their inlluencu felt in no uncertain way.
In this case IS jier cent of the g r a p e
growers were opiswed to the Daigneuu
bill but the other !'> |ier rent were more
active and put it across. Even a f t e r t h e
veto thoy still bad a fair chanco to prevent tho legislation if they did not
want it, b u t thoy did nothing. T h i s
wilt prulubly w a k e them u p so t h a t in
the f u t u r e Ihey will have some iofioence
"You are evidently mistaken in thinking thai tho m a r k i n g of tho not w e i g h t ,
on packages woe a regulation of this department, It w a s rmt.. T w o yeara ago
tho legislature, at my suggestion, passed
a law exactly liko the national l a w ,
which had j u s t then passed congress,
requiring all closed packages containing food of a n y description to he marked
w i t h the not weight of its contente.
T h e Daigncau bill merely re e n a c t e d
this law but at the end placed a sentence e x e m p t i n g f r u i t s and vegotubles
from t h j operation of the l a w . "

large side pockets. The coal was haltlengdi. wKh a shaped basque and a

VEILS AS WORN IN PARIS
means self-possession and a aeasa of
beauty. A Frenchwoman rarely turns
up her veil unless K bo one of (he
very heavy mourning oneo; ohe take*
l( off. knowing thai a veil (urned up
leavco an ugly line eKber across (he
brow or on (he nose. Neither doe*
*he twist It into a tunny little knot
under her chin, because she is conodouo thai It looks untidy and lo bad
for the veil. She adjuolo It on ber
hat oo that It can be quickly and eaolly taken off. and oho plno It over her
hair precisely *o lhat she knows
where to flnd t h e pins when the U k l n g
off moment arrives. K sounds such a
little thing and Is. In fact, a trifle light
as air. but il Is one of the detail* l h a t
may Ju*t as well be mastered.
Some of the veils now a r e of i b e
finest Uce, very fllmy and becoming;
others are in almost Invisible net, and
a«tew women wear the strongly patterned veil. So much depends upon
which kind ot a veil suits a woman
best. Some women lose all disdncdon In a heavy veil; .nhers ?eem (ogain (heir dlsdncdon from IL A - u f e
veil is (he line meshed one In blnck,

A nautical person described these young women as "neat
