MEAT INCREASE
AT Time NEEDED
Producers Responded NobIy
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified in Pork Policy
Which Nov Provides Chief Sup-
ply to Meet Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan Of con-
Administration Immediately following
the entrance OF the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program Is of particular signifi-
canoe, as ii demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Adj
ministration by the meat producers of
the country.
According to reports OF the U. 8.
Department OF Agriculture. there was
an increase I'm cattle of 10, 23S, 900 head
and 12,441 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January / last In the same
period there was decrease Of $4,000
head of sheep, but indications are this
ing the latest reports.
Since January I unofficial informa-
ton indicates an Increase In hogs OF
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an Increase in
average weight
Following the request Of the Food
Administration for increase in hog
production for the fall Of 1913 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1,600,000,00O pounds
more of pork products than were
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30,
1917, amounted TO 903, 172, 900 pounds,
while for the same months of 1913 the
production was LIT $3.50 pounds,
an increase of over 3z4 200, 600 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 In
spected slaughter records of dressed
beef showed 1,263,O00,OO0 pounds "a
against 100000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
l, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products.
TO meet the added demands of the mil
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward TO the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program In the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it has brought about will enable US
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be world shortage in fats,
and ii is 10 the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply its deficien-
cy. At the same time there will con-
tinue TO be heavy demands for beef.
Owing 70 the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports OF
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.

Good Looks by Study.

The Cri de Paris. the weekly Cos
sip magazine. says that Maj. Sir Will
liam Orpen. the painter. who Is still
working on pictures of the peace con-
ference, was haunted by the idea, when
he was young. that he was very ugly.
He used to turn his face aside in
the street to avoid being seen.
Working as an art student, he no.
ticed that his fellow-pupils, by dint
of mental concentration upon the beau
tiful models Of antiquity. gradually
came somewhat to resemble them In
their own features. Orpen eagerly
awaited promotion to the same class,
and determined to spend all his time
copying the Venus de Milo. Il shall
thus acquire her admirable expression
OF naughty serenity" he said. "Un-
fortunately" he continues, "when
was promoted to copying antiquity my
master made me spend the whole year
drawing nothing but The Dancing
Faun.' SO that never realized my am
bition."
