Fats and Sweets
For Children

The diet of the child should con-
tain a higher percentage Of fat for
fuel purposes than that of the adult,
though not so high as that of the
infant. The animal fats containing
the fat-soluble vjtamins have an
added value as foods. A child taking
a pint of whole milk a day receives
enough of the fat-soluble vitamin
to make no further provision neces-
ssry, so that the fat or oil given
primarily for energy may be made
up of the cheaper fats. Butter sub
stituteS and vegetable oils are cas-
ily digested by children. If skim
milk is given. however, cream or
butter should be included in the diet.

SeF-Seruice Can Reduce Operating Expense

Self service stores under certain
conditions tend to lower food prices
and the cost of other household
commodities to the consumer by re-
ducing service charges to a mini
mum. This form of retailing, which
is now common in many States, has
been studied by the United States
Bureau of Markets and Crop Esti-
mates, from the point of view of
store operation. It's advantages
and difficulties have recently been
summarized in United States De
partment of Agriculture Bulletin No.
1914, Self-Service in the Retailing
of Food Products, by F L. Chaffee
and McFall Kerbey.
This bulletin is also of interest to
farmers who know that IN the ordl-
nary course of distribution a consld-
cradle part Of the price paid by the
consumer for farm products goes
to defray handling charges incurred
after the goods leave the farmer
Often half the total OF these charges
is due to expensive retailing practi-
ces. Much OF this handling can not
be avoided but under given conditions
some of it can be dispensed with
The cost of furnishing credit and
delivery to customers Is one of these
handling charges which the self
service store eliminates, in addition
to economies in the clerking and
selling force. In comparing self
service with other stores, only the
"cash and carry" type are consid-
cred.
There is wide diversity of opinion
regarding the advantages and dis
advantages of the self-serve store.
No two stores operate under iden-
teal conditions so that results of
studies are necessarily relative.
These studies show that the wage
expense Of self-service store
should be about 9 or 3 per cent Of
the total sales, where service
store with like volume of business
pay statesmen who wait on the custo.
mers between and per cent Of
the total sales Other considerations
increase the possible savings under
this plan of operation to about D
per CeHJ. III duOlLlOH 10 IllIS Itla
lively low operating expense a self
service store has several other adj
vantags. 1t usually requires a small
Ter initial investment in proportion TO
the size of its. business, 1t requires
fewer employees. 1t gives the av-
erage customer greater satisfaction
in time saved and the privilege of eX
aiming and handling goods. 1t edu-
Gates its customers in food grades
and values through display.
The disadvantages are chiefly
that it does not attract customers who
demand certain services. There IS
little chance to push" special goods
and perishable products, especially
meat, are difficult to handle. There
is some possibility of petty thieyery,
though investigation shows that los
ses due to pilfering on the average
are inconsequeotial. Careful ac'
counting is necessary in operating a
self-service store because of the very
narrow margin of profit allowed
Important general considerations IN
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-05-30

the establishment and operation of
self-service stores are the choice Of
proper location, where a large
number of possible customers will
be attracted; a convenient arrange
ment of the store for routing the
customers past the checking and
wrapping counter, and for display
ing the goods; and intelligent buy
ing, grading, and pricing. with
view to meeting the special re-
quirements of this type of store.
Self-service may be satisfactorily
applied under conditions outlined in
the bulletin to the retailing of nearly
all perishahlef farm products rs
we'll as staple groceries, but modifi-
cations Of the usual methods are
necessary in the case of certain pro-
ducts.
One of the most satisfying fea-
lures of the self-service plan is the
ability to take care OF large num-
Der of customers very rapidly during
the rush hours. The bulletin des-
cribes one store, among others. which
on a Saturday did a business of
$4,000. with g employees 4 of whom
were boys not employed during the
week. Only one exit was used, at
which there were two checkers and
one cashier. The number of cuSto-
mers was 1865. This was an average
of and l-3 customers per minute,
but during the buster hours of the
day the cashier and checkers hand
led as many as 8 to 10 customers
per minute.
BY a judicious arrangement Of
such articles as are likely to tempt
petty thieves, the losses from this
source are minimized. One proprie-
tor puts all the small expensive arti-
Giles which are likely to be stolen, in
side the refrigerator, as he has found
that pilferers will not go inside for
them. Another recommends locating
such articles near the cashiers desk.
The various ways in which store
may be laid out with respect to its
shelves, display cases, exit and
checking counters are described at
length in che bulletin, with ilustra-
tive diagrams No~special floor
plan is essential to the success Of a
self-serve store; the main require
ment is that there shall be one exit
so that the work of receiving the
payment for purchases and wrap
ping them shall be mfnimized
Suggestions on grading, buying
and pricing are made. The alphabet
zeal arrangement Of goods on the
shelves is not recommended.
Groups such as canned goods"
bottled goods" package goods"
bulk goods" "flours. meals etc. "
refrigerator goods" and fresh
fruits and vegetables" are suggested
instead Emphasis is laid on a plain
and convenient way of marking the
price for goods.
Those interested in the plan will
find in bulletin No. 1914 explanations
Of some of the methods of accounting
which have proved satisfactory in
successful stores of the self-service
type. The bulletin is available upon
application to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.

Lesson No. As
THE COIL AERIAL

Il
During the war it was possible by
means of the valuable directional prop
critics of the coil aerial to locate the
position of radio outfits operated by
the enemy in the trenches, on vessels,
or in the air.
By means of fog signalling system
operated by a lighthouse, vessels
equipped with direction finder using
a coil aerial may determine their To-
cation in a fog so dense that 1t can
not be pierced by the powerful rays
Of the warning light.
Simplicity of construction and abH
ity to receive waves from a particular
direction without interference from
other waves are two marked advant-
ages of this type of aerial. AS shown
by the following diagram it may con-
sist of a few turns of wire mounted on
a wooden frame which is arranged for
rotation through an arc of $50 de-
grees, and small enough to be located
in an ordinary room. BY rotating the
coils, signals from particular station
may be received and other signals
practically eliminated.

Fifteen Minutes of Radio Each Day
By EDWARD N. DAVIS
Formerly Technical Electrical Expert for u s. Government

able contrast therefore to the outdoor
serials in general use, such as the Sin
verted L" and "T' types which re
quire the mechanical support OF masts,
guys, spreaders and insulating con-
nections. In comparison with the out
door aerial the coil type can transmit
only small amounts of power which
precludes its use as transmitting aer-
lal but it possesses important direc-
tional characteristics, as more intense
waves are emitted parallel to its plane
than at 80 degrees to it.
As a receiving aerial, when the
plane of the coil is in the direction of
the advancing waves, the strongest sig
nails are obtained and although not as
powerful as the large antenna, it is
capable of receiving signals from long
distnces when connected to very sensi-
tive amplifiers.
Signals have been received in the
East, from the Pacific Coast and from
Germany on a coil aerial consisting of
a few turns of wire used in conjunc-
ton with Highly sensitive amplifers.
AS direction finder, it serves a
valuable purpose for it not only re
ceives the electric waves but deter
mines the direction of the transmitting
station. 1t may be used therefore by
Governmental radio inspectors in the
detection of stations which violate the
radio law governing transmission.
When the plane of the coil is in line
with the advancing wave, the strong
est signals are received, whereas when
the plane Of the coil is at right angles,
the energy induced in the coil by the
wave is at a minimum. The induced
current circulates around the coil in
stead of oscillating up and down as in
the case of the ordinary type Of out
door antenna.
