1LUSES MONEY H u
SAVED TO GET MARRIED
TWO LIGHT,FINGERED BOYS RE.
LIEVE SYRIAN IN ATLANTA
OF HONEYMOON WAD.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The sad story of
a young Syrian who fell for an an
cient bunco game, and of the loss of
his entire roll, something more than
$4,000, has just been told the police
by the cherries loser, who has small
chance to ever see his kale again.
Young Abraham Ahmelh said the
two bunco artists registered at a To-
cal hotel, giving Dallas and Calves
ton as their homes.
The young shoemaker said he had
been saving up his money in order to
bring his sweetheart from the old
country to this for the marriage cere-
mony, and that she had expected to
cross the ocean within few weeks.
The two men came into his shop
one day recently, he said, and one of
them inquired the way to certain
hotel. The other volunteered to show
him, provided the shoemaker would
come along, and this he agreed to do.
At the hotel the first man offered
the other two S. to be divided among
them for their escort. Then it devel-
oped that he was the owrer &C q gold
mine in Alaska and had inherited
over a million dollars, it is stated.
1t seemed that he was very much
interested in plan to educate Syrian
children in this country and he offer
ed to put up large sum, if Abraham
would put up his money, too, the in
terest to be used for the purpose of
educating the little ones Abraham
agreed, drew his money from the
bank, and then the entire sum was
deposited in a strong box and turned
over to the shoemaker for deposit in
the bank the next day.
There was a good deal of flourish
ing of handkerchiefs during the trans
action, it was stated, but this did not
appear strange to Abraham until the
next day, when he opened the box to
find only twenty dollars left in it.

DRASTIC STORAGE
BILL IS AGREED ON
UNDER ITS TERMS FOOD CAN'T
BE HELD FOR LONGER THAN
YEAR. NO CORNERING.

WASHINGTON, D. CA cold
storage bill along the lines suggest
ed by President Wilson in his high
cost of living message was agreed
upon on Saturday by the house agri-
culture committee.
Under the proposed legislation
food can not be stored for more than
one year and must be plainly mark
ed as cold storage product with the
exact time that it has remained in
storage.
The provisions, already agreed on,
will be part of one of the most far
reaching bills to bring down the cost
of living congress has ever handled.
The whole bill will be framed to pre-
vent a corner on commodities, or use
of cold storage deliberately to en-
nance prices. The entire bill will not
be completed until late this week.
May Be Seized.
Any food kept in storage longer
than year or not properly marked
may be seized by United States agents
under the libel law and put on the
markets of the country, as is now
done with boarded food.
Enforcement of the new law will
be lodged with the secretary of agri-
culture, who is given power to require
reports from all plants.
He will also have power to pre-
vent destruction of food in storage,
and to halt efforts to allow it to be
deteriorated to enhance prices If
some product cannot be kept year
the secretary is given power to order
their distribution at any time the
food value begins to deteriorate. DR..
Harvey Wiley, pure food expert, told
the committee that such food should
not be kept longer than four or five
months.
Chairman Haughen said that prob
ably the only exception to the bill
would be cheese, which, it is believ-
ed, can be stored longer than year
without affecting the market.

U. S LOSS WAS HEAVY
AT CLOSE OF THE WAR
Fifty Out of Every 1000 Killed in
Last Six Months of the Strife.
Heavier Than the British.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Out of ev-
cry 1000 combatant troops in the
American forces on the western
front between June and November,
1918, no less than sos were killed
in battle.
The British suffered lower per
centage of losses. Out of every 1000
of their men 1873 were killed. The
statistics branch of the general staff
made public these figures on Monday.
From June to November of 1918 the
British had 58,494 killed on the west
ern front, while in the same period
the Americans had 1889 killed on
that front.
The highest percentage of battle
deaths per 1000 troops among the
Americans was in October, when H.
994 men were lost, or 14.3 per 1000
This was also the highest water mark
of the six months for the British, for
they lost 1861 combatants in the
month, or 1873 per 1000.

an attempt was about to be made to

BRITISH RAIL STRIKE ENDS
Workers and Premier Lloyd George
Reach Compromise-Men Go Back
and Crisis Is AVcrted.

London, Oct. IA truce was nego-
tiated in the greatest industrial strug-
gle in the history of Britain when
Premier Lloyd George and Andrew
Bonar Law. for the government
reached compromise with the rail-
way mems union and the intermedi-
AIRY union representatives at confer
ence at 10 Downing street The men
agreed to return to work forthwith
pending negotiations of the wage
status under the guarantee that there
viii be settlement by October 81, and
conditionally upon the governments
guarantee that there will be no reduc-
tion in wages before September 80
1920. The men received the additional
guarantee from the government that
no railway workers are to receive less
Than about S12.30 weekly. instead of
about $40 paid them before the war.
as long as the cost of living is not less
than 40 per cent above the pre-war
level. This agreement slaves off the
greatest industrial crisis the British
nation has ever knOwn-the worst
crisis of any time except war in the
past century. The two warning sides
have met each other half way. The
government has yielded TO the strikers
insistence by guaranteeing to keep up
wages. The railmen yielded by re-
turning TO work pending the STABILIZE
ing of wages.

the temperature of the load on arrival
was found to vary from 40 to rs de-
grees Fahrenheit, averaging So de-
grees. These shipments, including 60
cars of peaches with average decay
on arrival of 9.S per cent; 80 cars of
cabbage, average decay 1873 per cert;
9 cars of tomatoes, average decay 258
per cent; 5 cars of cantaloupes, aver
age decay S.4 per cent; and 6 cars Of
strawberries, average decay 38 per
cent.
Decay on arrival does not include
all the deterioration, according to in
vestigatOrs, because many shipments
showing small percentage of decay
arrive overripe and soft, owing to i'm
perfect refrigeration, and these ship
ments deteriorate rapidly while in the
hands of dealers and consumers. But
without considering the decay that oc-
ours after the cars are unloaded, the
percentage of decay in the total num-
Der of cars of fruit and vegetables ar
irving under refrigeration shows an
enormous loss Of food. If the average
of 11.S per cent decay shown on
shipments at Chicago. Cincinnati and
Pittsburgh last year held at other mar
kets, it would mean an annual loss of
about 1920 carloads destroyed in
transit, or about 1,1S0000,000 pounds
of fruit and vegetables. This loss is
only in shipments moving under refrig-
GRAFTON. There is heavy loss also in
shipments under ventilation.
Better Cars, Less Loss.
Experiments on shipping perishables
In refrigerator cars have located causes
of loss and shown that change in car
construction will reduce the losses. In
each end of refrigerator car are COM
partments running from the roof to
the floor and known as "bunkers,"
which are filled with ice before the
car is loaded. There is a passage I'M
der and around this ice bunker and its
insulated wall out to the floor of the
car. Air. cooled by the ice, is heavier
than warm air, and travels downward
and out along the floor of the car, dis
placing the warm air above it and thus
cooling the load. Raising the load on
open floor racks helps distribute the
cold air from the ice bunkers and in
creases air circulation, which Is nee
essary to protect the produce from
damage. The question of insulation
for the fioor ends and sides of the car
is also important and air spaces must
be provided between the rows of con-
tainers so that all the load will be kept
cool. All these problems and stand
ard type of refrigerator car has been
designed by the department of agri-
culture. Some of these improved cars
have been built by the railroad admin
istration and are giving satisfactory
results.
How Others Can Help.
Improvement of refrigerator cars
cannot be depended upon to eliminate
all of the present enormous loss in
handling fruits and vegetables, ac-
cording to the bureau of markets.
Farmers can help by more careful
picking, grading and packing, and ship
pers and dealers by more attention to
loading and handling fruits and vege-
tables.
