"There was good demand for al

Dealers in Kansas City look Tor a

commended today by A. y. Anderson
IN his article On dairying.
Production exceeds demand slightly.
according 10 Mr.. anderson. who II
head Of the government bureau Of
crops and livestock estimates here.
The report issued by the stats.
tician follows In part;
"Dalrying has increased since 1921
because It was relatively more pros.
porous than certain other types OF
farming. Milk cows increased from
as.5s4. 900 head In 1921 to 24.s75,ooo
at present. Consumption of dairy
products increased II per cent from
1919 to 1923 and available data shows
an increase in 1928 also.
Nebraska has shared fully In the
general expansion of the dairy In
dustry. The state had sol 900 milk
cows In 1921 and at present there are
5s7, 900 head. This is an increase of
nearly II per cent as compared to
less than 5 per cent for the entire
country.
Dairy production. expressed in
terms of milk. exceeds consumption
slightly.
Surplus production OF dairy prod
ucts in foreign countries reached pre-
war levels in 1922 and a further in
crease was made last year.
Production of creamery butter has
increased $1,000, 900 pounds annually
for~the last five years. About the
same increase is expected this year
from the increased number of dairy
cows. The per capita consumption
of butter is up to prewar levels, and
the same is true regarding cheese.
Stocks of condensed milk were very
large at the beginning of the year.
On the other hand, there is an in
creased demand in cities for the ice
cream and milk drinks. Also the de-
mand for milk in city distribution has
increased per cent during the last
two years.
I'm summarizing. it must be re-
membered that the last year was one
of great industrial activity and con-
sumer demand was heavy. While the
general situation now does not appear
disadvantageous to efficient produc-
ers, there are possibilities of increased
imports and lower profits. Although
consumption is increasing, this is not
a time for undue expansion, but
rather for greater efficiency.

Pittsburgh. Pa, April -. - Fifty

These bacteria. Mr.. Bender says,

they sulk, get thin and die. Some

on choice bits of liver. Not a

HeadIey Orders Policemen to
Cease Defacing Car
Bodies.

Washington motorists will be
protected against triffic police
men, who, upon their own re-
sponsibility, are chalk-marking the
bodies of automobiles in their
campaign to "time" parking with
a view toward making arrests.
HeadIey Orders Stop.
Inspector Albert J. Headley, chief
of traffic in the city, said today
that the only chalk marks which
will be tolerated are those put on
automobile tires.
Inspector Headley further declared
that placing OF chalk marks on
spare tires on the back of cars is
not according to instructions given
officers.
Despite orders which Inspector
Headley says he has issued. traffic
policeman early this morning, az.
cording to a number of motorists
who reported to The Washington
Times, went the entire length of the
block on the north side OF New
York avenue between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets, merrily defacing
every automobile with heavy chalk
! marks.
Motorists Protest.
Point was made by the complain
| ing motorists that when traffic
officers are permitted to p.'rnla
nently deface automobiles Ivy chalk
marks of this character that tho
motorist has no protection from
arrest so long as he keeps his
| automobile within the restricted
! area.
For instance" one motorist sale
today, Should / remove my cal
| from one portion Of the restricted
zone after it has been "chalked'
to another where the policeman il
employing the same system, the
latter may take it for granted thai
it is his own "chalking" and cause
my arrest.
| 1T is we'll known that a dea1
ear is uniformly given alibis Of
the motorist and l would have nj
redress. despite the fact l woulC
be victim of the, vicious chalkine
| system"
Inspector Headley said today tha
the traffic policemen are using Other
methods than chalking, such as TAX
ing numbers. but it was noticed
by a representative Of The Wash
ington Times today that the Officer
on duty on New York avenue wa.
relying entirely on his chalk" sys

any notation Of license tags.
1t was indicated today that motor

Mr.. Fox. much put out, began
raving that there was a good con.

Little Johnnie, playing on the
floor, looked at the old cat, snooz-

cred up the cat. took it to his
grandmother, and asked her "if
these things on each side of the
cats face are not whiskers?"
When she answered yes" he
ran, with the cat in his arm, and
asked his father for his knife.
Father, not thinking, handed the
youngster the knife. Johnnie put
old pus3 in his mothers lap and
asked her to hold the animal.
She did so, and he started to cut
off the cats whiskers. His
father and mother, Mortified, up.

answer was that daddy wanted

concert" and he thought that a
