it requires less ice to keep cool after
it is once filled. An ice compartment
opening to the outside is great con-
venience found in many up-to-the-
minute Kitchens. The iceman need
never track up the kitchen or refrig-
orator room; neither is the housewife
required to be at home when the ice
arrives. A certain type of round ice
box has revolving shelves so that
there is never the bother of taking
everything out to find what is wanted
from the far corner. Some of the
newer boxes have water coolers built
pext to the ice compartment. The
idea is excellent, but if the cooler is
large in proportion to the usage Of

Refrigerators.

The first hot April days set us to
thinking OF the iceman and the place
where he stores his wares-the ice
box. Some of us find the old icebox
so far gone that new one is an abso-
Lutte necessity. If it is not an absolute
necessity this year we are more apt
than ever to give the old box an over
hauling and "let it go at that" A
coat or two OF enamel will work Won
ders in the appearance of box, but
il the construction of the box is faulty
no amount OF repairing will remedy
the matter.
In choosing an icebox the cardinal
point to consider is the structure Of
the walls. No refrigerator is cheap at
any price il the walls are inferior. The
principle of refrigerating is to cool the
air of an enclosed box and keep the
outside heat from entering. The walls
must be built of several layers of dif-
ferent materials. enclosing dead air
spaces. Felt of different kinds, sheath
ing, wood and paper are some OF the
materials used. No refrigerator should
be purchased without studying a
cross-section of its walls. All the ma
terials mentioned are nonconductors,
materials which do not permit the
passage of heat. Hence the heat of
the room cannot penetrate the interior
of well-built icebox.
A second important point is the
circulation OF air within the box. Air
in motion in the box keeps the food
fresher. Some boxes are specially
constructed as to this point. The fast
ening of the doors is of importance
because a partly open door means en-
trance of hot air from the outside.
The inside finish of refrigerator
must be clean in appearance and cas-
lily kept clean. All but the least mex
pensive boxes have white walls and
shelves in the food compartments
There is, however, difference in
white materials, and the white enamel
should be chosen for its lasting quail
tiles. The position of the drain pipe
should be considered. The drain
should be cleaned often, about once &
week; hence il should be easily &C
cessible. Some boxes are so con
structed that the drain can only be re
moved after all the shelves are taker
out In well kept refrigerator thu
shelves should not require cleaning a.
often as the drain.
After securing the essentials OF ;

conveniences to be sought il the COS

Discuss Womsn's Service Camps.

Discuss Woman's Service Camps.
One of the questions which the
declaration of war has brought to
society people is. What shall we DO
This summer" Will all those women
who are faithfully rolling bandages'
or learning to do cooking for can
teens, Or learning the looks OF
car from the under side forego Their
usual summer trips to continue TINS
work? II you should suggest such
thing to them, they would probably
resent the implication that they are
not indefatigable.
There is a means OF taking a sum-
mer vacation without deserving duty;
Mrs, Frank w. Bacon, who returned
Friday from Washington, says that
in that city many society women are
planning to spend all or a part oil
their summer at the United States

Service school OF the woman sec
ion OF the Navy league has just gone
on a twenty days encampment. 1t IS
proposed by women In various parts
Of the country to establish camps on
this plan to do preliminary WORK
Such a camp might be opened IN
Nebraska. ,-,
The second encampment opened a
week ago today in Washington with
go women representing forty states
present. The campsite Is on gov
eminent reservation OF twenty. acres
The women live and work under ab-
solutc military rules. Military dis
cipline is enforced from the time
reyeille is sounded, at $50 a. m. until
taps. Officers, doctors, nurses and
others efficient in military service,
from the army, navy and marine
corps. give the instructions.
Tents are all on high ground placed
in military fashion, with streets run
ming north and south. The women
wear khaki suits. There are tents. for
wireless telegraphy signaling, indoor
drills as we'll as for hospital and gen.
eral Red Cross work.
The red, white and blue system
so popular at Plattsburg, has been
introduced TINS year. women Who AZ
tended only one course at the ma,
tional Service school last year WI
wear red and white service stripes
while those who attended two course;
will be entitled to wear the coveted
red, white and blue service stripes.
The courses in addition to ever,
sort of Red Cross work include mill
tary calisthenics and drills under tn
direction of noncommissioned OH
GERS Of the army, navy and marine
corps; setting up exercises and in

WHY FAMILY MOVED TO TOWN
Compelled to Make Change Because of
Poor Schools and Bad Roads
Remedy for Poverty.

''Why don't they go on to a farm p
is the question with which many men
dismiss from their minds the story of
some pOverty-stricken family. The
chances are five to one that that same
family was induced to move to town
because of poor schools and poor roads
in the country. The remedy for much
of the poverty now in our towns is
good roads and good schools in the
country. Why should not country
schools be given the same attention
given city and town schools? Why
should not the children be permitted to
go to them over good roads with dry
feet. instead of wading through mud
and water? Good roads will make the
country a better place in which to live.

PecuIiarities of the Hen.

Hens are funny creatures" observes
a poultry fancier. They have their
likes and dislikes especially dislikes-
If you move a hen she turns crusty
and won't lay eggs. She likes her old
home, and takes an abOminable time
to get used to the new.
IF you wave 4 cloth within sight of
the occupants of your fowl run you
will hear n shocking row. This par
ticular noise is known as the danger
signal and sometimes will be in
dulged in without Il single break for as
long as twenty minutes.
eff you take it into your head to
rearrange the nest-bOxes, depend upon
it Biddy will pay you out. She will
miss that day with her usual egg.
provided they are good, it's wisest
to stick to old things in poultry-keep-
ing, and not to shift them unless you
are compelled to do so. At least,
there's one thing you can change, and
that's the fodder. Hens won't object
to that at all; in fact, they like it"
