Replying to criticisms of the pack
ers. Senator Sherman declared that
the food administration's voluntary
agreements' had fixed and maintained
high prices for livestock, while lim
iting packers profits on the edible
portion of livestock to 9 per cent of
their invested capital.
Turning to the bill. SenatdY Sher
man said the 100,000,000 fund
would be placed "in hands outside
of those of the prasldent" fdr dis
tribution. He said the president al
ready had selected Mr. Hoover, who
probably would choose his own help.
"The president," ' said Senator
Sherman, "did so In the matter of
airplane construction- of the appro
priations for which $140,000,000
have never yet been satisfactorily ac
counted for. Mr. Hughes in his re
port recommended court martial for
cortaln gentlemen and tho the re
port of the (senate) committee with
out passing upon tho merely civil
liability, found many things that
were not In accord with good bust

"The president recommended in

Hughes' report found worthy of
court martial be exonerated and the

Walking 22 miles and carrying a
brick which weighed nine pounds, a
man won a wuger at Philadelphia. A
group of workmen were discussing
fvats of endurance and as a result one
of the men challenged a comrade to
carry a nine-pound hrlck across the
street and back again for five hours,
laying it down and picking It "up on
each side of the street. The bet was
taken np, and the workman went after
his prize, one dollar an hour, before a
large crowd, and nllhotigh It was a

had walked 22. miles. He began his
Job at 4:45 o'clock and finished It at

. Breaking Class Barrier.
If classes already mingle more free
ly than they could do forty years ngo,
It Is largely because the elements of
education are common to all, and tha
door has thus been opened to the able
and ambitious to educate themselves.
But if the normal course were much of
a muchness for all classes till the end
of ndajescence there would be an edu
cated community wherein certain 'gen
eral standards would be as common a
possession as reading and writing are
at the present time, and In such a com
munity class distinction could only
take a secondary place. General
education Is, in fact, the most per
vasive and tho best of democratic
agencies, because it levels all up and
pulls nothing down. That Is Its con
tribution to social democracy. -Mau-clicstw
