Meat Consumption
Falls as Prices Rise
During Past Year
BY International Labor News Service.

BY international Labor News Service.
Washington. ID. C., Sept 30,--The
American people now are eating less
meat than they did either In 1924 or
1923. Their consumption Is above
1929 and previous years, however The
apparent meat consumption Is estlmat-
ed from figures gathered by the De-
partment Of Agriculture In it's meat
inspection work.
What the cause of the falling con-
sumption may be Is hard to determine
definitely. However, IL has eoincided
with rising prices which have taken
place within the last year and prob
ably this circumstance Is one cause.
Pork is the most popular meat in
this country. Two years ago pork
prices were very low. They made
some recovery by 1924 and now stand
at about the best level since war time.
Pork consumption has shown some
falling off along with price gains.
The gains in other meat prices have
not been so marked as in pork, but
the prices still show appreciably above
the prices Of q year ago.

for a constitutional amendment, TO
be voted on September 20.

will not apply to them, and efforts are

PRICE Of MEAT

prices by as muCa as two cents a
was learned by tie royal commits.
sion on food prices, made after sew
eral months investigation under the
Craftsmanship of Sir Auckland
Geddes. former British Ambassador
at Washington.
The commission urged the forma-
ton Of a food council of twelve
members with a sqldried chairman,
on which the practical housewife
would be represented. The council
would act as watchdog on prices"
and deal with nonopolles and
trusts
Larger profits are made on i'm
ported meat than Ol English meat,
the commission found. while i'm
ported meat is frequently sold as
home killed meat.
Make Recommendations
The commission made the fol.
lowing recommendations regarding
the meat trade.
All retail butchers should be
registered.
Gold storage proprietors should
furnish statistics Of their stocks.
THE food council should closely
| watch the Argentine meat trade,
since it may become necessary for
the government to intervene either
by acquiring a controlling interest
in British companies operating in
Argentina or in some other way if
at any time the supply of chilled
| and frozen meat to this country
should come to be dominated by
adverse trading combinations"
Housewives received the commits,
siOn's report, a document of 200
pages, with scorn. They had been
led to believe that the commission
would alleviate high prices imme-
diately and found instead that
they were only recommending the
setting up of another committee.

COURT CLEARED
HIM BEFORE
HIS. DEATH
Alvin H. Davis, Killed in Crash,
Had Been Acquitted on
Staying Charge

Alvin H. Davis, of d street
southeast. victim of a strange trick
of fate, today rests among the ma
tons heroes in Arlington National
Cemetery, freed by death from the
| false accusations and the legal
muddle that terminated in a late
exoneration from the blame for the
death of a man.
Following the discovery of the
body of Harold Hainsworth on
Pennsylvania avenue extended south
east. on the night of July Is, 1924.
Davis was arrested, held by a coro-
ner's jury and later indicted.
Through the long months that
elapsed between the turns of the
wheels of justice, Mr.. Davis lived
secure in the belief that his inno-
cence would prevail. But the
shadow of the indictment hung over
him.
Last April, the case was brought
to trial before Justice Siddons in
the District Supreme Court.
When the testimony had been
completed, the Judge directed the
jury to acquit Mr.. Davis on the
ground that the Government had
failed to present evidence worthy
of a conviction.
So the charge of manslaughter
was erased and the accused man
walked out of the courthouse, free.
He enjoyed but a brief victory.
On July II. at Pennsylvania avenue
and Branch road, near the spot
where, last year, he came upon
Hainsworth's body, Mr.. Davis mo-
torcycle struck a tree and he was
fatally injured. He died last Fri
day at Casualty Hospital.
In the caption and subcaption Of
Mr.. Davis picture which appeared
last Saturday in the columns in this
newspaper, no cognizance was taken
of the fact that the courts had de-
cided definitely upon Mr.. Davis in
nCcence.
The Washington Times today
wishes to call especial attention to
the facts in the case.
