The lavish use of ice in dairies en-
ahles milk to be carried farther than

article that the supply needed for
our big cities has to come from
comparatively small area. Fruit
which formerly was seldom seen out
side OF the tropics because II could
not remain fresh through a long
voyage is now almost as common in
our markets as in tho lands where

SURFACE PRINTED STAMPS
Inferior Ink Material CompeIs the
New Method.

The government has adopted a
new process in tho manufacture Of
| the current postage stamps OF the
| cent and 3-Cent denominations and
| the war Ia responsible. For the first
| time In Americas history surface
| printed franking labels are being
made at the hureau Of engraving and
| printing at Washington, as compared
with the line engraved method used
for the turning out OF the stamps Of
| the values other than the ones and
| the threes.
The pyrltes which the govern
| ment has been able, TO obtain lately
are Of inferior grade, and. as this
| product liz the chief one In the inks
| used for the printing OF stamps, the
| ink itself has been Of poorer quality
containing grit which has destroyed
the surface OF the steel plates 50
fast that ste supply of the ones and
threes was threatened with exhaus-
| ton. The new surface printing way
| OF making the stamps, involving the
| use OF the camera, is only tempora-
ry. pending the receipt OF supplies Of
pyrites OF the proper grade, but the
| stamps which are turned out In this
new manner meanwhile furnish new
varieties FOR phllatelists.
James Perkins of Massachusetts,,
founder Of stamp-printing firm
| that bears his name today On Lon
don), devised the method OF decar-
Donating steel. that is, making II
soft FOR engraving purposes, longer
| than a century ago. Use OF steel
plates assured Identity of design in

No Reading Segregation.

At secret meeting OF the dominating
stockholders Of the Reading company
held within the past two weeks It was
decided that the company's railroad and
subsidiary properties would be kept in
tact at this time. This decision was
reached after full discussion OF tie
benefits of segregation, and apprpxi-
mately SIS per cent Of the Reading stock
was represented at the conference. The
question. OF separating the Reading coal
properties had been under consideration,
for until the latest form OF railroad con-
troll contract was drawn up II had been
intimated by the Railroad Administra-
ton that all outside holdings of railroads
would lave to be divorced from the
transportation systems. The final form
of the standard contract Indirectly dis
poses of this matter and 1t was with a
knowledge of this new development that
the Reading interests decided there
would be no division OF coal assets for
the present What will happen wi en-
the Reading suit now before the SUI
preme Court is settled is another story.

What Contract Provides.

The reason first given by Railroad
Administration representatives for sug-
gested separation of the outside proper
ties OF the roads was that many of these
concerns sold supplies and materials to
the roads which owned or controlled
them. as well as to other systems, and
It was believed that they should be
operated as Independent companies
rather than railroad subsidiaries In

executives signature this matter is taken
