Just What President Coolidge Has Had to Do With Efforts
 Remains UndiSClOSed
POLITICAL DYNAMITE
 REMOVED FROM CAPITAL
This Is Prevailing sentiment in Administration Clrcles-PIaCing Credit For Ending Dispute Doubt less Will Come Up Later Bit Re joiclnS Now Is Paramount.

Washington, Feb. 1o Pt-Now here WAS the news of the approach of an anthracite peace apparently more welcome than in Washington.
 The strike has been a source Of embarrassment to the adminiStra- ton, a vehicle for bitter disscnsion on congress, and an enigma to the politicians

Mediators ot the labor department, however, have been di- rectly concerned in all of the nego- | tiatons for settlement, and during the last few days Secretary Davis has been carrying their reports 10 the White House regularly for con- sideration by the president What MT. Coolidge may have said or done remains undisclosed.
 In congress there has been an ever-inCreasinE demand for action by the federal government. S"natoT Copeland, Of New York, q democrat has taken the lead in this move ment, and he declared today that the constant pressure brought 10 bear upon the White House apparently had forced the hand of the admiuis- traton, Secretary Davis, tho New York senator said, had taken { prominent part fin the final stages O1 [ the negotiations after the scnate': request for action has been praCti.

are all exceedingly interesting. In
the early summer 100 miles OF per-

Annapolis Royal, which was

the college of veterinary science.
Over twice as many animals were Wis

We're inspected. Blood examinations
We're made on several thousand chick
ems, while 5159 tests on material such
as tissues were made in pathological
work, exclusive of the tests on
chickens.
Many physicians and stock owners
send in material for diagnosis. One
of the most interesting cases was that
in which man sent in samples of
meat to be analysed. The results
proved that he had seen sold elk meat
as a substitute for beef.
These examinations of various ma
terials and animals come from all over
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British
Columbia. The above figures do not
include any Of the work which has
been done this year.
