MOVIES AID TO STUDENTS.
Cornell President Says Film Shows
Lessen Beer-Guzziing Parties.

That the moving picture show has
proved the most powerful agent for
the upbuilding of sound morals in col
lege students was one Of the asser-
tons of President Jacob Gould Schur-
man of Cornell University at the an
nual banquet Of the Cornell Club OF
Western Pennsylvania in the Union
Club here last night.
In Ithica," he said, I'VE have found
that the movies are a most potent
factog in making manly fellows Of our
students It is not like it was a few
years ago. Nowadays when the boys
have a little time hanging on their
hands of an evening they do not or
ganize parties as of old. and go down
| town to guzzle beer and shoot pool In
some ambiguous emporium.
INSTEAD they spend nickel or IL
cents to see a thrilling four reel drama
and return home with all the excite
ment they want."-New York Sun.

Who /. cettino Beef Profit.

! TO charge that the butcher is hold
! ing up MS beef prices at an exhorpi
tant level is consistent. The butcner
has not lowered his selling prices, de-
spite the fact that he is buying beef at
wholesale far under costs he paid two
months ago.
The packer is buying the raw ma
terial on the hoof s1.75@2.5O per nun
bred pound cheaper, and he is seinns
it in the wholesale trade at a liberai
margin of profit. Just why the butcher
does not show spirit OF cooperation
, in the endeavor to effect freer move
ment of beef is a mystery to the I'VE
stock trade.
The butcher is selling little beef be-
cause he demands an excessive price
for it. based upon its cost to him. by
cutting his price proportionately with
the decline on the hoof and in the
wholesale trade the butcher could 40
a greater volume of business. and it Is
in volume of trade that his main
source of profit lies.
The butcher who sells few car
cases of beef each week at an excess
sive profit per carcass could sell many
more of them at reasonable proht anu
his aggre gate returns would be larger
The butchers stock argument in de-
Tending his price position is excessive
overhead charges" He points TO him.
self as a much abused man. he can
not cut his overhead charges, SO ne
asserts. but he doesn't try in most IN
stances.
His overhead charges are as high
when beef is costing him topnotch
prices at Wholesale as they are when
beef is low, as is the case now, and II
may be reasonably assumed that the
butcher rarely does business at loss
even when wholesale prices are at top
levels.
Many smaller butchers consider a
4-cent cut in the price they pay al
wholesale doesn't count for a row OF
pins.
The cost Of service. including rents
help deliveries etc, is so high that
they have to get big prices or go out OF
business" This is the statement OF one
of the largest retail butchers in Chi
cago.
It's stock argument with the butch
ed. Just now he is reaping an excess
! sive profit at the expense of the con-
sumner 1t is time when the consumer
should consistently be benefited II
the producer must face big loss.
Things are not equitable in the meat
business when the raw material sells
a. big loss to the producer and the
: "middemen" overtax the consumer.
Beef on the hoof right now is one
OF the cheapest Of food commodities
yet at retail it sells at practically the
same old high notch figure as pre-
vailed when cattle We're s2.0oa2 90

orb.tant profit and the praducer can
