TWO-THIRDS OF WORLDS
HOGS IN THIS COUNTRY

Washington, D. C.-Recent inves-
legations by the Department of Agri-
culture disclose that the United
States has relatively larger reserves
of live stock than any other country
in the world. In respect to swine,
this country is easily first, but it
holds second place in the number of
sheep and cattle.
It is estimately that there are APP
proximately 1S0,0O0,O00 swine in
the world. Of these considerably
more than third are in this country.
There are probably 475,0OO,OOO head
of cattle and about 5OO,OOO,OOO head
of sheep in all Europe, Asia, Africa
Australia, North and South and
South America and the islands of the
seas.
Although swine are less numerous
than cattle or sheep in the world at
large they are more plentiful than
either of the other classes of live
stock in the United States. There
are more hogs in this country than
in the number of sheep, and India
combined. Australia leads the world
in the numebr of sheep, and India
takes first place in point of cattle
American pork has found such
great favor in Europe and South
America that in 1918 it represented
more than two-thirds of the exports
Of meat from the United States. The
department of agriculture is actively
undertaking the conservation of pres
emit herds and is conducting cam
paign Of education to stimulate larg-
er and better production.

DISPOSITION OF WHISKY.
Norfolk virginian Pilot

Kentucky distillers and warehouse
men, who are alone said to have in
their possession an aggregate of $40,-
100000 of whisky now not lawfully
saleable, are reported to be asking
that Congress so amend the war time
prohibition act as to allow exporta-
ton of leftover stocks. This would
appear to offer a practical solution
of the problem of what is to become
of. liquor remaining in the hands of
manufacturers and dealers to which
if is difficult to see how any rational
objection could be urged in any quar-
ter. Adoption of the source suggest
ed would not only operate to obviate
the pecuniary loss, running into the
tens of millions of dollars, but must
necessarily accrue to the possessors
of leftover stocks unless permitted
to dispose of their holdings, but also
serve to facilitate enforcement of the
prohibition enactment by reducing
the means of violating it to some
thing approximating a minimum. The
former is no more than that to which
the manufacturers, dealers and ware
housemen are justly entitled; the lat
ter is something which the Govern
ment that has imposed at so-called
wartime prohibition on the country
ought to wish to see come to pass as
soon and as fully as possible.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The first trial of John Fitch's pioneer sidewheel steamboat was made on the Delaware 132 years ago today, August 22, 1Ts7, anticipating g Fulton's Clermont by 20 years. Fitch was a native of Connecticut, and prior to building his steamboat had been an armorer in the military ser vice during the Revolution, a sur veyor in Virginia, and a manufactures of sleeveb uttons in Trenton In 17S6 he commenced work on his first steamboat, after experimenting with skin propelled by steam. This pioneer craft was fitted with an en- zine of 12-inch cylinder, and though theb oat did not attain sufficient speed to answer the purpose of a packet, the trial proved conclusively the efficiency of steam as a motive power for vessels In 17SS Fitch built a second steamboat which made several passages between Philadel- phia and Burlington at a rate of four miles an hour Although John Fitch scored the first practical success in steam navigation, he was a failure financially, and in 17sS he committed suicide

POCKETBOOKS ARE ONLY HANDSOME
 BURDENS

Most of the pocketbooks you see about town are so enormous and heavy laden that one cannot help but think of them as the white woman's burden"l Some of these burdens" are very attractive, true, for they arc beautifully beaded, or of fine velvet or brocade. But they are heavy, for milady carries everything in them but the kitchen stove!
 An erstwhile respectable pocket book, made essentially as single re- ceptacle for purse and notebook, is now a young valise in which to carry not only the purse and notebook, but also the powderpuff. lipstick, letters, papers. knitting, novel, nightie, tal- cum, comb, in fact all the parapher- nalia for week-ends and bathing.
 It Is a foolish idea that a woman thinks she must carry all this stuff around with her daily! The trouble is that the bigger they make the pocketbooks the more she will find to put in them! So. why not simplify matters by eliminating the pocket book entirely by having pockets in ones dresses? Not fourteen pockets in one suit, as man has, but just two to a garment. one pocket for the ab- solutely necessary powder puff and small change purse and the other for the address book and bill fold CT.
 This will be about all you will need to carry around with you, so your pockets will not bulge and you will find a great load lifted off you by not having to tote around an ex- tra piece of baggage. Your hands will be free. for you will not have an object constantly dangling at your side, neither will you have to croox your arm to hold your bag: also your mind will be free of the con stant thought, q mustn't forget my pocketbook!'' and that will be a re- liefi
 When milady goes to dance in a restaurant. for instance. she must either carry her pocketbook out onto the dancing floor (which is incon- venient) or she must leave 1t on the table-in which latter case she is sub consciously worrying or thinking about its safety. When she goes to the theatre or shopping she must con tinually remember not to let her pocketbook slide off her lap, or be left on the counter. Thus a thing is always taking up valuable space in her mind and preventing her from enjoying whatever she is doing to the full.
 Now this Is not necessary. and 1t should not be so. and the way to avoid 1t Is to have a pocket in which to place your purse. Thus you will always have it with you but it win never be in your way. The pocket should button so as to lock its con- tents in safely.
 The progressive woman Is interest ed in anything that will give her more freedom-she has gained the freedom of a natural waist and a nat ural shoe, and has gotten rid of the hoop. the hustle and the train. The next thing Is to free her hand. Don't go through life with one hand con- stantly occupied with n burden.

MANY NOvETIES AT BAZAAR
 AND DANCE

Last evening a bazaar and dance church on the church grounds at Spruce street and Hancock avenue, for the benefit of the Federation of Labor. On Thursday night there is usually only popular dancing, but be- cause of the benefit there were sev- eral special features arranged.
 The first number was a Japanese dance by the advanced class of St. Stephens summer school. The music for the dance was furnished by Miss Jennie Alexander. The next number on the program was received with much interest with the appear ance of Kid Casey, the well known fast listed boy of the West End and Frankie Perpet, the Lavinsky of the South End. The bout was to have been five rounds but it only took Perpet three rounds to show that he was the victor.
 A Spanish dance by the members of the West End Educational Ali ance under the direction of Miss Helen Clark was well received. A wrestling match between Joe Smith and Young Heggerty. both of the East End, ended in draw. The concluding number was a Hungarian National dance by the Children of Mary of St Stephens, which was di- rected by Mrs. Irene Periczky. Mrs. Piriczky's father. Louis Serly, of New York, composed the music especially for the dance After the special pro- gram dancing was enjoyed.
 The special feature for Sunday -as, which will be put on unfEer the di- rection of a well known dancing in structor of New York.
