WOULD FIND WHAT
MAKES MEAT QUALITY
AGRICULTURAL STA
TIONS ARE COOPERATING
IN AN INVESTIGATION.

Twenty-nine state agricultural eX-
pertinent stations are cooperating to
learn what makes quality and palata-
bility in meat
Their discoveries are expected to
play an important part in the future
breeding OF live stock.
The experimental program is being
undertaken under the auspices of the
National Live Stock and Meat Board
of which Dean F. B. Mumford of the
University OF Missouri is chairman. 1t
has the approval of the U. S. Depart
ment OF Agriculture, agricultural col
1eges, the American Society of Animal
Production and the directors OF va
rious experiment stations.
No one experiment station is eX-
pected to attempt a solution OF the
problem, says Mumford but each will
take up some phase in which it is es-
pecially interested Subjects for inves-
tigation include feeding, breeding
methods OF slaughtering and curing
methods OF cooking and others.
The fundamental problem in this
study, it is pointed out, is the search
for a standard of measurement for
quality and palatability.

LOCUST WAR KILLS
THE PEST IN MEXICO
1000 TONS OF INSE rs DE-
STROYED TO PREVENT IN
VASION OF NEW AREAS.

MEXICO CITY.-A report from
the president OF the national junta for
the campaign against the locust indi-
Gates that the fight to prevent the in
vasion of hitherto free areas is prov
ing successful. The areas now infested
with the pest should be free by the
end OF the year.
1t is estimated that 80 per cent of
the pest has been destroyed, totaling
slightly in excess of 1000 tons of To-
Gusts, grasshoppers and eggs.
Efforts have been concentrated
largely in destroying the new genera
ton in the states where most damage
has been done, with view to pre-
venting invasion of the rich agricul-
tural states on the Pacific coast and
in the northwest, where for time it
was feared the locusts would spread.

shortly be abolished. The damage I'M
doubtedly will run into millions OF

each year with the 100000 Ameri-

Fred w. Patterson of Atlanta, who is
the retiring president OF the National

He estimates that S2,000.000.000 is
now buried under the turf in Ameri-
can cemeteries, exceeding the annual
output Of the worlds gold and silver

Average So
The jewelry that is buried, however,
is usually more OF sentimental rath-

Inmates that the average corpse is in

Wedding rings, cuff links and the

brooches, are lett on the corpse, Mr..
Patterson declared. In his twenty-five
years work as a mortician he has
known only one woman to be buried
with a valuable diamond brooch on
her person, and one man was buried
wearing an expensive scarf pin.
Watches are rarely buried with a

FISH MENANCED SAYS
COMMISSIONER TW|TTY
ONLY THE COOPERATION OF
LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS CAN
SAVE SUPPLY, HE SAYS.
BE CURIOSITIES IN 10 YEARS

Heavy Penalties Are Provided for
Seiners and Dynamiters Under the
New Law. State Offers Reward for
Capture OF Guilty.
Unless the law-abiding citizens OF
Georgia cooperate in the enforcement
.of the new fish protection laws passed
by the last session of the legislature
the time is near at hand when fish will
be curiosity in this state where they
abounded few years ago, according
to Peter S. Twitty, state game and
fish commissioner.
"A careful estimate OF the fish be-
ing caught today indicates that there
are only fourth as many as there
were decade ago in Georgia streams
At that rate of disappearance there
will be none at all in the next ten years.
1t is not difficult to figure out where
the fish have gone. In the years when
they were plentiful fishermen formed
the habit of seining the streams, or
trapping them, then selecting the mar
ketable ones and leaving the smaller
ones to die on the banks of the
There were others who followed the
more despicable habit OF dynamiting
streams
The situation became so serious that
the last legislature passed law pro-
hibiting the catching OF fish in any
manner except with a hook and line
for a period OF five years.
Will Pay Citizens $50.
ITO encourage private citizens in
their efforts to aid i'll the enforcement
of the fishing laws, this department
has arranged TO pay onc-half OF the
fine imposed upon a law violatol to
any citizen causing his arrest and CON
viction. The minimum fine for the
very unsportsmanlike custom of dy-
namiting fish is 500 and all court
costs, to which there can be added a
three months term in jail or Oh the
chain gang. The minimum penalty for
any other violation OF the fishing law
is SIS, to which a 30-day Jail or chain
gang sentence can be added.
In addition to participation in the
fine the state game and fish depart
ment hereby offers a reward of $50
for the arrest and conviction of any
person dynamiting fish, and of SIS
for any person violating any other
provision Of the new law,
The game and fish department
does not desire to discourage clean
and sportsmanlike fishing, by the va
cationist or the law-abidmg CONNER
cial fisherman, but it does intend to
stop the wanton and wasteful de
struction that has been going on for
years in Georgia, and that will con-
vert a fish into a curiosity in this state
il it is not slipped right away"

ALBANY, N. Y.-Dr. EmmeIine

day urged the people Of the state
to eat fish to combat corpulency.
Hot haddock would be healthier
than hot dogs, DR.. Moore said, add
ing, II fish were given hall the
publicity awarded the hot dog we
would all be lot healthier.
Fish makes for leanness," she
continued. Byron said he ate fish
three or four times a week to coun-
teract his tendency toward corpu-
lency."

rine fish contain iodine salts, min
eral important TO health, and that
oysters and clans are particularly
valuable for their iodine.
DR.. Moore's job is to keep the

Says. Financial Wizard" Finds All
OF His Work Discredited.


OF His Work Discredited.
PARIS, France.-Joseph Caillaux
came out from behind his smoke
screen today and sang his swan song
as finance minister
His head is now ready for the gull
lotine OF the political party which he
created.
What he said under monster tent
into the ears of 1900 local constituents
at Chateau-d u-Loir, a small town in
the Department of Sarthe, 1876 miles
southwest OF Paris, he might just al
well have handed out in a statement
at the finance ministry on the banks
OF the Seine in the Frenchh capital.
Ready to Return to Ranks.
After bemoaning for an hour the
financial miseries OF his country and
the ingratitude of everybody to him
self he wound up:
"As for myself | shall only be too
glad to return to the ranks and make
my voice heard in the senate, where
you sent me- | have experienced and
70 doubt shall again experience severe
trials
Il await fresh crowns Of thorns on
my still bleeding forehead What does
that matter? In our forests OF the
Sarthe there are some old oak trees
which lightning has struck, but still
they stand Like them shall stand
firm for our republic against reaction
aries OF the state and feudal lords OF
capitalism"
His discourse was such a speech as
could be expected from a tricky poll
tician who improvises daily and talks
of his plans, but has none except that
of expediency.
Associates Lose Patience.
For six months he has played horse
with everybody. Confronted at Wash
ington with statements he made in
London, he sidestepped. Urged by his
party associates TO make good his
claims as a finance expert, he has fed
them on platitudes until they no long
er have patience with him.
First and last with him has been
Cailaux and Callaux's political fu
ture.
Meantime nothing has been accom-
plished, the franc has kept on sinking
and disgust with his procrastinating
methods has accumulated in every
camp that has tried to follow his
shifting mentality. Instead of bring
ing the rabbit out of the magician's
hat he has brought his country to the

Seattle. Dec. 20 P~Flames which
shoot high in the air from pool
of cold, salty water, in Green river
canyon, SO miles southeast OF Seat
lie. are attracting much attention.
Water in the pool, which is about
six feet in diameter, sometimes sinks
almost out of sight. Then 1t rises,
troubled with the gas passing
through It, If a lighted match IS
thrown in whilo it is turbulent, fire
rises.
At times the eruptions are par

and sending flames 100 feet high.
At rare intervals the gcyser fails to
work at all. These variations have
not been explained.
A short distance from the geyser,
flames play for two weeks at time
over water which bubbles up be-
tween rocks in Il stream, Although
the water in the geysor pool is salty,
and contains many minerals. it Is
within ten feet of a perfectly fresh
brook. Sulphur and fresh water
springs are found nearby.
This phenomenon is near the bank
Of Green river, from which Tacoma
gets its water supply. Although ru-
mors of "watcr that burns" had been
spread by Indians and hunters, the
place was inaccessible until road
was built in last year.
