MEAT PRODUCTION
 RECORDS BROKEN
Estimated 1S,4S1, ,OO0,0O Pounds
 Consumed In America

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Produc- ton and consumption of meat was the greatest in American history last year. An estimate today by the department of agriculture placed the consumption at IS, ,4S1 ,0O0, GOO pounds. Detailed esti- matestof production, however, were not made public.
 The per capita consumption was 167 pounds, or IFS pounds more than 1922. Ninety per cent of the increase was represented by pork products.
 Beef consumed during the year to- tailed 6,S16, GOO, 900 pounds; veal, S73,- COG, 1000; mutton and lamb, 574 4,000, 900 !; goat meat, 100000, and pork, 10,- 113,OO0,000 pounds. The per capita consumption was: Beef, 62.5 pounds ; veal, 7.9; mutton and lamb, 5.2, and work, excluding lard, 91.4 pounds. Lard consumption was 16.4 pounds per capita.
 The meat exports for the year were 969,OOO.OOO pounds, an increase of 226,- 100000 pounds over the preceding year. All but .35,000,00 pounds of the meat exported was pork. Lard exports broke all records, the best buyer being Ger many, which took 37S,54S,OO pounds and padi for it $46,590,OO0, a large sum considering the value of the mark. Previously the British had been the best customers for our lard. C,
 ''The great increase in meat produc- tion and consumption was made possi- ble because of the prolificacy and rapid growth of the hog" the department of agriculture said. ''The severe depres- sion of 1920-21, when raising hogs was losing business, was followed in 1922 by rising prices and big surplus of corn. Thus was brought about a heavy increase in the number of hogs, the number estimated to have been slaugh- tered in 1923 being 81 ,532. GOO. Pre- vious to last year the highest slaughter had been 70,054. 800, a record made in 1A1R" '

SIMPLICITY@TO { MARK WOMEN'S
 STYLES OF 1924

LONDON, Feb. 27.--Boyish sim. plicity> will be the predominant note in women's styles for 1924. The English Fashion Mentors and Dress makers have decreed. Short, semi fitting gowns falling straight down the figure, will be worn with turn down white Eton collars and turn back cuffs. The natural contour of the body will be subordinated in order to achieve youthful, boyish straightness and angularity. The women will be practically without any waists. <
 A further touch of masculinity will be imparted by the adoption of b0bbed hair for single women, while married ones will wear their hair well plastered down on the head. All raS a
 Frocks will be a few inches shorter but there will be no return to the "just below the knee" skirt.

 FOR INVESTIGATION
Decision Probably Re sponsible For Stop
 ping Probe

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Investi- gation by committee of leading statis- ticians of methods of compiling cotton crop and stock estimates by the census bureau has been determined upon by Secretary Hoover, who announced to- night that the committee would be in structed to study all phases of the con- troyersy arising from the cotton stock estimates of last August by the bureau.
 Mir. Hoover's action followed a con- ference earlier in the day with group of southern senator's. headed by Sena- tor Smith, of South Carolina, who later announced that resolution he had in- tended introducing calling for a sena- torial investigation would be withheld for the present. The senator said he had found an apparent discrepancy in the August estimates, the result of which was to add 610OOO bales to the "carry over" for 1923-1924.
 The committee will be asked to study the problem of handling the figures and to suggest such legislation as may seem to increase the authority of the bu- Ieuu. MT. IioOScr Sdiu tndt since the contention had arisen it was proper to have it gone into independently and ac. curately.

On BOb-Haired Wives

Dear Martha Lee: I am a young mar
ried woman with a "bobbed head" I
honestly do not like it, although I think I
saying much. There are a few who really
look well. but they are of the baby doll
type and not the average girl or woman.
/ think il is Just because Misery loves
company that SO many say they are
crazy about their hobs. They are so sorry
that they want to see others in the same
boat.
There are so many who were nice-look-
ing before cutting their hair and are down
right homely now. And IL they thought it
made them look better i'll the eyes of the
men I believe they made a mistake. Men
who admire bobbed hair are few in num-
Der. especially among men who have bob
haired wives.
/ think this style surely has caused a
lot OF family rows. Hardly a friend of
mine that has bobbed hair, but has not a
row with her husband. before and after.
