by far the most Common Of these
types.
The advantages and Disadvantages
OF these three types may be briefly
stated as follows: Above-ground
houses can, as a rule, be more conom-
ically constructed than either OF the
other designs. Excavations are expen-
sive to make and dificult to insulate
and drain properly. Insulation and
drainage are two Of the most impor-
TAM factors in the preservation OF Ice.

Storage OF Fruits.
In order that fruits may be held for
long periods In storage 1t Is necessary
that a uniform low temperature be
maintained In the storeroom. With
many products a uniform temperature
is of more Importance than a low tenn
p~erature. With apples, which is the
crop usually held in storage, 1t Is de-
sirable that the fruit reach an adj

sary that the storage house be provid-
ed with means Of reducing the temper
allure to the required point ard hold
ing 1t there until natural conditions
permit the introduction of cold air
from the outside.
Several systems have been used for
accomplishing this result. The simplest
is to build the ice house as a two-story
structure and to store the ice above
and the fruit below. The ice may be
stored at harvest time in an ice house
in an Ice chamber arranged over the
room in which the fruit Is to be held,
or the place may be simply a tempo

transferred at the time the fruit is
stored. Both these plans have been
followed, but the one to be used in
any particular instance will depend
upon the cost of handling the ice and
the certainty of the fruit harvest.

RED CROSS NOTES

Attendance at Red Cross head
quarters this week has been eXcep-
tionally good and a large quantity of
finished goods has resulted.
The local branch of the Red Cross
is running short on funds and more
money must be made available very
soon. Benefit dances and other en-
tertainments by lodges and organiza-
tiOns are urged as an excellent
means of increasing the eXchequer
and making possible a maximum
amount Of work.
Objection was raised by some few
of the Red Cross workers this week
when they were given work other
than that which they were accustom-
ed to do. Not all of the work for
the Red Cross is entirely pleasant,
some being very trying and not so
desirable as other. However, all Of
the work must be done, and the truly
patriotic worker is the one who takes
what is given her without protest.
Through the unwillingness of some
of the workers to engage in certain
classes of the work the chairman is
often placed in a trying position and
the efficiency of the enterprise is
ieopardized Such conditions should
not exist where patriotism and serv-
ice to humanity are the impellng
motives.

OUSLEY
ADDRESSES COLLEGE
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Talks on Food Conservation

Colonel Clarence Ousley, assistant
secretary of agriculture, Washington
d. c., and recognized as one of the
strongest leaders in the war emerg-
ency propaganda of the country, de-
liyered an address in the auditorium
last Saturday upon the conservation
of food.
Colonel Ousley graphically ex-
planned the reason for the food short
age by stating that forty million
producers have been taken out of the
field of production and have been
set to work destroying, and it is not
possible for the remainder to con-
struct as fast as they destroy"
The speaker also emphasized the
graveness of the war situation, stat
ing that he did not for moment fear
that the Germans would break the
western line, but that it was the eco
nOmical strain on France, England,
and Italy which he feared would re-
suit in a breakdown. THE only
way" he declared lin which such
breakdown can be avoided is for the
United States to increase production
and conservation, and to send all the
material which is necessary for the
continued keeping up of the spirits
of the war-worn, and in so doing we
will bring about a speedily termina-
ton of the war"

series of addresses before Northwest
ern audiences, having spoken at coast
cities before coming here

SOME PLAIN FACTS
ABOUT SOCIAL EVILS

Mrs. r. Glover state field secre-
tary for the Pacific Coast Rescue and
Protective society, is in the city on
official duties. The society main
tains homes in Idaho, Washington,
Oregon and California where girls
who have gone wrong may be cared
for and given course of efficient
training in domestic science, sewing,
embroidery and music, and may also
take special training in the nursery
and obstetric departments and fit
themselves for paying positions
Mrs. Glover says: Many a hayward
girl has found her self, as it were,
and gone out from the homes WISE
self-sufficient and useful woman to
life of peace and happiness.
Girls who are wilfully hayward
arouse our sympathy, but nothing in
the world seems so sad and so das-
tardly as the cases of those who, in
absolute innocence, are entrapped.
1T is fact that white slavery
exists in this country in the most
literal and absolute form. The traf-
fic is commercialized. and cash prices
of tempting amounts are more or
less standardized, and paid for every
new victim caught in the net.
Eve have also found in our work
that there is too much looseness in
the relations of many young people
belonging even to respectable fam
lilies. 1t is time for plain talk, and
| hope you will print the whole truth
and warn parents of young girls and
boys to make the home training
careful and watchful. | have found
among some high schools conditions
almost unbelievable, and sometimes
in the grade schools. Unceasing
carefulness and early home instruc-
ton in right and wrong and the aw-
full penalties in disease and mental
and physical suffering that are sure
to follow deviation from the right
path are part of every parents duty.
You can not too deeply impress
the Importance of this advice to par
ents, who in too many instances can
blame their own lack of vigilance for
what happens. The greater number
of our girls have been from the ages
of II to II years.
often we find that one of the
most successful aids to capturing
girls and starting them downward is
chewing gum soaked in chloral.
which deadens the senses until the
dastardly crime is accomplished.
Girls, beware how you deport
yourselves. l believe no girl intends
to go wrong deliberately that has a
normal mind. but bad associates and
loose behavior often dooms some of
our brightest girls and boys to lives
OF suffering and shame"

Dear Folks:

January s, 1918.
Dear Folks;
The only thing | can plead as a
reasonable cause for not sending sep
arate letters is that there is little
enough to write, and our intensive
system of absorbing navy engineer
ing rules and regulations, together
with the disciplinary routine imposed
upon us, does not leave very much
time for any separate interests apart
from engines. boilers, ice machines,
evaporators, quarterback, port side,
gangway and all other new and for
eign expressions.
Have | surely given You an idea
of the place here? The streets are
narrow, like Schnectady--bu have
you ever been in that city? Well
anyhow, the streets are little wider
than is necessary for the wagons tot
pass if they squeeze, and the side
walks will allow three people abreast
with no room to meet anyone.
The hotel is called "Caroel Hall
of Winston Churchill story fame. III
is set back among the trees and isl
made with two long wings and cen
ter or reception hall, where there is
a large room with easy chairs and
prettily lighted effects. You step IN
from the grim, crookey, dark-looklng
streets and imagine you are again IN
fine, quiet home. There is an air
of peace and sort of take-it-easy at
mosphere where one could loaf for
an hour very nicely indeed.
The quarters consist of two

a long l. each way. There are rooms
for two men, with indirect system Of
lighting.
