stability of the live stock and meat
Industries of this country depends on
public confidence, and until the public
;has assurance that all Its meat is
,Wholesome the work of establish
ing: public confidence will be Incom
plete. At present about two-thirds
Of the ment supply Is Federally in
spected and stamped accordingly by
ihe United States Department of Ag
riculture, but until something effec

Inspection of the remaining one-third
which is slaughtered and sold entirely
within State boundaries and over
which the National Government has
no authority, the public, as a whole,
can never feel certain that the purity
and~wholesomeness of its entire meat
supply Is assured.
The statements were emphasised
by Dr. John R. Mohler, chief of the
Bureau of Animal Industry of the
United States Department of Agricul.
ture, in an address to-day before the
American Meat Packers' Association
In session in Atlantic City. The Bureau

Completed a survey of municipal and

any kind of meat inspection. Where
inspection is maintained it is fre
quently Incomplete. Less than one
fburth of the cities reported that ante,

in many, cases little assuranco was
furnished that condemned moats were
actually withheld from distribution.

Points Out Legal
Precedent For Mexico
to Nationalize Lands
' Mexico City, Sept., 16.—Legal pre.
cedent for the Republic of Mexico to
* nationalize its lands which are now
•. devoted to the production of petrol
eum, Is claimed in a statement re
cently furnished to the Associated
Press by Leon Salinas, sub-secretary
of the Department of Commerce and
Industry which has this question In
charge.
Laws and statutes governing the
development of coal and oil deposits
date back to the days of the viceroys
in Mexico, the statement says, and
since that time there has been a
series of decrees and laws that firmly
establishes the rights of the republic
in this regard.
The question Is now in the hands
of the Mexican Congress for revision
with a view to adjudicating claims
made by foreign companies with vast
interests in Mexico.
Plan to Increase
Income of Churches
New York, Sept. 16. —Changing the
"clerk-church" into the "employer
church" by the application of modern
business principles to church manage
ment Is the latest project of the Epls
copal church in the United States.
Toq many "clerk-churches" and too
few ''employer-churches" are being
shown, Episcopal leaders say, by the
surveys of the needs and opportun
ities of Episcopal dioceses throughout
the country now being made for the
executive committee of the Church's
Nation-Wide Campaign.
"Employer- churches," they believe,
are essential not only to the success of
the campaign to expand the church's
work to meet reconstruction demands,
but to establish the church as a force
in the new world-order that Is now
being built.
The idea and its terminology or
iginated with an lowa rector. Rev.
Elmer Nelson Owen, of St. Paul's
Church, Des Moines. Mr. Owen put It
to the test of two years' application
to St. Paul's parish, the largest in
lowa. To-day St. Paul's Church has
increased Its income 400 per cent. It
has Increased Its influence upon the
community life of Des Moines In pro
portion. It has won the interest and
approval of Des Moines financl-irs,
judges, lawyers, business men.
A "clerk- church," according to Mr.
Owen's definition. Is a church that can
not do more than pay Its bills. An
"employer-church" js one that has a
working capital above Its own ex
penses, for participation In the life of
the community.
Lightning Struck
Statue of Germania
as Allies Advanced
Strasbnrg, Sept., 16.—1t has become
known only recently, that the huge
statue of Germania. which stands In
the public square here commemorat
ing the victory of the Prussians In
1870 and the foundation of the empire
of the Hohensollerns was shattered
by lightning In August 1918, when
tha Allied armies were driving the
Germans before them along the West
ern Front. The stroke of lightning
now regarded as symbolic of the ap
proaching fate of the German arjnies
caused consternation among the sup
erstitious Germans and their author
ities here decreed that absolute sil
ence be kept regarding it. No one
was allowed to see the monument ex.'
cept workmen who were at once em
ployed to repair It.
The lightning struck the sword
which "Germania" brandishes toward
Heaven. The Imperial Eagle was
damaged and the Angel of War,
which stands at the foot of the statue
was wrecked. Despite the repairs,
traces of the e.Sect of the thunder
bolt still are visible.
