FIGHT EARLY CLOSING
OF FREIGHT STATIONS
Shippers Oppose Railroad Ad'
ministration Proposal to
Reduce Business Hours

The proposal OF the terminal division
the time freight stations are open in
the Philadelphia district was discussed
at an open meeting in the chamber Of
Commerce today.
Representatives Of receivers and for
warders of freight attended the meeting.

road administration. the individual rail-
roads and the teamowners. Coleman

T., ]. cleaVe, terminal manager, Phil

/ tion. outlined the plan. which is 10 open
| freight stations at 1880 in the morning
instead of at :. and to close them at
| o'clock in the afternoon, instead OF 6.
| Mr. Cleave cited statistics TO SHOW
that the number Of teams using tn
stations at the times when it is pro
posed to close them was less than pc
cent Of the average total number dur
ing the day.
Objection was made to these sta tis
tics by z. j. Devne, president OF til
Team Owners Protective Association
who said that statistics taken since th
first OF the year Were not indicativ
of normal conditions, since here ha
been a dull period when incoming an
outgoing freight was not up 10 the aver
age amounts.

OF Club Food Committee Declares Market Here

tee. The wage learner spends nearly
one-half OF his earnings on food. Thirty
carloads OF potatoes are needed every
day TO supply the local demand In
one week Philadelphia consumes 5000
head of cattle, 10000 sheep, 5000 hogs,
three-uuarters Of u million dozens OF
eggs and 100000 pounds of butter.
Three hundred thousand cows are need
ed to furnish the daily supply of milk.
Because the eastern cities have eX-
tended greatly their boundaries and be-
cause the land nearby in worn out by
long cultivation most of the foodstuffs
for Philadelphia ana the eastern cities
come from western and southern States,
II wish there was an enormous or
ganization of Philade lphia housewives
10 back this market proposition Mrs
Hitchcock said. 1T is a question OF vital
interest today and one that the public
in general should be interested in.
Even though we may not obtain the
railroad, distribution and other facilities
we want this summer. there are many
other ways in which the housewife may
better immediate conditions. 1t Is true
that the average woman complains OF
food prices when she knows little or
food values. She should be a more COM
petent judge of good meat good bread
and good vegetables Then she will know
when she is getting her moneys worth
and when she is being overcharged'
Then this substitution method is
good one to keep her household expenses
on a systematic basis. The theory OF II
is that when certain things are hlgh,
don't buy them; buy substitutes. 1pat
means women should know substitutes
There are always inexpensive things on
the market IL the market hunts Tor them
and keeps in touch with conditions
When eggs are out Of reach she can use
fish or creamed beef on her table. wren
one vegetable Is high, another equally
good is usually low SO many women
take It for granted they are getting the
hest when they pay the highest prices.
Tie big thing after all, il not the price
but the quality of the article

when spinach goes up TO thirty
cents a quarter peck, don't buy It.
Instead, purchase new beets which
you will find at the same market for
twelve cents bunch. And YOU can use
the green leaves and stems Of the beets
in dish as delectable as spinach"
That is the suggestion of Mrs. y. u.
Hitchcock. chairman of the food and
home economics committee OF the Civic
club, of one way that housewives may
better regulate their market problems.
The substitution method is being used
by many local housewives TO their ad-
vantage, she declared.
