Study OF Some Things Which A.
feet Final Delivery of Food
to Consumer.
QUESTION OF RAPID TRANSIT
Fresh Meats and Other PerishabIe
Products From Farms Must Be
Speeded Up at Every Stage
Delay Means Shrinkage.

One of the fundamental factors In
the problem of feeding towns and cit
les is that of transportation. Since
city dwellers are so dependent upon
transportation for their foodstuffs, 1t
may be interesting to study some Of
the things which affect the final deliv-
cry of food and especially meats to the
consumer.
Transportation difficulties begin with
the stock raiser, whether he Is n
rancher in the West, a corn belt farm
er or other agriculturist who produces
live stock for food. In the early days,
before our railroads were In existence
or before they were the principal
factors in getting stock to market,
cattle. hogs and sheep had to be
driven or hauled long distances to
reach a selling point or a point from
which they could be shipped by boat
or rail. This was very expensive
way of moving stock; It not only took
a long time but the loss of animals
and the loss of flesh by these animals
was also considerable, even though the
values per pound were very little COM
Troubles Of Stock Grower.
The first trouble the stock grower
or dealer today has in getting his
stock to market is to get to railroad
point to ship his animals to one Of
the various large stockyards to be
sold. Bad roads, adverse weather and
perhaps a long drive or haul to the
shipping point all affect the length of
time required; then there may be a
temporary shortage of cars and stock
must be held in the railroad stock
yards and fed until cars are provided.
Once loaded into cars, however, there
is special effort made to get to the
market in the shortest possible time.
Delay means abnormal shrinkage; IL
the cars are on the road 80 hours the
stock must be unloaded for feed and
water; or the market may drop sud
denly; hence the necessity for speed.
Shipping Fresh Meats.
In order to ship fresh meats sue
cessfully they must be thoroughly
chilled before loading and then trans
ported In refrigerator cars, especially
uuTlHB lut WuTlutT Wtulhtlp ntzhugh,
this practice is followed the year
round. These cars have ice tanks at
each end, which are filed with Ice
and q percentage of salt and the car
chilled to about 80 to 80 degrees Fab
renheit. Also they are provided with
ventllating or circulating systems in
order to keep the temperature in all
parts of the car as nearly uniform as
possible. In making long shipments,
and especially during the warmer
months, 1t Is necessary to ice the car
one or more times en- route to keep
the temperature as low and as con-
slant as possible. Even then on
account of bad weather, wrecks or
any other condition that causes undue
delay, the meat may not be In first
class condition on Its arrival at the
destination and must therefore be sold
quickly even at some sacrifice In price.
Speed Is Essential.

will be deserved. We have already
received letters pointing the finger Of
suspicion at two of the plays which
carry message. Both the charges
were silly enough, but we must admit
that one of them startled us. 1t was
in regard to a play which We con-
dcmned on the ground that the hate
was served too hot. The man who
wrote the letter declared that the play
in question was ro-German because

For our own part, we think that
manufacturing hate should be listed as
essential industry, but even if
we dix not believe that we could still
make a case against the prevailing
type of war play. We might say it

| There Is curious technical difficulty
in regard to the war melodrama. We
have become accustomed to regarding
melodrama as entirely fanciful. We
have looked to it as an Interpretation
of life as it ought to be. The charac.
tcrs have been moulded for us, not to
be realistic, but to be pleasing. Mclo
drama has reflected the dream of the
superman And it must not be forgot
ten that in the old type of melodrama
the villain was at least as attractive
as the hero There was gesture to all
his villany. His wickedness was whole
sale. The Kisses which he received
were~ not condemnation, but tribute.
Indeed, in addition to the crook PLAYS
there have been numerous others in
which the villain was the most popu
lar character in the piece.
The war play has changed all that.
In the first place, it cannot get away
altogether from reality Few people
are willing to accept war, even when
highly romanticzed, as desirable
otdtC iCI tic WOIlQ. Our melOQTamAS
no longer deal with life more at
tractive than we know Almost every
one has some personal reaction which
makes the war real. He cannot view
tale of adventure at the front in the
same detached, impersonaL way in
which ne would view the adventures of
Sherlock Holmes. And, worst of all. he
can no longer have a sneaking admira-
ton for the villain because the villain
is now a Prussian. Usually he is
spy, and always his villany is COM
promised by things which are mean as
we'll as those which are wicked. Things
are getting to such state in melo-
drama these days that the villains are
too unpleasant to be Kissed.
