MORE LIVE STOCK
NOW THAN A YEAR AGO
Government Statistics Contradict Reports
That Prices Will Reach Un-
precedented Figures
years, | ing.

For the first time in many years.
information collected by tile depart
ment shows that all classes of live
stock in the United States are in.
creasing in numbers. Thus the real
facts contradict, absolutely, sensa-
tional reports that prices for meat
INA shoes would rise to unpreced.
ented figures in the immediate future.
1T mas even been said that a govern.
ment statistician predicted meat at
nifty cents pound and shoes at
$40 a pair within the next two years.
such a prediction, the real govern.
ment statisti.lans say is quite un-
warranted.
On January /, for example, the
number of beef cattle showed an
increase of "a per cent over the
number year ago, and an actual in.
crease of l,2l2,OOO head. Hitherto
the number of beef cattle in the Uni.
ted States has declined steadily
since 1910. There are also more
mich cows in the country than last
year, the increase being 2.5 per cent
or in numbers $4,000. Swine, how
ever, showed the greatest increase
Of all classes-9.6 per cent. On Jan.
uary /, 1914, there were only $685.
600 swine in the country; on January
l, 1915, 64,61S,0OO. This is account
ed for by the fact that the production
OF swine can be increased more rap
idly than that Of other classes or
live stock and consequently an en-
larged demand can be met more
readily.
The prediction of so cent meat and
$40 shoes was accompanied by the
dec 'aration that France alone has
taken from America nearly 100000
horses within the last Ave months
and that the other countries at war
have drawn upon our resources in
the same proportion. The facts are
that more horses were on the farms
Of the United States on January /,
1916. than there were year before
the increase being $4,000 head, or
IL per cent. So far from France
alone having taken 100000 horses
from us, the total exports since the
war began have certainly been much
less than 100000 and very likely not
over $4,000. Since there are approx
imately 25,OOO,OOO horses altogether
in the United States, the drain on
account of the war Is scarcely alarm.

could consent to the wearing of them
on everything again.
There is no way to tell just what
the lingerie waist of the summer will
become. There is said to be a re-
yival of the old button in the back"
waists and trimmings of braid and
buttons in military effect in the
front.
Dainty wolfe waists are shown,
some pin tucked and others of the
plain material trimmed with wash
able cord or braid and little soft
crochet buttons and with a dainty
collar which stands high in the back
but does not keep the front of the
neck from being free and open to
the air.
Overblouse and coatee effects are
very popu ar and will no doubt be
used, especially for the very dressy
waists.
The chiffon or chiffon cloth blouse
of putty, sand, or biscuit colors are
very smart and very practical this
winter. They are made with high
collars and usually button straight
up the front with small silk covered
buttons. The waist of crepe de Chi.
ne Is also very good, especially where
made with large revers which fall
graceful ly in the front.
In an illustration / show a new
blouse, collarless, with the neck cut
in the Callot square, which is most
becoming and far less trying than
the usual square or Dutch neck.
The model is developed in craquele
net and untrimmed, except for a
cord outlining the neck. The skirt
worn with this waist Is an excellent
one for the separate skirt, as it is
made with yoke and front in one
and pleats at the side, causing the
skirt to fare in the up to date man
ner at the sides.

erwise.
A charming Afternoon dress is pic
tured herewith which shows some
what the bolero effect, together with
the long sleeves, which are most
striking features of the present styles.
The waist Is made with an under
waist of crepe de Chine with the
bolero effect In wide lace. The
sleeves of this outer waist are short
and Of the lace, while long net
sleeves extend to the wrist. The
skirt of crepe de Chine is shirred sew
eral times at the waist and hips
and is finished at the top with a
frill of itself. Three graduated bands
of net are the only trimming on the
/, skirt. This is a frock which may be
worn again and again, as its long
sleeves and high collar give it dis
tinct.y daytime air, while the materi-
al makes it elaborate enough for
many evening functions.
The separate waist takes on diff
ferent features with the changing of
the season and there is no end to
the numerous models, although they
all bear a resemblance one with the
other.
This season the high collar has
been the newest note In these waists.
A few good models have been made
with the high collar, but 1t is much
harder to achieve than the waist
with the round, wedge, or rolling col.
lars.
Some of the waists are made with
a v neck and high collar above it,
leaving little Of the neck or chest
exposed. This Is unique but gives
such a look of something left out. or
unfinished that 1t is scarcely popu-
lar. Others are made with a straight
band around the neck and a ruff OF
net or chiffon above and below 1t.

1t is, in fact, pointed out by Govern
ment statistisians that the market val
ue OF farm horses has actually declin-
ed to such an extent that the average
is now about So a head less than a
year ago. This decline is most not.
iceable in the cotton States and in
those states which make a business of
breeding horses for sale in other sec.
lions. Mules have declined even
more than horses, their value now be-
ing $ll.50 per head less than a year
ago. The explanation is to be found
in the depression on account of the
cotton situation in the South, which
Is the great market for mules. An i'm
provement in the respect will do
much to restore the demand for hors-
es, so that Government specialists,
while ridiculing the notion of a fam
Inc. are convinced that farmers will
find 1t profitable to use good work
mares for breeding more stock.
AS for hides, the situation is not
quite so clear, but even here there
has been much gross eXaggeration.
From two fifths to less than one half
the leather used in this country Is i'm
ported, about % per cent from Canada
IL per cent from Mexico, S1a per cent
from European Russia, and ~ per
cent from France. Since the out
break of the war importations have
shown a certain falling off those for
September. 1914, for example, being
only 34,000,000 pounds, instead Of
100000 pounds the year previous.
There is, however, little reason to
suppose that this decrease will be per-
manent or OF sufficient importance to
create any real scarcity. Since the
great bulk Of the imported hides
comes from countries that are not at
war, and the only new factor to be
considered Is the possibility Of an in
creased demand by the warning
countries.
1t is believed. however, that the
United States is now in a better CON
dition to face such a situation than
for years past. The tide, 1t seems,
has turned. Instead OF live stock
steadily decreasing year after year,
this year for the first time, as has
been said, all classes show an APP
preciable increase. Including horses,
mules, mich cows, beef cattle, sheep,
and swine, there were on January l.,

1915, 7,712,OOO more farm animals in
the United States than on January
l, 1914. The increase in the total val
ue was s7S,O24,OOO, or 1.S per cent.
1t is quite true that this increase is
not vet proportional to the increase
in population, which is appropoximate
ly per cent; put the fact that there
Is an increase, that the tide seems de.
finitely to have turned is regarded
as a sufficient answer to alarming ex-
aggerations and misleading figures

serted, there was not the remotest
chance that such things would ever
be done.
The witness declared there were
no grounds on which to base a sug-
gestion that the charter which was
granted by the New York legislature
might be unconstitutional.
AS for conditions in Colorado, the
witness saw no reason why the Rock

The theaters are opening and many
are crowded, but not by the fashion
able audience that one would expect
under different circumstances. The
women Of Paris are avoiding the ex-
tremes which have always been their
hobby in style. The very tight skirt
has been discarded, but the very full
skirt which was thought would by
this time be the Partisan style OF
the moment, has not as yet been full
ly accepted. However, the gowns
closed-no lights were allowed, the
cafes could not be open, the theaters
were shut down, and a curfew told
people that their lights must be out.
1t was natural that this should affect
business, but now things have chang
ed and are taking on much more
normal outlook.
The dressmaking houses which
have kept open are doing business,
with the United States at least and
Rodier, the great manufacturer of
which were worn by the actresses
had certain elements worth remem-
bering.
A dress of black velvet, which was
worn by a French actress, had long,
tight fitting sleeves and square,
low neck, with Medici collar in the
back. The skirt was full and was
drawn In around the bottom. A length
OF the velvet was draped over the
hips and ended In a train. The en-
tire gown was devoid of trimming
which gave richness that no amount
Of establishment could have aided.

Their is living look at his ambition;
when his father is dead look at his

As to the duty of a son after his
fathers death the sage says, "a

years" latter the death of the lat

The principles summarized above
can be accepted as typical Of a truly
Chinese home, although in middle
and lower social life it is modified
to some extent. The modification,
however, is due more to peculiar
conditions of life than to lack of
principle, for it is obvious that
when every member Of the house
has to do the best he can in the
struggle for a living there is very
little room for elaborate application
of Confucian principles. One prin-
ciple, however, is universal--that is,
the father is supreme in his house,
and the son must yield answering
obedience.
