The Agrarian League, in support
of theh bill to establish a minimum
price for live stock, declared in a
note sent to congress that "the meat
trade was being made the object OF
undue abuse and speculation by the
'frigorifco trust" The note called
attention to alleged profits made by
two packing concerns controlled by
a Chicago packing house which, it
says, earned 1928 percent and IS
percent in one year on their capital
registered, here of $22, 100000 and
$22, 1856, 900 gold, respectively. The
note also called attention to similar

ENGLISH AUTHORS
FEAR FILM TARIFF
American Legislation Likely
to Bring Retaliatory
Imposition.

Special Cable 10 THE New YORK HERALD.

New York Herald Bureau,
London, Aug. O.
Prominent English authors have
joined the campaign conducted by the
Incorporated Association of British
Clnematograph Manufacturers against
the proposed American tariff on i'm
ported films. Many of these writers, of
course, would be hit personally because
they get big prices for their works
which are filmed. Some are taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity to advocate
that authors should get royalties rather
than a lump sum for their films.
Sir II. Rider Haggard says: The
chief need Of the nations to-day is for
that which will help tie them together
and make them understand each other.
This more perhaps than any human
agency, the cinema can do. The pro-
posed legislation will mean the impo-
sition OF retaliatory duties by other
countries with the result that no pro-
ductior, however beautiful and uplift-
ing, can exercise a general appeal
among civilized peoples"
sir A. Conan Doyle asserts that "in
all such cases retaliation is the only
way OF getting free trade
americans have the sob stun the
close up makeup and all the rest OF Il"
said Bernard Shaw. They want French
films. English films and Scandinavian
films for variety. If they don't get
them. American films will drive the
American public out OF the American
picture theatres. The theatres will
close down or take in vaudeville and The
glory OF Los Angeles will pass like that
of Babylon"

Berlin. Aug. 9.
Efforts on the part of the Berlin
police to prevent bathing in the parks
here on hot days have aroused the in
dignation of the Germans. In old days
public bathing was forbidden at any
places other than restricted lakes and
beaches and might be INDUCED in only
at certain hours.
With the revolution, however, the
Germans asserted their freedom in this
connection and began swimming in
any waters they pleased, and any kind
of a bathing costume appears to be
admissible. A trip to Potsdam shows
the bathing beaches there swarmed
with thousands of bathers daily, some
of them partly dressed and some wholly
naked and resembling pilgrims wash
ing away their sins in the Ganges at
BenareS.
Any person walking along a beach soon
finds himself in the midst of men and
women lying in the sand. Apparently
they are all happy and healthy. al
though house owners in the vicinity of
the bathing places and societies for the
preservation of social prudery are voic-
ing indignant protests. Recently mounted
policemen have been riding the bathing
beaches where the freedom of the sun
bathers was declared to be too great and
have rounded up many of them and
marched them off to police stations.
The general public. however. judging
from the numerous protests which have
followed these roundups. prefer to have
freedom instead of the traditional ''ver-
boten," which ruled Germany for years.
and to continue their bathing where and
how their fancy dictates.
The heavy taxes have provoked wild
extravagances in Berlin's West End,
where the high life is being taken ad-
vantage OF by profiteering managers Of
cabarets and other amusement places.
In the so-called Pleasure Palace in the
Kaiser ALE. one will pay 1000 marks for
a meal, and the prices of drinks are IN
proportion. The guests are taken
through an opium room where a Jap
anese offers pipes TO the amateurs.
There is also a harem room where a
solemn pseudo-Pasha sits surrounded by
group of doubtful looking Turkish
beauties
But the principal attraction at this
establishment is the ballroom. Here not
only professional beauties but many
women OF good social position come,
masked as rule, seeking for adventure.

lent rendezvous for all who crave ex-

generations how the United States
saved the worlds peace. In the central
rotunda NJ. Sciortini suggests there
could be placed the greatest pipe organ
in the world, with an orchestra of 400
instruments in the balconies, while
outside around the dome a series Of
fifty or sixty bells could be rung on
great occasions. The music would
harmonize with that of the inside, but
it could be heard fifteen miles away.
"Of course, it would require writing
special music for such a magnificent
chorus" said the designer, "but the
world would be benefited by such a
departure from common monumental
styles"
AS to the cost OF NJ. Sciortino' s
temple, that's another matter-cer
tainly it couldn't be completed for less
than $50,000,000. and some architects
declare if the details were to be fol-
lowed with the magnificence suggested
by the Maltese dreamer 1t probably
would cost double that. But dreamer
or not it must be remembered that
some of the worlds greatest develop

workers, and humanity may some day

SAFETY FIRST DRIVE

PARIS, July 27.-The great number OF
accidents that occur on Paris streets
show plainly the need OF safety first

matte traffic regulations such as obtain
In London and New York. Taxicabs
dart about at reckless pace, often
missing each other only by inches, while
pedestrians, who are not taken into con-

every time they cross a street
The only rule the taxi drivers seem to
observe is that OF trusting in the nerve
of the other fellow when It comes to
lodging collisions. Under such condi-
tions 1t is marvellous there are not more
accidents. Still, the records for street
accidents for 1920, which have been
made public, give eloquent proof OF the
danger in Paris traffic, the total number
of accidents for the year being 60.375,
or an average Of 165 day.

After living for forty-four years
under the stigma Of having been con-

ing small quantities of arsenic. a drug
gist named D'Anval has appealed to the
Minister of Justice to clear him of this
suspicion on the ground that scientists
have discovered that arsenic Is COM
monty found in the human body.
The DAnval case is one of the most
noted of the last century, a conviction
having been obtained when the analysts
found less than a milligram Of arsenic

Is the reputation of the Louvre as
the future art centre of the world 10 be
based on the fact that the paintings ex-
able instead OF being of real artistic
merit? French critics profess to see in
the acquisition OF Delacroix's Death of
Sardanapalus" evidence of this tendency.
for although last month the Louvre
paid 700, 900 francs for this painting,
which is twelve by fifteen feet, it was
so lightly considered by art experts
thirty years ago that il could have
been bought for less than $4,000 francs.
The Louvre authorities bought the
Death OF Sardanapalus" to compensate
their regret at not being able. in view
of public opposition. to pay 100000
francs asked by the Dutch for a canvas
called "The Little Street" by Vermeer.
the real value Of which few years ago
was less than 100000 francs.
Another evidence of the modern ten
dency TO consider the price instead of
the art Is found IN Gustave Courbets
Il Atelier, Whicn was Dougnt last
year for what modern artists condemn
as an outrageous price, inasmuch as
the work has been refused by a dozen
lesser museums throughout the world.
The Delacroix work was first ex-
hibitcd in the salon in 1927. when IL
was ridiculed by visitors and critics
For fifty-five years 1t remained in the
