SECOND EMBARGO
CLAMPED ON FLORIDA

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Dec. 49,
H)-The second embargo on express
shipments went into effect in Florida
today. Paralyzed shipping facilities
here, due to the congestion prevail
ing over the entire state, caused the
American Express Company to declare
an embargo on all shipments into Flor
ida, with the exception of foodstuffs
and on all outbound citrus fruits and
fish originating south of here. A
south bound embargo through Jackson
vile was already in effect but only
the north bound ban ordered last
night. affected perishables.
Thousands of packages Of citrus
fruits sent from Florida, all over the
nation as Christmas gifts and to sup
ply trade demand has made it impos-
sible for us to operate without the
embargo" officials of the company
said.

Capture of Eugenio Bianquini, con-

Request for the pictures came in a
long distance telephone message from
Sheriff Brooks Thursday night. The
Frio sheriff refrained, however, from
giving Bexar deputies any information
ms to the reason for the request. he
merely asked for photographs and any
information concerning Bianquinl
which the Bexar officers might have.
Sheriff Stevens, in forwarding the
pictures Friday. asked Sheriff Brooks
for further details. His request is
believed to indicate that the Frio sher-
iff has located Bianquini and will at
tempt to place him under arrest.
Deputy Holloway was killed nearly
two years ago while returning from

there on an automobile theft charge.

THE KIWI

Billie Brownie was much excited.
He was going to call upon bird
creature he had never seen before. OF
course he always enjoyed calling on
his old friends. He liked to hear more
of their news.
Sometimes he liked to have them
tell him the same things about them
selves for then he could tell others
who hadn't heard all the news, and
he could freshen up his own memory
about their ways.
But 1t was an event to call on new
creature he had never seen at all.
He put on his best brown suit and
his best brown stocking cap with the
brown tassel at the end, and started
on his journey.
The new creature upon whom he
was to call was the Kiwi.
He didn't quite know how to pro-
nounce the creatures name but he did

The chief Characteristic of these
fashionable jumper suits is their ex-
treme simplicity. The material select
ed for the most exclusive sort Is apt
to be a fiat crepe of superior quality,
a heavy canton crepe or dull finished
wash satin. The majority of them
have long flowing ties, just as you
see in the model here pictured. The
skirt is usually wrap-around. There
may be bit of embroidery on the
pocket and a touch at the neck. Not
always is this so, for severe trims

noted on many Of the most exclusive
types.

The ensemble idea is effectively de-
veloped in these jumper suits, for
there is such excellent opportunity to
use two materials. For example, a
printed silk blouse posed over white
crepe plated skirt has a border
around the hemline matching the ma
terial Of the jumper. Further relation
Is established between the two, in that

BANANAS OFTEN
HANDLED BY
BRANCHES
Agents Solicit Orders Be.
fore Fruit Arrives
in America.

The larger portion of the bananas
are imported through sales branches,
located in all the important centcrs
Of the United States and Canada,
which solicit and receive orders for
the fruit from the jobbing trade in
their territory. These orders are
telegraphed or telephoned by the
branches to headquarters at the sea-
board for acceptance and are usually
received before the cargo of bananas
is. discharged, although orders are
taken at times for cars which have
already been shipped from the sea-
board. A large portion of the fruit
arriving at Atlantic ports is sold To-
cally by auction in truck lots. Ba-
nanas are sold to the jobbing trade
on the weight basis and many re-
tailers have now adopted the prac-
tice of selling by weight instead of
by quantity.
The successful banana jobber is on
the lookout for his shipments, unloads
them quickly and devotes great care
TO the physical handling of the fruit
in order to avoid soaring and bruis-
ing.
FRUIT CHILLED.
In winter protection is given
against chilling by thoroughly straw
ing wagons in which bananas are
transported, and by covering each
load with blankets or tarpaulins.
When the car is placed at the job
3er's unloading platform, canvas
windshields are employed to protect
The fruit while moving from the car
door TO the interior of the building.
The care and ripening Of the green
fruit in the banana rooms of the job
Der form an important link in the
long chain of operations extending
from the plantation to the retail dis
tribution, and the present advanced
type of banana room has been de-
signed to simplify handling and to
place the banana on the market as
maturcd nroduct at its highest in
trinsic value.
HUNG IN ROOMS.
The punches are hung systematical-
ly in the banana rooms from ceiling
looks with proper spacing to permit
he requisite air circula ton, and with
view to convenience in handling.
AS ripening is recognized as vital
phenomenon resulting from changes
taking place within the cells Of the
fruit, it is necessary to have normal,
wholesome conditions in the banana
room. Provision is made for fresh
air circulation and for the mainte-
nance Of the required degrees of hui
nudity and temperature. The room
is well insulated and fitted with spe-
cial heating and refrigerating appa-
ratus in order to maintain an even
temperature against exterior weather
conditions. The heating appliance is
so designed that the products Of COM
bustion are conveyed to the exterior.
VALUABLE FOOD.
In food value and flavor, the ba-
mana easily takes its place at the
head of the list of raw fruits. More.
over, it surpasses most of the vege-
tables in energy value and in tissue
building elements. 1t is one of the
few fruits which reach the highest
perfection in food value and flavor
when harvested green and allowed to
ripen after being severed from a tree
or a plant.
