RULES FOR
TOMATO PACK
Specifications Provide Fol
Grading And Marking
Containers
BEST PRACTICE

The Bureau of Markets, Depart
ment Of Agriculture, hos announced 4
the following proposed specifications
regarding the packing and grading
of fresh tomatoes, quality definition,
and the marketing of containers.
These recommendation for grades
are based on observations ard in
vestigations made in the most of the
important producing sections and
large market and represent the best
commercial practice. The specifica-
tions may be applied to all fresh
tomatoes, whether they are packed |
or not.
In general way the No. l grade
is intended to include the tomatoes
which are found in the better mark
cts of the present commercial fancy
and choice grades. The minimum
size for the first grade tomato is
placed at two inches because this is
the smallest size ordinarily used for
slicing and salad purposes. This in
size would correspond to the small
est tomato used in the IS pack and
in the six-basket carrier or in the
SO pack in the r-basket fiat.
The No. 2 grade is intended to in
clude the smaller tomato and all OF
hers suitable for shipment, such as
puffy and Scared tomatoes, crooks,
and catfaces. The minimum size of
one and three-quarter inches CORE
spends to the smaller tomato in the
ZIG and "gems" packs of the six
basket carrier.
The No. 3 grade is intended to in
clude tomatoes which are suitable
for shipment to distant markets, but
acceptable for local use or nearby
markets. These usually are tomatoes
injured by growth cracks, mechan-
ical punctures. ETC.. which are likely
to cause leaking of the juices IN
transit, This grade will also in
cIude tomatoes affected with more
/ JJhan s4seC naffheSu1sDots 0fi - -; =
linen.
U. S. Grade No ! shall consist of
sound tomatoes which are of similar
varitaI characteristic mature, but
not overripe and soft. well-shaped,
plump and reasonably smooth which
are free from blossom end, rubbing
or other scars which indent or mis-
shapes the fruit, from stem end or
growth cracks more than one-half
inch in length and from sunscald
and catfaces; and are practically
free from damage caused by disease,
insects, hail, mechanical or other
means. Each tomato shall be two
inches or more in its greatest diane
ter and if, wrapped shall be wrap
ped separately.
In order to allow for variation in
cident to commercial grading and
handling, 10 per centum by count
4 of any lot may have as many as five
Hnailhead spots or similar superficial
injury on any tomato; and eight per
centum by count of any lot may be
otherwise below the requirements
of this grade but not more than
three-eights of this eight. per cent
UNI may be materially injured by
decay.

IMPR ROVEMENTS AT CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL SHOW WISE SPENDING
What Has Been Done With Your Money
Shown by New Heating Plants

| Remember the drive made year ago
by the Children's Hospital for s100, 900
to be expended for absolutely essential
repairs and changes up at the big plant
at 18th and W streets, which ministers
solely to little boys and girls? Well, the
hospital didn't get it, although it was
the first general appeal to. the public
ever made by the institution.

quarters Of the sum needed, and appar-
emily, through wise planning and ex-
penditure, it's officials have made that
three-quarters go wonderfully far.
| Invitations are now out from the
visitors for Wednesday,, December 8,
from to 6 pm. for a special inspec-
| ton of the hospital. as remodeled with
the funds Of the 1919 drive.

accomplished. Here are some OF the
! more important items, beginning with
| the basement:
New Smokeless Boilers.
Two new smokeless boilers of the
latest design have been installed. These
will heat the whole building and are
expected to save 200 tons of coal year.
An older boiler, serving the laundry, has
! been thoroughly overhauled. New coal
/ bins have been built which will hold
| two and one-half times as much as the
old. Every radiator has been given new
and improved air valves.
| Skipping from heat to cold. new
electric refrigerating apparatus keeps
all storage compartments adequately
supplied with clean. dry, cold air, and
| also makes $40 pounds OF ice a day.
Ice expenditures, it is estimated, have
been about cut in half.

converted into private wards. Much
new plumbing and sterilized equip
ment were required for these addi-
tions. General improvements were
also made in the colored wards.
Fireproof Staircase.
There is a new elevator and fire.
proof staircase adjacent to the operat-
ing room. A real incubator, equipped
with the last word in thermostats, for
very early arrivals into this world,
has been bought. One porch has been
turned into a waiting room and an
other into new kindergarten room.
The baby ward, always a favorite
renovated from floor to ceiling. The
old wooden balustrade of the espla-
made has been replaced by a pipe and
wire screening, behind which young
sters can safely play. The old isola-
ton ward has been extensively re-
put. on the main floor and the super
intendents Office moved.
Paint Used Literally.
When it comes to paint, the board
of directors frankly confess they had
no idea how many thousand gallons
would be needed. but they know now.
No spot escaped the painters brush.
Also the danger of falling plaster no
longer menaces patients and staff
alike. All woodwork is now in first
class condition and all the remaining
old plumbing has been thoroughly
overhauled. Cement has taken the
place of much old wainscoting. Roofs,
cutters and spouts have been brought
up to the highest possible state Of
repair, and much new furniture
bought for various divisions, includ-
ing the quarters of the hard-working
internes.
New and up-to -the-minute X-ray
equipment and other operating and
laboratory apparatus has been bought
and installed, and the hospital is now
officially rated "class A."
