BROADER BASE SET FOR FOOD AND DRUG ACT All Provisions Effective In Revised Law Next June 25 Washington, July 28 KU.R? The food and drug administration, equipped with new powers under the bill signed by President Roosevelt a year ago, has a year to get in training for warfare on uew fronts against dangerous drugs, foods, cosmetics and health appliances. Major sections of the act go into effect June 25, 1939. The new law gives the food and drug administration authority over any drugs which are dangerous to health when used as directed on the label. The same goes for cosmetics, never before under control or regulation by the federal government. Only articles unaffected by the new regulations are toilet soaps and certain hair dyes. Appliances Are Included "Body builders" and "scientific -appliances" will come under the law“n«xt year. They will be subjected to the same standards and req(jjrments set up for drugs. False claims for exercisers, reduces, developers, and so on, will “be -subject to administration astioni During the present year the administration has 60 inspectors for standards of contents for all foods, which will be placed in effect next June. A law of 1923 defined the standard content of butter, and the agriculture department has set up standard gradings for most fruits and vegetables. Os all rejnaining foods, only canned goods have come under the supervision of the food and drug administration. Because of its new duties, the administration expects a larger ap-, ■propriation from Congress for the next fiscal year. The present staff ' of 742 insnectors. scientists administ .a workers will be u able to deal with the new pov ji on the administration’s present budget of $1,750,000. said Dr. Paul -B. Dunbar, assistant chief. “' For the administration of the seven laws under its jurisdiction, the agency has divided the country into three districts, with headquarters at New York. Chicago, and San Fracisco. Besides these offices, there are 16 laboratory and inspection stations scattered over the country. Work In Three Groups The work has been divided into -three main classes: * 1. Factory inspection to see that plants are kept sanitary. The ad--jninistration has 60 inspectors for sea food canning plants alone. 2. The seizure and inspection of -samples of products of all kinds. The samples are purchased by the administration. Its 114 inspectors •of food and drugs collected 63.594 samples in 1937. They were then investigated by the agency's 195 chemists, 12 bacteriologists, 10 pharmacologists, eight micro-ana-lysts. seven medical officers and two veterinarians. Their report determined whether legal action shall be taken against shippers or manufacturers of the products. 3. Port inspection of imported foods and drugs, especially tea and milk. In 1937 more than 35,000 shipments were inspected and 3.334 were refused entry. When •the first Federal tea act was passed in 1883, the United States

Beavers Qualify For Federal Jobs "Hired” In Six States

Washington, July 28 — fU.R> —1 Uncle Sam soon will be using beav- i ers to build dams in Oregon, Wash- | ingtou, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. The paddle-tailed animals have been “employed" on dam construci tion work for two years in Idaho. Each of 200 beavers, according to ] Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ick’.’S, performed S2OO worth of ! labor that cost the government only SB. «t < JSI i The beavers were trapped in areas that could be harmed by the beavers’ instinctive dam-building. The animals were freed in streams that were to be dammed. The bea- , vers immediately began spanning , the streams with dams of wood ’ and mud. These dams, Ickes reported, prevented excessive silting and ero- | sion. The work was so effective — I and inexpensive- the government 1 . . < will extend its activities. Large-sckle operations, Ickes ' said, will reduce from $8 to $5 the I cost of catching and transporting ; each heaver. • Original plans for “employing" I was rapidly becoming a dumping i ground for the world s worst tea. 1 Nowadays, little tea is refused en- : try for falling below quality stand’aids. Two generations of governi ment tea-tasters have made the 1 strict American standards well known all over the world. The legal arm of the adminisI atrtion is a division of the department of justice under Assistant . Attorney General Brian McMahon.

the wild beavers were precipitated several years ago, according to a report submitted by the division of grazing at Boise, Ida. "In the early days of the Northwest," the report said, "beavers were plentiful and their pelts formed one of the greatest sources of revenue for the Indians and early day settlers .... "After the animals Were trapped out, the streams had nothing to check the silt in the spring runoff. Consequently, gullies were washed though the surrounding meadows and drained the water reserve table lower. As a result of this, and also overgrazing on the surrounding hills, the once-pro-duetive meadows became dry, barren and more or less wast land. "A few years ago the idea was conceived to attempt to transplant a few colonies of beavers in one of our most eroded streams. We carried them in for miles by hand to get them started. In a few years they have performed almost a miracle." — o Ex-Leaguer Buys Theater Millsboro.
