Considering Ways and Means to
 Erect Own Home

That the Business and Profes- slonal Women's club will have its own home some time in the future Is indicated by tho fact that con- siderable enthusiasm Is being shown among the membership in the pro- posed building fund, which is ex- pected to be started this month.
 The club now rents the home on High street. II was secured orig inally on q thrce-year lease and later on four year additional lease. At the end of the seven years 1t is likely 1t will be necessary to renew the lease again but in the meantime the members are considering ways and means of providing a club house of their own.

Corinne Erickson, Mary McCue, Mary Meyer, Hazel Dohrenwend and Anna Foberg. | Dancing will start at o'clock and supper will be served at 11:S0. Music will be by the Bacchanalian 1 orchestra.

There seems to be no doubt but that Mildred Weld will succeed herself as president, but several other important changes are predicted. Two members of the board of directors automatically gc off the board and the death of Mary l.. Curtin creates a third vacancy The death of Miss Curtin also makes it necessary to elect & new record ing secretary. This position hal been filled by Miss Helen Philips 1T conjunction with her position a! treasurer. since Miss Curtin's death Miss Philips likely will be reelected treasurer and Miss Matilda Zimmer man as corresponding secretary.

Local art circles have been

The real increase is attributed to

EXPERTS STUDY
FREIGHT CAR
ICING
Commerce Commission Is
Gathering Data on Refrig-
Grafton of Vegetables
BY HARRY WARD.

An investigation of far-reaching
Importance to growers and shippers
Of perishable vegetables regarding
the icing problem during shipment
is being made by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, in co-opera-
ton with the Department of Agri-
culture.
The main object of the investi-
cation, which is expected to con.
sumo more than a year, is to de-
termine the value Of, and the
necessity for. body icing in the
shipment OF certain types Of perish
able vegetables, the effect of this
practice on the equipment and the
means of obviating any deleterious
effects on the equipment from this
practice.
Three Problems.
BY body icing is meant the re-
frigeration OF the produce in a car
by the placing of ice in direct con,
tact with the vegetable.
The general plan of the investi.
cation will take into consideration
these three main points:
/. Can the produce be transported
to market In good condition with.
out body icing, or is some form OF
body icing necessary, and IL it is
necessary, how much ice should be
used in the body OF the car and
where should it be placed
2. What Is the effect on the car
Of the water from the melting ice in
the body of the car?
3. How can damage to the car be
prevented economically and effec
lively, IL damage Occurs, and If ii
is found that the produce cannot he
delivered to market without body
icing?
Records OF Prices.
Records viii be made OF prices
received for the prodace at tiesti
nation as matter of information,
Conclusions as to the carrying
quality OF the produce, however
viii be based mainly on condition
on arrival, as shown by careful IN.
spection.
It is planned to make as many
tests with as many different com
modities at various seasons of the
year as is practicable.
