ADVERTISING TO FIGURE IN NEW PUREFOOD BILL Measure Also Seeks Check on False Claims in Broadcasts. Thi* Is the sixth and concludinc article of a series on the Copeland Pure Food and Drue bill. BJJ Science Service WASHINGTON, Dec. 18—One ol the most hotly contested points along the whole battle line over the new pure food and drug bill to be presented before the coming congress will be the matter of advertising. Advertising does not figure in the present food and drug law, because in 1906, when it was enacted, advertising was not such a force in national buying and selling as it is now. The present law merely prohibits untruth in labelling, so that an unscrupulous manufacturer or dealer can tell all the lies he thinks will bring him a profit so long as he does not print any of them on the package. The new law strikes directly at this weakness, and it .takes in plenty of territory while it is at it. An advertisement of a food, drug or cosmetic shall be deemed to be false, it states, “if in any particular it is untrue, or by ambiguity or inference creates a misleading impression regarding such food, drug or cosmetic.’* It is that latter clause, the ambiguity or inference one, that is raising a particular howl from the ranks of a certain part of the proprietary medicine trade. Trying to Spread Panic Manufacturers of products which the present law can not prove to be fraudulently presented are expert in oblique statements, that create impressions without making straight assertions, and they are rightly afraid of what may happen to them if they are suddenly confronted with the necessity to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Some of their agents have tried to spread their panic to the newspapers and magazines by the claim that editors can be fined and jailed for printing false or misleading advertising, of whose nature they could of course hardly be expected to be completely informed. The sponsors of the Copeland bill disclaim any intention to hold either newspapers or advertising agencies responsible for the factual content of the advertising they print or prepare for printing and they declare their intention to exclude them specifically from such responsibility. But, by the same token, they do intend to “crack down” on the Ananias fringe among food, drug and cosmetic manufacturers, whose irresponsible claims work harm alike to advertising media, legitimate businesses and the long-suffering consuming public. Radio's the Problem One new and important advertising medium will doubtless show' the effects of this new demand for accuracy in advertising to a much greater extent than newspapers and magazines. That the radio. After all, editors have been in the game long enough to know an advertising Ethiopian in the woodpile w'hen they see one, and most of them want nothing to do w r ith advertising that will defraud or injure their subscribers. But radio is a younger business and apparently either less worldlywise or less discriminating than new'spapering. for the stuff that gets into some radio advertising “spiels” make newspaper men (and the general public, too) hold their noses. It will be most interesting to watch the revision of radio “plugging” if and when the Copeland bill is enacted into law TRACK ELEVATION TO BE TOPIC OF MEETING Butler-Fairview Civic Group to Convene Tomorrow. Track elevation problems will be discussed at the regular monthly meeting of the Butler-Fairview Civic Association at the Fairview Presbyterian church tomorrow' night at 8.

lately. So did a lot of sjmpathetic kibitzers Suddenly, the front door of the house in front of which the wreck lay, was flung open. An indignant and befuddled householder hurried forth as fast as his rebellious legs would let him. “Get away from here, get away, I don’t want you around here,” he shouted vehemently. The group, alarmed at his menacing tones.'Vnelted away—all except the owner of the wreckage. “Get away, get away—get along, little doggie, git along,” continued the drunk. Enraptured by this fascinating idea, he retraced his faltering steps into the house. “I'm haadin’ for the last roundup—da di, da da, da di,” he caroled merrily with barbershop chord effects. He was. His wife was waiting just inside the door for him.
