MOVEMENT OF LIVE STOCK
IN EIGHT MONTHS SHOWN
Department Of Agriculture An
nounces Falling Or in Hogs and
Sheep, Increase in Cattle.

Although there was a decided falling
off in the movement OF hogs and sheep
receipts of cattle at the principal stock
yards of the country for the first eight
| months of 1917 showed substantial in
crease, the Department of Agriculture
announces.
Cattle receipts of 1o.s7s,ss7 head COM
pared with s.191.61s in the same period
of 1916. while receipts Of hogs were a.
532,927 as against 24.4os.ss1 and sheep
798O,539 against s.535.536.
Receipts of hogs in August were less
than half of those in August. 1915. the
figures being 1.717.635 this year and o.
593.537 last. Equivalent figures for
sheep were 1.453.176 and 1.ss4.s16. Cat
tie receipts increased over 200. 900 head.
the figures being 1.705.s12 and 1.527,-
.o6e.
The departments statement explained
the large cattle movement as due to
higher prices offered. the increased cost
of feeds and the droughts in the south
western section of the country. Last
year an unusually large number Of
hogs and sheep were marketed in re-
sponse to high prices. Receipts thus
far this year are taken to represent
rather a return to the normal move
ment than a distinct falling Off in the
supply

REGARDLESS OF THE WAR

Branches, ls Report.

Student activities in the nine depart
ments of George Washington Univer-

war. according to present indications
Although athletics have been disoon-
other branches Of student life will
flourish.
Despite tho fact that scores Of stu
dents have entered the military serv-
ice, tho enrolment Is tho largest in the
history of the university. and those en-
rolled are busily engaged preparing
for social functions.
The fraternities and sororities already
have opened the social season, and the
proximity to the capital of SO many
Army and Navy officers and enlisted
men will mako the year one Of the
Greek organizations. Smokers, teas
suppers. luncheons, theater parties and
other forms Of entertainment already
are being announced.
The Hatchet, weekly student publ
cation. will continue this year. Howard
H. Martin is editor-in-chief. and his
associates are Henry Ravenel and Mar
garet ]. Prentiss The Cherry Tree

usual.
The Girls University Club Is plan
ming a busy season. and the mems and
girls glee clubs are planning reorgani-
cation. The university orchestra will
be reorganized II a sufficient number
of student musicians report within the
next few weeks. 1t Is doubtful whether
the dramatic association will reorgan-
ize. although talent may be found
among the new students to take the
place of those who left the university
to engage in war work. The Enosinian
Literary Society. the oldest student or
ganization in the capital. whose history
runs back nearly a century, will hold
it's first meeting of the season within a

With the greatest possible restora-
tion of functions obtained by these
measures, the next consideration Is the
readjustment of the damaged individ-
ual to life outside the hospital. The ma
ture of the injury must determine the
measures for such readjustment. but, In
general, they will tend to allow the
soldier to leave the hospital with
enough vocational and educational
work and to the use of artificial OF
partially damaged members. In other
words, he should then be able to adjust
himself to life as he will thereafter
meet 1t.

cupation that they followed before in

education to do so. In many cases a

a woman, would interest the men and
develop assistant teachers among them.
On the return to the United States
the invalided soldier, by the plan un-
der consideration, would be thoroughly
studied, either at port of entry or the
receiving hospital to which he would
be sent. General survey Of his past
life would be made. and consideration
given to what he would wish to do in
the future, what he probably can do
and how these equations harmonize.
This would result in recommendation
for disposition of the case and a course
of training to be followed.
The Medical Corps proposes that
those who are absolutely helpless and
unable to resume a normal life of self
support should be placed in special hos
pitals or homes or given into the
charge of friends. and their future
care be charged to government ex-
pense. Those who prove themselves
efficient for world service should be
discharged and permitted to work out

Reported as Dentists Job.n

Attempts to get in touch with Gray
Gables brought out the information
that Col. Lamont would see all the
newspaper men at Z o'clock that even
ing. with a full explanation of every
thing. He asked that nothing should
be said until that time.
He greeted the men cordially and
with apparent frankness. He told them
that 1t was really very foolish to make
such a stir over a matter essentially
trivial: that while the President had
suffered from an attack of rheumatism
to which he was occasionally subjected
the thing that had occasioned his pro-
longed journey on Mr.. Benedict's yacht
was only bad case of dentistry. The
President. besides being very busy
never enjoyed having a dentist work
over him. In consequence he had al
lowed his dental work to fall SO badly
into arrears that he had finally felt
compelled to go on the yacht; here he
could be cool and comfortable and let
the dentist make a thorough job of it.
This had been done.
The newspaper men, with the avidity
characteristic of their craft, inquired
the name of the dentist. the exact ma
ture of the dentistry and other minor
details which the reading public is ever
eager to know concerning a distin-
guished patient. These questions did
not stump the resourceful Lamont, who
dismissed them with the remark that
they were too trivial to talk about.
