The new arrangement will also Sc
cure professional attention to all de-
tails of the protective service for all
shippers. The Fruit Growers Ex-
press was organized two years ago
and has developed a working force
specially trained in the handling and
care of perishable freight. Last year
it made a particularly successful re-
cord in handling Southern products,
and it was largely this fact which
influenced the decision of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Management.
The Pennsylvania railroad was the
pioneer in the use and development
of refrigerator cars, having establish
ed the first lines through the South
more than thirty years ago, in order
to bring fresh fruits and vegetables
to the Northern markets during the
colder seasons.

their work will doubtless be large

The kindergarten has been an
established institution in tins
country for many years, and there
are but few cities that do not now
add its work to their other grades.
We have none in Alexandria, and
it is little snort OF a disgrace to
the city. If some public-sPlrlted
citizen wished to erect monu-
ment to his enduring fame, we
know OF no better opportunity,
than the establishment OF kinder
garten. Nor do we know OF any
one work that would be OF great
er benefit to this community, lar
into the future years.
The public is generally invited
to the wonderful display OF little
children's work this week, and we
suggest that AleNandrians take
the occasion to learn something
OF the value i'll elementary train
ing. The exhibit is held in the

States and New England,
The Fruit Growers Express is a
cooperative organization owned and
managed by the leading railroads OF
the South and East. 1t has no indi-
vidual stockholders and no distribu-
ton of earnings outside the owning
railroads. 1t exists solely for the
purpose of supplying refrigerator
cars and protective service on fruits,
vegetables and other products of a
perishable nature.
Traffic on this character is sea-
sonal, beginning during the winter
in Florida and working North until
the late fruit crops of Northern New
York and Michigan, and the potato
crop of New England, are reached.
1t is therefore evident that the adj
dition of the large number of cars
owned by the Pennsylvania System,
to those already controlled by the
Fruit Growers Express, will assure
a better distribution and more fleX-
ible, efficient and economical use of
the equipment throughout the sea
son 1t was for this reason conclud-
ed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Management that the shippers
needs are better met by such an or
ganization rs the Fruit Growers
Express than by each railroad trying

soma ailment which the country doc

fully. The farmer thought that

therefore obtained the name of the
manufacturer of the equipment and
instructions as to It's use.
Nothing more was heard of the
matter until several months later,
when the farmer drove up with sew
eral big baskets Of green corn and
other fresh vegetables for the pa
tents, explaining that this offering
was a token of his appreciation OF
the information that the hospital Of
ficers had given him.
The vegetables were much appre-
ciated; but the knowledge that the
hospital had made so good a friend
was still more appreciated.

Movie Music

We sometimes go to the Movies
chiefly to hear the music. One of our
Motion Picture Theatres has q me-
chanical piano, and it seems to be the
perfection OF mechanical piano play
ing. 1t is the nearest to the human
touch of anything we have thus lar
heard. The crescendo and diminuen-
do, the phrasng, the tempo, the deli
cacy Of nuance, and the Interpretation
of the music itSelf-all seem to he
produced by u human mind controlling
human fingers. In fact, so it is. For
the rolls of music have been edited
and prepared with scrupulous fidelity
by a master, and reflect his individ-
uality and temperament and musical
feeling nigh to perfection.
The other night, for instance, we
heard program that alone could have
reasonably demanded a price OF a
dollar, and that ungrudgingly paid by
any lover of good music. 1t was rest
full, soothing, and the numbers gave
us sheer delight. We closed our eyes
and could imagine that some real mu-
stefan was at the piano. There hap
pened to be a thrilling picture of the
Wild West on the screen, which we
enjoyed, too. But the music! That
transported US into realm where
earthly cares were forgotten; forgot
ten too, the toll and moil and unpleas-
antries of the day Where the mind
wandered at will among celestial
fields of harmony and melody. We
are going to give the program-or'
rather, a portion Of it. 1t might be
called rather classical, but it was
music such as you seldom hear; and
was an enlightenment to the Ignorant
and a deep pleasure to the cognos-
cent?, There were excerpts from
Chopin-that inmitable Master OF
meditation, who wrote music that IS
not of this earth. For instance, the
Fantasia Impromptu, the Nalse IN Z
sharp minor, nocturne and a bal
lade. Played, too, with the skill and
feeling Of 4 virtuoso. The Witches
Dance, by our own Mcdowell; two OF
Chaminade's little gems; two selec-
tions from Nevin, characteristic and
bewitching; one from Grieg and one
FROM GODDARD.
These are what we heard, and tins
is the music that is worth going to
hear. regardless of whether the Mo-
vic is thrilling or soporifc. This same
talented piano-player, too, has other
programs, just as charming. That Is
why we go some times to Movie
h.cHy to hear the music.
