Rope Held BY b Assistant.

1t is necessary that the rope be held
by an assistant, as in the event of the
animal struggling during the opera
tion SO as to throw itself off its feet,
or If there appears 10 be danger of its
choking, the rope may be- slackened
promptly at the word of the operator
and the animal partly released. This,
however, is rarely necessary, for as
soon as the head Is secured the oper-
ator should be ready, standing at the
right shoulder of the animal with his
saw, and proceed to saw off first the
right and then the left horn. It is a
good plan before commencing the real
work to experiment, upon an animal
in the matter of control by tying the
head to the stanchi0n rail as described.
If the stanchion rail is too wide to-
permit of properly securing the lower
part as well as the upper part of the
animals head, the. turn of the rope
around the muzzle may be omitted and
the last lap of the rope carried around
the stanchion rail to the front. and to
the hands of the assistant. Care
should be taken that the rope pass
each time over the neck of the animal

Delicate Mechanism

Despite it's scope Swift B
Company is a business OF in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge of weight price, the amount
and quality Of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. "A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss. M
Chemists. engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi-.
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only fraction of a cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?

Where 70 Cut the Horns.


Where TO Cut the Horns.
The horns should be severed from
quarter to half inch below where
the skin joins the base of the horn,
cutting from the back toward the
front
If the cut is made too high an irreg-
ular, gnarly growth of horn is very
apt to follow. II will be seen that the
point of union of the skin and horn
varies in different cattle; hence there
can be no rule of measurement, ex-
cept as the eye becomes trained to see
the point or line at which the cut
should be made. In the beef breeds
fully one-haif inch Of skin. all around,
Is usually taken OF with the horn.

Temporary Arch as
Final Memorial Is
Opposed by Women
City Club Protests at Plan
to Make First ''Victory''
Structure Permanent i'm
Honor of New Heroes

Opposition to the project for making
permanent the temporary soldiers
memorial arch at Madison Square
came from the Women's City Club at
its monthly meeting yesterday at the
Hotel McAlpin.
Mrs. Meredith Hare. chairman of the
art committee. introduced the following
?. solutions:
Whereas, a committee of the
Mayors committee has reported in
favor of making the temporary arch
now being erected on Fifth Avenue
at Madison Square, a permanent
mem orial, and it is reported that
public contributions for this purpose
are, or soon will be, requested. it is
Resolved, that while the Women's
City Club is cmphaticallv in favor of
decorating the city for the welcoming
homo Of our soldiers and sailors, it
is equally emphatically opposed to
any attempt at this time to make any
such decorttions permanent, for the
following reasons:
"a permanent memorial should be
above all an expression of the public
will and feeling and such an express
sion cannot exist until the public has
had ample opportunity and time to
consider and judge of any plans sub
mitted.
Even preliminary plans for per-
manent memorial should allow for
participation by all American talent
and imagination.
"Our soldiers and sailors themselves
should have voice in any perman-
ent memorial to their services (and
the supreme sacrifice OF their dead
comrades) and their voice should not
be forcstalled by any decision made
in advance of their homecoming"
The third clause, suggesting that
soldiers and sailors should have q
voice in the selection of any perman-
ent memorial. was stricken out in the
course of the open discussion, on the
ground that it was not delicate" to
ask soldiers to discuss their own
memorial.
1t was said that many members have
objected to the activity of the Police
Department in collecting funds for the
proposed arch.

established
Those who spoke included the Rev.

war and Of plans that we're under way
for survey of the field
DR.. Fosdick urged in his address that
the churches of the world unite to
make successful the new type of
Christianity He also said in referring
to the coming peace conference, "if
it comes to an end without the estab-
lishment Of league Of nntions, the
greatest tragcdy-no the greatest
trcachery-~in the history Of the world
Will have come TO pass."
