Milk Cars Refrigerated BY Brine

Maintaining the temperature OF
refrigerator milk car by means of
brine pipes has been tried out with
success on an electric line serving
large middle Western city, according
to Popular Mechanics Magazine. The
brine coils are located next to the
ceiling of the car, and while IL is
being loaded. they are connected with
the brine tanks in the milk depot re-
frigeration plant. The car Is readily
cooled by this method and remains at
low temperature long enough TO be
drawn much greater distance than
the milk Is hauled at The present
time.

Quiroa Substitute for Wheat.

There has long been cultivated on
the west coast of South America a
plant called "quiriOa." which botan-
lists and cereal experts believe may
prove an excellent substitute for
wheat. in fact preferable to the sub
stitutes now in use. says the Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. This plant,
now attracting particular attention
because of the shortage of food
stuffs. has been cultivated in South
America, in more or less primitive
fashion, since pre-Inca days. The
Department Of Agriculture has I'M
ported several lots of quinoa seed
and seed of related species. and is
making experiments with il in the
hope of finding suitable soil and
climate in this country for its culti-
walton.

Telescoping Railroad Snowshed,.

Important improvements introduced
by the Southern Pacific railroad in
the design OF their snowsheds are
shown in an illustrated article in the
Popular Mechanics Magazine. One Of
these consists Of telescoping units
having a maximum length Of ninety
six feet, which make It possible to
divide long sheds into isolated Sec
uons as means of protection
against the spread Of fire, or for
other purposes. Each unit is made
with removable outside braces and is
mounted on rails, so that a locomo-
tive can draw II into the adjoining

ITALY IS MAKING SLACkERS FIGHT

military service and that of others who
had done their bit and yet paid with
their lives for a moment of weakness.
There were, no doubt. other cOncomi-
tant causes that contributed to weaken
resistance on the Italian front when
the well planned Austro-German often
sive was timely initiated. Thanks to
their superior intelligence services ut
the front and their espionage system in
this country the AustrO-Germans knew
where and when to attack with sue
cess. They resorted to propaganda
among the Italian troops holding posi-.
tons where no fighting had been going
on for a long time.
1t is known now that after the riots
at Turin most Of the munition workers
who were socialists had been sent 10
the front and attached to the units
holding these positions. 1t was among
these lei that the enemy propaganda
was successful, and the deficient resist
ance, due to weakness or treachery,
that rendered the invasion Of Italy pos
sible originated ut a point which could
be easily defended by a handful OF
men. as it was naturally strong and
fOrmidably fortified because it afforded
the shortest way for invasion. Un-
fortunately the men who held this
point gave way.
