THE TIMES

LONGHORNS OUT

OF STYLE FOR BEEF STOCK

Veteran Breeder Predicts

Early Disappearance of "Head Arms." By MICHAEL. F. DACY. STAFF CORRESPONDENT I.N. SERVICE DENVER. Colo., Dec.- America's future beefsteak will come from a naturally hornless steer or cow. Bovine styles change just as surely, if not as frequently and rapidly as feminine modes. Horns are going put of fashion. The up-to-date "critter" of the range a few years hence won't wear any headgear or carry any arms, simply because neither is needed, and nature is taking a hand with the breeder in eliminating the unnecessary. That is the declaration of R. P. Morris, of Evergreen, Colorado. pioneer breeder of hornless Herefords and veteran of the western range. "With the gradual diminishing of predatory animals from the open range country," Morris told International News Service, "horns are

almost useless to cattle as chaps.

spurs and saddle would be to a New York dry goods salesman. They are out of style, are worthless as orna-

ments, a menace in shipping and

necessitate double stable space when worn by aristocratic range animals

that are housed and 'petted' during severe weather

"Dehorning is a painful operation. Hence, why grow horns? "With these facts in view, cat--tle breeders are 'manufacturing 'em' without horns. Exhibits at recent stock expositions bear this out. There were more polled beef cattle at the International Stock Show in Chicago and at the Kansas City Royal this year than ever before. Probably one-third of the heavy exhibits at the National Western in Denver early in January will be hornless In the western and southwestern range country the famous whiteface, or Hereford, outvotes other beef families almost ten to one. Original Hereford stock in America was possessed of long, graceful headarms-horns that served and were needed as weapons. That,

however, was before Uncle Sam had joined the plainsmen in a war to exterminate predatory beasts. The wolf the stockman's greatest enemy of the early days has almost disappeared from the range. Cougar

are no longer a menace. Bears are scarce. Coyotes are about the only stockklllers left to conquer, and even the wild dog isn't so destructive as he was ten years ago. Also,

more care is given to the calving

cows. They no longer need horns. The order has gone out to disarm the bovine world, and nature is doing more than her share to carry out the ukase. "Herefords. today the most popular range breed in the world, came from Herefordshire, England, and indications are that the parent stock was hornless. In the early days of white-face breeding in America a 'sport.' or hornless freak, would ap-

-pear infrequently among the herds

as the progeny of horned stock. Bred back to their horned herdmates these freaks produced approximately sixty per cent polled calves. Crossed with polled stock, they invariably produced their like, indicating that the polled strain was the older and stronger blood. That is the blood which is certain to survive. "Less than twenty years ago the first herd of all-polled, purebred Herefords was founded by John

Gammon, of Iowa. Since then more than 200 prominent breeders have crossed their strains of the whlteface family and are letting nature

So the dehorning job. Twenty years from now. I believe, horned range cattle will be as much of a curiosity as are the ancient Texas longhorns today. And it wasn't so many years ago that the butcher who

SOUTHERN OFFICIALS FIGHT FOR JUSTICE TO SOLVE MURDERS

Gov. John M. Parker of Louisiana and, below, Atty. Gen. A. V. Coco. The relentless fight of Gov. John M. Parker and Attorney General A. V. Coco of Louisiana to bring to justice those responsible for the Mer Rouge kidnapping last August which resulted in the death of two men, is bearing fruit. Two arrests already have been made and more are promised as investigators continue their activities under the protection of national guardsmen. bought a Texas beef paid for from ten to thirty pounds of worthless horn. Just as the Texas long-horn has passed in less than a decade the horn will pass entirely from the western range. They will be bred off instead of clipped off the great range families the Hereford and Shorthorn- just as they have been bred from those great beef-breeds, the Aberdeen-Angus, the Galloway and the Red-Polled." New York Letter By Lucy Jeanne Price NEW YORK, Dec. 28. -And this in New York! The old virtues would seem to be coming back into public demand. The Dutchess County Society of New York City is planning a big dinner at the Astor in January and will give $100 to the best looking young woman who will fry doughnuts for the diners. The return of the Speejacks, the smallest power yacht to have circumnaviated the globe, calls attention to the great decline in ocean yachting during the past ten years. The largest yacht built this year was 180 feet and the building of any at all has fallen far below that of former years. The wellknown H. C. L. and high taxes partially account for this, and the development of "super-yachting'' has been a factor. Great ships are being chartered by corporations and are sent on cruises of a luxury that the best of private "floating palaces" could not equal. The cruise of the private yacht is limited to a small group besides the owner's family and there is almost too much responsibility upon the hosts for their complete enjoyment. The passenger list on a "super-yachting" cruise reads like the Social Register, and other shoulders carry the burdens. Such a cruise will start from here in February on the big Mauretania, sailing to the Mediterranean, under the auspices of the American Express Company, in which all responsibility of the yachtsman is eliminated, Specialists aid him at every point. He cruises in a floating palace filled with people like himself; without responsibility, and with every want foreseen. That's what modern days demand.

People are honest, after all. More than that, other people know they are. This in spite of our occasional cynical expressions of doubt about our fellow-beings. I realize it every time I pass a package mail box here in New York around Christmas time. The tops of the boxes are packed high with parcels which could not be squeezed into the overflowing receptacle. People Just leave their treasures there without the slightest hesitancy and go freely on their way, brithely confident that there they will stay until a postman comes along and collects them. And one doesn't hear of many stolen packages. We must be a lot honester than we give ourselves credit for being. "For to behold and for to see" Kipling would have understood Mathew Fleming, Jr., aged nine, who left his home on West Fiftieth street the other day and took a 1,000 mile journey all by himself, during the following three days, Mathew didn't get so very far from home, at that. He spent the entire time in L trains on Manhattan, all at the cost of one dollar including peanuts bought for sustenance. His family was terribly alarmed, of course, and it was through their search that his trip was ended. "I seen lots of things," was Mathews explanation of the trip. It is most appropriate, of course, that Tony Sargs Marionettes should be shown at the Punch and July Theater, and that quaint house helps to create the proper atmosphere. But atmosphere or not, the Marionettes are so worth seeing that I would forego many a play acted by human beings for the sake of two hours at "Don Quixote," now being played by them. The play lends itself admirably to the peculiar artistry of the puppet show, and it is an ideal holiday entertainment. Day by day in every way," more and more surprising things are happening. New York is about to adopt electric cars in which a sign automatically appears in electric lights on the front of the car announcing ''car full," when the stated number of passengers are packed within; and then the car will make no more stop until some one gets off. It is the first time anyone has had the hardihood to suggest that a trolly car might set full, and it's going to be an awful blow to the conductors whose favorite cry is "Plenty of room up front."

ZAHAROFF STILL POWER DESPITE BIG LOSSES "Richest Man in Europe" Said to Have Lost 60 of His 100 Millions. By DAVID M. CHURCH STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE LONDON. Dec. Sir Basil Zaharoff, the "mystery man of Europe," who is credited with having been the richest man in Europe and the power behind innumerable international deals and diplomatic barters, is reported to have suffered severe financial losses. Sir Basil's financial losses since the war are rumored to have been as high as $60,000,000, a considerable blow even for a Zahahoff. The "mystery man of Europe" came into prominence during the recent Greek debacle, when it was reported that he was coming to London to confer with Lloyd George. London newspapers immediately opened campaign against Sir Basil, charging that he was partly responsible for Great Britain lending moral aid to the Greek adventure in the Near East. When the war broke out it was reported Sir Basil was worth nearly $100,000,000; now it Is said that his fortune has shrunk to $40,000,000, and he continues to incur heavy losses in the shipping industry. During the war Sir Basil acquired heavy shipbuilding interests, and it was reported that this unknown Greek, who has moved with mystery in high European circles for many years, was taking upon himself the task of repopulating the seas, which had been devastated by submarines. The sudden end of the war and an overproduction of ships cost "the mystery man" heavily. There are also reports that millions of Zaharoff francs were lost at Monte Carlo. It is understood that he obtained control of the Casino at Monte Carlo during the season of 1918-19 a season when OUT

most of the world was busy in making peace and recouping war losses. Since 1918-19 Monte Carlo has not been a paying venture. Banks which Sir Basil is interested in have had to share the world financial depression. The flames of Smyrna licked up more of Zaharoff's money, it is reported. Despite these heavy losses "the mystery man" apparently has no intention of taking his remaining millions and retiring, for it is reported that he has now become a financial power in Rumania and is backing many of the successful ventures of the Rumanian government. It is also reported that he is actively engaged in negotiation for Russian oil concessions. Though he may have lost heavily Sir Basil Zaharoff is still a wealthy man, a power in Europe, who putters about his kitchen making wonderful salad dressings and then

Unbleached muslin appears in the quilted centers of the fashionable patchwork quilts. A great deal of work is being put on these quilts, and in the case of a room with twin beds, there must, of course, be two alike. It is an unwritten law that everything must match in the room where the quilts are used, for nothing else seems to fit in with patchwork. This means that draperies, table and couch covers, scarves and slipcovers must all be made to match the quilt, in the colors of the room. The patchwork of today is no hit-or-miss scramble of odd colors and scraps, for artistic colors, good combinations and new materials are used. 15c 10c
