ing before the Secretary or his repre- 
sentative will be given to the party 
from whom the sample was obtained 
and to others interested, who may 
appear personally or by attorney and 
may submit oral or written evidence. 
If it still appeals that the act has 
been violated, the proper United 
States attorney ivill be informed of 
the facts. Provision is made for state 
officials to co-operate in reporting vio- 
lations to the Secretary of Agricul- 
ture. The latter will ordinarily make 
his requests for prosecutions to the 
Attorney General, but in special cases 
directly to the proper United States 
attorney. After judgment has been 
rendered by a court, the judgment 
will be published by the Secretary of 
Agriculture within 30 days. 
Paris green is considered adulter- 
ated if it does not contain at least 50 
per cent of arsenic oxide; on the 
other hand, it must not contain ar- 
senic in water-soluble forms equiva- 
lent to more than 3>4 per cent of ar- 
senious oxide; and no substance may 
be mixed with it so as to lower its 
strength. Lead arsenate is counted 
adulterated if it contains more than 
50 per cent of water, or if its total ar- 
senic is equivalent to less than 
per cent of arsenic oxide, or if it con- 
tains arsenic in water-soluble forms 
equivalent to more than .75 of a per 
cent of arsenic oxide, or if any sub- 
stance is mixed with it so as to lower 
its strength. If lead arsenate con- 
tains more than 50 per cent of water 
it must be labeled “lead arsenate and 
water,” and the extra percenta.ge of 
water must be plainly stated. Any 
other insecticide or fungicide is con- 
sidered adulterated if its strength or 
purity fall below the standard under 
which it is sold, or if any substance 
has been wholly or partially substi- 
tuted for it, or if any valuable in- 
gredient has been even partially re- 
moved, or if it is intended to be used 
on vegetation and is injurious to veg- 
etation. If the designation of an ar- 
ticle reports the presence in it of a 
certain substance, that substance must 
be present in the customary amount. 
Any insecticide or fungicide is mis- 
branded if the label bear any state- 
ment, design, or device that is false 
or misleading in any particular, either 
as to the character of the article or as 
to the place of manufacture. .And the 
term “label” is defined so as to in- 
clude any circulars, etc., that are 
packed with the article or referred to 
either on the label or on the circulars 
accompanying the article. If the con- 
tents are stated in terms of weight 
or measure, they must be correctly 
stated. If an insecticide or fungicide 
(other than Paris green or lead ar- 
senate) contains arsenic in any form, 
the total amount of arsenic and the 
amount of water-soluble arsenic must 
each be stated on the label. The 
amount of inert substances (often 
called “filler”) must also be stated on 
the label. 
If the name of the manufacturer is 
given on the label, it must be the act- 
ual manufacturer; if the name given is 
net that of the actual manufacturer, 
the phrase "packed for ....,” "distrib- 
uted by ....,” or some equivalent 
[)hrase, must be used with the name. 
The dealer may relieve himself of 
responsibility by securing from the 
wholesaler or from the manufacturer 
a .guaranty that the article is not 
"adulterated or misbranded within 
the meaning of the Insecticide Act 
of 1910.” This places the responsi- 
bility upon the guarantor. The 
wholesaler or manufacturer may file 
with the Secretary of Agriculture a 
general guaranty covering every pack- 
age of a particular kind of article. The 
guaranty will receive a serial num- 
ber; this number is to appear on every 
package of goods sold under that 
.guaranty, together with the words 
“Guaranteed by (name of guarantor) 
under the Insecticide Act of 1910.” 
SCULPTURED FOUNTAINS AS PARK MEMORIALS 
We have before illustrated in these pages many specimens 
of handsome sculptured public fountains, and pointed out 
the immense superiority of this form of park adornment, 
A fountain is, from many points of view, to be preferred 
to the average form of portrait or equestrian statue that is 
usually thought of when the word "memorial” is mentioned. 
The sculptured fountain may have all the richness of design 
of relief decoration added to the dignity of good architec- 
ture; or the monumental quality of good statuary and still 
be made to harmonize with its surroundings, serve the peo- 
ple by its function as a part of the water supply and attract 
them by its beauty as' a work of art. 
The accompanying picture shows an interesting and orig- 
inal model for a sculptured fountain. It was designed by 
Miss E. Louise Guernsey, of Decatur, 111., and was exe- 
cuted by her class in modeling at James Milliken Univer- 
sity in that city. The figure has been named “Whence- 
Whither,” and is intended to symbolize the child just 
developing into boyhood, and looking out into the world. 
It is an interesting conception and has been carried out 
with good sculptural feeling. Mechanically it has been 
designed to serve both man and beast. The water is to 
trickle through the openings at the top and down the 
slab behind the hands of the figure. The work is a com- 
panion piece to another fountain shown by Miss Guernsey 
at one of the Chicago Art Institute exhibits. It repre- 
sented a little girl standing against a tablet somewhat 
like the one in this design and holding in her hands a 
large basin. This has been previously illustrated in these 
pages) and was awarded a prize at a Chicago exhibit.
