[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 3. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Another short supply of swine was the principal factor contributing to a further advance in prices on the closing market this week and then there were j not enough hogs in the receipts of 7,000 j fresh and 1,000 stale hogs to accommo- , date a normal demandweven from local j packers. In comparison with the ir- j regular sales pf Friday the extreme: quotations were 25c to 50c higher, but a ' very large proportion of the business at sls was 25c higher and there was an average advance of nearly 40c in prices of much of the business. The heaviest stock sold as low as $14.75 and the fancy light hogs as high as $15.25. There were several of the lightest hogs sold at $15.15, but this was offset to some extent bv several sales of heavier kinds at $14.85. Prices of throwouts were correspondingly higher, with pig's ns high aa the price of other hogs, $15.15, and sows from $13.50 down. There wera more than 80,000 hogs arrived for the post-holiday market, but apparently not enough to meet the requirments and this is reflected In the movement of prices to a level 75c higher than a week ago. CATTLE. The run of 600 cattle, ordinarily considered large for Saturday, was not equal to the demand from all local buyers and there was very brisk competition to secure as many of the offerings as possible, but nt no higher prices. It was apparent ; that killing cattle of all descriptions sold j fully steady and the unusual advance of i 81 or more in the list of prices last i week has been maintained. This was not j the result of sub-normal supplies because : there were only 500 less cattle this week i than for the same time a year ngo. There was a steady market for veal calves from sl9 to $21.50, $1 higher than a week ago. j There wag no quotable change In the market for feeding cattle and there has not been any change in that department this week. SHEEP. The best lambs in the light receipts of 300 sold at $lB, representing a gain of fully 50c as compared with prices prevailing a week ago, and there wns about the eame advance in prices of sheep that sold as high as $9.

Here's Recipe on How to Make It WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-A miniature sugar mill for use In the home kitchen is the latest Tsuggestion offered by the bureau of home economics, department of agriculture, to comiiat the sugar shortage. Sweet potatoes and malt ore the best Ingredients from which sugar may bo extracted in the home, says the bureau in issuing Instructions. Barley should be soaked In water for twelve hours. The water Is then drained off and the grain allowed to stand for twelve hours, and the oparation of soaking and standing repeated durliy? the next twenty-four hours. At the conclusion of the stpeping, the Interior of the grain should be soft nud chalk-dike. The grain Is then spread In a tray in a layer not over six or eight Inches deep. It should be kept as near 60 degrees Fahrenheit as possible. After the grain has laid for six or eight days the sprout forces its way out at t.he end of the grain and the malt is ready to be used. Immediately before use It should be ground in a meat chopper and added directly to the boiled mashed sweet potatoes.

The sweet potatoes should be washed, Flemishes removed and weighed. They are placed :n a kettle with plenty of water and boiled thoroughly until soft. From one and one-half to two hours’ boiling is required. The potatoes are then rnnshed in the kettle, with sufficient water, adding more If necessary to form, a thick, smooth, mushy liquid. The temperature of the mixture is then brought to .140 degrees Fahrenheit and a quantity of ground malt added equal to 3% per cent of the weight of the original sweet potatoes. The mixture is thoroughly stirred and allowed to stand a few minutes at\a temperature of 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and the temperature Is then brought, with constant stirring, to a temperature of 150 degrees. The source of beat is removed and the mass allowed to stand with ocasional stirring for an hour. The mixture, known technically as the “mash,” is now pressed in cloth bags, which are closed, and the bags subjected to gentle pressure while kneading. The juice flows out readily, leaving the pulp behind.. The juice is then boiled down to syrup in an ordinary kettle. Caro must be taken that the temperature of the mass be uniform throughout during the action of the malt.

Building Permits Total $12,794,550

Building operations In Indianapolis during 1910 totaled $12,794,550 in value, according to complete figures complied today by .T. C. Hays, chief clerk in the building commissioner’s office. This is an increase over 1918 of more than 300 per cent, and of $3,699,646 over 1913,"the largest previous year. The total valuation of new building in 1918 was a little over $4,000,000.

British Land Girl Declares Bull as Docile as a Lamb

1 LONDON, Jan. 3.—The lull has been sadly slandered all these years. He Isn’t a rough guy at all, according to the Landswomnir, official organ of work during the war. Why mere man fails to be on good terms with the bull is explained thus: “He drives his bull, and the bull resents It; the woman leads the bull, and the bull follows—meekly!” The land girl, in fact, treats the bull as a lovable creature and he becomes as docile as a lamb. Margaret Starkey confesses she was afraid of bulls when she first joined the land army, but by kindness she taught them to eat cake out of hex hand.

Today’s Market Gossip The New York Financial News saysi- ‘ Bullish activities are expected to continue in the general market. The active list of stocks is in a strong technical position. Money Is to be easier after the first week iu the new yehr, according to banking channels.” Wire from Chicago says that week-end cash markets are usually slow and this week should be no exception because of over-holiday accumulations" Deferred deliveries will probably sympathize with any decline in price of cash corn. While there Is nothing to stimulate the market largely and permanently, at the same time It Is not likely that any pronounced weakness will maintain because of the absence of accumulations at every point and the Improbability of any heavy movement from the country. Stock letter by wire from New York, says: “The new year started uneventfully. In press reviews It Is pointed out how essential It is to Increase production during the year, but no satisfactory plan Is outlined. The present experiment Is to keep money high and thus prevent hoarding of commodities. That, In itself, will not accomplish the desired results, but the high money does make a vast difference in the stock market, for alt revenue is measured by the needs of the world. Every corporation In this country and every Individual producer and manufacturer should find a ready market for maximum production. This means justification for buying securities, provided banking facilities are available. Until money gets easy, be on the safe side and keep accounts within reasonable limits.” "take puzzles I TO UNCLE SAM WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—How can the dentist determine the wear and tear of false teeth; what amount of energy Is absorbed by varying types of automobile tires; enumerate the different kinds of rare sugars; what temperature produces the strongest trass; how thick is molasses and v. hat is the relation of density to quality; and how can a business man apply a motor-driven letter opener In speeding the clearance of his morning’s mall? No, this Is not a list of conundrums for mere speculation of fictitious t>uzzles for fireside fancies this winter: Rather, these were definite problems explored and solved ki 1919 by the national bureau of standards—and these are only six of 124,668 tests, by actual count, more or less satisfactorily conducted during the year. Scientifically expressed, the bureau of standards classifies its functions into clearly-defined standards of measurement, standard values of constants, standards of quality, standard of mechanical performance, standards of practice. The public, however, can best irisualize its capabilities and opportunities of service by briefly summarizing a few of its achievements in 1019: SEND PROBLEMS TO IH REAL. States and municipalities can call upon the department to compare weights and measures. A revised edition of circular No. 3, “ Design and Testing of Standard Mass.” has been published. Investigations of mine scales are being conducted In the coal fields of Ohio, West Virginia aud Kentucky. Seventy-eight different railroads, in thltry-two states, had their railroad track scales tested. Standards for gas service wex# evolved for fifteen citiles. Telephone service, the bugaboo of utility commissions and public alike, Is the object *bt extensive Investigation. Street railways and electric lighting companies aljo bring their problems to Washington for solution. A tlrree-wtre power distribution system was suggested and adopted by the street railway company of Wilmington, Del. Just now the bureau is wrestling with a problem of corrosion of the lead cable sheaths of the electric company in Bt. Louis. , The bureau of standards has the only “altitude laboratory” constructed in tliie United States. The small room, with reinforced concrete walls, is strong enough to withstand the pressure produced on the outside by exhausting the air within to a pressure as low as one-third atmosphere. TEST AERIAL ENGINES IN LABORATORY. Aviation engines are here tested, the units of mechanism operating under conditions permitting of careful scientific measurements. A device has been developed for measuring the rate of altitude of an airplane. The medical service of the war department and the general public are using twenty so-termed rare sugars. The bureau Is conducting Investigations that will ultlmately disclose scientific data on the rare sugars. A controversy has arisen between buyer and seller of blackstrap molasses to the quality of same—the bureau of standards has consented to act as referee. A device for determining the density of molasses has been developed—the value of the product predicated upon Its thickness. Hitherto the United States has imported lits clay products from foreign countries. Co-operating with a potter's association In East Liverpool, 0.. the bureau has completed satisfactory tests whereby whfteware pottery can be made altogether from American clay* under commercial conditions. Os forty-six compositions, more than half proved to be satisfactory and the American housewife can use table ware made from domestic clay. Optical glass, formerly Imported from France, Germany and England, is to be manufactured on a commercial scale In this country—thanks to the efforts of the. Pittsburgh laboratory of the bureau of standards.

PROPOSES TAX ON ALL SALES Speaker Sees Greater Fairness in Substitute for Excess Profits Plan. ST. LOUIS, Jan. I.—Speaking before the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Morris F. Frey, assistant treasurer of the Guaranty Trust Company of New York. Indicated the possibilities of a federal tax on gross sales as a substitute for the present excess profits tax, which, he said, threatened the industries of the country with irreparable injury. “Undoubtedly," said .Mr. Frey, “one of the strongest arguments In favor of a sales tax lies in the desire and need of relieving the country of one of the most unjust, unsound and dangerous taxes which has ever been imposed upon our industries, namely, the excess profits tax. The excess profits tax, though probably justifiable as a means of raising revenue for the prosecution of the w r ar, is both unscientific in principle and economically unsound. Although this fax Is in the form of a direct tax on profits, it is, in effect, a most unsatisfactory commodity tax. A manufacturer, merchant, or other business concern subject''to the tax, in most instances, estimates in advance, the amount which he is compelled to add to the selling price of the commodity In order to pass the same on to the (intimate consumer, so as to protect himself against the heavy imposltiono. Because of the uncertainty of tile determination of the tax, owing to the intricacies and complexities of the law, a business concern Is apt to overestimate, rather than underestimate, its liability. BBOPKR SOURCES OF FEDERAL REVENUE. “From the foregoing it would seem that, as a ihatter of principle, consumption taxes are recognized as proper sources of federal revenue and existing taxes must he superseded by an equally productive system which does not so seriously threaten the prosperity, and even the existence of our industries. In other words, what is needed most at the present time is a tax law which may be productive enough to raise a large amount of revenue and elastic enough to meet changing conditions, and at the same time, not an impediment to increased production, and simple and eco-nomical-In ndministrntlon. Summing up the possibilities of the gross sales {ax, Mr. Frey said that it had the following advantages: “1. Either i cumulative tux or a tax l.mited to retail sales will be productive and flexible mid probably offers the only available substitute for the excess profits tax. “2. The fenx would be equitably distributed over a large mass of people and would be so light that it would not impose an undue burden. “3. Asa substitute for the excess profits tax, it would impose a definite, certain, consumption tax, easily ascertainable, in place of an indefinite, undeterminable tax which is now passed on to the consumer on a good deal higher basis than tha actual imposition. “4. The tax is so low that in practice any attempt to abuse or defraud the coDsnrucr bhould be taken care of by competition. MARKED ADVANTAGE IN SALES TAX. “A consumption tax of this character will reach the great mass of farmers and wage earners into whose hands the greater portion of the natural income goes. Those classes apparently are sharing fully in whatever prosperity the war bas brought, but can iot be reached effectively through income taxes. Thus, a large number of people will contribute to the expense of the government a large amount in the aggregate, in sums depending upon the amount of their ex-

penditures. Ths man who live* carefully and conservatively would pay less than one with the same Income who lives recklessly and extravagantly.

Mr. Frey proposed that the-'gross sales tax be placed cumulatively upon all commercial turnovers from the original purchaser to the final sale by the retailer to the consumer. Replying to the objection that this would be pyramiding, he said that it had been estimated t-.af a cumulative tax on gross sales would add less than one-half of 1 cent to the cost of a pound of beef selling at retail at about 40 cents. Safety Taught to School Children in Early Grades St. Louis school children are being taught safety observations in thoroughly practical fashion. Beginning with th 9 obvious dangers, such as crossing streH playing with matches and getting on ans off cars, which personal dangers ara grasped most easily by the child in the early grades, the training progresses from the formation of habits of safe conduct to more reasoned behavior. Thi* develops into a sense of responsibility in the child for the safety of his imnaedlate associates, the community and fk* nation. As described by Albert W. Whitney of the committee on education of the national safety council the principles of safety observation, are ingrained through all the classes—examples such as accident statistics are used in arithmetic classes, reading claseee get their material largely from newpapers, including many accident accounts; drawing classes illustrate accident situations and make safety slogans, while geography has ft fresh interest in the study of city Are hazard, forest Are ht.zard and life-saving coast service. Nature classes study motives shown in development of animals and plants, and tableaux and simple plays on safety themes are used for dramatics. “It Is not all theoretical,” says Mr. Whitney. “An advisory system has been developed, working in co-operation with the school authorities. This Is worked through a series of of pupils that have to do with all the school interests In which the children may be properly ooiuserned.
