FATTER THIS YEAR
Will Have $50, ,OOO,0 900 More
to Spend in 1926 Due to Bet
ter Prices for Animals.

BY j. G. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 2S.-Approxi-
mately 70,150,000 cattle, calves, hoss
and sheep will have been con-
verted into meat and meat PROD
ucts before the year Is over.
That is the estimate made TO-
day by packing house authorizes,
based on the slaughterings or the mrs.
10 months of the year. This total VIII
approximate closely to that or !SZo.
when 9,S53,20O cattle, 5,553,2OO calves,
1850. 900 hogs and approximately 1z'-
600 900 sheep were dressed.
The number of hogs dressed so far
this year has not been SO great as in
the first 10 months of 1925, but their
weight has been greater, owing to the
relatively large corn supplies available
for feeders. Beef, veal, mutton and
lamb have shown slight increases.
The figures above are based on
slaughterings in plants under F'edefai
inspection, which account for approx
mately twothirds of the meat pro
duced.
Hog Price Average Higher.
The average price for hogs today
is about II pea cent higher than 1t
was a year ago. But god and choice
beef cattle are lower than in October,
1925. when the supply was smaller
The sum paid to the producers OF live
stock this year has exceeded the
amount distributed during the cor
responding period of 1925 by about
$50 100000. Wholesale meat prices
now are approximately at the same
levels as obtained a year ago. Good
and choice grades of beef are lower J,
but some pork cuts, including fresh
loins, are higher.
Exports of meat products have
fallen off about 10 per cent, according
to Government figures. for the f1rst
eight months of the year and values
have shown similar decline. For
example, total meats and meat prod
ucts shipped to September / amount
ed to 339, ,300,106 pounds, valued at
s7O,262, 1888, as compared with 429.
327 1863 pounds, worth $50, 1852 ,156, in
1925.
Conditioning Cost Less.
These figures in the main are salts
factory from the point of view of busi-
ness throughout the country. The
forage crops In general do not indicate
rs high a return to growers as they
did last year, but when turned into
wheat the profit side of the ledger
looks much brighter. Not only has
$50 900, 900 more than last year been
paid to live stock growers, but the
conditioning of the animals they have
marketed cost them much less than
in previous seasons. However. the
improvement over the returns of last
year will not be so large as to be
startling, though it would seem to in
dicate stability of buying power in
the West and Middle West, which is
most encouraging.

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
The Constable" :"

Strange are the ways of words,
And what enlightenment lies in a
glimpse into their origin, what inter-
esting, amusing, sometimes shocking
stories the history of their syllables
has to tell, There is indeed a shock in
store for the dignified. perhaps pomp-
Gus, constable, so full of the impor-
tance of his exalted position, when he
learns the origin of his title.
The word "consta BILE" comes from
the Latin comes stabuli,' meaning
companion of the stable" or stall at
tendant'. Hence the constable was
originally an equerry,
In olden times. when it was nobility
and royalty that was served, menial
service assumed dignity and honor. So
in the monarchical establishments of
the middle ages the constable was a
high officer. His office and his func-
tions were extended in various Wavs
until, in France. we find the Constable
of France as the first officer of the
crown, with entire charge of the army.
That office was suppressed in 1927,
but in England to this day we find
constableships of various degrees of
honor and importance. May that
prove consoling to our own constable
who may have been hurt IN pride by
our revelation of the origin of his
name!

Parisians are either too bored or TOO

An exquisite little almond-eyed

slippers, and her head is lightly COW

she holds so as partly to hide eX'
ouisite features. No doubt she Is
Hindoo of wealth and fashion-but no

For Summer frG.cks capes are made
of the same material as the frock,

ard? Are you mad to call them up at
this hour"
His face was impassive.
'If Jean is carrying on in this
fashion. Conrad should know. I'm
going to find out if he knows where
she was tonight
Florence twisted her hands together
This was terrible, What would hap
pen if he discovered that Jean had
been at home all evening? She fairly
held her breath as the call went
through. and then. as she watched
Richard S face and heard what he was
saying, her panic gave way to bewil-
derment.
You say she left this afternoon.
presumably to spend the night in Bos-
ton? Well, have reason to believe
that she did no such thing. She was
seen at the Red Lion Tavern. No, I
don't know who was with her. unless
it was Merton Thorne. I've seen them
together before, but / hated to tell
you about it. ! wouldn't have told
YOU tonight if / didn't think the affair
had gone far enough. The police broke
in there tonight and there might have
been q nasty scandal
AS she stood there fairly swaying
/ on her feet, Florence had a mad i'm
pulse to stop Richard and tell him the
truth. She couldn't let Jean be i'm
plicated like this. it was too horrible.
And Conrad. too. He was her brother
and he loved Jean. II might break up
their marriage.
AS she hesitated. however, Richard
| hung up the receiver.
Conrad is almost crazy. Where do
YOU suppose she is now? Can you
think Of any one to call UP, any place
where she might Go?'
| Florence shook her head slowly.
She's fairly intimate with Elsie
! Grange, but l don't think she could be
| there. Anyway. it's not our affair
| Jean isn't a child; she's a married
woman. Let Conrad take charge Of
/ thinGs-he's her husband"
Even while she spoke the words she
was bitterly ashamed of herself. She
had never intended things to go as
| far as this. She had never dreamed
| that Richard would tell Conrad. and
| Vet she could see how he would feel
| in the matter if she had stopped to
think. But there hadn't been time TO
| think She had been fairly swept into
this thing and her one idea had been
to save herself. But was she safe?
When Jean returned tomorrow, what
then? 1t would be the simplest thing
in the world to produce an alibi to
prove where she had been, and then
what? Merton, too. He would be
drawn into the matter. Would he
keep silent to protect her or would
he tell the truth? She couldn't be
sure. She couldn't be sure of any
thing.
