was the finding of hawk-the only

at least.

such numerous opportunities that he

this interesting animal may not be-

Beef Is FaUOred
Ouer AL Meats;
Pork Runs Second
Fe,U Housewives Able to
Recognize Many Cuts,
Surrey DiscIQses..

Beef is preferred over other meats
on about 60 per cent of the country's
dinner tables. but the average house
keeper can recognize only a few OF
the many cuts, the Department of
Agriculture has found In a survey of
the retail meat industry and con-
sumner buying habits.
Three of every five families visited
by department agents in 10 widely
separated cities rated beef as the
most popular. Pork was given
second place by poor families, while
weIl-to-do people put lamb next to
beef. Veal was not generally men
toned except by Italians, who rated
1t the equal of beef
Most of the housewives were
three steaks and the average number
of roasts they could identify was
less than two.
The investigators learned that
while buyers generally were attract
ed by quality of meat more than any
other feature of butcher shop. 43
per cent of the native white fam
lilies bought from the nearest dealer.
Only 25 per cent? patroniZed shops
five blocks or more distant.
Quoting figures on 1928 conditions,
and covering limited number of
dealers, the report said the average
consumer dollar netted the meat
dealer only IL cents profit. the meat
costing 1856 cents and other expenses
totaling 1917.

cost s7s,5o0. This is an increase of
$4,000 for apparatus. The depart
ment wanted another new fire house
for the vicinity of upper Sixteenth
street. but this will have to be de-
ferred for consideration next year.
New Type Fire House.
1t was learned today that, one OF
the two new houses authorized In the
current act will be the first bungalow
typ, engine house in Washington.
The house is to be erected at Con-
duit road and Reservoir street. and,
since that is community of sub
urban homes. the fire chief and Munic-
inal Architect Harris, decided to make
it conform in design to the sur
rounding residences.
With the dormitory on the same
floor with the apparatus, the new
station will be devoid of the shiny,
brass pole which has been symbolic
OF fire engine houses for years. The
tower In which the hose is suspended
to dry after a fire will be made an
ornamental feature Of the new house.
Plans also are being drawn for a
new truck house at Florida avenue
and Orren street northeast, which
likewise will he designed In more
modern fashion than tho old truck
houses. Instead of having one large
dormitory upstairs this house may
have a number of small rooms with
two or three men to room.
Aerial Truck Provided.
The current appropriation act pro-
vides for one aerial truck, three en-
gines and one chiefs car. The new
estimates recommend one aerial
truck, four engines, two hose wagons
and two chiefs cars.
The estimate for the purchase Of
hose was reduced from $50, 900 in the
current act to $4,000 for next year.
The Fire Department, however. rec
commended this reduction, pointing
out that not so much new hose will
be needed next year.
The new budget provides for an In
crease of "a officers and l27 addt-
tIonal privates for the department.
This addition to personnel Will make
il possible to man the two new COM
panies that will be placed In service
next Summer. and also will make IT
possible to give all members of the
department. one day off week, as
authorized by Congress at the last
session.
