HORSE MEAT TO BE
USED in U. S. AS FOOD

To open up the channels of
trade for some of the inferior
horses of this country that do
not pay for their keep, and to
increase the meat supply in some
of the larger cities in the United
States and abroad where horse
meat is used for human food,
the U. S. Department Of Agri-
culture is authorized by Con-
gress to inspect horse meat and
h ors e meat products. The
amendment to the regulations
governing meat inspection by
the Department was passed by
Congress on July "a with an ap-
preparation of $1OO, 900 to carry
on the work during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1920.
While it is expected that as a
result of this amendment infe-
rior horses throughout the coun-
try will be slaughtered for hu-
man food, it will open a market
especially for the small horses
(many of them wild) on the
western ranges. These animals
are eating much of the limited
supply of range feed which is
needed by live stock that is bet
ter able to pay for it's keep.
Elimination of the undesirable
horses not only will save feed
for more worthy cattle and sheep
but will add hides to the leather
supply and increase meat stocks.
Every establishment in which
horses are slaughtered for the
preparation of food products for
transportation or sale in inter-
state or foreign commerce must
be federally inspected under the
new regulations. All horse
mea- for export trade must be
inspected. I h slaughter Of
horses and the preparation and
handling of horse meat must be
conducted in establishments sep
arated from those in which 9TH
er animals are killed or handled.
All horse meat or horse meat
products must be conspicuously
labeled or branded horse meat"
or horse meat products" and
must bear the statement ~. S.
Inspected and Passed by U. S.
Department o f Agriculture. "
The regulations list of a number
of horse diseases which, if found
in any animal slaughtered, will
cause it to be condemned as
food.
One of the most important
reasons for the new regulations
is that many foreign govern
ments will not import horse meat
from the United States unless it
is federally inspected.
; Briefly, in making possible the
: utilization of horse meat, the
y regulations place the matter
$ under federal supervision, there
: by insuring that the product is
clean and wholesome.
The regulations. it is explain
; ed, merely provide for the in
spection. The number Of horses
used for meat will depend on
the extent to which horses are
J marketed for that purpose and
, likewise on the demand for the

THE LOST BATTALION

From the New York Times.
 NH HAS the Lost battalion lost? It all MW depends on what you mean by lost. General Robert Alexan-
 seems to have an idea that there is some-
 thing derogatory in the term, and that
 the American people have got a wrong idea about 1t. He proceeds to remove this erroneous impression from the popu- lar mind. But the American people un- derstand just what the lost battalion did and have been filled with admiration for it.
 The general seems to think the pop ular impression is that Major Whittlesey' g command were blundering off somewhere into wood without knowing where it was going and disappeared, neither the divsion nor it's general knowing it's where abouts for five days. That is how he
 interprets the word lost" The truth is that lost is simply picturesque word. euphonius figure of speech. "Cut-ofr battalion or surrounded battalion" is entirely too clumsy to be catchword. He says that the battalion reached a designated objective and held it until it could be rescued-or relieved. since the
 General objects to the word rescued" as much as he does to the word Host"

AIR "SEASICKNEss,

From the London Mail.
 With the early prospect of aerial ..ioy
 rides" over Margate Brighton and other popular seaside resorts, people are won- dering how they will stand the air. will it make me air-sick?'s is a fre- quent query, especially from women. I'm very bad sailor, you know" How the falacious idea arose that the , air and the sea provide common sensa- tions in respect to sickness l have never been able to discover. I am a poor sailor
 myself. but I havs>pever once felt any inclination to air-sickness, even when ''stunting'' or being ''stunted." Civilian pleasure trips in the air will be straightforward circuits. The machin es will not be structually suitable for acro- | battles, which, no doubt, will be put out
 of court by the forthcoming air regula- tions.
 The strangest sensation of the first flip will be 'the feeling of nothing.'' This sounds like comic paradox, but there is | really hardly any sense of height, move | ment or danger in ordinary flying. It is only when the machine is landing that l its speed is realized.
 l The few >evolutions of an aeroplane calculated to upset weak stomach are spins, rolls (sideloops) and sustained spiral glides. There is no physical ris- comfort to the nervous system in a loop. | The proposed use of the aeroplane. in
 ambulance work should offer an ample
 guarantee of it's smoothness and stability.
 The patient will experience less joltins
 on his aerial stretcher than in a Red
 Cross van. In many cases, although con-
 scious, he will not know anything of his
 experience until he is told about it subse
 quently.
 As for bromides and anti i-air-sickness
 medicines they will be a mere waise o1
 money.
