CARE WILL AID IN THE
SAVING, OF MEAT

Thed anger of losing meat by spoil
ing can be greatly reduced by careful
ly preparing the hogs for slaughter,
according to the swine specialists of
the extension division, Louisiana
State University.
A fast of twenty-four to thirty-six
hours before slaughter, plenty of wa
ter, careful handling and rest for the
animals are all important in securing
meat in the best condition for use
either fresh or for curing purposes,
they say. Food in the stomach de-
composes very rapidly after slaughter
and where the dressing is slow the
gases generated often affect the fla
vor of the meat. Water should be CIV
en- freely up to the time of slaughter,
as it keeps the temperature normal. 1t
is highly important that the animal
be not excited in any way sufficiently
to raise the temperature of the body.
If the animal becomes heated it is
better to allow it to rest overnight be-
fore killing than to risk spelling the
meat. It is also essential that the
hog be carefully handled so as not to
bruise the body.

DAYS OF WRATH

The coal miners said that they were
willing to negotiate to prevent
strike. The operators said they were
willing to negotiate and arbitarte to
prevent strike. The government
asked both the miners and the opera
tors to negotiate or abritrate or both,
to prevent a strike. So it was decided
to do neither and have a strike.
That makes it nice. A railroad
strike is something in the wake of the
coal strike, which, when it comes, will
make it nicer. With coal strike the
public has merely to consider how
best to freeze to death gracefully, but
with railroad strike as an added at
traction, the public will have an OPP
portunity really to come out strong.
We may learn to get along without
anything. 1t never has been done be-
fore. The public might succeed in a
hunger strike. 1t can do no worse
than Chicago Tribune.

BIG INTERESTS ARE
BECOMING FILM
PARTNERS
DUPONT Millions Join With
Goldwyn in Powerful
Producing Company

One Of the most important deals
ever consummated in the history of
motion picture producing, which
shows how the powerful financial in
terests of the country are considering
the industry as a factor in national
affairs, has been announced by the To-
cal offices Of the Goldwyn Distribut-
ing Corporation.
Negotiations have been completed
it is announced, which mark the entry
of large financial interests into the
Goldwyn Pictures Corporation, one
of the largest motion picture produc-
ing and distributing companies.
The new interests which will be
identified with the Goldwyn company
are represented by H. F. DUPONT vice
president of the DUPONT Powder Com
pany; Eugene E. Dupont; w. w.
Laird of Laird and Company; R. R.
NJ. Carpenter, vice president of the
Dupont Powder Company; G. c.
Kurtz, vice president of the Whining
/ ton Trust Company; E. v. R. Thayer,
president of the Chase National
Bank; Duncan Holmes, vice president
of the Chase Securities Corporation;
William Topkis; George T. Bissel; G.
w. Davidson, vice president of the
Central Union Trust Company; Mac
MILAN Hopes and Abbott M. Witten-
berg of H. Content and Company.
These men will be actively identi-
fled with the business of Goldwyn, it
is announced, and will act on the di-
rectorate in addition to the present
board Of directors.
The addition of resources will make
this company financially probably the
strongest and most powerful organi-
cation of its kind in the United
States. The new development in the
Goldyn company will mean an in
crease of capital stock to an author
lied amount Of one million shares, of
which there is intended to be present
ly outstanding approximately 45O,-
900 shares.
The Goldwyn company announced
short time ago that Lee and J. J.
Shuebrt and A. H. Woods theatrical
interests, controlling more than half
of the stage productions made in the
United States, had become officers of
the company and would reserve for
Goldwyn picture production all of the
plays which they have produced and
intend to produce in the future.
The Goldwyn company was formed
in 1916 by Samuel Goldwyn, who re-
tired as chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the Famous Players-Lasky
Corporation for that purpose. The
company has under contract the ex-
elusive services in motion pictures of
Geraldine Farrar, Pauline Frederick,
Mabel Normand, Madge Kennedy, Tom
Moore, Will Rogers and Jack Pick
ford. 1t also has exclusive long-term
contracts for motion picture prOduc-
lions of all works by Rex Beach, Ger
trude Ateherton, Mary Roberts Rine-
hart, Rupert Hughes, Gouverneur
Morris, Basil King, and Leroy Scott,
and has production some of the fam
Gus juvenile stories of Booth Tark-
ington.
That company recently purchased
its present studio property at Culver
City, Cal, the largest single studio
grouping in the world. Production
has also been started in New York
city, and definite plans are being
completed for an equally large studio
and laboratory near New York city.
