COLD STORAGE INDUSTRY IS
 GOING AHEAD
Business on Whole Has Ex-
 perienced Good Year.
Discriminatory Practices Have Dis- appeared LargeIy-Rapid Strides Made in Scientific Refrigeration Need for Additional Facilities.
By FRANK A. HORNE, President of Merchants Ref1gerating
 COmDauv


 Company.
 It is a far cry from the old-time hysteria and prejudice regarding the ing back from overseas and the gen. eral approval of the fighting forces concerning the chow given to them indicates the quality of the ration and the wisdom of the dietary furnished our boys in the service. When it is remembered that the ration supplied represented about one pound per man cold storage of foods to the present appreciation and large use of such fla cilities by the Government in the pro- secution of the war.
 The appearance of our soldiers af- ter training in the cantonments, the physical vigor of our uninjured com per day of perishab1e foods, largely fresh meat, all requiring refrigera- tion, it will be seen how large a place cold storage has occupied in the &C., emulation, storage of reserve stocks and shipment of these perishable foodstuffs abroad to feed our army and navy and the forces and popu1a- tion of the Allied nations.
 The long distance of the area of the war from the source of food supply and the shipping difficulties involved in the unusual submarine hazards and
 
 question of surplus storage and whole some preservation a vital question in feeding those dependent upon our supplies and thus maintaining the morale of all concerned.
 The dissatisfaction and scandals connected with the use of so-cal1ed emba1med beef furnished during the Spanish American War compared with the results obtained in the present great conflict, indicate the superior ity of refrigeration and the freezing process over the use of chemicals and similar methods for the preservation of perishable food products.
 The great volume of cold storage products passing through our great re- frigerating warehouses during the war period will be a, revelation to those not familiar with the quantity of these seasonal perishable foods required for the sustenance of the world.
 The practice of carrying in cold storage the surplus production of these products for equal and assured distribution, where and when requir- ed, has not been generally understood but in the exigencies of war this function has become an inexofable necessity.
 Governments Activity. The tremendous use of cold storage by the Government and by our allies during the last months of the war and the first six months since the ar mistice was signed is indicated by the immense quantity Of frozen beef ex- ported for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1919, which amounted to 373,OOO- 900 pounds, all of which passed through the public and private freez- CTS of the country.

PHILADELPHIA, June I1.-Sen-
ator Boies Penrose awoke early to-
day with a contented smile upon
his oountenance. With his physi-
cal condition so improved that he
can leave his arm chair at times,
the Senator today is keeping the
wires hot, talking with leaders at
the Republican convention, and is
being credited with having a hand
in shaping the compromise on the
League of Nations in the Repub-
lican platform that obviated dan
