The Wonderful Hippodrome.

In this age of "big business" it is not surprising to find almost any inc dustry so organized as to to make thousand men move as one, though one scarcely looks for it in the paint and tinsel of the footlights.
 Yet in New York, among the thousand other wonders, is theatre SO vast the principle of "big business" and the factory have had to be applied to it to. avoid maddening confusion. The institution is the New York Hippodrome known to visitors hailing anywhere from Pawtucket, R. l., to Seattle, Wash, yet given little or no thought by the resident New Yorker because it is at his command any day.
 Over two thousand persons cladm livelihood there. They range from the temperamental prima donna to the business manager, and from chorus girl to stable boy. t
 Every branch of the industries housed under the Hippodrome roof is departmentized. A superintendent with assistants is responsible for each specific department.
 All except the executive staff report at the stage entrance in Forty third Street, where time clocks record their coming and going. A force in con- struction and repair enjoys the same scale of hours as in an industrial insti- tuition. They ring inn early in the forenoon, work in their shops and "ring out" again at 5:30, while the 1 performers make their appearance at 1:3o and 7:So p. m. daily. With such vast number to deal with, individuality IS lost sight of and the famous clown Marceline and the humblest property hop" are alike paid off on the showing of their time cards. t
 Every day is payday at the Hippo drome, each big department in turn having its special day. The lowest salaried employees are paid off first on the theory they are in greatest need of the money, while the highest salaried executives come last. Payday for the chorus is gala occasion.
 There are between I,40o and 1,500 persons actually engaged in the stage presentation, "Wars of the World. "
 The Hippodrome accounting depact- ment is marvel in itself, and after the "count up" of every performance the receipts can be compared at glance with the corresponding performance every year since the house has been opened.

At NINTH ANNUAL CONVENTION
OF AMERICAN MEAT PACKERS
UNION IN CHICAGO.
WORLD. TO FEED ARMIES
SAYS EUROPEAN CONFLICT AND
WANING HERDS OF AMERICA
WILL RESULT IN DISTRESS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Chicago.-Shortageo OF meat supply
faces the world as a result OF the
European war, George L. Mccarthy or
New York, secretary Of the American
Meat Packers Union, asserted before
the ninth annual convention OF the as
sociation which opened here Monday.
Europe will soon exhaust its own
food supply and then will draw on the
world to feed its huge armies and help
less populations" Mccarthy said. The
results will be felt the world over.
Taken in connection with the fact that
this country is extremely short Of food
animals, the prospect for an abundant
supply, either in the United States or
abroad, is not encouraging"
Light on the diminishing beef sup
ply, the waning herds on the American
cattle ranges, methods to be adopted
| to induce farmers to raise more stock
| and the effects of the war on the cost
of food products is expected to be shed
in the convention. More than 700 rep.
resentatives>of 500 packing and supply
| houses are attending the convention.
e. T. Cash Of st. Louis, heading
| delegation which seeks to bring next
years convention to st. Louis, said
| the young men Of today have good
chance to get rich raising hogs.
Among subjects for consideration
will be request for the government
to make an appropriation to stamp out
tuberculosis in-cattle and to have the
tax removed from oleomargarine.
James Craig, Jr., president OF the
association, predicted the time when
practically every industry in the coun-
try would be under government super
vision.
James E. Poole Of Chicago said large
areas on which cattle might be raised
lie idle: that more and more farmers
are turning their hay and corn directly
into cash instead Of feeding livestock.
He added that one reason for this was
the difficulty Of financing breeding
operations, and suggested that postal
savings, on which the government
pays 2 per cent. could be loaned to cat
tlemen at per cent and that this
would revive the waning industry
within ten years. He attacked the
law which gives certain water rights
to homesteaders, asserting that for
every water course given over to the
private ownership Of homesteader
the country is deprived Of 1000 cattle.
The report Of the executive commit
tee touching animal disease declared
that 5000, 100000 worth Of livestock Is
lost annually through preventable dis
ease. The government, however, it
was stated, was doing excellent work
in combating this waste.

TAX INCREASE IS UPHELD.
State Levy Is Raised and 100000
More Revenue Is Provided.

More Revenue Is Provided.
Denver-The State Board Of Equal
ization accepted all recommendations
Of the State Tax Commission for in
creases in county valuations, refused
the claims Of public utility corpora
tions that the assessments of their
properties should be lowered, and
fixed the state tax levy for 1914 at
1.39 mills.
The levy is an increase of .09 mills
over that for 1913, and will bring to
the state about 100000 more revenue,
needed because Of payments Of inter-
est on bonds and failure to make some
collections in the last year.
1t will enable the state government
to pay in full all appropriations made
by the Legislature, including those for
all state institutions.
The total assessed valuation Of the
state, which was fixed by the tax com.
mission and upon which tie levy was
made. is $1,311 ,210.345.
The total estimated revenue, which
the state will obtain under the levy,
II $1,s22,5s2.
