SAYS THE REPORT IS FALSE


WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Further
imitation of foodstuff prices would re-
suit from passage Of the Kenyon bill
to regulate and license the packing
industry, L. d. H. Weld, manager Of
the Commercial Research Department
of Swift 6 Company, testified today
before the senate agricultural COM
mittee where the bill Is under con-
sideration.
'"The main objection to the BILL" he
said. ''is in the fact that 1t was based
ON report of Federal Trade Commis-
sions, which are saturated with in
accuracies and misstatements. This
would be serious enough, but the lat
ter does not rest there because the
bill, if passed, will further initiate the
already hige cost of living"
Elemental fact in the meat figures
proves that the packers profits on
meat transaction was about two cents
on the dollar.

COMMISSION
 REFUSES GUNS

Coblenz, March 1-(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press)- Eighty big calibre German guns re- fused by the United States receiving commission because they did not meet certain modern standards have been sold to a, Coblenz foundry and are soon to be made into farm implements and other peace time machinery.
 While some of these cannon were cast as long ago as 1870, all had been used in the rscent war, several of them having done duty against the Americans in the Argonne drive in November. After the guns had been refused by the Americans members of the German delivering commission requested that they be permitted to dispose of the war material to a foun- dry. The request was granted with the understanding that the cannon would quickly be melted into pig iron and that none of this would be used for the manufacture of fire arms.
 Virtual all of the material which the Germans were to turn over to the Americans according to the terms of the arnlistice has been delivered.

CHARLOTTE BRONTE.

Charlotte Dronte, famous as the author of Jane Eyre" died 64 years ago today, bought the Societe des then a bride of less than a year, hay ing been married in the previous June to Rev. MT. Nichols. It was in 1852 that Miss Bronte was surprised by a declaration of love from her fathers curate. She was then seem ingly a confirmed spinster, a literary celebrity to whom fame and fortune and love all came too late, since she had wrecked her health in years of toIlsome service as teacher and gov
 ernsss and in looking after her father, Rev. Patrick Bronte, and her sisters. The curate's affection was re- turned by Miss Bronte, but her father objected to the match, and the daughter dutifully obeyed and refus- ed the curates offer. The latter re- signed his pos, and went away broken hearted, but after time the father relented and Mir. Nichols resumed his post and the marriage was performed in June, 1854. The few months that followed were the happiest in her life, hut death soon robbed her of her joy.

LAMB AND MUTTON.

The difference of a few cents in the cost of a pound of meat frequent ly deternnires whether that meat ap- pears or the table in many house. holds Yet that difference of a few cents just as frequently is caused by the limited knowledge of the house wife of the meat which she desires.
 Take the cost of mutton and lamb; it is regarded as high. But the aver -Ee housewife who so regards 1t speaks only in terms of chops and hind quarters. The fore-quarter of mutton is just as dainty. just as full of flavor, just as eatab1e in every way if it Is properly prepared. It also is many cents cheaper per pound.
 Your butcher, if he is up-to-date, knows how to bone and roll a should CT of lamb or mutton so that 1t may be cut into Saratoga chops or made into a roast of unusua1 sweetness.
 Breeders of sheep have paid more attention to raising a better favored meat in the last few years, and their efforts show clearly in the resulting product.
 Some opjectors to lamb and mutton say that they cannot eat 1t because of the "wool1y taste" and that they kn6w of no way to remove it. That is merely a case of pulling the wool over your own eyes. If the fell, or tough outer membrane that covers the meat, is removed, there will be no 'twooily taste"

SWEDES REQUEST
 AID FOR HUNS

Stockholm, March 31--One request that America should send food 10 Germany was drawn up here by q delegation of medical scientists repre- SC ing two hundred Swedish physi- clans who asked the American Minis ter, Ira Nelson Morris, to forward it to President Wilson.
 The petition was supported by the report of Professor J. F. Johansson, a nutrition exper., whose investiga- ton of the German situation has been in progress since 1915. He declared that tuberculosis in Germany has in creased 100 per cent. Easing their argument on this statement, the Swedish doctors in their petition said serious epidenics might be expected to spread through the world from Germany unless food was soon sup piled to the German people.
 Since the Swedish petition was pre- sented to Mir. Morris, Germany. has agreed to surrender her merchant ships to the Allies and the latter have promised to send food to Germany.

GERMANS SORRY BUT
 NOT PENITENT.

Herbert Corey, the war correspon- dent, was the first American to enter Germany after the armistice. In the course of a twelve mile trip through the defeated Empire, he in terviewed all kinds of German citi- zens. Their statements, he tells us in Everybody's for April, can be reduced to the following formulas:
 There would have been no revo- lution if Germany had been vic torious;
 "A winning war would have made Germany the greatest country and the Kaiser the greatest man in the world;
 "'The war was popular in Ger many until September. Then 1t was discovered that the war was lost. As soon as that was fully realized the revolution followed;
 Ludendorff and von Tirpitz lost the war They should be punished;
 Ludendorffs error was the dissi- patton of our energies over too great a field The offensive of 1918 was a mistake;A
 "'Von Tirpftz forced America in by his submarine campaign. Then he did not prosecute that campaign with sufficient vigor to make success possi- ble:
 "'The Kaiser has talked too much He made enemies for Germany. 1n the end he proved a coward and ran away. He can never come back
 Tn all this there Is no hint of pen itence. Not one of the innumerable men >I talked with suggested that Germany had been in the wrong In 1914, This is of especial importance in view of the fact that many of them did admit, in answer to ques- tions. that Germany forced the war on the world. Not one criticised the German methods in the war. Only enc man of prominence criticised

Murphy were in Hartford Sunday, on the invitation of the off cers of Bishop McMahon assem bly,, for a conference on the holding of an complication of the fourth degree in this city. It was represented by the officerA that Hartford was the logical place for exempIifying the degree this year inasmuch as it is several years since the Capitol City has entertained the fourth degree section. The last exemplification held in Hartford was on Sunday, February IS, 1912. Since that time there have been exempliff- cations in Bridgeport, Waterbury, Norwich, New Haven and Danbury. As a result of the conference it was decided to exempTfy the fourth de- gree in Hartford, under the auspices of Bishop McMahon assembly, on Sunday June l.
