Miss WEIGH dropped like a dead

parachute very slowly opened and the

She hit the ground with a Jolt but was

1t was proud young woman who

hundreds who crowded around her for
her daring act. But Miss WEIGH says
that she isn't sure that she wants to
jump from airplanes for a living. The

ports Of changes on the farm should
Include reports Of births, deaths,
losses, marketings, purchases, and
animals bred, with periodical classi-
1lcations Of the numbers Of animals
on farms. This service will be an
expansion Of experimental work car
ried on by the division Of crop and
live stock estimates during the last
three or four years. Monthly reports
will be obtained from 10000 to 1O0,-
900 farms, and state indexes Of
changes at least for the corn belt,
and eastern and southern states will
be developed. The range states on
cattle and sheep will be covered by
q series Of semi.annual reports be-
cause Of the difficulty Of getting
monthly reports from those states.
Information to Be Given. !.
The forecasting and reporting Of the
important live stock movements will
be based upon the movement Of feeder.
cattle and lambs from the range states
to the corn belt feed lots, the move
ment from the feed lots to market,
the movement into the eastern feed
lots such as Lancaster, Pa, and the
movement out, the forecasting and
estimating Of the yearly lamb and
calf crop Of the range states, and
estimates Of the feeder hog move
ment in the Middle West. A careful
study Is now being made Of possible
methods for gathering and reporting
this information.
At conferences held to develop a
live stock reporting program, repre-
sentatives Of farmers organizations,
cooperative live stock shipping al.
sociations, the packing establishments,
and other live stock interests were
present. Many large live stock pro-
ducers' associations in the West have
also indicated q desire to cooperate.

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRE HMALp.
New York Herald Bureau
Washington, d. c., July 8.
The hearing scheduled before the De-
partment Of Justice next Thursday on
the legality Of the sale of intoxicants
on vessels of American registry will
take the form of battle royal between
the vets and the drys In view of the
preparations being made by both sides
it is probable that the hearing will ex-
tend over several days.
Advocates of the sale Of liquor on
American ships are confident Of their
stand being sustained by Attorney-Gen-
eral Daugherty. They base this conf
dence on the recent decision of the Su-
prcme Court and on former interpre-
tation by the Department Of Justice.
At the same time the dry forces under
the banner of Wayne B. Wheeler, gem
eral counsel Of the Anti-Saloon League,
are marshaling their forces and dozens
OF organizations representing churches
have asked that they be permitted to
register their protest against the stand
taken BIZ the Shipping Board.
The Shipping Board side of the con-
troversy likely will be argued by Elmer
Schlesinger, counsel of the board, who
Lasker acted when he authorized an
American wet fleet.
Tho legal department Of the prohibi-
ton unit also will present its side of
the case. The matter was referred to
the Department Of Justice on the initia-
tlon Of Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes after his own counsel had issued
a ruling which to some extent sus-
tained the position taken by the ship
ping board. 1t was after Commissioner
Haynes realized that the ruling from his
own unit left the way open for the prac-
tice installed by Chairman Lasker that
he requested Secretary OF the Treasury
Mellon to ask Attorney-General Daugh-
erty for decision that would be final
Chairman Lasker and Commissioner
Haynes arc willing TO abide by whatever
the decision of the Department OF JUS
tice may be. The chances are now said
to be In favor of the Shipping Board.
Daugherty Is deter
mined to go into the case thoroughly. II
will be some time after both sides have
been heard before a decision Is given by
the department.
From the names Of the organizations
that the Anti-Saloon League has called
to register their protests II is apparent
that Mr.. Wheeler is mobilizing dry senti- |
ment on a large scale. On the other
