Bridgeport, July 10,—Henry J. Top- ping of Greenwich had a slight lead over his club-mate, Hamilton K. Kerr Wwhen' the first half of the thirty-six hole championship matech of the an- nuval tournament of the Connecticut CGolf assoclation for the state title was completed shortly after noon at the Brooklawn Country club | today. He led his opponerit by one up and as & result entéred the final 18-hole play | ihis afternoon a favorite for the state | hcenors. A large gallery followed the players, and applauded the brilliant shots which occasionally marked the other- wise uninteresting maccn. | Kerr was three up at the '‘end of; the fifth hole, having won the flm,, third and fourth, 'The players were, even up at the finish of, ninth, Topping winning the last holes in a row. At the tenth hole he bg- came one. down, his drive going into the brook. / The match again became even when Topping holed out in three, to his'! opponent’s four at the twelfth hole. Topping lost the fifteenth hole when | hig ball hit the bunker and dropped ‘iato the trap. The short sixteenth was halved but a wonderful drive and an approach that landed him on the green in two, and a twenty-five foot putt gave him a three to Kerr's four at the 17th hole and again they were cven. Kerr’s tee shot sliced into the 10ugh and his approach was another slice to the right of the home green. His third shot gave him a seven foot putt for a half in 'four.. But he missed and Topping took the hole one . ROME GERMAN OBJECTIVE. Zeppelin Dirigibles Transported to Austrian Coast of Adriatic.

London, July 10, 10:20 a. m.—Sub- scriptions ranging from $500, up- wards to the greatest war loan in the history ef the world close automati- cally at the Bank of England at one o’clock today, except for applications posted up to midnight. Government autherities adhere strictly to the iron rule to refuse¢ information regarding the amopunt applied for, but in the opinion of the city the response must ‘have ' beén gratifying. Very large subscriptions are known to have been received from insurance companies, banks and commercial houses ‘in the colonies, as well as in Great Britain. Lombard Street’s con- tribution, it is believed, will be $1,000,000,000. Stock brokers and !'surburban and provincial bankers have reported an increasing number of applications in the last few days, + 80 that the total amount of new mon- | ey subscribed, is estimated at $3,000,- ! 000,000 which, with the conversion of econsols and the old war loan, is expected to bring the aggregate | amount asked. Therefore, between $4,500,000,000, and $5,000,000,000 { have 'been.lent to the government in the course of three weeks. \ -~ PRost offices 'all over the country { will. continue 'to sell small amounts | up to $25 to swell this total. Some disturbances, naturally, will arise in the money market because of , the large amount of money temporar- ily temoved from circulation, but it is understood arrangements have been made by the government to release such™ funds. for market purposes at the earliest possible moment. i Subsgriptions to the war loan from the United States are believed to be relatively small. s m&mz«~ P G'Itilhe Bluthmg Hous EfifilESS NOODLES; GOLORED MACARONI Manniacturers Inelined to De- fraud Housewives Waghington, D. C., July 10.—Re- cent actlvity on the part of certain | noodle and macaroni manufacturerg in selling noodles artificially colored | yellow as “egg noodles” when they contain little or no egg, has led the federal and state food officials to seek means of stopping this fradu- lent traffic. 'It is the custom in tak. ing up matters of this kind to affora an opportunity for a hearing to ail manufacturers and other interested parties in order to permit them to present reasons for or against trade Accordingly, the joint committee = on the definitions and Standards, representing the associa- Food and Drug officials, the association of Of- ficial Agricultural chemists, and the U. S. department of agricXture, /re- cently held a hearing in order tu secure all possible information in re. gard to the manufacture of noodles, | macaroni, and similar alimentary pastés. To the average perso it would seem an easy matter to answer such questions as “What are noodles?” ar, “What are egg noodles?” or, “What is macaroni?” The question, how- ever, is not so easy to answer if put in ‘this way. “How much egg must a manufacturer add to his noodles before he is legallly entitled -to la- ble his product ‘egg noodles’?” Ths question of amount might be’ stated this way: “If the manufacturer uses just a trifling amount, of egg, can the product legally be labeled ‘egx noodles’ ?” Evidence of Fraud. It was brought out at the hearing that fraudulent practices have orept into the manufacture of noodles, mac- aroni, and spaghetti; which make it difficult for reputable manufacturers unadultérated ‘goods to meet . the competition of the cheapened product, ‘whereby the consumer receive an arti- cle that contains foreign coloring mat- ter but much less nutritive substance than the genuine noodles or macaroni he expects to receive. Good egg noodles should contain a substantial amount of egg, but articles labeled “‘egg noodles” which contain only a trace of egg and in some instance none at all have been put on the market. The eggless ‘‘egg noodles,” for ex- ample, are artificially colored yellow by means of a dye, so that to the un- initiated they look exactly like the noodles that contain real egg. Some manufacturers hayve been unable to see why they should add eggs at from thirty to fifty cents per dozen when the same characteristic yellow can be obtanied by the addition of a.dye at a cost that is comparatively negligible. ‘Where the output of a factory is large, the illegitimate profits made by sub- stituting yellow dye for eggs may be very great. How Much Egg in a Noodle? If noodles were sold merely for ornaments it might make little differ- | ence to the purchaser whether the yellow came from an egg or from a dye, but when considered as food, whether or not they contain any eggs or enough egg to be of value as food, is important. For it is possible to make yellow noodles without any eggs at all and also to spread one egg over a great many noodles and add enough dye to give an attractive color. It was important, therefore, to find whether a mere $uspicion of egg em- ployed in an attempt to escape the law on a technicality would be con- sidered in the trade justification for calling the product “egg noodles.” =~ Macaroni Dyed To Deceive. Dye has been used also for thé purpose of deception in the manufac- ture of macaroni. The best grade of macaroni is made from the semolina of Durum wheat. This semolina 1s rich in gluten which consists of the nitrogenous- substances of the grain, and is high in food value. This wheat has its own characteristic yel- low color, which is rightly associated in the minds of purchasers with the highest grade products. The yellow color, however, can like that of the egg, be accurately reproduced by use aof certain dyes. It has become the practice for certain manufacturers to make macaroni from grades of flour which are much less expensive than those from which macaroni is cus- tomarily made. This cheap substi- tute is artificially colored, by the ad- dition of a dye, to look so nearly like the high grade, genuine Durum semo- lina that the ordinary purchaser is completely deceived. Artificial coloring matter in noodles and macaroni serves no useful purpose whatever. It is added solely for the purpase of deception. Even a harm- less dye adds nothing in the way of taste or nourishment. An easy way to determine whether macaroni and noodles have been artificially colored is to examine the water in which they have been cooked; if they have been artificially colored with soluble dyes the water will be yellow. This, however, is not an infallible test, as some of the yellow dyes employed do not dissolve or color water. Macaroni Prices For Water. There have long been regulations about how much water should be in butter. It is possible to mix in more water than is natural with the result that the buyer pays butter-fat prices for a water-tap product. The same excessive dilution of macaroni and noodle is possible. For this reason, information also was sought at the hearing in regard to the legitimate mofsture content of macaroni and noodles and the relation of the mois- ture content to the statement on the packgages of weight. The amount oti moisture that should be permitted has an important bearing on the appli- cation of the net weight amendment of the focd and drugs act to such products.

The investi- gations made by the department of agriculture have shown that there is a very great difference in the amount of moisture in macaroni, noodles, and | similar alimentary pastes now on the market. Water added amount and sold at the price of ma- cargni is even more profitable than dyed dough at the price of egg moods les. Those who appeared at the hearing before the committee on definitions and standards agreed that in order to put competition within the industry on a falr basis, and to guard the in- terests of the consumers, definitions should be adopted that would abso- lutely prohibit the use of artificial coloring, fix a minimum egg require- ment for articles sold as egg prod- nucts, and also define the amount of moisture that may be permitted in the products. What these limitations and requirements shall be is now being considered by the committee on def- initions and standards.
