Mixed Car Shipments

y u most interesting phases in connection
III. ''se'aoie industry in the Lower Rio Grande
4Ns mas been the development Of the so-caue5
- shipments, consisting Of mixed cars Of veye-
tables most Of which are CONSIGNED - ,m.u -.
unable to consume straight cars Of the v.r;o,. Co..
modities. 'i'uS GUM
e mixed car shipments had their inception sew
erai years age. and each year they have aided in ex-
N"U"s the markets for Valley products. Last sea-
n" M = per cent Of TO- total shipments went out
IN mixed cars, hundreds going to small market, which
previously had ordered their vegetables in small con-
slsnments from the commission men in the larger
markets.
Inc mixed car y filling a vital need in providing
n vegetable supplies of the entire country, and has
been an important factor in creating a new demand for
fresh vegetables during the season when the northern
consumers are calling upon the extreme south for their
supplies. Under the old system, express and freight
charges from large markets to small consuming centers
made the price almost prohibitive for the average con-
sumer, and the quality of the commodities. due to much
handling. was often impaired. Under the mixed car
arrangement the smaller cities are now receiving their
supplies at approximately the same price as the larger
market centers, and the vegetables arrive at destina-
tion in excellent condition. In other words, the mixed
car has made it possible for millions Of consumers, who
formerly were deprived Of fresh vegetables during the
winter months, to secure supplies at a very moderate
cost.
The attention the Valley shippers are devoting TO
this phase OF the vegetable industry Is proving OF great
value to Valley growers, and the latter should reciprc-
cate by diversificstion Of paintings which will assure
the desired mixtures. One handicap often confronting
the shippers is to secure the supplies ordered by Gus
toners. The shipper is sometimes compelled to trans
fer the car to various points in the Valley to complete
loading. all of which is expensive and tends to reduce
profits for both growers and shippers.
One Valley cooperative has worked out . planting
program to assure the desired supplies for mixed car
shipments, and IL would be advisable for all Valley
communities to adopt a similar program. While the
profits on some Of the commodities may be small, they
are practically assured of greater profits on the aggre-
gate, and it makes no difference to the grower whether
he gets the big profit on cabbage or egg plant 50 long
as he gets il.

This is. in many ways. the Age Of the Machine.
There seems to be literally no limit to the ingenuity OF
man in creating mechanical devices to perform che
work done by his own ~hands-together with new work
OF a character never even dreamed Of in the past.
What is the immediate influence-and the ultimate
effect-of this great tendency upon The individual men
and women whose livelihood has been derived from he
manual labor which, in so many cases, the machine has
rendered obsolete. What becomes Of them?
CHANGING through the pages Of a scientific magazine
for this current month, ! see a heading. lone Machine
Fills a Huge Plant" and In the subhead I find the
phrase: Turns out complete automobile frames almost
untouched by human hands" Here we seem to have a
supreme example Of the tendency I've mentioned-al-
most, in fact, a elimination of it.
The plant under discussion is virtually one hug
automatic machine, which receives and inspects strip
steel and manufactures a completed enameled frame IN
less than two hours" Except for a few minor matters,
we arc told. the machine takes care of all the opera
lions.
The swift advance of the machine has made a deep
impression on many sensitive thinkers, and some of
them have drawn terrifying pictures Of a future world
in which man is dwarfed, smothered, engulfed-or even
utterly destroyed-by the monstrous engines to which
his brain has given birth.
But the more calm students Of the subject take
quite the opposite view. They see the machine as a
hberator-s swift and facile builder Of boundless
wealth. creator Of new convenieuces and comforts

from the sweating backs Of the toilers.

Suffers Relapse After Opera.
tion at Brooklyn Hospital
Last Monday

New York, March 10 (AP)
Nora Bayes. musical comedy actress.
died today in a Brooklyn hospital.
She was taken to the hospital last
Monday for an abdominal operation.
She was thought to be on the road
to recovery when she suffered a re-
lapse last night from which she did
not rally.
She was born in Milwaukee in
1880. She was star on the stage
for more than 20 years. making her
first appearance in vaudeville in
New York.
The last appearance of Miss
Bayes, whose real name was Dora
Goldberg, only the day before she
entered the hospital was to sing at
two benefits, one for old friends
among the poor and ono for crippled
children.
Her voice seemed as strong as ever
when her program at the Doyer
street mission, in Chinatown, sung
for her old friend "Tom" Noonarl,
who carries on the rescue work, was
broadcast by radio.
sThese gallant appearances were
typical Of her disregard for failing
health during the past two years.
She is survived by her husband.
BENJAMIN L. Friedland, whom she
married three years ago on the
steamship Leviathan, and by three
adopted children.

CHICAGO JUDGE
RAPS PRESENT
DAY CRIME WAVE
kavanaugh's Conclusions Pre-
sented in Book Criminal
and His Allies

Chicago, March 19.-tR-Thirty-
three years on the bench have con-
WINGED Judge Marcus Kavanaugh OF
two things:
u)-That there are $4,000 per-
sons in the United States who live
partly or wholly by crime, who com.
mitted $4,000 murders last year. and
who obtained illegally in the same
period enough money to pay for the
building Of the Panama canal.
(2)-That there are 'simpl<
methods of relief" available, il only
the public would insist upon theil
adoption.
Judge Kavanaugh, who sits or
the superior court bench, has based
his opinions not only upon his long
experience but upon three years OF
intensive study of the crime situa.
tion. His conclusions are presented
in 1.-THE Criminal and His Allies" a
book now on the presses.
Some of His Criticisms
"Public apathy" "Quibblint
Courts of Review" "Antiquated
Legal Processes" and "New Proc
esses Designed to Protect the Grim
inar Rather than the Public" are
some Of the jurist's criticisms. He
defends the death penalty and en-.
courages the use Of the lash in these
words:
mo underworld lord can retain
the respect of his followers after he
has WINGED under the pain Of q
Whipping. The cat-0-nine-tails is
feared more by the moron and
racketeer than q Jail sentence"
Judge Kavanaugh offers a remedy
for delays occasioned by trial techni.
calities. A statute Of 18 words. he
believes. would aid greatly. "Al
laws and rules Of courts" he writes
Concerning forms, practice and pro.
cedure, shall be directory only, and
not mandatory"
Use of Alienlsts Scored
Employment Of alienists in mod
crn criminal procedure, Judge Kav.
anaugh holds, is ''another instance
of pampering the lawbreakers. The
jurist suggested that If Socrates had
been given q trial before an English
speaking jury and been defended by
q modern lawyer. using an insanity
defense, "he need never have drunk
the hemlOck."
Ruth Snyder's slaying of her hus-
and is cited by Judge Kavanaugh in
defense Of his statement that the
female criminal is more to be feared
than the male. He says:
mo man can be as good as . good
woman. No man can be as bad as q
bad woman. A woman is Away,
more hurt by her fall than is = mar
by his fall, for the reason that Z
man only drops from the first story
window, while a woman tu.1ble,
