were proud that our country has
such women. There was a solidar-

Mr.. Taft then entered upon a con-
sideration OF the objects and scope
of the covenant OF the league, of
nations, touching on many of the
thoughts which he expressed during
his talks on Saturday.
He said that upon this country
rests the question of whether there
will be league of nations. because,
he commended, if this country does
not join, there will then be only an
entente.

Mr.. Taft added that it will be nee

she shows the spirit of repentance.
He said that Germany would like to

ADELE GARRISON'S New Phase of

tunate, for it was only few min
utes before he secured one, and we
were on our way to the new inn
which Miss Dean put in the time
describing with great fuency. The
frivolous nature of the girl unwit-
tingly betrayed itself as she talked.
One could see that all of life worth
while to her was the latest fashion,
the most exciting amusement, the
newest eating place.
Why Dicky WINGED.
The inn, rather an unusual type of
cafe, was fairly we'll filled, but we
were fortunate enough to obtain a
good corner table, and Bess Dean
at once seized the menu.
"Oh-h, I knew it'll" she gurgled
chldishly. They've got a lobster
thing um-bob on tonight, that's one
of their specialties. Please, Mr..
Graham, Inayn't | have some?"
She glanced up at HIM coquet-
tishly from under the short brim
of the rakish hat she wore. Dicky
promptly accepted her challenge,

eyes gazed at them both with con-
tempt in her glance, and | began
to feel the humiliation known to a

courtesy to either Alice Holcombe
or me until Miss Dean had de-
cided with an ostentatious business
upon every detail of her supper
Then he turned to us with no hint

MEAT SUPPLY IN
u. s. FAR BEHIND.
PRODUCTION NOW.
If People Were Dependent
Upon Storage Stocks, Sup
ply Would Last Less
Than rs Days.

NJ R. Murphy, manager of the
Cudahy Packing company of this
city, said yesterday that, according
to advices just received from the
bureau of public relations of the
American Meat Packers association,
the storage stocks of meat and lard
now available for consumption
would not satisfy the normal re-
qurements of the United States for
more than fortnight if current pro-
duction were stopped.
The public recently has received
much misinformation in regard to
meat held in storage" said Mr.. Muir
ply. Few persons realize that the
stored quantities are insignificant as
compared with world needs, or even
with domestic consumption.
"Advices just received from the
American Meat Packers association
by its members indicate that the
stocks of meat and lard now in
storage as reported to the depart
ment of agriculture on May l.,
amount to 1,400,27l, 592 pounds.
Stocks Less Than Production.
"In 1918, the meat production of
the United States was 23,365, 1924, 900
pounds-an average of l,947.l52,00O
pounds monthly. All the stocks now
in storage are less than three-fourths
of the production during one month.
"The department of agriculture
has calculated that the per capita
consumption of meat and lard in the
United States is 1885 pounds, or
about half pound per person per
day. On this basis, the United
States, with a population now ap-
proximatng 100000, consumes
567lO0O0 pounds daily.
1T is thus apparent that if the
American people were now depend
ent solely on the storage stocks, the
supply would satisfy their normal
demands for less than Is days.
But as a matter Of fact, a great
part of the storage stocks is not
available 70. consumption. The por-
ton owned by allied governments
