When Quarts Are Not What They Seem

“Ninety per cent of our lloosier merchants are honest,” optimistically declared Frank W. Tucker of Noblesville, chief inspector in the State department of weights and measures. But Tucker has a display of fraudulent weights and measures confiscated during the last few years that shows some of the tricks practiced by the dishonest minority. At the upper left of the above pic-

ture is one of the superannuated peck measures that used to deceive housewives. It was used as a sort of funnel through which vegetables and other commodities were dropped into a paper bag. Mathematically it was correct, Tucker said, but when the merchant sold potatoes with it, another angle developed. Potatoes .are large and there was a lot of room between them, Tucker explained. Passage of the law requiring that potatoes and other vegetables and fruits be weighed, he says, has relegated this measure to the junk pile. Cone Measures Next, to the right, is a quart measure which used to be the bane of the shopper. Many grocers chose this measure because it was graduated for liquids and added a handsome profit when used in measuring cranberries and tile like. The craftiei merchant sometimes inserted a cone in this measure, cutting its capacity in .two, as shown in the picture. In the next two are represented the well-known false bottoms, stilly applied to measures by unscrupulous business getters. Their use subtract# about one-eighth from the normal contents. One of the cleverest devices ever known to weights and measures sleuths is represented in the next article. a "hinged bottom” peck measure. By inserting an apple or a potato under the bottom the contents of the measure were depreciated accordingly. On a house-to-house canvas the fruit peddler would | hold the. hinged bottom up with an | apple. . On the extreme right is an- | other accomplishment of the old time fruit add vegetable man. All he had to do was insert a seven-eighth bushel measure in a full bushel. A prototype of this measure stands at the left of the lower row.

The set to the left was the principal offender of triumvirate, due to the fact that*the graduation was made movable by removing a small brass rivet. The contriving poultry buyer handled the weight to his own satisfaction by a "single twist of the thumb.” The set on the right was "fixed” by placing a dent in the face just over the slot through the spring slides. By creating a little friction the four-pound hen slumped several ounces. Scales Tell Story The dialed scales tell their own story, if the figures can lie read. Superimposed on the platform is a standard five-pound weight. The dial shows five pounds and ten ounces, indicating that the set was used in merchandizing.
