SHIPPERS ROUTE FREIGHT
Important Privilege Guaranteed to
Them by New Railroad Law
Save Time and Money.

Under the new railroad law ship
pers gain a privilege for which many
OF them have long contended, but
without being successful One of the
provisions gives them the right to
designate the routes by which their
shipments shall be forwarded. BY
Ia strange coincidence at the same
time that this was enacted in spite
Of opposition from the railroads, the
commission was promulgating rnl-
ing to the same effect in the case Of
the Southern California Fruit Grow
ers' Association against the Salt Lake
route.
1t is said that this ruling will be
most used by shippers to punish rail-
roads which they consider imposed
hipon them in the matter of freight
rates. II is the claim of the shippers
that previously they did not have dis
cretion in the matter of routing their
own business. 50 as to get the most
expeditions service. 1t is contended
by railroad men that shippers are not
the best judges Of routes, as they
have not made the same study of
| lines and connections as freight ex-
perts They assert that very often
| a shipper selects route which is
very roundabout, simply because he
thinks and wants to crafty a griev'
ance he has against some certain line.
Formerly the railroads ins1tod upon

DRESSING FOR HOT WEATHER

AS experts seldom agree on any
thing. il is not surprising that they
fail TO agree on the question of
proper clothing for hot weather.
Some years ago the wearing of dark
colored underclothing was suggested
by a scientific student of the effects
of light on health. Other authorities
scoffed at the idea. and it was for
gotten.
II seems, however, that British AMI
French military experts have favored
such protection for the soldiers sta
toned at tropical posts, the theory
being that it does artifieially for the
Europeans what nature has done for
the natives by heavily pigmentins
their skins.
We learn too, that the public is be-
ginning to purchase dark-colored I'M.
derclothing, having discovered its eff
ficacy in warding off heat. Whether
the doubling or sneering experts viii
now reverse their opinions remains to
be seen.
AS to the "over" clothing, there is
general agreement that light colors
should be preferred, Health boards
strongly recommend fewer, lighter
and thinner garments for the summer
months, and one reason why men
49,. . -,,synr NOVA frn,r hnat than
women is generally found in their
absurd or cowardly disregard OF sane
advice as to dress. Some have tried
shirtwaists and come to grief in res
taurants and hotels and other public
places. but surrey there is a halfway
house between the thick, heavy vest
and coat, plus two shirts, and the
shirtwaist
II is remarkable how little We
think of protection against heat and
how resigned we are to discomfort
and misery in summer. The subjec
of "anti-stoves" or refrigerators for
private homes and offices has been
touched upon in these columns, but
that involves more expense and
trouble than proper clothing. Why
not dress more appropriately in sum
merg Is it because summer is short,
heat waves few and far between, op-
timism high and official boosting Of
cities as ideal summer resorts more
effective than one supposes it to be?
