VALUE OF NECESSARY

SHOWN

DIR. ]. p. Iversou, chief of the Divis-
ion of Animal Industry, State Depart.
ment of Agriculture, states that al
though not often realized, it would be
impossible for us in California, or in
fact anywhere in the United States to
engage in any branch of the livestock
business as now conducted if certain
diseases that are prevalent in foreign
countries such as, rinderpest, foot-and-
mouth disease rs well as other serious
animal diseases were allowed to gain
entrance to our country. The ravages
Of limited attakc Of foot and mouth
disease in the United States is still
fresh in our memory and, thanks to q
vigorous campaign and drastic quaran-
tine regulations, the disease was Grad
icated before it could permanently es-
tablish itself on American soil. Quar-
antine regulations prevented this dis
ease entering the state of California. 1t
extended to many northern, eastern,
and middle western states where it was
necessary to call special sessions of the
various legislatures to appropriate tre-
mendous sums of money to be used as
emergency funds. This procedure was
necessary in order to stamp out the in
fection before it gained Il foothold to
such an extent that the battle against
it would have become hopeless.

Oakland Tribne Mrs. Katherine
Phillips Edison, secretary of the indus
trial welfare commission, who was one
of the four women selected as members
of auxiliary committee of the disarm-
ament conference, brings back Il good
story that so far has not found its
way into print. The locale is the press
gallery while one of the public sessions
of the conference was in full opera
tion. Secretary Hughes had made his
address and Mr.. Balfour had been
heard and both had concluded to the
accompaniment of round after round
of applause and cheering. There WAS
a lnll for Il moment. Something had
gone wrong with the set program Evi-
IDENTIFY it had not been planned who
would next take the floor. The crowd
was restive and impatient. There was
some hesitation and then someone
called for BRAND. The French premier
made no sign. The cries were taken
up all over the auditorium. There was
Il continuous demand for "Briand, -
"Briand.' Of course n name like this
sounds slightly different when it is
shouted by a thousand throats and so
it took an altered tone in the press
gallery. There sat William Jennings
Bryan. AS the calls for BRAND became
more insistent they mnst have sounded
to him like '.Bryan. At any rate,
as the distinguished Frenchman made
no sign that he heard, Bryan half
raised himself up. Mrs. Edison told an
assemblage at Temple Emanuel that
everyone near at hand thought the
CommonGrI was about to rise and ac-
knowledge a tribute. Just before he
was ableE actually to stand, however,
BRAND gravely took the floor and be-
gan the few brief remarks that char
acteriZed his sentiments on that occas-
ion. All who saw the situation agreed
that 4 fauv pas of the worst possible
kind had been narrowly avertcd.

large cities of the United States.
Rapken is an apartment house
owner. When he advertises Il vacant
apartment, it reads: "No objection to
children"
But that ism t half of it. The follow
ing is also included in the advertise
ment, which, you may believe, seldom
has reason to appear: During ten

such months. -
"Children are the greatest thing in
life,' said Rapken when questioned
concerning his astounding traits as a
landlord. Zone CT the ways i judge
a man s character, is to find out wheth-
er he is married, whether he likes
children, and is a father.

Conflicting Speculative

Conflicting speculative influences
swayed prices at the New York Stock
Exchange yesterday. The trend was
irregular, and, as on recent days. rail
road shares and industrials continued
20 move in opposite directions. While
the average price OF twenty repre-
sentative railroad shares declined from
74l5 TO 1855. that Of thirty indus
trials climbed from 9l.60 TO 300.
Uncertainties as to the effect Of the
freight cut on earnings. threats OF a
STRIKE against the new wage reduction
and the Supreme Court decisions
affecting Southern Pacific and the
Reading have contributed TO the selling
Of railroad issues. Among industrial
shares the standard issues were
relatively quiet. Speculative pools
