Prof. Stimson Says State Hasn't Enough Weight and Measure Inspectors
FIND MANY INACCURACIES
The Weight of Container is Often Counted to Merchants' Advantage-Confuse Other Standards,
But four men are inspecting the food and testing the scales and measures of the state of Kansas. These men can in no possible way cover the territory assigned to them. As a result, they must report the laws short lengths and the laws enacted in 1900 regarding weights and measures are of little practical value.
Such is the information given out today, by the deputy state sealer, Evan Johnson, of the state weights and means casting laboratory at the University.
INACCURACIES ARE FREQUENT.
"These poor conditions are in no way the fault of the men in the field," continued Professor Stimson, "but they were the result of an employer by the state for that purpose."
In one of the largest business houses in Pittsburgh, but one accurate scales was found. Four other places were visited and the scaled to scale were found to be inaccurate.
CONTAINERS BOOST WEIGHT.
"This," said the Professor, "is only a sample of what is found in almost every city and town of the state."
The most frequent shortages are found in foods that are bought by the pound, such as sugar, flour, prunes, potatoes, butter and lard. The shortage in butter is generally due to its being weighed in wooden dishes, which weigh anywhere from half an ounce to an ounce.
MEASURES OFTEN CONFUSED.
These are some of the most common violations that are especially forbidden by the law.
Sugar is weighed in heavy blue paper bags which take off a large percentage. Potatoes are sold by measure instead of weight. Lard, when not frozen, can be used on dishes, is sold in tin buckets that weigh from eight ounces to a pound.
The law states what shall be measured and the kind of measures to be used.
The measures used by the merchants are often too small. There is a constant confusion of the dry and liquid measure that always works to the merchants benefit. Oil oils used by tanks in supply plants are very short on every gallons. Besides these, old and cheap measures are found in constant use.
For you easter greeting why send a piece of pasteboard. Send a box of chocolates, they touch the heart. Wiedemann's—Adv.
"This state of affairs will not be bettered until more inspectors are sent out, or until every town provides its own inspector as is suggested in the statement," concluded Professor Stimson.

He Was She—She Was He By Ben L. McKinlry.
Each player must be masked. A large crowd turned out to see the game. The boys thought the girls would be easy. Although playing under girls rules was somewhat awkward for the boys, they played well, but not nearly so well as the girls. When the first half was over, all players discarded their masks. The so called "girls" turned out to be the members of the boys first team. The final score was 30 to 21 in favor of the "girls."

THREE WEEKS BEHIND TIME
But They Spirng up Over Night When
Winter Goes to Sleep On
the Job
The spring flowers of the campus, whose blooms have been delayed for three weeks on account of the unusual cold weather, are fairly bursting with spring energy and will appear in the fall. In a moment now that the snow has disappeared.
The dog's-tooth violet, which has been due since March 10, will be the first to show its face. This flower belongs to the lily family and is not a violet. It gets its name from the white flower, open and shows the shining white seeds, which give it the appearance of a dog's mouth, open and with bared teeth.
TREES ARE ALSO TARDY.
The maples ordinarily in bloom in February are now only budding, while the red-bud tree, of which there is a few year-round habit, will bloom in about three weeks Hall, will bloom in about three weeks
One of the most beautiful of the flowers on the hill, the yellow-star grass, which is a distant cousin of the amaryllis, will appear shortly after the dog's-tooth violet. Then students will notice the appearance of the common violet, of which there are several species; the common blue crow's foot violet, of which are many as the smooth and hairy-stemmed yellow violet. The most beautiful of all violets, the bird's-foot violet, as yet will not thrive on the hill. This flourishes best in Moraine deposits, such as are found on Blue Mountain.
The last of the campus flowers to appear and probably the most noted and conspicuous, are the lilies, which form an attractive hedge along the east edge of the campus. They will be in evidence the latter part of May.
WILL BE A GARDEN-LIKE CAMPUS.
After the violet the campus will be flooded with flowers—the anemone, the purple and yellow-blossomed members of pea family and the blue-eyed grass.
It is time now for the blooming of the Carolina shumac and hazel-nuts, and as all of the trees are waiting for the slightest chance to bloom, the elms box-adlers, oaks, walnuts, hickories, will begin to bloom in quick succession.
