STATEMENT EXPLAINS
HIGH PRICE OF MEAT
Chamber of Commerce of United
States Presents a Study
of Facts.
Federal Figures Give Nations Elk
port Trade In It's Favor Largest
IF Any Year.

Belief is expressed in q statement by
the Chamber OF Commerce of the United
States that efforts will be made by vari-
Gus agencies TO obtain a more abundant
supply OF meats, as well as more rea-
sonable prices '"rhe great increase in
the population of this country, and oonse-
qlently the increased demand for meat
as food" says the statement, coming al
the same time as the decrease in recent
years in the number of cattle and sheep,
has naturally brought about the high
price of meat. Consequently there has
come widespread apprehension of the
ultimate trend of this tendency.
"A careful study of the facts, however,
indicates that il Is one of those eco
nomic problems that is likely to solve
itself, and that the number OF cattle in
their relation to the number OF in
habitants moves rather in a series of
cycles than I'm a straight line For in
stance, the number of cattle per hundred
OF population Is the same now as it was
in 1870 and 100, but we are evidently
facing a great change in the cattle-raising
industry"
The textile industry, according to the
chamber. is adjusting itself to changed
conditions resulting from decreased tariff
rates. The paper-manufacturing business
IS below normal, the Shoe-manufacturing
business is good. All manufacturing con-
nected intimately with the railroad and
with the steel and iron industries is nee
essarily feeling the depression of these
two great branches of business.
In the west and south mercantile bust
ness is in good volume, the report further
says
Foreign Commerce for 1913.
The nations foreign commerce for 1913
appropriated S4,a5o.o0oo0o, the Depart
ment of Commerce estimates. or that
amount $3.50, 100000 represents exports
and S1.1Jo.oOo0oo imports, making the
balance Of trade in favor of the United
States S1-O0o0,aeO, which exceeds the
record of any previous year.
The years exports were the largest IN
The history of the country, while the i'm
ports are exceeded only by those of 1912.
The decline in imports is attributed in
part to reduction in prices of certain
articles imported.
The increase in foodstuffs exported was
chiefly in wheat, corn, barley, oats, -four,
bacon and lard; in manufacturers exports
increases are recorded in automobiles,
railway cars. electric machinery, manu-
factures of iron and steel, lumber, cop
per and mineral oil.

THINKS THE INFECTION
DUE TO BAD SEWERAGE
Pellagra Commission Submits This
Theory at Meeting Of Ameri-
can Scientists.

ATLANTA. Ca, January 3.-That pei
iagra infection probably results from bad
sewerage was a theory advanced in the
report yesterday OF the Thompson-Mc-
Fadden pellagra commission before the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
The report stated that no definite rela-
ton was observed between the occur
rences of peilagra and the use of any
particular food In districts completely
equipped with water carriage systems %
sewage disposal, the report states. very
few cases of pellagra have been found.
and their origin has been doubtful IT
also was found. according TO the report.
that new cases of pellagra developed
for the most part in the vicinity OF old
ones or after association with them.
The report declares the exact mode OF
transmission of pellagra still is uncer-
tain, and urges the continued study of
insects as transmitting agents. and Of
close personal association as possible fac
tors in its spread.

, GIRLS GYMNASIUM NEEDED.

The next legislature should appro-
pirate money for a gymnasium for the
women of the University The enroll
ment of women is now about six hun
dred and yet they have no place for
ercise except a made-Over room in
Academic Hall.
There is not a women's college in
the state with an attendance OF Id"
which does not have fairly good
gymnasium but Missouri with 500 is
Lacking. There is no reason why there
should not be intercollegiate athletic
relations between the women of the
universities. Why not women confer
ence teams as well as mems?
We will have such things when the
women get their just deserts. Perhaps
there would be less complaint of -wO-
men dancing half the night as many
times a week as the rules will permit
when the women can get good eXer-
else in fine building of their own.

Unpacked illustrates the Size of
of the University.

cation department, Muscular Work; '

Two large volumes by former
Governor ID. r. Francis. president of
the Board of CuratOrs, have just been
added They are the history and re-
ports of the ST. Louis Worlds Fair.
Memoirs of Lii Hung Chang" who

Chinaman of modern times: Modern
Problems" by Sir Oliver Lodge !:
Worthless of England" by Fuller,
which was written in 1862 nd of which
the copy which was received was
printed in 1911, are important volumes
of general interest.
Some of the books have odd titles.
There is The Canadian Oyster. Cold,
The Cost of Something for Nothing,
Correspondence Relating to the War
between the United States and Spain
The Hays-Tilden Contest" and occa-
sionally volumes with long foreign
titles.
And they continue to come. several
shelves full a week. The old library
is getting crowded. Ii is easy to get
lost or confused in the stacks All
will be changed in few years when
the new library building is finished.
But the old library will not be entire
ly changed. The reading room will
BE- left as study room for Arts and
Science students They continue to
add new features to the plans. The
architect and II. o. Severance recent
ly conferred on the location of the
drinking fountain which will be given
by the present senior class.
If you think that the University
don't need new library facilities. just
step into the reading room any time.
Especially at 10 O'Clock Tuesday and
Thursday when there are few classes.
The main room is as crowded as the
auditorium at mass m citing. The
students are literally stacked around
the delivery desk three and four deep.
In the new building, the delivery desk
will not be in the reading room. The
room will be kept perfectly quiet.
Meanwhile the students do the best
they can and those who are upper
classmen are sorry that they will
never be permitted to enjoy the priv
ileees of the new library.

ends of the halls to get 10 the stair
WAYS and then back to the middle OF
the building to reach the big doors
that lead to the outside. One narrow
wooden stairway leads TO the fourth

they knew there was fire in the
building.
These conditions should be remedied.

LEADERS OR MASTERS!

There is no place in this country
for the man who would be masterful
over his fellows. Leadership, not mas
cry. is the need Men who would be
masters of industry. must learn this
lesson. Statement of Secretary of
Commerce Redfield in an address to
the Commercial Club of Seattle the
other day.
The significance of the principle may
be more easily realized by noticing
a simple and natural classification
into which the mind places the prom
inent personalities of history. Appar-
emily there are two great classes. dis
tinct and almost opposite. which come
TO the mind spontaneously. In one
are: Alexander the Caesars, Louis
XIV. Napoleon. Men admire these
characters, honor them and pay hom-
age to them even today. In fact men
stand awe-inspired before a statue of
Alexander the Great.
Yet the homage paid these men
cannot be compared with the admira-
ton and inspiration evoked by study of
the lives of Socrates. Aristotle. Luther.
Gladstone. Washington. Jefferson. Lin
coin. There is something in the lives
OF the latter men that far transcends
the power and glory of the men in the
other class. These men were leaders
The others were masters-for a time.
These men helped humanity. The
Others-they may have helped. but far
less.
The ambition for mastery seems to

This is a big school to which we
$500 students of the University are
going. isn't it? But do you truly real
ize lust how varied are its interests
and how broad is its scope? good
way to get such realization is to go
over TO the library any week and look
al the new books which have been
received.
Last week the general library un-
packed two important sets of books
according to II. o. Severance. libra
rian. They were "Anatomische Hefte
and "InternatiOnale MonOtschrift fuer
Ana,omie." Each set cost 5000 and
each is composed of twenty-siX vol
umes. They are bound volumes of pc
riodicals on anatomy.
Those books are of chief interest to
the medical student. Along the shell
one finds another important contrl-
button. II is portfolio of twenty
paintings and sketches of Venice by
F. Hopkinson Smith. Other books of
particular interest to the students who
spend most of their time in the art
galleries on the third and fourth floors
of Academic Hall are encyclopaedia of
Painters and Paintings" in four vol
umes and Principles of Greek Art.
Many students take economics. The
new School of Commerce will open
next year so one looks TO see if there
are any books which will interest
those students. They are there in
abundance. The 1911 census of Cana
da." is there. Howard Elliott. presi-
dent of the New Haven Lines. has
lust published a work. The Truth
about the Railroads. 1t is in the
list. The American Office, its Or
ganization Management and Records
is another good book for the business
man. And of course there are the
statistical books published by the gov
ernment which are received con-
Stantly.
Even the elementary school is not
neglected. "Wig-wam Stories has
