PACKERS IN MOVE
TO LOWER PRICES
Would Restrict Shipments to
Make Retailers Reduce
Rates.

CHICAGO, Aug. ls.-A movement
by commission men and packers to
restrict incoming shipments of live
stock, and which eventually NAV
have the effect Of forcing retail
prices Of meat downward, came to-
day in an appeal sent broadcast by
Everett C. Brown, president of the
National Livestock Exchange.
THE dressed beef trade is in a de-
moralized condition. 1t was ex-
plained. although wholesale prices
Of beef have dropped until fore
quarters are selling in some places
at 4 cents a pound, retail prices
have not come down.
with retail prices up, the public
Is not buying. With that condition
existing the retailer, of course, Is
not selling and is consequently not
buying from the wholesaler, who in
turn has restricted his orders from
the packers. Meanwhile. from the
Western markets the usual ship
ments Of cattle for this time OF
year are being shipped and the
packers force are converting the
shipments into dressed meats"
The solution of the situation, ac-
cording to commission men and
packers, lies in the hands of the re-
tailers. The wholesale price Of beef
has ben steadily declining; the re-
tail price has been held practically
on the same level. II the retail
price were lowered in comparison
with the decline in wholesale prices,
1t Is argued that the public would
be stimulated into buying the
cheaper cuts of meat thus opening
the market for distribution all along
the line

whole power of the Commonwealth
will be extended to apprehend ana
punish those who are guilty of such
an atrocious crime.
Rebukes Lynch Law.
"It cannot be. however, that any
man or group of men shall be per-
mitted to take the law into their
own hands. The eyes OF the nation
have recently turned to Plymouth,
your neighboring town. as the
President OF the United States paid
his tribute to those sturdy men and
women who established civil liberty
under our government.
THE nation has rejoiced with US
Of Massachusetts, in our great

sci the younger. Let reason rule.
Let not the fair Rme of wareham
be stained by the act Of an angry
mob.
Sympathy for Victim.
However deep our sympathy for
the Innocent victim of despicable
savages, let IL still be to the honor
and glory Of the good people Of

Women Have Just as Many

Doc Danforth. &

NEW YORK, June 25.--while fifty
fellow scientists sat on straw mats
under the pine trees at Cold Spring
Harbor, L. l., and listened attentively
yesterday, DR.. @. H Danforth scored
heavily for the literal accuracy of the
Bible in the passage where IL declares
that the very hairs of the head are
numbered.
The occasion was the ninth annual
meeting OF the Eugenics Research As
sociG ton. DR.. Danforth could speak as
one having authority because, he said.
for the last ten years he and an assist
ant have count<' hairs till they have
the records of mo persons.
Being scientists they wanted TO find
out II hair is hereditary. The answer
is that hair is.
Instead of counting the hairs of 1900
heads they enumerated facial and digi-
tai adornments. When they got through
DIR. Danforth said, they had found, out
that women have just as heavy boards
as men but their visibility is so much
lower that 1t took Or. Dantorth.s census
to bring this interesting fact to light
Also. the speaker declared, negroes
possess just as many facial hairs as
white folks.
Coming TO fingers, DR.. Daniorth said
nobody has hair on the outer phananx
the one where the finger-nails grow
and that the second phalanx Of the
fourth finger seems TO be the bne
that sets the pace. About three persons
In every four have hair there, and
