LIVESTOCK MEN TESTIFY

Washington, Feb. "A government
regulated monopoly Of the meat In
dustry was advocated by live stock
producers today before the Senate
agriculture committee and the House
interstate commerce committee as
the only means OF satisfying both the
producer and the consumer, and pre-
venting the cattle business from be-
ing destroyed
George Armstrong, eattleman, of
Fort Worth, Texas. recommended TO
the Senate committee that legislation
be enacted which would give the gov
ernment control OF the entire indus
try and permit Ii to fix the prices Of
live stock meat and labor. He said
both producers and consumers had
just grievances against the present
system, and that only government
intervention would prevent continued
agitation.
Edward G.. Lasater, memDer OF the
executive committee of the National
Livestock association, and former
chief of the livestock and markets di-
vision Of the food administration, told
the House committee that the cattle
industry would be destroyed if the
government did not take steps i'm.
mediately towards assuring the pro-
ducers q just profit. He declared
that more cattlemen were facing
bankruptcy today than at any other
time in the history Of the industry,
and that government ownership was
the only solution of the problem.
Mr.. Lasater charged that the TODD
administration was responsible lor
large losses suffered by livestock pro.
ducers. He said the packers were as.
sured good profit on everything
they handled, hut. when the producers
asked the sappe nr'vilege. Foad Ad.
ministrator Hoover told thom J. could
not be done, and that tli should be
willing to make some sacrifices 10
aid the country to win the war. The
witness said that the result was Plat
the credit OF the producers was des
troyed and that they had lost so much
money that they now were forced to
sell almost all their calves with the
consequent threat TO the future meat
supply
Mr.. Hoover seemed to have every
ones interest at heart except the pro
ducers," he stated. "He treated
them unfairly from the start. He
even went SO far as TO tell the allies
the meat supply Of the country was
much greater than it was and invited
them to order as heavily as they de
sired. He so manipulated the situa
tion that England shows an increase
in her cattle during the war Will,
ours is greatly decreased

The principle of these methods. ac-

Educational Problems in India.

bad, can accommodate but few Hindu
girls in the boarding department be-
cause of the difficulty of caste. One
Brahman girl who was very anxious
to enter the school had to be refused
because she could not do her own
cooking and take the full course, and
she could not because of caste regu-
lations eat at the clubs with the Chris
tan girls. A woman was found who
would cook for her, but this woman
refused to wash the dishes. because
to do so would make her ceremonially
unclean. A second woman said she
would wash the dishes, but she couldn't
cook for the Brahman girl because she
was of such a low caste that the girl
would not eat her cooking. AS it was
impossible to take in two extra wom-

Eleven thousand one hundred feet al

The tree is the western mountain ce-

huge mountain chain merges over into

The Indian cutie, when pursued by
sharks or other birds of prey, exudes
a black, pastelike substance, which dis
