as September l. The dealers of the
east do not object to the increase,
but they very properly object to the
date fixed for making the new sched-
ule operative. The California pro-
ducts. for delivery in September, octo-
Der and November. are sold by the
growers to the wholesalers before they
are OF the trees. and the wholesalers
in turn sell their future orders to the
retail trade before they are shipped
from the coast, basing their prices on
the price paid the grower plus the
freight rate. Thus, practically all of
the September. October and November
deliveries have been sold on the basis
of the freight rate in force previous
TO the recent order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, so that the
whole eastern market has been upset
by the proposed advance.
This works an unnecessary hard
ship on the wholesaler and the re-
taller and it is only proper that they
should ask that the date for putting
the new freight rates in force be rea-
sonably postponed.

The United States government is go

going to lend money. Business of all
kinds is largely conducted upon bor-
roweG capital. and the fact that new
sources of credit are thus to be opened
up ought to encourage young men to
go into business for themselves.
But here is a fact to be noted The
government is going to lend money only
upon land. Not upon motor cars, dress
suits, golf sticks or silk socks. Young
men who have money invested in this
kind of property, or in accomplishments
like dancing, playing the banjo or
knocking pool balls about with facility
will not be able to do business with the
new banks.
II even the United States government,
which has sometimes been thought to
be rather loose in throwing money
around, will look at nothing but the
land-the solid old earth that grows
corn and wheat and does not melt away
overnight-then. perhaps. young men
would do well to look into the matter
of acquiring some of that kind of col

SUMMER IN THE CITY
By Frederic ]. Haskin
BY BRIGGS

which fans kept a current of cool dry
air in circulation, but his head was
exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
Under these circumstances the mon
key lived for an indefinite period
The conclusion obtained from these
experiments was that in the first and
second instances the humidity of the
monkeys body, and not the sun, had
stitted him. For this reason it is de-
clded that violent exercise on a hot
summer day is weakening because it
increases the humidity of the body,
but on the other hand. a slow moder-
ate walk should prove very benefi-
cial.
The problem of keeping cool in
summer, whether in a metropolis or
forest, Is a serious one and should re-
celve lot more attention than it does.
1t has Just been within the past few
years that cooling apparatus has been
installed in hospitals and factories and
the suggestion of a cooling system as
we'll as heating system in the aver
age house is still rejected as absurd.
Yet If people can afford to pay for
coal and gasoline, they can certainly
buy ammonia, and especially where
there are young children and babies it
should be made criminal offense not
to install cooling apparatus of some
kind if only a small fan. just the same
as If in winter people would be CEN
sured if they attempted to bring up a
family in a house that contained no
heating provisions.
In the matter of food the city is es-
pecially weel supplied in the summer.
The farmers ship their best products
to the large cities where there is a
constant and certain market for them,
and a municipal health department
sees to it that the city's milk is clean
and fresh.
So, after all, a great deal may be
said in favor of the city in summer.
For the poor who are compelled to
stay whether they want to or not,
there are the municipal bathing pools
and quite recently in some cities the
hospital launch which takes the ailing
children of poor parents for trips on
the rivers and coasts. There are the
amusement parks to offer diversion,
the roof gardens for dancing and the
soda fountain for refreshment. Occa-
sionally there are some very good
park concerts, as, for instance, the
famous concerts of Willow Grove
heard by residents of PHILADELPHIA.
While the city cannot compare with
the freedom of camp life or the seem
cry of our coasts. nor with the cool
fragrant stretches of the farm and
open country, 1t has its compensations.

JAMES Russ

TINE death OF James Russ removes
from Harrisburg one OF its best
known and most picturesque
figures. From an obscure boyhood he
arose in early manhood TO the repu-
tation of being one Of the best hotel
men in the whole country and he num-
bered as his friends men prominent
in the political life Of the State and
nation. His kitchen was noted for its
cookery and his dining room for its
dinner parties. where far more i'm
portant matters than the excellent
food he served were discussed. He
was Of the old school OF hotel pro-
prietors whose personality did much
for the success Of the places they
managed. He was OF the period when
hotel management was a matter OF
personal skill and taste and he won
his fame before the impersonal hotel
corporation, with its collective effici-
ency, replaced the individuality that
used to be held responsible for the sue
cess or failure OF a hostelry to please
its patrons. The class TO which James
Russ in his prime belonged is rapidly
passing, and it is a matter Of regret
that it is SO.

clared that all these islands should be
use OF its citizens. No one will Ques-
ton the correctness OF this attitude
and while title has been given to per-
sons here and there to these islands
which should be the property of the
municipality or the Commonwealth II
ought to be an easy matter to take
over all such islands and hold them
for all the people.
Especially ought it to be the policy
of the Department of Parks in this
city TO gain immediate possession of
the islands which are included within
the basin between the Rockville Gap
and the southern limits of the city
With the increasing use of the river as
place OF recreation. the necessity
for control and supervision of these
island retreats is apparent.
At the present time. with the excep-
ton OF the large island upon which
are located the public Fairgrounds
and the city's filter plant. not to men
ton the baseball field and city nurs-
cry. the other islands are covered with
underground and no effort has been
made TO put them IN condition for
public use. Now would seem 10 be
the opportune time for considering
the taking over OF all these islands.
OF course, under the powers OF the
Department OF Parks, any island may
be condemned and taken for city uses
so that private ownership cannot be
made a speculative proposition in any
case. But it would be well for City
Commissioner Gross to take this mat
ter into consideration now so that
measures may be devised for trans
ferring the rights of all the islands
to the city and the people OF Harris
burg forever.
