TUST as the reduction Of her ice bill /:
to the economical housekeeper a
problem to be solved, SO when the
summer months come around Uncle Sam
too puts on his thinking cap and attempt:
to find means of decreasing the cost o.
ice for his household. In several OF the
departments in the past various mean:
have been employed to accomplish this
But during the past week an ice plant
has been installed in the subbasemenl
under the courtyard of the State, Wal
and Navy building that gives promise
of the settling Of the matter Tor many
summers to come.
Statistics show that the cost OF Ice
per hundred pounds in 1910 was Is cents
more than was paid for the same
quantity five years before. There were
no changes in the quantity OF Ice con-
sumed or in the places OF delivery tnat
seemed to warrant such an Increase IN
price. Thus it became necessary, be-
fore another year should be added to
this record, for the government to de-
termine upon a plan to reduce the ice
bill that eats so into appropriations.
The maater was laid before Congress
and $4,000 was appropriated to furn1sh
an ice plant which should supply the
State. War and Navy building, the
White House, the Lemon. Mills and
several other smaller buildings. Five
thousand dollars of the appropriation
was for the cost Of the machine to be
purchased from the lowest reliable
bidder. and the other $4,000 to be spent
in preparing a place for the plant.
These plans have just been completed
at a trifie less than the appropriation.
Several Of the coal vaults under the
courtyard of the State, War and Navy
building were cleaned out and the par
tftfons removed There the machine
has been installed and vault made
for storing the Ice This vault Is
lined with cord board, a substance
made of small pieces of cork held to-
gether by asphalt or some other mate
rial of a similar nature. y coating or
renders 1t almost heatproof.
With the aid Of brine pipes and the
the vault Is kept at suficlent-
~ low temperature to preserve the Ice.
Into a large area Of floor space in the
plant cans filled with filtered water
are imbedded. The machine circulates
gas through these hundred
and ten cans and by means OF brine
pump brine is distributed to aid in the
freezing At the end OF forty-eight
hours a 300-pound cake is drawn from
each can and sent through chute into
he storage room.
In one day the machine, operating
twenty-four hours continuously, is
capable of freezing ten tons Of ice.
The demand, however. is not over Ave
.ons per day. Thus by operating the
Machine from eight to ten hours only
Zach day a sufficient supply Of ice can
,e made. Perhaps the only thing nee
,ssary to complete the plant is a de-
livery wagon. This. however, must be
supplied by each department, for the |

only to carry ice to the !:
DOR OF the plant. From there it is de- |
ivered to the courtyard by means of |
lift and thus into the possession Of /
he various departments.

LONDON. July 22.-Only a few weeks

ject lesson. showing them that in spite
Of all their wealth they are absolutely
dependent on other countries for their
food When the strike had lasted only a
little over a week and the ports Of Hull
and Grimsby had been closed to the i'm

the people Of the whole northern part of
The country began to feel the pangs of
starvation.
Warnings of the strike had been many
and in shipping and Industrial circles 1t
must have been known that it was COM
ing. but nobody paid any attention to 1t.
Like the nobility of France during the
years that preceded the great revolution,
the people OF England refused to see the

houses contained provisions OF all kinds
only for few days. and, when the daily
arrival Of steamers from ahrt All was sud
denly interrupted, the people of England
found themselves in the same situation as
the inhabitants of Paris in 1871, after a
siege OF many months. The leaders OF
the strike We're certainly very considerable.

ruined the whole coronation.
The events of the last few weeks have
shown that the strikers might have bot

leaders were wise in not bringing about
what the snobs would have considered a

Now the strike has been settled, but its
effects are apt to prove very serious, for

ART CRITICISM IN KANSAS
Harvey Parsons Found Much Fault
With His Friends Picture Of the

Albert T. Reid and Harvey Parsons,
two well known Kansas artists, are
very good friends. Reid was one Of
Parsons teachers.
Recently Reid drew handsome wa

were wandering through a field Of
daisies. It is a good piece OF work and
was accepted readily and gladly by the
publishers who ordered 1t.
Just about the time Reid had It fin.

dio.
What are you working on?" asked
Parsons. Reid pointed to an easel on
which stood the picture of the girl and
the COW.
Parsons looked It over for some time
and, blowing out big wreath OF pipe
smoke, asked:
What is the girl going to do?"

CURIOUS BOOKKEEPING,

Not long ago the much.cxploted
system of business managing and ac-
counting which is called "scientifc
management was rejected with scoru
by the L. 5. Navy There were no
words too contemptuous for tho navy TO
use in regard to the proposition that
scientific management should conc in
for the bettermcnt of the accounts aud
the managerial system Of the navy.
But. all at once, pride gets a fall,
Au investigation Of the Washington
navy yard showed an apparent shortage
OF great values in supplies. Inquiry
showed that there had been 10 real
accounting for two or three decades iu
the business Of that navy yard. The
shortage was three million dollars Then
those responsible for that shortage be-
gan to cast about to find what had be.
come of the property. A few strokes
OF lightning memory relieved the
gloom when il was found that the
armaments of the ''Utah'' and the
- Florida were still carried AS n
debit against the navy yard Other
items easily brought into account to
the credit Of the Office reduced the
shortage by more than thirds,
counting in those armaments. This
shortage is now less than a million
dollars. but doubtless other items Of
proper use Of public property will crop
IN. for there is no claim made any
where of any dishonesty in handling
these accounts or the public property at
that ward 1t is simply case of not
keeping up TO date. not posting the
accounts when they should be posted
and balanced.
But ovorsights in bookkeeping which
wlll allow OF an apparent shortage of
S3,OO0.0OO when more than $1,000. 600
Of that amount can easily be accounted
for. is surely very lax and unsatis-
factory way of keeping books If the
new scientific management will i'm
prove things. then the department
should lose no time in installing it.
and thus making the best possible prac-
teal apology for its contcmptuous
