Cost Of Marketing Meat.

THE butcher may be known one of these days
as the "Slicician," or perhaps the "Meatts
Cutteur," If the charge for a few passes of the
knife and hearty clip or two with cleaver
is to continue as high as it was recently
found to be by G. B. Denman, a member Of
the Federal Farm Board.
Addressing the Maryland Agricultural Society,
Mr.. Denman told of his experience. one day
recently, in selling some hogs in the ST. Louis
market for $9.40 a hundredweight.
Later in the day, he purchased pork chops
and found that they could be had at IS cents
a pound in the whole piece or 35 cents sliced.
The cost of .slicing, 10 cents pound, repre-
sented for 100 pounds. more than he received
for the whole hog per hundredweight.
A similar condition prevailed in the case
of mutton, when he was forced to pay seven
times as much pound for mutton chops as
he received for his fat sheep.
Mr.. Denman believes that through CO.
operative marketing the spread between pro-
ducer and consumer may be reduced

Investigated oneyP Production

THE Federal Government is out to put tia
"bee" in business
The decennial census which is to start April
1, will be used as a vehicle in finding out just
what the honey production of this country
amounts to. The Government, in order to foster
the trade and give to the producer the benefit
of its experiments In bee culture and its IN
formation market conditions, wants to know
just how many beekeepers there are, how many
colonies each keeper has, how much honey
he produces and so ON.
In the past 10 years there has been COM
siderable change In the beekeepng industry.
Farmers now in many instances rent, for small
sums, out-of-the-way corner on the farm
to a beekeeper who lives in the neighboring
city. He knows little or nothing and probably
cares less about the extent of the business.
This means that any effort to check through
the farmer is useless, so the Federal officials
will seek their information direct The honey
trade has become important but just how inn
portant it is no one seems to know.

Topping the effects Of Anglo-Saxon agrees
siveness has come the tremendous force of
America, whose vigor has boiled out over the

pleasure seeking travellers. American oil cans,

tap the golden stream of American spending
have realized that the first requisite was to
learn how to understand us when we said How

IN the last few years the pace at which the

been accelerated by the postwar growth Of

MOTION REVIEWS
HOWARD'S HISTORY
Educator Is Speaker at
Charter Day Exercises
at University.

The founding of Howard University
for the PRONUNCIATION of classical edu-
cation in 1867 and its association with
Hampton Institute, founded for voea-
tional training in 1868, was reviewed
by DR.. Robert Russo Motion at the
Charter day exercises of Howard Uni
yersity yesterday.
Gen. o. o. howard. commissioner of
the Freedmens Bureau. at the close of
the Civil War, aided in the establish
ment of both institutions. Dr. Motion
said. Gen. Samuel Chapman Arm
strong was assigned by Gen. Howard
to direct activities for the benefit of
the Negro race in the territory of Vir-
ginia and conceived the idea Of a school
as medium for the solution of freed
mems problems.
Howard Takes Presidency.
The presidency of Howard was Of
fered to Gen. Armstrong. He declined
and Gen. Howard assumed the Office
Both men considered vocational and
scientific training necessary. Hampton
Institute, however, developed crafts
manship, while Howard contributed to
professional and classical education.
DR.. Motion deplored the contention
that surrounded the development of the
two types of education. 1t is a conceded
fact today, the speaker declared. that
both types o. schooling are essential to
the betterment OF any race. There is
room for development of brains and
skill for those needs which contribute
to intellectual and spiritual progress,
DR.. Motion advised.
Garry Responsibilities.
'The Negro DR.. Motion declared, us
situated in the midst of an advanced
civilization which has required in the
aggregate thousands of years for les de-
velopment.
In spite of our limited opportuni-
ties" DR.. Motion said, Negroes are
measured by the same Standards carry
the same responsibilities and in spite of
all handicaps are expected to meet the
competition of larger wealth. greater
numbers. more favorable opportunities
and unlimited resources.
IF the Negro survives in such a sit
uation it must be only as he secures for
himself every medium and instrument
of advancement possessed by those
around him"

"Mr. Mills designed, in Baltimore, st. Paul's

Is said to have been surmounted by dome.
These constructions were in 1916. as appears
in his pocket memorandum book for that year
The same year he designed the Court House
at Richmond and some part at least OF the
work on the monument In the Capitol Grounds.
sGNER MILLS designed the Washington
Ava Monument in Baltimore It created en-
thusiasm throughout the States and gave to
the Maryland city the name Monumental City.
The cornerstone was laid July 4, 1915. The
entire civil and military population of Balti-
more turned out on this interesting occasion.
The city was literally emptied of its inhabi-
tants to witness the joyous scene of laying
the first stone of the first monument dedicated
to the Father of His Country At the cere-
monies Mr.. Mills replied
"'The honor sir you have been pleased to

native talent in the choice of a design for the
work.
THE statue was executed by Caucici and
was put in place November IS, 1922 under the
direction of Mr.. Mills. It was considered an
unusual feat"
Upon the return Of Mills to South Carolina
In 1920 he located in Charleston and was
made a member Of the Board of Public Works
of that city. He became deeply interested and
highly active in the making of canals and roads
and all that which tended to advance naviga-
ton and travel
Mr. Charles C. Wilson of the University of
South Carolina, in writing of Robert Mills, tells
us that "the only building now standing in
Columbia which is unquestionably by Mills is
the first of the group of the Hospital for the
Insane, erected in 1922
MIR. Mills himself mentions two of his build
ings in Charleston-the Public Record Building
in the City Hall Square and the Baptist
Church. OF the latter, he says: THE Baptist
Church exhibits the best specimen of correct
taste in architecture of the modern buildings
in this CITY, 1t is purely Greek in its style,
simply grand in its proportions and beautiful

divided into four parts-the portico, vestibule,
nave and Vestry rooms. The whole length of
the building is ITO feet and breadth so 4" $.
This building is situated on Church, below
Tradd street"
MR.. MILLS Is said by his biographers to
have been singularly self-overlookng, for,
while he could plainly see the merits of Others
he could not very plainly see the superiority of
his own creations.
On July g. 1880, President jackson appointed
Mills as architect to aid in forming the plans.
making proper changes therein from time to
time, and seeing to the erection Of the
buildings in substantial conformity to the plans
hereby adopted"
The new buildings the Treasury De-
partment and the Patent Office, for which his
salary from the beginning 81, 800 year
and gradually increased to $4,000. 1t was
under this appointment that Mills had super
vision of the Capitol-1836 to 1851-and during
that time he availed himself Of the opportunity
to improve the acoustics Of the Hall of Repre-
sentatives. He raised the floor to the level Of
that of the rotunda and placed a partition in
the colonnade concentrically. What the acoustic
peculiarities were before the correction can
cause wonder, now that echoes are daily evoked
by the guides.
Greenough had completed his mammoth
statue of Washington. The statue was In
Rome, and it was agitated how to get 1t TO the
City Of Washington. 1t was likewise agitated
how 1t should be placed Mills agreed it could
be placed in the rotunda, and that the light
