BEEF A LUXURY
So PRICE WILL
CONTINUE HIGH
Representative KentDeClares
Economic Law, Not Pack
erS, Is Responsible
Sees NO RELIEF IN
PROPOSED BOYCUT1
IN Nd Inited presa.

BY The United Presa.
WASHINGTON, July t4.-"Beef Is
luxury and always will be In the
United States, The trust has nothing
TO do with the high prices II is pure
ly an economic question. Beef is
high because 1t costs sos 70 produce
a 1900 pound steer today where It
cost S47 twenty years ago"
Representative William Kent Of
California. one OF the largest cattle
raisers in the United States. made
this statement today
A boycott, he said might decrease
the demand for beef, but II would not
decrease the cost to any appreciable
extent. Kent did not believe even
an abundant corn crop this fall would
lower the price OF beef Corn, he
declared will itself never be cheap
again, because of the increase in land
values.
That beef will always be a luxury
I'm the United States Is evident IN
this way" said Kent. 1T takes 56
pounds of corn TO produce ten pounds
OF pork the same amount Of corn
/ will produce only Ave pounds Of beef.
and Il takes twice as much beef to
/ obtain the elements of q full ration
of food for the human digestion as
OF pork And pork is high because
of hog cholera. n they ever do away
with hog cholera that will bring down
the cost Of pork.
"In discussing the beef situation
you must drop the trust" he assert
ed There was time when the
trust practically named their own
prices for buying and selling They
attained their place in the packing
world by the economies they prac-
ticed which the small butcher could
mot meet They sold more staple
stuff than the country butcher But
today II the packers we're put out OF
business we would have more expen
sive and poorer quality of food Th'
q packers margin Is very small on
p good stun Where he makes his rlo1f'
o IS on the canned goods and bologna
= sausage so the packer "a not responsi
BILE now"
'The high cost OF cord-ted beef ID
? due TO two elements First the pub
] lie ranges have been so cut up with
! homesteads that the large quantity
, OF beef cannot longer be produced. "
, continued Kent Secondly the very
, high prices which have prevailed
have tempted the producer to sell
their young cattle and breeding
stock
THE cost Of feeding cattle has con-
stantly gone up. Twenty years ago
feeders cost three cents a hundred
pounds. Today the cost is FIVE and
a-half and six and a-half cents a
pound. SO there is an increase OF
100 per cent. i'm feeding cattle alone.

HOW SUBMARINE MOTION
PICTURES ARE MADE

A little more than q month ago an
audience of scientists and diplomats,
together with men and women promin-
ent in Washington society. crowded the
Smithsonian Institution twice the same
day to witness the most remarkable
series of motion pictures ever shown
upon a screen. E.
These pictures which are to be eX-
hibited at the Columbia Theater next
week were taken at the bottom of the
ocean by the Williamson Submarine
Expedition to the West Indies. Sitting
in a submarine chamber OF steel and
glass that fitted air-tight to the lower
end of q collapsible steel tube, the in
vention of Capt. Charles Williamson. OF
Norfolk. Va. his two sons were able to
make a trip of thirty leagues under
the sea and photograph the mysteries
OF the deep as they went along.
The submarine tube has a well-like
opening about two feet in diameter and
is so strong and flexible that IL may be
lowered into the depths of the ocean
500 or even 500 feet with safety. The
roomy chamber az the bottom was
large enough to accommodate a party
of five persons comfortably. A slow
current OF air constantly circulating up
and down the tube permits the photo
grapher to remain for hours, or whole
days IL necessary. in the submarine
chamber.
