rushing work on a special gas to
combat their operations.

secret service long suspected
When she reappeared in Paris she
was arrested, a contributing circum-
stance. 1t appears. being the fact that
she was seen there with a young Brit
ish officer attached to the tank"
service.
Her conviction was confirmed by a
revision court on September IS, ana
the supreme court confirmed the pre-
vious findings.
So far as known Mata Hari is the
first woman to be executed by the
French Government as a spy.
The daughter OF a Dutch planter
and Javanese mother. she was born
in the Dutch East Indies and her
origin was always evident in the exo-

Europe. When she was only a few
years old her mother took her to Bur-
nah and dedicated her 10 one of the
Buddhist temples. where she was to
be a religious dancer.
But Mata Hari had no more than
made her debut in the temple OF
rites at the age Of fourteen than she
fed with a British officer, who mar

she lived the quietest period OF her
life for few years and became the
mother of two children, a boy and

She shot the gardener. was arrested
and brought to trial. but the matter
was smothered over and she was sd-

beginning OF aar adventures. Next
she appeared IN Paris as an Oriental
dancer.
One admirer described her as not

sculptors termed perfect.

BETTER PRICES
ELSE COWS Die
Milk Inspectors Say Farm.
ers Will Slaughter Cattle
Rather Than Produce
Lacteal Fluid.

The country faces an enormous de-
crease in the number of dairy cows
and consequent loss OF milk, unless
the price of milk is raised high
enough to allow profit to the
producer. delegates to the sixth
annual convention OF the Interna-
tional Association of Dairy and Milk
Inspectors at the Raleigh Hotel, said
last night.
The cost OF every item entering in
to the production of dairy goods has
increased greatly and unless there Is
a relative increase in the prices OBJ
tained for milk, dairy cattle through
out the country will, be slaughtered
for beef. and the nation will face the
most serious shortage in dairy pro-
ducts in its history.
Grains have increased in price un-
til it no longer is profitable for the
producer to feed 1t TO cattle for the
production of milk which he must
sell at a lower price than he could
obtain for the grain originally. The
difficulty of obtaining labor and the
high wages demanded add to the cost
Of producing milk.
Shortage Threatened.
At the present time the production
of milk and dairy cows practically is
stationary. There is no general
slaughter of mich cows for beef, but
all indications point to a serious con-
dition facing the dairy industry which
will necessitate an increase in milk
prices to a level which makes produc-
ton profitable or the slaughter Of
dairy cows for beef will create a ma
tion-wide shortage. ..
Three sessions OF the convention,
which VIII continue today and to-
morrow, were held yesterday.
At the meeting last night President
William H. Price. OF the United states
Public Health Service. delivered his
annual address. The report Of the
committee on Diseases Of Man
Their Relation to the Milk Supply and
tn the Public Health" was received.
While the report contained no definite
figures, it was estimated a good per-
ccntage of diseases which are carried
by milk, could be eliminated If the
proper precautions were taken in
handling.
Culture Test Urged.
The convention adopted by large
majority a Recommendation that the
new method of testing milk for
bacteria, adopted, year ago. be
replaced by the culture used before
that time, which was recommended
