Justifying the "christmas Story"
Chicago Record-Herald.)

There is an increasing tendency to
ridicuIe the christmas story that
fond invention of the minor fictionist.
The opportune though unexpected re-
turn of the long-lost relative, the
highly apropoS though unlocked for
legacy, or even fortune-such efforts
at Christmas cheer as these have late
ly excited the risibilitics Of the cync
and the critic. Yet the Christmas story,
like almost every other established and
commonplace thing, has q way, now
and then, of iustifying itself, and in as
concrete fashion as you please.
A few days before Christmas a son
did return home to his mother after
many years of absence and silence. He
found her keeping her small shop in
the same obscure corner of the big city
in which he had left her. She was as
forlorn as the stories demand, and he
was as prosperous. He declared his
identity. took her in his arms ana in
timated that the days of her poverty
and neglect were at an end.
On Christmas day itself a man was
advised that he had fallen heir to a
fortune. His grandmother had died in
Germany. leaving him a large part of
her estate of half million dollars, and
an uncle wrote requesting that he for
ward proofs Of heirship.
The Christmas story, then. exists be-
cause it is. Do not slap at it, for it is
quite capable Of s!apping back.

The HIGH Eliqht Record.

Dispatches from Los Angeles tell us
that another thousand feet has been
added to the high flight record. The
aviator scared well above the tWo-milc
mark and next time may be expected
to reach 1900 feet, later $4,000. $1,000
and UP to 10000 feet, and so on until
he finally reaches a. point where the
motor is paralyzcd or it is no longer
possible to sustain human life. But
what is the use of it all?
If n man should fall from n distance
of 26.o00 feet, he would have attained
the distinction of having made a sheer
tumble of five miles. which would most
certainly be something that has never
been accomplished up to this time.
But with the way aviation is progress
ing the distinction may be reached any
day. Not even DR.. Cook. We are in
formed, lays claim to having fallen as
far as five miles. Commander Peary
has no ambitions in that direction. and
Col. Roosevelt has given no Indication
that he intends to capture the high
tumble record.
Climbing the air must be a breath
less sport, but where is it's advantage
in practical affairs? II the aviator
would come down out of the sky and
show us how to get home to dinner
instead of doing these stunts to take

Food Storage Abuses.

Government officials. after investi-
eating and Selling a large amount OF
storage food product in New York,
transferred their efforts to the New
Jersey side on Tuesday. and raided the
Merchants Refrigcrating Co. plant of
Jersey City. They seized 10 tons of
eggs which they claim to be rotten.
This is one of the largest seizures
made since the government began its
crusade against the sale of unwhole-
some storage warehouse food. 1t has
been shown that chickens are withheld
from the market for high prices until
they have become unfit for food, as
well as positive menace to public
health.
Several states have tried to put
through measures regulating the busi-
ness of cold storage. Such measures
generally demand a time limit during
which various articles may remain in
cold storage, prohibit the returning of
articles to cold storage except while
in transit between cold storage ware
houses within q time designated, and
possibly arrange for some means of
Identifying cold storage goods in the
market. If the people of the various
states would unite in demanding these
things and holding their lawmakers
responsible for the production of acts
sufficiently drastic to make it an I'M
healthy job for any concern to traffic
in public health for the benefit of their
own pockets, an end would be put to
this rotten food question. The public
has been patient and long suffering,
and it is high time that 1t took this
matter in hand.

Meat Trust Profits.

Meat Trust Profits.
An investigation of the business
transacted by the so-called meat
trust which is being prosecuted by
the government as a monopoly in the
restraint Of trade, shows that the an
nual net profit of six big concerns is
s25, o00,0 900, and that the American pub
lie Is paying these six big packing
houses the sum of 1925, 100000 q year.
Just what relationship the high cost Of
living has to these enormous profits is
an interesting subject for speculation.
The National Packing Company,
which is owned Jointly by Armour.
Swift and Morris, has a capital of $780,
900, 900 and does a gross business of
800, 900 a year. about the same as
that of the Sulzbergers. 1t is said
that the Cudahys, doing a smaller
business than the SulZbergers, make
greater profits. 1t is declared that Nor
ris &. Co. makes a profit of so per cent.
on its capital, and the president Of one
of the smaller of the six companies
boasts that it's business is exceeded
only by the gross earnings OF two
railroads, the Pennsylvania and the
Southern Pacific.
For years, the profits of the packers
were known only to themselves, and
the public had no way of ascertaininG
whether these profits were unduly
large. With ever-increasing greed.
however. the packers, in order to raise
money to extend their business, began
sale 10 the public, and they have been
compelled by the rules OF stock eX-
changes, to make an annual statement
of assets and liabilities. In the state
mcnt just issued, it is shown that 90
per cent. was earned on the stock of
the Armour Company. Dividends of
s.. 900 900, or 10 per cent. were paid on
|stock Besides the stock and bonds,
there is a capital investment OF a
round s74,000Oo0.
The enormous expansion of Swift &
Co. in fifteen years has amazed the
financial world. From a $10.0O0,000
concern the company has advanced I'M
til it now has $6o,00o,0O0, and next
month will offer an additional S15,-
100000. On this stock it pays . per
cent. dividends. There is also 3d.
900 900 bonds. This total Of $S0,0 =
900. bonds and stock, means a net in
come for dividends sinking funds and
surplus, of at least $4,000 600. The in
come of Morris e. Co. less the interest
on its bonds, shows Il profit around 80
per cent. annually. Last year 60 per
cent. was earned on the stock.
/ Considering this matter from q
practical standpoint, how long are the
people of the country going to permit
such conditions as will allow these
gluttonous combines Of capital to pile
up millions at the public expense, while
dealing in an every day necessity "
These concerns not only are making a
vast profit out Of their. business, but
they are so organizing throughout the
country as TO shut out competition.
