Variety In the Diet.

Today dieticians tell us that variety
is as important in our diet as is food
quality, and. fortunately, this can
easily be supplied In spite of the high
er food prices today. Variety in food
is not a luxury, as 1t once was, thanks
to our national food purveyors. Think
of the great opportunities that scien-
tific canning offers to the home man
ager-of the ready-to-serve meat prod
ucts, Of sea foods distributed to every
part OF the country, and tropical fruits
and vegetables brought to US when the
snow flies.

Bio Ships' Radio,

The radio equipment Of the ships
Paris and Lafayette is described in
recent issue of Radioelectricity. On both
steamers a five-kilowatt tube trans
mitter has been installed with a wave
range of between 1000 and 1900 me-
tiers. A five-kilowatt motor-generator
set is used to produce the plate-high
tension for four rectifying and four
osclllatory tubes, and the low voltage
current for the heating of the filament
of these tubes. Both vessels are
equipped with a radio range-fnder, or
radio goniometer," which, reduced to
plain English, means, a radio compass.
A distance of 300 kilometers has
been covered safely by messages sent
from the transmitter of the Paris.

WATER FLOODS STREETS, CELLARS OF CITY;

Children swan in the streets OF
Richmond Monday night, when storm
sewers proved inadequate to carry the
extraordinary rainfall of Monday af-
ternoon and evening Water was said
to have been waist deep on South
Twenty-thirG street, and was two feet
deep in portions of South c street
Three and two-hundredths inches of
rainfall were recorded at the city
pumping plant at midnight.
Numerous washouts, clogged sewers
and full cellars were reported to the
city engineers office Tuesday morn
ing as a result of the downpour of
rain. The office reported however,
that the washouts we're fewer than
were to be expected.
Lightning struck the city light wires
in several places, one of the bolts
putting a good section of downtown
lights out, including those at the city
hall, where council was in session.
The flash came in the middle of the
reading of the bus ordinance, which
had to be completed by the aid of
flashlights from the police depart
ment.

ANNOUNCES
WAGE AGREEMENTS
WITH 100000 men

Wage agreements have been reach
ed by the Pennsylvania railroad and
representatives of employees still en-
ployed by the company. effecting
more than 100000 men according to an
announcement received Tuesday at the
office of the superintendent of the
Richmond division
The agreements were negotiated in
a series of conferences. The last of
these negotiations, affecting the en-
ployes in the shop crafts. has just
been completed. The new rates of pay
in each case are effective as of July
Is instead of July l.
The classes of employees concerned
in these agreements are: Shop craft
employees, maintenance of way en-
pIoyes, signal department employees,
clerks and miscellaneous forces.
The matter of adjusting rates of pay
of these classes has been under ne
gotiations for several months. 1t was
handled entirely with committees Of
6mplON6S REPRESENTING bhC ' al 4OuS
classes.
The new schedules of wages differ
in some RESPECTS from the rates estab-
lished by the labor board for other
railroads, but the difference is in ia
vor of the Pennsylvania employees. For
, the most part the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn rates are graded in accordance
with skill and experience required and
the prevailing rates are generally
higher than those established for 9th
er railroads.
The completion of these wage ad.
justments marks the third important
achievement in industrial relations un.

employe representation which was es
tablished last year in order to give
| the employees an opportunity to have
a voice in the Pennsylvania manage

of mutually satisfactory rules cover

place of the so-called National Agree
ments, and the second was the estab
! lishment of permanent methods of set

200 FAMILIES HOMELESS
fBy Associated Press,

NEW YORK, July 1S-Working few
erishly to check the flames sweeping
a warehouse in the heart of Green
wich village, firemen today were un-
able to pierce thick cloak of mys-
terious black smoke which complete
ly surrounded the building, and were
forced to rig partial searchlights.
The fire followed an explosion about
noon today. Several more followed
By noon the casualty list stood az
two dead. nearly so injured and three
missing. The toll came chiefly from
the ranks of the fire and police depart
ments
Modified around the burning struc-
ture, which covered most of the block
bounded by James street, Greenwich
avenue, Twelfth street and Eighth
avenue on the lower West Side, was
the greatest collection of fire appara-
tus which has turned out since the
Equitable fire, and the veteran Acting
Chief Smoky" Joe Martin pronounced
it one of the worst he had known dur
ing his long years of service.
200 Families Homeless
Pungent black smoke drove nearly
200 families from their homes and
forced the police to withdraw the fire
line four blocks from each side of the
building.
Heat and smoke became so intoler-
able that firemen had to prop their
nozZles against tripods set up on the
street and climb TO neighboring roofs
to man other lines. Nearly five hours
after the blaze started the cause was
undetermined.
Police and firemen carried many
frightened women and children out OF
neighboring Greenwich Village tene
ments.
The warehouse is occupied by the
Manufacturers Transit Co.
