Long before old Sol had made ms ap,

their places in line for from 10 cents TO

they hurried back to the end or the nne
to gradually move up and again sell out
as time went on and the line increased In

In the line.
That is why so many newsooys Were

A Losing Game.

IT happened on one of the Avenue cars.
: The congressman. lounging back in one
OF the seats, had pulled out a handful OF
change to pay a newsboy for paper. In
returning it to his pocket. a bright silver
half dollar dropped to the floor of the
car. 1t rolled to the feet of young
woman directly back of the lawmaker

it pass from his mind as he opened the
pages of his paper.
Back toward the rear of the car We're

under their arms for their Capitol Hill

dollar and the losers evident contempt
for 1t. Their eyes cleaned with anticipa
ton. and they edged forward a bit closer
so as to be prepared for the rush when
the congressman left the car. At New

cover the principal settlements along the
Canal Zone and are found also at Porto
Bello and Toro Point. In these stores
goods are sold in exchange for coupons.

The greatest care is taken a. to the
coming in cold storage chambers, and
that in such a way that the loss is
borne by the shipper. Many of the sup
plies are bought in bulk and put up in
packages here Some are manufactured
on the ground, and. In fact. mighty
business is carried on at the lowest pos
sble cost.
The government has a chemical labo-
ratory to test its purchases. that it may

But we can see something of this feature

bal. Let us first enter the cold storage
plant. This is made of cement and it
covers acres The building is one Of the
largest in the world. and it Is so ar
ranged that the goods can be taken from
the ships to the cold storage chambers
and from them direct to the cars which
carry them to the retail stores and the
consumers There is one train which
goes out every morning.
Before entering the cold storage plant
we are warned to beware of the cold. 1t
is hot here in the tropics and the freez-
ing chambers are almost as cold as the
pole. The men bring us overcoats, ana
we jump from the heat to the cold. Our
first room is a vegetable cooler. the tenn
perature OF which is fifty degrees below
that on the outside of the building. We
are in long hall about fifty feet wide
filed with bales and boxes of vegetab les
and fruit. There are tables at the sides
at which men are sorting potatoes. cab
bages, cucurlbers and celery. picking out
the bad and throwing away anything that
is decayed or not up to sample. There

oranges and grape fuit every week
ask what the grape fruit is worth and
the cold-storage man replied:
I'VE are now selling them for cents
apiece, although the pr ce quoted at home
is cents and upward.
Further on they are sorting lettuce and
lemons. The lettuce comes from New Or
leans. the lemons from Jamaica.
Passing through rooms kept cool by the
dry air system, we enter storage halls
devoted to eggs. butter and cheese. The
