How to Save Ice

Suggestions for cutting down the ice bill are
given by E. j. O'Malley, deputy commissioner Of
public markets for New York City, in the New
York Sun, as follows:
Avoid opening icebox much possible
cold air escapes quickly and melts ice through
the thrush of warm air.
Wrapping ice on top and sides in newspaper
will prevent matage. Cold air goes down through
cebox; it is therefore unnecessary to have ice
posed to air when box is open on top.
Cool iced tea and iced drinks of all kinds by
putting bottles in icebox and not against ice, as
this melts ice quickly.
Don't put chopped ice in drinks; this keeps
icebox open and melts ice very quickly.
Buy large piece of ice, because meltage is
about one-third greater in small piece of ice on
account of surrounding air space. For instance,
twenty fivecent piece of ice will last three days
to fifteen-cent piece one day.
Do not accept ice with holein center. This
will melt three times as quickly.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-07-12

is the only one necessary to mention. That is the
cost OF the ice.
Ice is already so high that few of US can con-
template putting it in the attic and even if we
did install the ice-box per directions we would
have to sweat so paying for the ice that all the
good Of the low temperature would be lost
It would be much simpler if some scientifical.
ly inclined person would invent some pills such
as Alice-in- Wonderland took, which would make
people small enough so they could creep into the
family ice-box along with the milk and butter, or
better still if some way could be found to lower
the price Of ice, that anyone who feels the heat
could afford ain extra cake to sit on while he
earned his daily bread.

Aid From Every Side

Educational institutions have altered their
courses to suit the desires Of disabled soldiers ap
plying for entrance Non,collegiate courses are
being offered, in order to meet the requirements
of students without sufficient preparation for
work of regular college grade. Entire new SUBJ
iects have been introduced into the curriculum.
One state college is providing training for camp
cooks which in that particular locality offers good
openings, as the demand is large and the pay
good
State legislatures have made appropriations
sufficiently large to cover all expenses of tuition
and other fees of disabled service men.
Employers advertise for the services of dis
charged disabled men, not with the idea of ex-
ploitaton, but because of their enlarged vision
and broader experiences gained through their
service, makes them satisfactory employers
Workers in the various industrial and COM
mercial establishments in which disabled men
have been placed have almost universally well
coined the opportunity of assisting them by kind
ness and consideration in their efforts to refrain
and reestabsh themselves in the work they have
undertaken, as sef-reliant, Independent, selfres-
pecting American citizens.
The federal board for vocational education,
whose central office is located at 200 New Jersey

The | -.5iness Course at Earlham College

Sensing a change in the educational horizon,
Earham college plans to offer cources in bust
ness and business administration next semester
Accompanying the announcement of the course is
4 statement of President Edwards in which he
points out that colleges must conform to changes
in educational demands.
The idea Of education has undergone radi-
cal change in the last generation. Formerly edu-
cation consisted solely in acquiring part of the
accumulated knowledge of the world and part of
the knowledge that was being made available
day by day by discoveries and research Educa-
ton was academic to certain degree.
Today education has broadened its scope to
include many subjects which formerly could be
acquired only by experience. Education in the
fundamental principles of business, its methods
and problems trains the mind and prepares for
life. The war taught the value of business and
showed the great necessity of having men ade-
quately trained in schools to handle gigantic COM
mercial and industrial problems.
Earham is taking step in the right direc-
ton in widening its curriculum by the introduce
ton of these courses The community hopes that
many of its young men will take advantage of
the opportunity that has been given them.
