Why Beef Demand
Exceeds Supply

WASHINGTON - (P) - u. S.
prosperity still produces a strong
demand for beef. But the supply
has not kept up with the demand,
says the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
Main cause. the department says,
is the fact that it takes long time
to build up a breeding herd to pro-
duce more beef Many growers are
nov. building up their herds. To do
it they must hold back calves that
might be sold for beef to add TO
those herds. Thus, their attempts
to get more beef actually reduces
the supply.
The department thinks it will be
many months before supplies in the
United States are adequate.

all but one of whom was under II
years of age, as their assailant.
A larceny charge was also placed
against the youth because he took
a watch from one of his victims
as they were locked in bath
room.
Davis accosted the girls on the
streets, told them that he had a
gun and that he would hurt them If
they made an outcry. He would
take each to the bathroom of q
house and assault her there. His
first victim was a 15-year-old
girl who lives in the Richard Allen
homes. Each victim related the
same manner in which Davis oper-
ated.
The clue which began the steps
toward the capture of Davis was
the watch he took from the girl
last weekend. He pawned it at
nearby loan office and gave the
name Of Edward Davis.
Police traced the watch to his
address and finally found him
standing on the street. When the
unsolved cases Of rape and at
tempted rape we're looked into,
the victims were called to the sta
ton where they identified Davis.
Magistrate Jules Forestein is
holding Davis without bail for
court on the first two charges.

where Mr.. Wii-coxen wanted to
get out he gave the customary
bell signal and started for the
door. The bus driver slowed down
and suddenly. in order to avoid
an automobile which had turned
in front of him. brought the bus
to a halt. The force of the sudden
stop threw Mr.. Wilcoxen to the
floor of the bus and he suffered
severe injuries.
Following jury trial In the
King County Superior Court. the
court entered judgment for Mr.
wilcoxen in the sum Of $4,000. The
City Of Seattle appealed from this
decision to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court affirmed the
ruling of the lower court It
said that 1t was the general rule
that such jerks or jars as are
necessarily incident to the use OF
the conveyance and are not the
result of negligence will not render
the carrier liable for resulting
injuries.
The court pointed out. however,
that it is actionable negligence to
cause a conveyance to give a vio-
lent or extraordinary jolt, causing
injury to a passenger. Whether a
given jerk or jolt was violent or
extraordinary Is ordinarily a ques-
ton of fact to be determined by
the jury.
Here the Supreme Court held
that the sudden stopping Of the bus
was. violent and extraordinary and
held that the bus driver was neg
ligent In stopping his bus in the
manner in which he did.
