LICENSING Of PACKERS
PROTESTED BY ARMOUR
Citing Alleged Injustice In New
Zealand, He Writes Opposing
Proposed Legislation.

J. Ogden Armour Of Armour &
Co.. packers. has written a letter Of
protest to. members Of Congress
against. the enactment of legislation
for the licensing of all persons en-
gagged in the meat packing business.
In a letter to Senator Gronna, chair
man of the committee on agriculture,
before which the Kenyon and Ken
drick bills for regulation Of the pack
ers are now pending. Mr.. Armour
directed attention to what transpired
in New Zealand. where his company
has had q branch.
In New Zealand. Mr.. Armour ex-
plains, 9 law was passed making 1t H.
legal for any person, firm or COM
pany to carry on the business Of a
meat exporter unless authorised to do
so by a meat export license issued
under authority Of the act"
Mr.. Armour states shat December
conditions, the secretary OF the Ar
mour Company Of Australasia, Limit
ed, made application for q license and
received a communication under date
of February "a. 1919. refusing to grant
the license. The communication from
the minister OF agriculture said: This
decision has been arrived at after the
perusal of the official summary of the
report Of the Federal Trade Commits
sion on the meat-packing industry, ap-
poirted by the United States govern
ment."
Inghis letter Mr.. Armour points to
the tkperience Of his company in New
Zealand. which. he says. illustrates
how such an arbitrary power can be
used and how 1t would substitute gov
eminent by men for government by
law"
Mr.. Armour emphasized the fact
that the license in New Zealand was
withheld mot because Of any act Of
pany. but solely because the of1cial
charged with the duty Of granting
such license had perused the sum-
mary OF report Of the Federal Trade
Commission"

Japanese Dishes.

Although occidental and oriental
taste in food varies. still. many dishes
favored by the cooks Of Japan may
be adapted by our palates, and we can
gain many good economy hints by
thinking over the Japanese culinary
methods.
To begin with. the Japanese make
wide use of fish. and that is something
that we might do to advantage. Both
our seacoasts, our great lakes and
many OF our inland rivers supply
abundant and delicious fish at reason-
able prices-at no price at all II
you are possessed of fishing rod and
patience. Moreover. many kinds of
fish that have heretofore not been
considered worth eating have recently
been experimental with and it has
been found that they are both whole
some and appetizing II properly
cooked.
The Japanese cook. with little meat
at his command. saving fowl and ham.
has learned to give meat flavor to
many dishes Of vegetable composition.
This he does by using very little
meat in their preparation. Those of
US who shudder at the thought of
palatabie II it was prepared with
just enough mest to give flavor.
OF course. we have all heard much
Of the Japanese use of rice. In our
case, homtny and samp, two corn
products. with macaroni and spa
ghettf whom they are cheap. could
be used layishly and these products
should be prepared In many inter-
esting ways with the addition of
vegetables and inst q bit of meat to
give the desired meaty flavor.
The Japanese cook. like all his
oriental brothers. is a past master in
the art of seasoning. He understands
the taste-giving qualities of all sorts
OF herbs as few occidental cooks, even
those Of France. understand them
and It Is because Of this faculty that
he ts able to prepare such a tasteless
food as rice with such skill and va
rtety. The Japanese cook also knows
that pickles give zest to otherwise
simple fare and he serves them in
abundance.
In one thing the American cook is
decidedly more fortunate than his
Japanese brother and that is in pos
sessing a Mmit1ess supply of butter
and milk. The Japanese cook uses
OIL for shortening in cooking-soy
bean for one thing-but he makes
very little use of milk. because Japan
Is not Q dairy country. Milk 10 pre-
scribed a. medicine in the land OF

Federal Board Explaining Resula-
lions for Vocational Education.

Representatives from the tederal
board for vocational education have
been sent to each of the district Of
fees to explain new regulations In
the administration of the vocational
rehabilitation law. These regulations
were revised to meet the require
ments of recent changes in tho law
as amended by Congress.
By this recent legislation the
benefits of the rehabilitation act are
extended to all persons disabled IN
the service-this, of course. includes
those suffering with tuberculosis.
The federal board is given the en-
tire responsibility of determining the
right to and need for vocational
training of those persons whose dis
ability prohibits a return to former
occupations, and who are unable
without training to carry on in a gain
full one.
The support of the disabled man.
with that of his dependents, is en-
tirely the responsibility of the fed
eral board during his period OF train
ing. The scale of payments MADE
to men in training range from $50
a month. for the man with no De,
pendents, to $3.50 for the married
man with six or more children. A
schedule of graduated payments is
also made for the widower with chill
dren and for the man with depend
ent father and mother.

Brownie initiate the songs Of other
birds the way Mocker and Kitty do?'
Jenny Wren shook her head very
decidedly. mo" said she; hes per-
fectly satisfied with his own song"
He ought to be-" declared Peter.
"Any one who can sing as he can
should be quite contented."
Before another word could be said
the clear whistle Of Glory the Cardi-
nal sounded from a tree just little
way off. Instantly Peter forgot all
about Jenny Wren's relatives and
scampered over to that tree. You see,
Glory is SO beautiful that Peter never
loses a chance to see him.
AS Peter sat staring up into the
tree trying to get a glimpse Of G1ory's
red coat. the clear. sweet whistle
sounded once more. It drew Peters
eyes to one of the upper branches.
but instead Of the beautiful brilliant
coat of Glory the Cardinal he saw a
bird about the size Of Welcome Robin
dressed in ashy gray with two white
bars on his wings and white feathers
on the outer edges of his tail. He
was very trim and neat and his tail
hung straight down after the man
ner Of Brownies when he was sing
ing. It was q long tail. but not as
long as Brownies. Peter blinked and
stared, for he waS very much sur

Rows Of Gold Buttons.

Entirely aside from any military sug-
gestion that they might ever have had.
brass buttons and bright small buttons
Of various sorts are finding their way
back on our clothes for the coming sea-
son. There is something always anus
ing and pleasing about a row OF buttons,
especially If those buttons are gold or
brass. You marvel at the patience of
, the owner who must button them all up
and unbutton them all every time she
dons or doffs the hebuttoned frock. II
you are young and romantic you count
them out with the old lines, ''Rich man.
poor man. beggar man." etc. If they
are your buttons you live in mortal
terror that one will come Off and lose
itself, because, of course, the dress
maker didn't have a single extra one to
give you in case Of just such an ac-
cident
OF dull gold are the buttons on the
brick-red velveteen blouse in the sketch
today. 1t is one of the interesting
things that the dressmakers have de-
signed for autumn wear. The ia cket
is bound with dull gold braid. and dull
gold braid forms the belt that goes
twice about the waist.

BUTTONS ARE BACK IN VOGUE.

I by some Of those who usually guess
right in these matters-that military
styles would be the rage for women.
It always happened that way. said
oh. no end Of buttons: and epaulets
and braided jackets would be worn.
They would not be at all mannish,
these feminine eonceits. but they would
be most military. We thought of some
sort OF Daughter Of the Regiment"
costume. perhaps. e.
Our Predictions Fail.
Almost everything connected with that
1t was the sort Of cataclysm that
comes every once In a while to show
US poor mortals that our judgments
and predictions are of nothing worth
matter Of clothes man may propose. but
does not dispose.
For. though the shops made haste to
display windows full of new military
styles much pocketed and braided and
buttoned. these costumes didn't take;
gestive of things military went out OF
favor. Women, to be sure. wore uni
forms. but they were always adapted
to the work for which they were de-
uniforms of the men. Obviously there
was seldom anything initiative about
them. and in the clothes that women
wore when they did not wear these
working uniforms there was absolutely
nothing at all military.
And there were no rows Of metal
buttons. Partly that was because but
tons were a less conspicuous part of
the soldiers uniform and partly be-
cause when war was actually upon us
the glamour that had once circled
around the idea faded. At least a SOL
dier's uniform was something to be
taken very seriously.

day--the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November. The District
will be divided into precincts of 500
qualified voters each, qualifications
necessary to vote being ability of the
voter to read the Constitution Of the
United States in English and to write
his name. One inspector, two Judges
and two clerks will be stationed at
each voting precinct.

which residents Of Washington cast

EVERY TUB SHOULD STAND

Ladies Home Journal
Most people who have succeeded in
any direction Of activity can trace the
measure Of their success to the habit
Of deciding things for themselves.
One Of the greatest temptations we
have il to eonlide in others. By yield
ing to it we not only become nuis-
ance to our friends but keep on lower
ing oVx own powers Of resistance. It
is worse than useless to ask the ad-
vice Of others, because they are rarely
% much interested in our troubles as
We think they are, or would like them
to be. II they were, they would have
to know ~ much about our troubles
~ we do, to pass Judgment, and this
we can not tel them even II we
would.
Some times indeed We may know too
much about our own troubles, or in
such . way that the continuous
thought Of them puts them IN Tie
wrong perspective; but this situation
Il only made worse by adding the con-
fusion Of anothers mind to ours.
By deeidmg everything for yourself
you may make mistak1s; but every
