The Aberdeen-Angus breed of cat
tie successfully blazed the way IN
showing what may be accomplished
for a distinctive beef breed when
shorn of their horns. AS between the
two DEGREES to saw them off" or
"breed them off" there can be but
one opinion as to which is the better
way. Breeding the horns off must
prevail universally in the course OF
time.
The Polled Durham breed OF cattle
is an off-shoot from the Shorthorn

which will result in an earlier move
ment to the Eastern markets. The
of the breeding operations
in the West will have a marked effect
on the feeding business in the East.
Fewer thin offerings will be available
and as the native farm sheep are not
fit for feeding purposes because OF
their being infested with worms, win
ter feeding in the East will be on a
much smaller scale.

L. S. Vader of Hagerman marketed
at Chicago one day recently a big
string of sheep and lambs, securing
$675 for the lambs, SIS to $3.50 for
the yearlings, and $3.50 to $4.75 for
the ewes and wethers mixed. "The
day of the big bands of sheep in the
West is fast drawing to close" re-
marked Mr.. Vader. "The great influx
of settlers, the enhancement of land
values and the forest reserve policies
of the government being among the
principal factors that are sounding the

Hitchcock In
New Role
FAMOUS COMEDIAN GOES ON
TRIAL ON CHARGES PRE-
FERED BY YOUNG
GIRLS.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Raymond
Hitchcock, famed throughout the
country as one of Americas greatest
comedians, assumed new role when
he appeared before Justice Bowling
to stand trial upon serious charges
preferred by young girls.
Sensational allegations. which put
the actor in the light of another Stan
ford White, are made by the alleged
victims Of orgies INDUCED in by the
actor Mt the 'sIIouse of the Stained
Glass windows" and at his country
home on Long Island. Friends of
Hitchcock declare that he is the VIC
tim OF blackmailing conspiracy and
sixteen of them, it is declared, have
contributed 81 900 each toward his de-
Tense.
The charges against Hitchcock are
technically preferred by the Gerry So
clety, but they are based on affidavits
sworn to by three of the young girls
by whom the actor is accused. The
principal accuser is Helen Won Hagen,
who is fifteen years old. Another OF
the girls is Bella Mckenzie and a
third is Elsie voecks, sister OF Hugo
c. voecks, accused by the actor OF
blacl1mall after his arrest.
Hitchcock has been on tour ever
since the beginning Of November,
when he reappeared after his sensa-
tional disappearance following his ar
rest and admission to bail. 1t was to
permit this tour, ostenslbly to enable
the actor to earn enough money to pay
his counsel, that the various delays
to the trial were procured by his coun'
sci. Lawyers Mcintosh and Fromme.
Hitchcock's recent tour was the
most successful in his career, crowd
ed houses greeting him at nearly ev
cry performance in every city visit
ed.
Mrs. Hitchcock, whose stage name i
Flora Zabelle and who is the daughter
o fDr. NJ. NJ. Manugasarian, a well
known nationalist lecturer and write
of Chicago, has declared that sh'
would stand by him no matter wha
the outcome of the trial. She has de
clarcd positively. ever since the &C
cusations were first made against him
that she believed him innocent AM
J still maintains that he is the victim
of conspiracy and peculiar circum
stances.
The charges against Hitchcock wer'
first made on October II last, wher
Bella Mckenzie disappeared. TheT
followed charges against the actor b!
number of young girls. 1t wa
declared that the actor had taken then

The most approved method of resus-
citation in cases Of drowning and

fessor Edward A. Schafer Of Edin-
burgh, Scotland, in a paper on artificial
respiration. read to the section on sur
gerry and anatomy Of the American
No cal association, which met re-
Gently at Chicago. Professor Schafer
WAS chairman of a special committee
of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical
society of London appointed to investi-
gate the subject. and his paper was
the result of that body's inquiry.
The method is n which can be used
by Il person without fatigue and
make possible resuscitation in a case
Lay the patient fiat on his face"
said Professor Schafer. "This throws
the tongue forward out of the mouth.
leaving the air passages unobstructed,
and does away with the necessity for
holding the tongue. 1t also permits
the water to run from the mouth.
"Kneel beside the patient and place
the hands one on each side Of the
backbone in the small Of the back.
about the line of the lowest ribs.
"Then by throwing weight forward
on the hands a vertical pressure is
effected with little fatigue to the opera
tor.
"The downward pressure should last
three seconds. This empties the lungs.
"The pressure should her be stopped
for two seconds, and the lungs will
naturally refill. This process should
be repeated twelve times q minute.
Careful tests by a spirometer show
that this method gives more than the
normal amount Of air to the patient
while other methods give much less
than the amount ordinarily breathed.'
