Medical Students Witness Work of Meat Inspectors Demonstration Arranged to Fa miliarize Future Doctors With ( .onjrol of Ani mal Disease. Under the auspices of Dr. Herman Busman, In charge of all meat Inspec tion at the South Omaha market, an edircatlenal demonstration was given Friday. The work was presented In the Interest of the medical students from the University of Nebraska and the Creighton medical college. The object of the instruction given was to familiarize the medical stu dents with the work being done by the United States and the state au thorities relative to control of animal disease and the prevention of mar keting of diseased meats. Dr. W. T. Spencer, who has charge of educational work in the interest of the South Omaha market, was present to assist in the demonstra tion. Dr. Spencer goes out over the state and assists In bringing infor mation before county livestock asso ciations, farm bureau meetings and other groups of farmers who are con fronted with problems of disease con trol. His work is wholly in the in terest of the livestock industry and helps the farmers in the working nut of campaigns for eradication of con taglous and infectious diseases. Other distinguished visitors were: Dr. A. 11. Frances from Lincoln, Dr. Russel from Washington. D. C., con nected with the bureau of animal in dustry; Dr. Hays, field man in animal disease control work for the federal government: W. J. Martin, agricul tural agent for the Union Pacific railroad, and Otto Leibers, manager of the Nebraska Dairy Development association. A large crowd of stu dents from the two medical colleges were present at the meeting. An idea of the services rendered by the inspectors is gained when one realizes that there are 140 Inspectors at the Omaha market. They inspected 083,000 rattle, 92,000 calves, 1,585,000 hogs and 3,025,000 sheep during 1924. , Only a small percentage of the ani mals inspected were found infected and condemned. Tlie work being done by the au thorities here at the yards is costing only an average of 5 cents per ani mal. while the average for the entire United States is about 6 cents per animal. The work is so thorough that all moats which pass through the regu lar rhannels of the packing industry Is absolutely free from any forms of “Bible Marathon” Planned by Church Columbus, Neb., Dec. 19.—How much time would it take to read the Bible through front cover to cover without stopping? Rev. E. Lamont Geissinger, pas tor of the First Methodist church, declares it can be done in G5 hours, and 90 members of the church will co-operate with him to do it. “Bible reading marathon,” the un dertaking has been aptly character ized by Rev. Mr. Geissinger. Beginning promptly at 4 Monday morning, December 29, a member of the congregation will take up the reading with the first verse of Genesis. From that moment until the last verse of Revelation is reached, the reading will continue uninterrupted day and night. Each reader will proceed for 30 or 43 minutes, and when he, or she, as the rase may be, begins to tire, there will be another present to take up the task. At least 90 members of the congregation, and possibly more than 100, will participate in what will be the first continuous and complete reading of the Bible. If the advanced schedule works out, the last reader should finjsh the last verse in the Bonk of Reve lation just as the bells and whistles herald the advent of the new year at midnight New Tear’s evening. animal disease. All condemned meat is taken to the fertilizer plant and turned into fertilizer. 5 BELOW ZERO AT COLUMBUS’ Columtus, Neb. Dec. 19.—Five be low zero temperature were recorded at B tonight. The highest official reading was one degree below Zero at nbon and the minimum 15 degrees below zero last night. Today's snow fall amounted to more than 100th inch precipitation. Trains already delayed by weather conditions are being held 15 and 20 minutes over time for Christmas mail that seems to be reaching a high mark today. UNION PACIFIC DENIED INCREASE Lincoln, Dec. 19.—The state rail way commission refused today to grant application of the T'nion Paci fic for higher switching rates on its tracks in the fourth switching district north of Locust street. The Omaha Ice company, entered the principal objection to the appli cation. Machine Guns to Protect Prison Warden Fenton Requests Arms to Safeguard Against Riot. Staff Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, Dec. 19.—Machine guns on state penitentiary walls are proposed by Warden W. T. Fenton unless the legislature does something to relieve congestion at the institution. At the present time it is necessary fop 150 men to sleep outside the cells in buildings within the walls. This mode of protection against mob violence has been accepted at the federal prison at Leavenworth. Warden Fenton is thinking seriously of asking similar protection for his Institution. The warden w’ants an appropriation from the legislature for an entire new of 11 house at the penitentiary. It will necessarily be for trusties as the shirt and overall and furniture factories occupy all extra space within {he walls. The warden proposes building the cell house directly across the road In front of the penitentiary. In addition the apnropriation of $150,000 or $200,000 will be necessary to rebuild the penitentiary power plant and provide power necessary for thoroughly lighting the new atate house. The present plant, according to the warden, is inadequate to carry the load necessary to light the capi tol when it is completed. At present the penitentiary plant furnishes light for the governor's mansion, state asylum, old capitol, orthopedic hos pital ar.d state reformatory. The job of lighting the few rooms In the new capitol has been tempo rarily assigned to the penitentiary plant, pending a settlement of a dis pute as to whether the contract for lighting the new statehouse sliall be awarded to a privately owned plant or to the municipal plant In Lincoln. “We can take care of the load for the few rooms completed,” the war den said, “but If we are forced to light the entire statehouse with its flood lights, legislative halls and su preme court chambers we must have a new power plant.” Wright Pioneer Dies.
