The Enquirer states that the sur

was completed in 1925. Jackson was

confusion and dispute as the people

| poets 10 conclude It's work within four
months, and only asks Congress for ar
additional $4,000 with which to car.
~ on its noble work.
The net result OF senator Lodges
labor to date is a bill presented by him
10 the Senate on Thursday last. This
bill provides that the Government shall
require all meat to be taken from cold
storage not later than a year after
it has been put there, and that all
meat kept is cold storage for a long
err period shall be deemed adulterated
and liable to seizure under the exist
ing pure food law.
We presume Mr.. Lodge introduced
this bill because he wanted the people
to know that his committee had some
excuse for asking an additional appro-
priation for it's work. We cannot see
how he expects that the bill he pro-
poses will pass or Will be of value If
1t pass. In theory it may be
correct, and it may be perfectly
safe for meat TO be sold which has
been in cold storage for twelve months.
but the operation OF the law is diff
fereqt matter.
How can the Government be sure
that meat is not kept in cold storage
for q longer period than that allowed
by law The simple labelling of cold
storage meat will not be sufficient. for
labels may be removed with the utnost
ease. and meat can be placed in cold
storage without labels. To watch and
to label every side of meat and every
dozen Of cggs placed In cold storage
would itself be as great q task as
the present meat inspection, and would
require as large a force
Then. too. how Is the Government to
prove the Interstate character Of the
meat which is placed in cold storage?
OF course. Congress has no authority
to say that meat raised or killed with
lin a State can be subject TO Federal
inspection in that State. otherwise
than Tor quarantine purposes: and Con-
gress will ind it a difficult task TO prove
| that the products sent to the cold stor-
age plants are not raised within the

Tho Back Of a Glove.

The meaning Of the three marks on
the back of a glove and the clocks on
a stocking were two Of the little mys-
teries Of dress explained Mt lecture
on clothes in London. The lecturer
said that the three marks on the back
of a glove correspond to the fourchette
pieces between the fingers, and in old
en- days these pieces were continued
along the back of the hand, braid be-
ing used to conceal the seams. A
somewhat similar origin was assign
ed to the ornamental clock on the
stocking. In the days when stockings
were made of cloth the seams came
where the clocks do now, the orna-
mentation then being used to hide the
seams. The useless little bow in the
leather band lining mans hat is a
survival Of the time when a hat was
made by taking piece Of leather, Dor
ing two holes through it and drawing
it up with piece of string.

man who moved deliberately and al
ways with some thought for others, or
would it be the ever alert man, quick
to move and always on the lookout,
not caring continental for what any
body thinks and always ready to jump
