Washington NEW FOOD DAW. 1 INCLUDES DRUGS. REGULATES COSMETICS. BIG IMPROVEMENT. (Huge & Sim*, Washington Cam*-] pondeaL) With the Department of Agricul-J ture, as its name implies, drth with! the problems of the nation's, farmers, J it also handles other matters, such I as highway grants tb the states, and! enforcement of the food and drug I law. The recent passage of a Food Drag! and Cosmetic Act, which has been I signed by the President, is charac-1 terised by Secretary of Agriculture I Henry A. Wallace as a great step! forward in the protection of thel American public. "It broadens the! scope of the old law and, in many r#-| spacts, reinforces those provisions I which have stood the teat of time," I says Secretary Wallace. "It wfll j benefit also the honest manufacturers I who are entitled to governmental pro-1 taction against unethical competitors.! "The Act will stand as a legislative I monument to the memory of the late! Senator Royal S. Copeland of New! York, who fought for a really effee-1 tive measure throughout the five-year I struggle over revision of the Act of! 1906. Credit must also go to many! other members of Congress, to con-1 sumer groups, and to those enlighten- J e<f.trade organizations which had an! interest in the welfare of the con-1 sumer. "Because of the nve-year su-ugsic to get the new bfll through Congress, many persons are confused as to its merits,1* the Secretary said, "TUb is not surprising," he added, "as there hare been many versions of the bifl, some of which contained provisions wholly unsatisfactory. While the bill is not perfect, the Conference Com mittee corrected the principal points of difference in such a fashion that I wholeheartedly recommend that the President sign-the bill." The new act goes much farther than the old law in that it contains positive requirements for informative labeling in the interest of consumers in addition to the negative prohibi tions against mislabeling contained in the old statute. The new act ampli fies and strengthens the provisions designed to safeguard the public health and prevent deception, and ex tends the scope of the law to include cosmetics, therapeutic devices, and certain drugs that now escape regu lation. The general provisions of the new law become effective one year from the date of its signature by the Presi dent. Certain provisions, however, beeome effective immediately. These include the prohibition against the introduction of new drags-bfefore they have been tested; the prohibition against drugs which are dangerous to the consumer when used as pre scribed on the label; the prohibition, against cosmetics which may be in jurious to users. Important reapecti in which the measure cliff era from the present law are: (1) The new law has jurisdiction over all cosmetics except toilet soape. Tins means that the American public will be protected against dangerow cosmetics such as eyelash dyea that have been known to cause Tilimfnnas J2) Brings therapeutic devices oa control.

Dees Surprising Stack Market Rise! Mesa Business Boom and Pros-} parity? Business, financial and industrial j leaders are stQI at a loss to explain! the surprising and astonishing up-1 surge of the stock market in the last! weeks of June. No adequate explana-1 tion is at hisad for the sudden out-j burst of energy on the stock exchange,! which began on June 20th and in rive I trading days recovered all losses sus-l tained in the past three months. An] idea of the magnitude of the change | is seen when one realises that previ-1 ous days averaged about 386,000 shares, but when the upward swing | started, the daily average exceeded] 1,000,000 shares. Baying Few. The baying fever spread so rapidly that the fourth day of the rise saw 2,400,000 shares change hands. After the week-end, there was a failure of prices to run into substantial sell off8, and the baying stampede pushed the sale of shares almost to 2,700,000 on one day in the second week of the advance. Whether it proves permanent or not, the boom made history. Won Strike historians have to go badt five and Six'years to find ?n-equival ent market rise. The week's tod was unequalled in any week since July, 1932r-and was- about equal to that of April, 1983, when, after the banking moratoriums, the gold devaluation bull markets declined. The vigorous rise inspired confidence in business men, exerting a powerful peyehologi eal effect Will Street Cheered.
