Crates for Fruit PACKING.

In the gathering Of fruit. especially
OF fruits that bruise easily, like
peaches, pears and plums, It is ad-
visable to have a strongly built rigid
crate. Baskets are quite generally
used, and we see pictures of men
carrying bushel baskets heaped up,
holding them by the two handles.
This is considered by the best packers
detrimental to the fruit, which should
be rubbed together as little as posi-
bic. There Is some give" about all
baskets, and basket on the ground
full of apples does not retain its shape
entirely when lifted from the ground.
The apples are pushed together op-
posite the handles and are shifted
more or less in the other parts of the
basket. In greater degree bags
cause the bruising of fruit. A two
bushel bag is filed and is generally
lifted by the middle. This forces
the apples very closely together In
the two ends Of the bag, and they
roll back again when the bag Is set
down. One Michigan packing house
has made a picking crate that will
hold little more than a bushel. It
Ia rectangular and composed of Stats
Care is taken to have the stats on
the bottom close together, 30 that the
fruit will not project below the stats
and receive bruises when the crate
is set down. This crate will largely
take the place of the other receptacles
used in picking and delivering fruit.

her to the home of a lawyef'.
The assault was committed on Friday after

dition half hour after it took place by
Mounted Patrolman Maiohoff, who had her sent
to the Lebanon Hospital. The physicians there

According to Miss Greenba um's story, she
went TO the Harlem Municipal Court on Friday
afternoon to get summons for a furniture
dealer in Third-ave. She says that she ordered
a baby carriage sent to friend in Brooklyn
and paid for it. but learned subsequently, that ii
had not been delivered. She alleges that when
she went to the dealer 10 ask him to make resti-
tuition he refused to make any return.
Miss Greenbaum told the doctors at the hos
pital that when she reached One-hunored-ano-
nty-first-st. and Sylvan Place sne inquired
of n man where she could find the Munclpai
Court. He directed her where to 60 and as she
started to walk up the steps of the BUILDING
she approached by a man about hVe rect
nine inches in height. with dark complexion and
black hair, who asked her business. When She
told him he said that he would get the sum-
mons for her. She went up to the courtroom
and after waiting q while the man told her
that he could not get the summons but knew
lawyer who would get 1t for her for 50 she
agreed to pay the money and he said ne Woulo
take her to sthe lawyers house. They WenL
to One-hundrad-a and twenty -ninth-st. and Third
ave. and boarded a Westchester-ave car Ihey
got out at Longwood-ave. That dlstrlct Is
known as Simpsons Woods.
When they were about 200 feet back OF Long
wood-ave the woman alleges that the stranger
suddenIv struck her on the head with his fist
and knocked her down. He then seized her
pocketbook, containing a key and fifty cents
in change To stife her cries the man put
big red handkerchief in her mouth. She then
alleges that he repeatedly beat her until she
was nearly unconscious.
After the man left her, Miss Greenbaum says,
she lay in an almost helpless state for about
half an hour. She then got to ner feet and
staggered out to Longwood-ave.. where she
sank to the ground from exhaustion.
