How Peaches Were Loaded.

When a shipper places call for given number of cars, they are inn mediately iced. In each end of a car is abunker which is filled with ice, the doors are kept closed and the cars rushed to the loading stations. Loading is done very quickly, about 400 bushels of peaches being placed in each car. Every evening, fruit trains, on faster-than- passenger sche- dule, rushed these cars to Northern markets. At different places in tram sit, such as Hoxie, St. Louis, etc, the bunkers would be opened and the cars "re-iced" so that at all times the temperature would be kept low. It requires from 15 to 20 tons of ice per car from southern Arkansas to Chicago.
 Despite the various strikes, 'conges- tion of traffic and ice shortages, the American Refrigerator Transit Com pany was able to move every car of perishable produce from it's Arkansas and Texas territory Every car re- quested was promptly placed for load ing and delivered at it's destination with Ishe utmost dispacth
 The shippers in this territory were unusally fortunate this year, for in nearly every state the United States the fruit and truck growers are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars because of the strikes and car and ice shortage.
 l T. H. German, general freight agent of the American Refrigerator Transit Company, said "On account of the tremendous price we have had to pay for ice and labor this year every car we have moved has been operated at great loss to us. Sev- eral years ago we could buy ice at $22.50 per ton, this year we had to pay as high as $15 per ton for some of the ice we used. We will lose fully $25 on every car we handled but we took care of our patrons and they made money"

ENGLISH GIRLS FIGHT
SHY OF DOMESTIC WORK

London, March 19.-(Correspond-
ence The Associated Press -There
are three reasons why English girls
fight shy Of domestic service; Loss
of social status, long hours Of duty
and lack OF companionship.
These are the findings of one OF
the numerous committees which, on
behalf of the government, are trying
to find solution of the servant pro
blem in this country.
THE fact cannot be denied" says
the report, that domestic workers
are regarded by other workers as be-
longing to lower social status. The
distinctive dress they are required to
wear marks them out as a class
apart, the cap being generally resent
ed.
ut is sometime stated that the diff
ferentiation in the quality Of the food
for the dining room and that for the
servants hall or kitchen is another
class distinction which leads to a
spirit of bitterness. The customs of
addressing domestic workers by their
Christian name or surname is one of
the canses Of the superior attitude
adopted by other workers recruited
from the same or ever from a lower
social status.
Further, the attitude adopted by
the press and the stage is usually an
unfortunate one, as servants are fire.
quently represented as comic or flip
pant characters and are held up to
ridicule."
An advisory committee of the Min
istry of Labor has laid down the first
official minimum wage scale for do
mestic servants. 1t ranges from $40
year for a hOusemaid of Is years or
more up to 1920 for cook or
houseekeper, in addition to board and
washing. Hours of leisure are fixed
at two hours daily. a half holiday
every week, part time on Sundays,
and two weeks on Sundays, and two
weeks holiday each year with wages.

KEEP PRINCES BURROW
Underground Refuge of Rupprecht of
Bavaria is to Be Maintained.

Prince Rupprecht's waldhaus in the
Argonne is to be kept as a national
curiosity. 1t is said to be probably
he most elaborate dugout that was
ever built. Dug into the hillside, con-
creted and camouflaged so deliberately
that from a few yards off one does
not perceive it, it consists of four
or five good sized rooms of which
those nearest the hillside have iron
shutters. The rooms are paneled and
painted, and there is also a swim
ming bath of about 80 feet in length
and 60 feet in width. 1t is outfitted
with electric light and hot and cold
water. A passage leading from the
front of the dugout takes one down
sixty feet and into perfect safety
This passage is no longer passable,
as water has filled it up. During the
war pumps were kept going con-
stantly to keep it dry. Just outside
and for less stormy periods, is Ger
man blergarten, with tables and
chairs and flower beds.
