If You Have No Ice

The July Woman Home Compan-
ion contains a great variety of pract-
ical housekeeping suggestions.
Here is one for the hoIsekeeper
who gets along without ice:
Obtain large, common flower
pot and seal the hole in the bottom
with plaster of Paris. Place in the
pot the bottle containing milk, or a
covered crock containing butter, and
fill the pct with water to as great a
depth as possible without the bottle
or crock floating. Cover the pot
with board or a plate and set out
in open air, away from the direct
sunlight, and preferably where there
is current of air. The evaporation
of the water from the surface of the
porous pot will keep the contents
several degrees colder than the
outside air, when there is the slight
est amount of air stirring. The
higher the wind, or the drier the air,
the greater will be the cooling effect.

M'NAMARA JURORS
Alleged Dynamiters' Lawyer
Threatens to Impeach
Two Talesmen.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, Oct 3o.-Deter-
mined to force Jurors Frampton and
Winter from the box without being COM
PEELED to waste peremptory challenges,
the defense in the Mcnamara trial re-
newed it's efforts when court reconVened
today to compel Judge Bordwell to
recogniz challenges against both, be-
cause they said they held conscientious
scruples against infiicting the death pen
atty on circumstantial evidence.
Attorney Darrow and his associates
held a conference before court opened,
and decided that II Judge Bordwell re-
fused to entertain such challenge,
they would later try to impeach both
men. They have witnesses who will
swear that both frequently expressed
the opinion that the defendant was
guilty.
Eye on Future.
The real reason the state Is willing to
accept both men has become known.
District Attorney Fredericks and his as
sociates realize that In the present trial
they are only laying the foundation for
the trial Of John J. Mcnamara. Be-
cause Of the latter's prominent posi-
ton in the labor world and from the fact
that Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
other big leaders Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor are on record as de-
caring John Mcnamara innocent, II is
alleged that his conviction Is earnestly
desired by the interests which are said
to be defraying the enormous expenses

ton Of John J. Mcnamara would be

Following a meeting on last Friday
afternoon, at which Independent candi-
dates showed signs of putting up a
candidate in opposition to a fraternity
man, the leaders of both factions got
together and decided for the good Of
the school to eliminate all social con-
alterations from their class elections.

cadets and one of the anti-frat lead
ers, admitted today that truce had
been made.

timore, Chicago, and other commercial
interests were represented before the
commission when 1T convened this
morning. A corps of attorneys repre-
senting the leading railroads were also
present

of the Chamber of Commerce Of New
York versus the New York Central and
other roads and the import rate case
York Chamber OF Commerce was not
ready to proceed with its case. and.
after some wrangling. 1t was postponed,
and the commission went ahead to hear
testimony in the import rate case, with
the understanding. however, that on
final consideration or decision the two
cases should be taken up together.
For Reasonable Rates.
The position of New York, as set forth
by counsel, Is that the commission has
not the power to arrange rates so as
to divert traffic from New York to other
ports. and that all 1t can do Is to settle
on Just and reasonable rates to each
port.
Boston commercial interests and the
majority Of the Philadelphia CONNER
cial interests expressed themselves as
Of the rates on imports. This Is an ar
rangement under arbitration of the
commission In 1910. whereby Baltimore
is put on the same plane as to rates
on goods Imported as Boston, and

proves to be of real service it will be

others. With that number of machines
