Ash PAN TROUBLES

Some trouble is being experienced by
the Pennsylvania Railroad in the self
cleaning ash pans that are being put
on all of the locomotives on the en-
tire system, from the fact that engine
men allow hot Goals TO fan down In
them when the doors are closed.
Quite a number Of these pans have
been turned out of the shops since the
first Of year. in accordance with orders
issued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission 10 the effect that all roads
must equip their engines with this ash
pan by the first of the year 1910. The
enginemen have been ordered to be
careful with the pans so that the ap-
propriations can be spent on making
new ones Instead of making repairs to
those already in service.
The shops have received a large order
Of these makes OF pans and a num-
her of them have already been turned
out. Those which have left the
shops have given satisfaction
and while the order for these pans

STRAWBERRY SEASON

The strawberry season will begin in
earnest within another two weeks. Re
ports received from Arkansas. Ten
nessee, and other Southern States IN
dicate that the crop Of berries will be-
gin moving by the latter part Of this
month in crates and by the first OF
next month most immediate reduction
in price will follow.
There have been strawberries on the
market since the first OF January, but
not in sufficient quantity to enable
them TO acquire a definite market stat
us. The bulk of the early fruit has
been shipped from South Carolina ana
Florida and has been Of unusual quail
ity. considering the time Of the year.
In Tennessee, this year. 1t is believed
that the strawberry acreage. will not
quite come up to that of last year
although the quality of the fruit prom
ises, IL anything. to be above the aN-
erage. Arkansas. however, is count
ed upon to make heavy shipments,

of money.
A year or more ago the American
Bankers Association filed a complaint
In a sentative way with the Interstate
Commerce Commission with a view TO
forcing the express companies to cease
their business OF dealing in money
orders. bills OF xchange-foreign and
domestic-letters of credit. drafts and
similar evidences of money. The alle-
cation was made that the express COM
panies not only were not authorized
under the law 10 do a banking business
but that they Disseminated against
bankers and banking institutions to an
unlawful extent.
This complaint was examined informs
ally by the Commission and conferences
were held with the Commission by on
cials of the American Bankers Assoc
citation. As a result the complaint in
its original form was not pressed it
being evident that the Commission
would promulgate no order compelling
the express companies to cease their
business Of extending credits.
subsequently another complaint was
filed. Its principal allegation is that tho
express companies unlawfully discrim-
mate against regular bankers in tho
handling and shipment OF money and
credits. The companies are the Amer
ican, Adams. United states, Wells
Fargo and Southern Pacific.

HOUSEHOLD TOPICS

Ripe olives imported from Greece and

foreign grocers are provided. The olives

ishing properties.
Chicken rissoles as they are served at
a certain French tea room might easily
be prepared by the American house
wife. Pastry cases are filed with a
savory mixture of shredded chicken,
lean ham diced fine, few peas. tiny
bits of boiled carrots, slices Of mush-
room and minced tarraCon-the latter
very sparingly used. The meat and
vegetables should be cooked together
in a little of the chicken stock until
they are thoroughly heated through
and then filled into pastry cases and
heated again. For the sauce, use two
cupfuls Of tomatoes cooked for ten
minutes in a pan that has been ribbed
with the cut side Of a Glove garlic.
