The gold production of the United
States this year will be 1>etween $40,
000,000 and $50,000,000, less than 50
per cent of the 1915 production; and
unless some remedy as is provided for
in the McFadden Bill is expedited, the
production for the ensuing years will
rapidly approach the vanishing point,
as the gold mines of the country con
tinue to shut down. By reason of the
monetary necessity for maintaining
the normal gold production of the
United States, especially during this
period of credit and currency contrac
tion of protecting the monetary gold
reserve from further industrial deplet
ion and of s&fegarding the gold stad
arci itself. Congress should provide a
memedy without delay in the interest
of national security.

CONSUMPTION OF MEAT
CHICAGO, Dec., 10— Something
ha; reduced the per capita consump
tion of meat in this country in the
past year, W. J. Carmichael, secretary'
of the National Swine Growers Asso
ciation. said here, discussing the “Eat
More Meat" movement he is endeav
oring to set underway! He has called a
meeting of livestock producers, live
stock exchanges and packers for Chi
cago Dec., 2.
At this conference he proposes to
enlist all interested in establishing a
national organization to act as a clean
ing house for meatmen’s difficulties
of this nature. Among these is what
Mr. Carmichael terms unfair. propa
ganda against meat.
“Vegetarianism is making some
headway in certain sections," Mr. Car
michael said, “hut a large part of the
decrease in meat eating appears due
to the &se of meat substitutes* These
have been encouraged by advertiseing.
| We don’t object to people using sub
stitutes but we feel it very unfair for
them to be led to do so, as in some
oases, by misleading comparisions
with matt values.”

21. Magellan is supposed to have land
ed on the island of Cebu about March
15, 1521, but in order to avoid holding

maved back a month. The celebration
will be a combination of the Magellan
exposition and the^egula^annual car
nival which has been held in Febru
ary for many years.
Magellan, termed by some histor
ians as “the greatest explorer of all
time,” concluded a treaty with the
tribesmen .on the island of Cebu.
Priests who ad made the voyage from
Seville, Spain with the. explorer* bap
tized many of the natives. Hostilities
broke out between the dato of Cebu*
or the “Christian King,” and the na
tives of Mactan. Magellan landed a
force of fifty men in order to assist
the dato and in the flight which en*
sue d was killed
Among the relics of Magellan’s voy
age, is an image of the infant Christ,
known as the Santo Nino or Holy
Child of Cebu. This was presented by
Magellan fo the wife of a native chief,
and was recovered by later Spanish
conquerors. The image is still preserv
ed in the church of Augustiniaiis at
Jebu, and permission has been asked
of the church authorities to bring the
sacred relic to Manila for exhibition
at the Magellan Carnival.
The site of the carnival is Wallace
Field, where Dr. Joes Risal, Filipino
patriot, was executed hg.1896, for the
part which the Spanish administration
I alleged he took in reform movwMBts.
Among the features of ^he carnival ‘ •
will be a pageant representing the dis
covery of the islands by Magellan sjni " .
numerous tocidents of the early Span
ish conquest, including the**blsod
compact** which Magellan ednetudsd
