Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
Ali these requirements ofinteligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of a cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon7
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?

NO TASK FOR THE TIMlD
Photography Today May Be Classed
Among the Occupations That
Require Nerve.

The adventures, reported recently,
OF on expedition that penetrated Brit
ish East Africa to secure motion pic
lures of big game in its native jungle
reminds one Strikingly Of the change
that has come over the vocation of
photography. In the beginning pho
Biography was as mild an occlpasfr1Nk
as any; it called for a pleasing ad-
dress in the photographer, and for
conversational tact to encourage the
sitter to forget that the camera was
watching him, but it was not adven-
turOuS. and the timidiSt might excel
at it. Then the newspapers began to
use the camera, and the photographer
had often to be IL man of courage.
But the motion picture industry goes
even farther Bold and brave must
be the man who successfully takes
pictures of lions. tigers, and other
deniZens OF the jungle in their native
haunts.

The next day her fears of Wetherell
and OF Leila were rekindled. She went
down to ask Bayard to help her trace
Clay. Bayard was out and Leila was
on the point Of leaving. She was
dressed in her killingest frock and
hat and generally accoutered for con.

Where are you off to?"
"Going for little spin."
"Who with?"
Leila hesitated q moment. then
answered, with a challenging def

Daphne disapproved and felt afraid ;
but when Bayard came in unexpect-
eddy early and asked for Leila Daphne
lied inevitably and said she did not
know where she was.
She tried to be casual about 1t, but
Bayard caught fire at once. He was
already in state of tindery irri-
liability, and Daphne's efforts to re-
assure him as to Leila's innocence OF
any guile only angered him the more.
He kept leaning out of the window
and staring down into the street. Fl

He told her in rage and she flew

between Bayard ana Daphne. There
was enough for both. Daphne tried
to escape, but. being cornered, pro-
