To Beat II. c. L. With An Icetess
IceboX

AS the weather grows warmer and
ice slips into The ranks of commodl-
ties that march under the banner OF
H.C. L., the question of how to keep
the refrigerator full this summer be-
gins to worry the already sadly per-
picked head of the family. In view
Of the scarcity of ice, the New York
State College Of Agriculture at ltha-
ca has been making some expert
ment in methods and devices for
beating the iceman. AS a result the
SyrAcuse Kitchen, as a part OF It's
extension work in home economies,
has demonstrated an iceless icebox
that may be set up by any house
holder at q cost of $11, six of which
are for the services of carpenter.
II you are hardy with tools you can
clip off the cost of the carpenter, and
by using an old piece OF Canton
flannel or cotton blanket you can)re-
duce the cost of your homemade re-
frigerator to 1915. At least that is
the way the State College figures 1t
out; and this is the way it is done,
according to information sent out by
{ Director A. r. Mann.
tThe iceless refrigerator depends
on the principle that evaporating
water has cooling effect. 1t is sim
ply IAN open framework of shelves
surrounded by wet cloth. 1t should
be kept in a shady place where air
is In motion. The shelves, the bottom,
and. 1.-the four supporting posts should
form an open framework covered
with wire screen. The top is solid
wood, and supports an enameled pan.
The front is hinged as door.
aAll four screened sides are COW
cred with Canton flannel, smooth
side out, buttoned on. The buttons
are sewed on tape which is tackled
to the frame 20 as to engage the
.button-holes nh the cloth. This plan
81 buttcning permits the use OF a
duplicate cover and allows for a
weakly washins. Fastened around the
tojkar four flaps of cloth which ex-
tend up over the top into the upper
pam of water. They serve as wicks or
6phons to keep the Canton flannel
cover moist.
!. "If practicable, the whole affair
should be white, as that retracts heat
Ind light. The screening should be OF
q non-rusting wire, such as copper or
zinc"
For convenience, the College ad-
vises size Of four feet, eight inches
IN height and two feet, square, with
the shelves eleven inches apart.
Further directions state:
"These dimensions require three
yards of twenty-four-inch wire
screen, one pint of white paint for
first coat, and one pint of white ena-
mel; fifty linear feet of three quart
er by three inch stuff for framework,
sixteen feet Of one-inch lumber one
foot wide for shelves (unless shelves
are made of wire), and forty-siX lin
ear feet of molding; hinges, catch,
buttons tape, nails, tacks, and thir-
teen yards Of thirty-inch Canton
flannel, which will make two covers"
This iceless icebox will not give
temperatures approaching the freez-
point, the home-workers of the
College warn, but those constructed
on the above plan are known to have
a temperature of ffty-four degrees
on the hottest days of the summer
last year-and those who recall those
days will admit that that is re-
markable feat.
