FREIGHT RATES
ON WH|SKEY
UPHELD
Warranted by Necessity OF
Special Care Given by
Railroads

Existing freight rates charged on
shipments OF whiskey, .'in glass. in
barrels, or boxes, in carloads and
less than carloads, from various
Eastern points to destinations in
[ California, are not unreasonable,
the Interstate Commerce ComH1is-
sion held today. Efforts of num-
Der OF shippers to secure PREPARATION
from the railroads for alleged ex-
cessive rates were unsuccessful.
The commission took occasion to
point out that the transportation Of
whiskey under present conditions
is q source Of much annoyance
and unusual expense to the reii-
roads.
Such shipments are under special
protection of railroad police from
the time they come into the
possession of the railroad until they
are delivered to the consignee. A
guard rides the car containing it
during switching movements and
on the line hauIs.
Furthermore, each division no
titles the next division Of the train
and car number, so that a relief
guard may be on hand at the divi-
sion point to ride the car to the
next division. At destination q con-
slant watch is kept until delivery is
effected. In making up train,
car containing whiskey is placed
next to the. caboose, necessitating
extra switching.
In some instances the cost Of
policing whiskey shipments has ex-
ceeded the volume Of the freight
earnings OF $29.96 on a whiskey
shipment from Louisville to Chi
cago on which the cost OF policing
was $50. A number Of similar in
stances were also cited.

The stoker is an electrically op-
Grated device which performs all the
duties ordinarily done by the fur

clearing ashes from the ash pit.
This last particularly appealed to
Mr.. Davidson. After 1t had been
installed about a week he remarked
that this would doubtless be the
first winter since we moved into
q house that he would 30 to bust
ness feeling clean.
But this Is by no means all OF
the, electric stoker's accomplish
n.ents. Besides reducing, both OF
our work with the furnace, 1t also
makes possible radical economies in
the coal bill because with it we can
burn pea, buclkwheat, rice or barley
coal which costs a. great deal less
tnan the ordinary sizes or furnace
coal. For example, our yearly coal
bill, before we acquired the stoker,
ran about 5000, while last year,
burning the same amount of buck
wheat coal, fifteen tons only cost
less than 500.
The Heat Regulator
The effort the stolxer saved us in
shoveIing coal and emptying ashes,
the heat regulator amplified in end.
Ing Our trips to the cellar. The
device is remarkable in that it not
only eliminates the necessity for
having to go down to the cellar
TO regulate the furnace. but also
because It makes it possible to
maintain an even temperature. All
that one IL required to do is to set
the clock when heat is to be in
creased or decreased and the device
does the work. Anyone who has
ever gotten up out OF q warm bed
at 5 or s o'clock in the morning
and gone down to the cellar to
open up the furnace so the house
might be warm when the kiddies
and the wife were ready to rise will
appreciate the luxury of having this

cooIican, Pres'nent

A new thought in the purchasing
of personal transportation is of
fered by Oscar Cooi:can, president
of the Packard Washington Motor
Car Company, in the statement
that mechanical improvements in
cars affect tn. value Of lower
priced cars more than the higher

This opin Ola was ever in reply

According 10 NJ Coo.Acan, the

improvements as. foLf-wheel brakes
and balloon tires because their rid
ing quality and braking ability
were vastly superior to the aver

Motorists who have entertained
the fear that IN investing in q high
grade car they were overlooking
the effect of annual improvements
are told 10y the local Packard dealer
: that q nigf1 grade car neved needs
improvements as frequently as cars
which are less expertIy designed.
