S. | Insp’d & P’sd.” “The stamp is ab- | solutely harmless,” the United | States Department of Agriculture | declares in commenting on reports | that dealers frequently cut it off of carcasses and also retail cuts of meat. The marking fluid is a vegetable coloring material made of approved ingredients and is as harmless as fruit juice. The inspec- tion stamp is put on all wholesale cuts of inspected beef, veal, pork, lamb and mutton, and is the United States Government’s assurance that the meat was from a healthy anim- al and was preparel iin a strictly sanitary manner. The Government inspectors first examine the live animals and follow through each process of preparing fresh meats or meats products for market, This protection, which the United States Department of Agriculture provides under authority from Con- gress, enables consumers to disting- uish properly inspected meat from that which was not slaughtered and prepared under such a safeguard. Consumers, therefore, should re- quest dealers not to cut off the inspection stamp, since its removal destroys the official assurance as to the meat’s wholesomeness. ee an erm their radio.

MOHLER PROMISES WAR ON LIVESTOCK PARASITES Parasites injure livestock on the farms and ranches of the United States probably to the extent of hundreds of millions of dollars an- nually. This is the conclusion reached by Dr. John R. Mohler, Chief of the Bureau of Animal In- dustry, United States Department of Agriculture, after reviewing the evidence collected by his bureau. “The inroads of parasites, especial ly the internal kinds,” he says, “constitute a livestock problem of great importance. Losses from par- asites have been tolerated too long and accepted too complacently. The livestock industry can not afford to let this situation continue, espec- ially when certain parasites are ex- acting more and more tribute— more and more blood money.” As important pests Doctor Moh- ler mentions the nodular worms at- tacking sheep, which have been so troublesome in the South and now are spreading to the Middle West; the liver fluke in the Rocky Moun- tain States and on Pacific coast; the kidney worms so widespread in hogs; stomach worms in sheep; round worms, tapeworms, and lung worms, and the better known, be- cause more obvious, ticks, lice, and mites. The only way in which these parasitic losses can be stopped Doctor Mohler believes, is through thorough and painstaking research work to reveal the life histories of the parasites and discover points at which they can be attacked most successfully. This research should then be followed by campaigns of education among livestock growers for practical application. As an example of the enormous reproductive capacity of some of the parasites, Doctor Mohler says intes- more a female round worm in the tines of a hog may produce than 25,000,000 eggs. These parasites do injury, as is commonly supposed, by sucking the blood and by inflicting pain and ir- ritation which interfere with the animal’s rest and feed. But the injury does not cease with this. Some parasites produce poisons. Others make openings in the flesh and tissue which allow bacteria to enter. At times the accumulation of parasites in the body may be so great as to prevent the lungs, the kidneys, or the alimentary canal from functioning as they should. That the parasites are causing concern to stockmen is indicated by the number of inquiries received by the Department of Agriculture. The experts of the department have de- vised as excellent system of sanita- tion for control of round worms in swine, and Doctor Mohler says “we are planning to augment the pres- ent force of workers and to pro- vide means and facilities for more research with the hope of finding better methods for checking the inroads of the more serious para- sites for which present control methods are not fully effective.” co — CHILDREN’S GARMENTS BEING MADE AT HOME Women who might be a little doubtful of their skill in making their own clothes or those of other adults in the family nevertheless, make many garments for children. Some interesting points in this connection were brought out in the course of a survey of home sewing practices carried on by the Bureau of Home Economics, United States Department of Agriculture. Among some 2,000 farm women who returned the questionaire, approximately half reported having no children under 15 years of age, but many women said they made garments for children even when they were none of the family. Mere speculation might suggest that pos- sibly a number of women get much enjoyment out of making pleasing garments for little people, or that those to whom sewing is a means of artistic expression find this an outlet for energies they hesitate to apply to adult garments. The figures brought out by the survey, however, are confined to the economic reasons for home sewing for children. As the highest per- centages of women making each garment are foun either in the $1,000 to $1,999 income group or the next above it, $2,000 to § it would seem that considerable thought possible if the home, that for be cut from elonging to savings are children’s clothes are It must be borne many articl Foi children’s parts of large * persons, So that by remodel time and labor to more than 75 per cent of the en were remodelir garments for |! some member of the fami N doubt large i one for the children, In all income g 1 of women making s cloth 5 decreases as he com- munit words, | fewer women rural districts ren, perhaps ection of clothing in the price range t ere ee nA eee A few breeds of poultry, the Bar- red and White Rhode Island Red, White Wyan- dotte, and Single-Cpmb White Leg- horn, are kept do b greater exten than all othg nd varieties combined, its of U.

Every vehicle, whether or not it be propelled by motor power, steam or horse-drawn is a given definition and a place in the Vehicle Code. Subsection (a), defining ‘Vehicle’ includes every device in, upon or by which any person or property may be drawn upon a public high- way with the exception of traction engines, tractors, steam shovels, road rollers, agricultural machin- ery, devices moved by human pow- er or used exclusively upon station- ary rails or tracks. The very import- ant provision is made that a bicycle or a ridden animal shall be deemed a vehicle. A motor vehicle cle herein defined which is self propelled, except traction engines, steam shovels, road rollers, agricul- tural machinery and vehicles which move upon or are guided by a track or travel through the air.” This last leaves out airplanes. is “every vehi- Dealer Is Defined Dealers’ License Plates may be used by “Any persons, firm, cor- poration or association engaged in the purchase and sale of motor ve- hicles, trailers, and semi-trailers who has an established business.” Abuse of dealers’ plates under the present law was frequent because the law did not provide an effective means of regulating their use. A significant definition is that for an Intersection, This is “The area embraced within the prolongation of the lateral curb lines of two or more highways which join one an- other at an angle, whether or not one such highway crosses the other.” The definition will come into play often in enforcing rules of the road, which forbid passing at an intersection and make certain other provisions. Careful distinction is drawn be- «ween Business Districts and Resid- ence Districts, for the purpose of certain 1egulatory measures, part- icularly relating to speed within a ouui-up section, I'o be termed a- Business Dis- trict fifty per cent or more of the Irontage contiguous to the highway for a distance of 300 feet must be occupied by buildings in use for business. A Residence District must com- prise a stretch of 300 feet or more closely built up with dwellings and buildings in use for business. : When parked, a vehicle is stand- Ing upon any highway taking up or setting down passengers or merch- andise, Should any provisions of the Vehicle Code be held unconstitut- ional, neither the Code as a whole nor any other provision will be affected by the judgment. Titles Diminish Theft No drastic changes are made in the title provisions, although the old act as a whole has been repeal- ed and supplanted clear cut which by an orderly, procedure is Article II, prescribes the manner in which vehicles shall be titled, It simply takes the entire Common- wealth out of the stolen car market. Cars titled in Pennsylvania are not easily disposed of in other states, especially in those operating under 1 title act.
