Signor Vaugean believes he has
overcome this by building ship

FREEZING POINT DETERMINED
FOR VEGETABLES AND FRUITS

The freezing points Of large va
rlety Of vegetables and fruits. which
arc likely 10 be subjected to freez
Ing conditions during harvesting
handling. or marketing. have been
the object Of special studies In the
I;ureGu OF Plant Industry Of the
United States Department OF Agri
culture. Between $4,000 and 10000
determinations have been made. in.
cluiing the freezing points OF 2j
varieties OF apples, 22 kinds OF
irawberrles. Is varieties of pota.
toes. 10 different types OF sweet po.
tatCes. 10 tomato varieties. and
many varieties of cherries, grapes.
peaches, plums. blackberres. rasp-
berries. cranberries. and some cut
flowers. particularly psonies. roses.
ana lilies. Besides this general
study. the work Is being continued
with the principal fruits and vege-
tables which are liable to be in
oanger Of freezing either In transit
or on the market. In this work the
methods Of detecting freezing injury.
the rate at which fruits or yegeta-
biea freeze in constant low temper
aturcs are determined.
The freezing polI were deter
mired for IS standai4 varieties of
Irish potatoes, grown under the
same cultural conditions. harvested
at the same time. and stored at the
same temperatures. The freezing
point apparently varies with the va
rlety and shows a tendency to vary
with the family group. 1t has been
shown that potatoes can frequently
be exposed to temperatures much
below their freezing points If they
are not disturbed until the tempera-
ture is again above the freezing
point. This is an important consid-
Grafton to potato growers and
handlers.

scRAees is ONE LUCKY SEA DOG

synopsis.-Captain Phineas P. Scraggs
has grown up around the docks of San
Francisco, and from mess boy on a river
steamer, risen to the ownership OF the
steamer Maggie. Since each annual in
spection promised to be the last of the old
weatherbeaten vessel. Scraggs naturally
has some difficulty in securing a crew.
When the story opens. Adelbert P. Gibney,
nkabie. but erratic, man whom nobody
but Scraggs would hire. is the skipper,
Eeils Halvorsen, a solemn Swede, consti-
tdtes the forcastle hands, and Bart Nc
Guffey, a wastrel of the Ghbney type,
relgns in the engine room. With this
motley crew and his ancient vessel. Cap
tain Scraggs 10 engaged In freighbng gar
den truck from Halfmoon bay to San
Francisco. The inevitable happens, the
Maggie going ashore In a fog. A
passing vessel hailing the wreck, Mr..
Gibnoy gets word to a towing company
in San Francisco that the ship ashore is
the Yankee Prince, with promise of a
rich salvage. Two tugs succeed in pulling
the Maggie into deep water. and she slips
her tow lines and gets away In the fog
Furious at the deception practised on
them, Captains Hicks and Flaherty, COM
handing the two tugboats. ascertain the
identity of the Yankee Prince" and. fear
ing ridicule should the facts become
known along the water front, determine
on personal vengeance. Their hostile
visit to the Maggie results in Captain
ecraggs promising to get a new boiler

AT this juncture, Mr.. Gibney and

they were pirates with very sore feet,
came running over the deckload and
invaded the pilot house. Gimme that

Mr.. Gibney had abdicated as a pi-
rate and assumed command of the s.

Captain Scraggs was still harsh and
bitter.

screechod. Don't you give no orders
to my deckha1d."
"Stow it, you ass. Yonder's a prize,

Captain Scraggs aside and whispered

Mr.. Gibney saw by the hopeful, even
cunning, look that ieaped to Scraggs'
eTes that the problem was about to be
solved without recourse to the Gibney
Imagination. so he resolved to be alert
and not permit himself to be caught

Three days Of diligent search failed
to uncover the coveted jJb for either,
however, and on the morning of the
fourth day Mr.. Gibney announced that
1t would be necessary to raise the
wind" If the pair would breakfast.
They retired to the sidewalk to hold a
caucus and Mr.. McGuffey located a
dime which had dropped down inside
the lining of his coat. '"That settles
it." Gibney declared. "We've skipped
two meals but I'll be burned If we
skip another Wen ride out to the

They took a hitch In their belts and
started. From the point at which they
left the trolley to their journeys end
was stiff six-hour jaunt, up hill and
down dGle, and long before the march
was calf completed the unaccustomed
exercise had developed sundry gals
and blisters on the Gibney heels, while
the soles of poor McGuffey's feet were
so hot he voiced the apprehension that
they might burn to crisp at any mo-
ment and drop off by the wayside.
The crew of the Maggie had ceased
working cargo for the day and Cap
tain Scraggs was busy cooking supper
in the galley when the two prvodigals,
exhausted crippled and repent6nt,
came to the door and coughed propi-
tiously, but Captain Scraggs pretended
not to hear. and went on with his task
Of turning fried eggs with an artistic
flip of the frying pan. So Mr.. lib
ney spoke, struggling bravely to APP

said:

Mr.. Gibney's honest face beamed ex~
pectantly, for he was particularly par
tiaI to fried eggs. AS for his COM
panion in distress, anything edible and
which would serve to nullify the gnaw-
ing at HIS internal economy would be
welcome. Inasmuch as Captain
Scraggs did not readily reply to Mr..
Gibney's salutation, McGuffey decided
to be more emphatic and to the point,
albeit In Joking way.
Hurry up with them eggs, Scraggs."
