women and children would be assured,
under the plan, of their customary Nv
ing during the Winter months.
woods said persons of fixed income
and savings who could afford to make
purchases could stimulate business by
making purchases now. He added, how
ever. It was too much to expect people
who have little or no money to make
purchases of things which were not

buying would not only aid industry but
tend toward relieving the unemploy-
nent situation.
Protest Golden Gate Bridge.
woods said he had received protest
from San Francisco over his statement
relative to the voting bonds for con-
struction Of a bridge across Golden
Gate. The protest said the construc-
ton of the bridge would deprive 1000
men working on the ferries crossing
San Francisco Bay of their jobs.
Woods pointed out he had not In
dorsed any bond issue In particular, but
had asked the leaders in the various
communities Of 20 States to study the
issues to determine whether they should
be supported.

Material For Meat Consumers

Texas is one OF the leading livestock states OF
America. Meat consumers are numerous in Texas.
Six million mouths consume a vast quantity Of
meatstuffs. William Whitfield Woods Of Chicago Is
president Of the Institute Of Meat Packers. He an
peared before their convention and declared that
most meats are wholesaling now from one-fourth to
one-third lower than a year ago. Decline in beef
prices compared with a year ago run from 20 to 80
per cent. varying according to grade and weight.
Veal prices are from IS to 20 per cent lower than a
year ago. Wholesale price Of lamb. which reached
the lowest level since 1914 in September are still very
low and "at present is about 80 per cent lower. than
October 1929" He said the aggregate production OF
meat for the year would probably be smaller than
IN 1929 and volunteered the information that stocks
OF meat in cold storage on Oct. l were 26 per cent
lower than Oct. /, 1929. Speaking for the consumers
OF meat, are they receiving the benefits Of the whole
sale price levels? Merely for information. you know.

then a newspaper photographer snapped a f~lashlight
the ends eyes were dazzled and he failed to make the

Officials descended on the photographer wrath
fully, loudly denunciatory. But the photographer
calmly remarked that they ought to play in the day

lights: and it seems to us that there is a good deal
OF justice in his remark
Night football was not designed for the players. but
for the spectators. When a college football game Is
played at night it is a pretty fair sign that 1t is a
spectacle rather than a sport. A photographer who
d~isregards the players convenience in order to get a
picture is not SHINING against the sport half as much
as the official who scheduled the game for the eve
