the bacteria in the old milk will, of
course, be added also, and the mixed
milk will not keep as we'll as the fresh
milk alone.
Bacteria are thickest where there is
dirt and decay, and milk should there
fore be stored only in clean, sweet
places. 1t is safer to keep it covered,
to exclude not only dirt and bacteria
but also the favors and odors which
it so easil Y absorbs. If kept at tenn
perature of 80 f. or less, good milk
should remain sweet for IL hours at
least, after it reaches the consumer
and ordinarily for "a hours or more
dairy specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture say. Some
times in very hot weather houseleep-
ers complain that in spite of all pre-.
cautions it sours quickly, even in the
ice box. This is often due to the fact
that the air of the ice box, although it
seems cold in contrast with the heat
outside, is really not cold enough to
check the growth of the bacteria; if
a thermometer placed inside registers
more than SO f. the fault is almost
surely in the temperature Of the ice
box, and not in the milk. In large
cities, where most of the milk comes
by morning trains from considerable
distance, it is often impossible to de-
liver fresh mornings milk in time for
breakfast, and that MIXED the morn
ing before must be given to patrons
who insist in an early delivery They
would get their milk from IL to Is
hours fresher if they would take it in
the afternoon instead.

the potatoes were Of high quality, diff
ficulty was experienced in disposing of
them. When they were finally sold
the price was considerably lower per
pound than that commanded by pota-
toes packed in the customary manner
At present there are about so types
of hampers and over 20 sizes of round
stave baskets in use. Many of these
sizes are simply the outgrowth of Gus
tom in various shipping localities;
others are used for the express pur-
pose of deception. And aside from the
confusion and uncertainty that result
from the use Of dozens of different
kinds of containers, millions of dol
lars are annually lost through de-
struction of produce in transit on ac-
count of the weak construction of the
containers used.
Would Reduce Number of Containers.
Many large growers, shippers, and
basket manufacturers appreciate the
desirability of reducing the number
of these containers, and a Nation
wide movement is on foot OF eliminate
many of them. Cooperative selling
organizations are already doing much
to promote uniformity and standard
ization. 1t means money to them not
only because of the familiarity of the
trade with the containers used in per-
mitting methods of loading into cars
that reduce the likelihood of breakage
to minimum.

NARROWLY ESCAPE DEATH

San Francisco, CAL, June 27.-Gov-
ernor Bicket of North Carolina, had
narrow escape from death here last
night, as did Assistant Secretary of
the Navy, Franklin Roosevelt, when
crowded elevator in their hotel
dropped twenty 1eet to the basement.
The cable snapped because the car was
loaded beyond it's proper capacity.
After the shakeup Messrs. Bicket and
Roosevelt proceeded uninjured to

LOWERING OF FOOD PRICES
DEPENDS UPON DISTRIBUTION
Uniform Methods of Marketing Farm
Products Necessary For Il More
Economical System - Standard
Grades and Containers Recon-
mended.

1t is generally agreed that if food
costs are to be lowered more econ
omical system of distribution of farm
products must be perfected and placed
III practical use.
Standardization, say experts Of the
Bureau of Markets, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. is the essen
tial basis for such system. This
means not only standard grades for
fruits and vegetables, but standards
for the containers in which they are
packed.
The Bureau Of Markets is charged
with the enforcement of the United
States standard container act which
provides only for standard capacities
for grape and berry baskets used in
interstate commerce. The application
of this law has resulted in the wide
spread use of these containers in in
trastate commerce also, for shippers
nave come to appreciate the benefits
derived from the use of uniform
methods of marketing such fruits.
Standardization Of larger shipping
containers, such as hampers and round
stave baskets, is equally desirable, say
the bureaus experts. OF course, the
best method is to sell produce by the
pound, but where it is impracticable
to sell by weight, uniform containers
should be used. Bushel baskets of
peaches from Georgia and Colorado
should contain the same quantity of
peaches. The same is true of any 9TH
er food commodity shipped in hamp-
ors or baskets.

An illustration of how the present
methods result in dissatisfaction is
the case of Florida producer who
recently shipped potatoes to the New
York market in container with which
the trade was not familiar. Although

ATTACKS
DRY AMENDMENT
Believes Words Used by Certain
States in Ratifying Were
Technically Incorrect
FAV0RS IS p. C. BOOZE BILL
BY the Associated Press

Jersey City, Jan. 1.-Governor elect
Edwards announced last night that, IL
certain information reaching him was
found correct, he would as a citizen,
either call upon Secretary Lansing to
revoke his proclamation of the ratiica-
tion of the eighteenth amendment or in
troduce mandamus proceedings to com
pei him to do so. T.
The information referred to is to the
effect that certain states in ratifying the
amendment used language different to
that incorporated in the original con
,gressional bill. The alleged difference
consisted in using the words 'alcoholic
liquors" instead of Intoxicating liq-
uors' as used by Congress.
The governors elect statement was
issued after a conference here between
Mr.. Edwards and Democratic leaders,
1t was stated that Mr.. Edwards's secre
tary would go to Washington this morn

documents.

EXPECT TO,REvEAL
MYSTERY PLANET
Prof. Pickering, of Harvard, May
Discover 1t at Any Time,
Says Astronomer
DEPEND ON PHOTOGRAPHY
(c) Harris & Ewing.

New York, Jan. If there really is
another great planet in the heavens, far
beyond the limits of the solar system
as it is now known, its discovery may
occur at any moment, according to Har-
old Jacoby, Rutherford professor Of
astronomy at Columbia University
Conditions now are peculiarly favorable
for the discovery.
Professor William II. Pickering, of
the Harvard Astronomical Observatory,
is stationed at Vaudeville, Jamaica,
making a thorough search for the planet,
which is believed to be about the size
of the earth and seventy times as far
from the sun.
Calculations indicate that conditions
which existed Tuesday night offered an
excellent opportunity for making the
discovery. Professor Pickering is striv-
ing to locate the new heavenly body and
thereby establish the truth of his pre-
dictions that an unknown planet has
been responsible for the Irregularities
which have been observed in the mo
tions of Neptune.
Plans Made for Search

the planet unless their assistance is re :

Speaking of conditions at Jamaica,
Professor Jacoby last night said IF

Harvard astronomer it should be more
