room there are thousands of dollars worth of linen that was purchased some time ago in anticipation of the increase in price of this. class of goods. The supply on hand in this room will last the company for two years Am other room on the second floor is given over to crockery and glassware. still another to empty bottles, which are re turned to the manufacturers. There is a stock room for the very few cases of canned goods that are used. Prac- ttcaIIy all foodstuffs served in the com panyss dining cars are received fresh daily There are certain foodstuffs that have to be bought in cans, such as eardines, and certain vegetables in the winter months.
 T&ere arc also on this floor six large lockers, each of which contains com pIete equipment used in a dining car. These lockers ara for emergency use, and the equipment is kept 1n this order to facilitate equipping of extra cars wheAthe necessity arises.
 M6dern Refriaeratfna, System.
 Probably the most interesting part of the new plant is the refrigerating sys- tenn that has been installed on the main floor. This plant has several compart- mentA Ono is solely for fish and oysters, another for fruit and vege- tahles, another for poultry. another for meat 1otEee for smoked meats, an- other for butter and eggs. another for milk and cream and still another for cheese Each of these compartments Is kept at a certain temperature by thermestats, but the temperature is never permitted to get down to the freezing point. It is the poHcy of the New Haven railroad to serve only Greoh foodstufrs, and not even the pcul- try is permitted to freeze. The tenn peratures maintained in the various compartments range from 34 to 4O de grees above zero.
 The principal feature of this plant is that the pipes are located above the storage space and separated from the Roodstu6s by 8 bunker arrangement. This permits circulation of the cold air through openings on either side of the bunker down into the compartments and prevents the frost that accumu- lates on the pipes from coming into close proximity with the food. There Is also a separate door above each compartment by which the pipes may be reached to be cleaned and seraped of the frost. This system of refriger- attng has been pronounced the most sanitary in existence. Before it was Installed the engineers and the dining car superintendent Investigated and studied every known system to make sure that the proper plant had been selected.
 The racks in the compartments upon which the foodstufs are placed are constructed so that they may be taken down and removed with little effort for purposes of cleaning. These conapart- ments are cleaned regularly at ire Quent intervals.

land intricate proposition. When all the food that is served in the dining cars is cooked especially for each meal on the car, as is done OF the New Haven dining cars, no detail is too in- significant to receive the closest atten- tion of all concerned with the manage ment. The dining car service of the New Haven railroad has been l1kened to the resta urant service of a large ho- tel run on the 1nstallment plan. The New Haven railroad serves nearly 5OO,- 900 meals year on its cars. There are fifteen separate 'Erestaurants'' in the system, each one of which is on wheels. Each of these '@restaurants'' has a manager, three or four cooks and several walters. All of them, however, are under one infringement. They receive their supplies from one central storehouse. The meals served are aimed to be as freshly cooked as one could obtain in hotel restaurant. These moving eating places travel on week days total of about 5000 miles.
 Fresh food freshly cooked is the rule of the dining car service of the New
 Haven railroad. This rule is not a mere advertising slogan of the service.

 castings, owing to the cost~of coke, pig iron and labor, have advanced be- tween 50 and 65 per cent. Metal parts cannot be had short of from six to nine months delivery.
 MT. Punderford says there are sev- eraI large orders for equipment in the hands of manufacturers, whoch have been delayed for months, and even when they do arrive and the steep price is paid the company has practically no ground for complaint and are only too glad to have the or der filled. Equipping the pay-as- you CT ter cars has cost the company a small fortune, because of this tre- mendous advance in the price of ma terfaI and added to the operation trou- bles, help shortage, inadequate coal supply and severe weather experienced this winter the Connecticut company has had and still has a fight against big odds on it's hands that will tax the ability of it's most competent execu- tive officials.

Modern COmrniSsarfat For the New Haven
New Plant Installed In Boston For the < Distribution of Food For COrnpany's M Dining Cars-PrepariIlg Meals In Hotels on Wheels.

In addition to the refrigeratfng plant on the ground floor, there are the re- ceiving and distributing departments and also rooms for storing special arti- c1es, such as bottled goods, cigars and case goods. All food that is received is checked, inspected and weighed. Not only are the goods inspected after arrival, but attention is also paid to the means of conveying the goods to the plant If the merchant has not ex- ercised sufficient care in packing and covering the goods for transit to the building the company refuses to take them. Tn the case of fruits and vege- tables this is an important factor, par ticu1arly in hot weather.

 NOTED COLLE:CIAN
Dewitt Hyde, Head oz Bow doin, College. Advocates Preparedness but 3:avors Peaceful Measures First And Action Last.

l New Haven, March 14.-'To have
 military power is a national necessity"
 declared Dr. William Dewitt Hyde,
 Friday afternoon in the Lyman Beech 1 CT lecture in Marquand chapel when speaking the subject of prepared
 ness. ITO use it save as a larst des- perate resort, is national disgrace" 1 he continued. We cannot think world thoughts worthiIy without be- ing prepared for whatever sacrifice our l world-respons may call Not in readiness for aggression or insolent interference in the affairs of other na- tOns; but in sympathy for all who are in disorder and oppression, we must be strong enough to render cur req sonab1e and proportionate service; by peace wherever peaceful arbitration is possible; by war wherever righteous war is unavoidable. The nation that lives up to the gospel of Good Will
 must accept the perpetual sacrifice which worldwide responsibility in wolves. On no easier or cheaper terms can any nation rise from nom
 ina1 to vital Christianity. The more we prepare for war in this spirit; the
 more jealous shall we be to avoid war, and wherever possible establish jus
 tice through arbitration and treaty
 Here as everywhere sacrifice is not made for itself. The fearful sacri- fee of war is one to be prepared for at all times; but actually to be made only when every device of patience, rernonstrance, arbitration and nego- tiation has proved unaVai1ing.
 f'The Gospel of-Good Will requires the nation to bring reasonable mili- tary preparedness to the altar; but it bids the nation search earnestly in the thicket for the tangled ram of
 such conciliation as will save the actual sacrifice of it's sons on the red altar of war. Every Christian nation must stand ready to do what Belgium did in 1914. But we hope and pray that the spread of the gospel of Good Will may render the actual offering of so costly a sacrifice never again a national necessity.
 t'The sacrifice of the Christian soI- dier, in addition to those which are inherent in the profession, and which every soldier must make, is the re- pression of all malice toward those whom he fights. Good Will permits no Song of Hate but requires that the hands be outstretched in helpful ness to the enemy the instant he sur- renders. As long as evil men and nations bring on unjust wars, good men and nations must stand ready to fight in self defence and in defence while Good Will sets limits to hate and malice it sets none to the energy and efficiency with which unavoidable war while it lasts shall be prosecuted. A man nation, however, that fights where arbitration is a practical sub stitute for war, fails utterly of the sacrificial spirit which is essential to fellowship in Good WilI.''
 The general topic of pr. Hyde's Iec- ture was Sacrifice" and he drew beautiful example as set by Bel gium.

The reconstruction of a building in Boston for the storage of foodstuffs and supplies used on it's dining cars has Just been completed by the New Haven railroad. The new building not only Bives a g1-ssssy increased capacity, but also pr9vAc3ss the most modern and eff 6cient recy1geratng system that could be found for the purposes desieed.

TROLLEY GO.
 SQUEALS WHEN
 WAR PRICES HIT

New Haven, March 14.-That the | tremendous advance in the cost of trolley supplies and the great diff1- cu1ty in having orders for equipment properly filled and delivered are prob lems of serious consequence to the Connecticut company, that will short 1y assume national importance, is the
 statement of Vice President John K. Punderford, who urges that the pub lie consider all sides of the problem in l it's criticism of the company.
 1 '"The supply situation. as far as the | trolley companies are concerned, is 1 indeed a grave one," he says. ''In fact, | the public does not really know what
 we are up against for not only are we being forced to pay exorbitant
 it is actually becoming next to impos-
 sib1e to have orders filled out and de-
 livered.''
 | MT. Punderford explained that con- cerns which manufacture trolley equipment are at present working day and night on intuition and foreign orders and not inclined to cater to domestic trade a result of which they refuse to fulfill orders only at their own disposition or not at all.
 One of the largest firms in the coun- try producing copper trolley wire has sent out notification that it is prom ising deliveries of not less than 10 | months and does not care for the bus l mess at that. Firms dealing exten- [ sive1y in iron, steel and wire, although | not so exacting as the copper con cerns, they are positively refusing to prepare orders within four or five l months time.
 The price of equipment is enormous. For instance six inch trolley wheels, which sold last year for $1.3o, are now hard to get for $2, while steel trolley poles are practically out of stock.
 Trolley rope has gone up two and three cents during the past few months, being affected by the cotton market, as are also tapes for winding armatures. Cotton waste, purchased last year on contract at 1-2 cents a pound for colored and 1-2 cents a respectively.
 steadily advanced in price during the past few months, the increase at pres ent amounting to about 70 per cent Field and armature coils in the last three months have scared in price 30 and 40 cents over previous prices while dry batteries cost the Connecti- cut company to-day just 33.S per cent. more than a short time ago Plate glass figures about 25 per cent. high CT in price than it did two months ago, and window glass 36 to 40 per cent, higher. Bolts, nuts and washers have jumped fully 50 per cent. and i car axles are about $1.50 per 100 lbs. Even baII-bearing prices are away up. High speed twist drills have increased in price 800 per cent. and even if the consents to pay this price 1 they are very difficult to obtain Gears

The strictest care is being taken that seeds be bought only for bona f1de purposes An American in Der
 lin, the owner of small garden, or
 dered seed potatoes from Erfurt, and
 was surprised a week later to receive
 from a dealer blank form on which
 the police were to certify to the fact
 that he owned a gardel. and was
 therefore entitled to buy seed pota-
 toes. Otherwise he might have eat-
 en seed potatoes that cGSt threefold 1I.ore than ordinary ones.
 The Imperial Government, which
 had taken no action last year for the encouragement of vegetable grow ing, has now established a special bu- reau at Berlin for that purpose. It has appointed a horticultural expert to take charge of it and to inaugurate and conduct a countrywide campaign for the increase of vegetable produc- ton. His plan of operations em- braces practical measures of help, be- sides mere propaganda. All avail able lands about cities, factory sites and elsewhere will be put into vege- tables and properly cultivated. The superintendent of gardening is com municating with the various economic war organizations to induce them to look after supplies of manure for the armies of volunteer gardeners thus to be called into the field; the waste from slaughter-houses and cold-sto- rage plants, and the sweepings from the streets are to be turned over to them at a very low cost.
