In one instance The master was SO furious at being kissed that he closed his works until New Years day. thus muictinG the hands in weeks wages
 A ludicrous story is told of a young Japanese engineering apprentice in connection with the Christmas custom of kissing He was serving his time iD the north of Erclard and was as- tonished when vaiirrSs at the dining rooms winch he regularly frequented kissed him under Jhr miSsletOe.

The dam sci however. had heard that he was immensely wealthy and gently hinted that something for her neck would be more acceptable. When the present arrived next day she conjured up visions of pearl necklace as she tremblinSiy undid the parcel. Then was disclosed to her disappointed gaze a Jap's idea of something for her neck" It took the shape of q bar of soap.
 It is interesting to recall a strange Christmas kissing custom that in times gone by was regularly observed at . certain London hostelry.

tied with white ribbon.
 The same process is used in treat. ing dates which have been allowed to remain too long on the palm, be- coming dry and withered. except that they are soaked in water for six hours before going to the oven.
 Only the finest dates go into the confectionery boxes. Those which are q little less desirable are press ed into bricks and wrapped in stout tissue paper. The packages cores. pond to the buckets of bulk dates usually found in stores. but meet much reader sale because of their convenience and lack of stickiness.
 Other imperfect or "cull' dates are thrown into a vat and converted into high class vinegar.
 Because of the fact that date naams thrive on alkah land incap. able of producing other crops. Prof Freeman foresees a great future for the industry now that a method of  riDening the fruit inexpensively has been found. It has been proved he states, by the date orchard at the experiment farm near Tempe that the Deglet-Noor palms will produce 250 lbs of dates to the palm, with the palms planted 30 to the acre This. with yield of even 200 pounds to the palm. viii make a yield per acre of 10000 pounds.
 He figures that as a commercial proposition the grower will realize 10 cents per pound from the dates. and that the middleman who ripens and packs them will sell them for 20 cents per pound. At that rate, the grower will make 5000 per acre gross profit
 The orchard a: Tempe is beina cultivated without irrigation by rea- son of the fact that it draws mois- ture from surrounding farms.

EXPERIMENT STATION SOLVES
 PROBLEM OF DATE R|PEN|NG

TUCSON, Dec. 22-To make pos sible the culture and ripening of high class. commercial dates in Ari- zons. the latter feature os which has never been possible before, Prof. C. F. Freeman. plant breeder at the experiment station of the University of Arizona, has invented a physical process. for ripening the Deglet Moor date with such success that he has now entered the univepsity's crop into local market competition with the imported product. and has just made his first shipment to the Cal ifornia market.
 The experiment station has been working on the problem of ripening Deglet-Noor dates for the past 10 years" said Prof Freeman. work ed out my solution to a success about six week ago. Since that time we have put about 300 pounds of dates on the market. and are unable to supply the demand. 1t wa5 always been possible to grow certain varie- ties os dates here, but they soured quickly f.nd could not be shipped. The Deg'et-Noo- would not ripel be- cause the season in Arizona is too short Previous attempts to risen these dates by chemical means are still to be fully tried outon the mark ct and may possess great merit"
 Prof. Freeman's physical process of ripening is simple The dates are picked while they are still firm but fairly brown and after being washed are placed in an oven where they are kept at a temperature of between 45 and 50 degrees Centi- trade for four days. By that time they have become fully ripened gre moist partially shrunken and very sweet Then they are packed in at- tractive little boxes like confection- cry. wrapped in thin white paper and

Trackage Rights From Provo
and Connection at DOtserO
Are Significant.
INDICATES RIO GRANDE
RELATION TO NEW LINE
Would Give the Older Road the
Shortest Line Denver to
Utah.

In Mr.. Moffats interview, wired from
New York, that gentleman is quoted as
saying that the financial arrangements
for the road would include a connection
with the Rio Grande at Dotsero. He
also stated that he expected 10 make
trackase arrangements from Provo 10
Salt Lake. This information, coming
from the man who has built the road
is significant. 1t seems to bear out the
oft-repeated statement that the Rio
Grande Will be in some way connected
with the new line, thus giving it the
short route from Denver TO Salt Lake. As
has often been pointed out, the Rio
G-snde runs p little east OF south from
Denver TO Pueblo before II branches out
10 the west, and by utilizing the Moifat
line lis train, leaving Denver at the same
time as the one leaving for the west
via Pueblo. would be 100 miles due west
or nearer to Salt Lake when the other
train was at Pueblo and all the results
obtained by the Moffat line in cutting
OF the distance would accrue TO the Rio
Grsnde In the event OF that road effect
ing an alliance with the Moffat line for
through trains.
The situation is. TO say the least, in
teresting, and while II is impossible TO
secure anything definite about the Moffat
plans, yet we'll versed railroad men be-
lieve that something highly important Is
in the wind.
