SHALL VETERINARIANS
Do CATTLE INSPECTION?
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION NOT
AGREED
Discuss Question Whether Doctors or
Laymen Can Detect Diseased
Animals More Eff
GENTLY

Shall veterinary surgeons exclusively
be eligible as meat and amman siausl-
ter inspectors?
Chairman John r. Haynes and DR..
d. w. Fdelman of the civil service
commission and argued the question
for half an hour at yesterdays session
of that body.
Examinations are to be held at once
for these positions and the questloh
of preparing the examination tests pro-
voked the discussion.
DR.. HAYNES held to the idea that the
most rigid examination should be helu
and of such a character that only
veterinary could answer the quizzes.
I'VE want men examining cattle be-
fore slaughter who can detect lumpy
law. tell by sound whether pneumonia
or tuberculosis exists in the COW, ana
so on" said ne.
"There are doctors and Doctors re-
marked DIR. Edelman. In slaughterfng
for Jewish uses, for instance, than
which there is no stricter inspection
of meat a large per cent of the cattle
are rejected and the inspectors are not
veterinarians.
~ believe that careful laymen can
detect the symptoms of disease in cat
tie. Any layman can take the tenn
perature of teh animals TO be slaugh-
tered"
The federal examinations for inspec-
torships were studied and 1t was finally
decided that examination papers be
first submitted to the board. They Will
deal largely with symptoms of disease
in cattle which make them unsuitable
for human consumption as food.

Those Curious Twins
Then there are the twins. Emmy
Lou and Teddy; Emmy Lou, the senti-
mental, and Teddy, q slangy young

Genevieve and Erminie de Lacour of
San Diego, twin daughters of the

are well played, too. Miss Jessie Nor

of a "freshie," and Miss Dorothy Ber-
nard is wholly charming as the captain
of the basketball team though scarcely
realizing the part physically.
The masculine roles are of minor I'M

extremely bashful lover; Lewis stone is
effective, as he always is, in the part OF
