.ICELESS CAR
SUCCESSFUL
Commodities in Prime
Condition New
York Reports

MERCEDES, Jan. 1.-THE first
long-distsnce haul Of 2 carload OF
vegetables under ~icclsss refrigeration
proved an unqualified success, ac-
cording TO a telegram received here
Tuesday afternoon by r. l.. Hall rep
~resentative Of the California Neee-
table Union. from John Deegan Co,
New York vegetable and fruit JOB
bers.
The car was billed from the pack
ing plant OF the Rio Grande Nege-
table Growers Monday night. Jan
uary Z. moving out OF Harrington
Tuesday morning. January s. II ar
rived in New York City Tuesday
night. January Is. and was sold Wed
nesday. /.
The car contained a wide variety or
vegetables, and the telegram stated
that all commodities had arrived in
prime condition, firm and crisp. in
dicating that the system was equal
to ice refrigeration IN every re-
spect SO far as preserving the vege-
tables is concerned.
The experiment has been watched
with great interest By carriers ana
shippers. Swift a. Co. have ~ re-
frigerator cars equipped with the
silica-gel refrigeration system, and
il is understood that the success OF
the first experiment viii result IN
more extensive experiments under all
kinds Of weather conditions. IL they
prove successful, the equipment Is
expected TO be installed IN q number
Of cars.
Weather reports from the north in
dicate that the car was given a rather
test. The thermostat was
set TO maintain the temperature at
So degrees, and though the shipment
encountered the coolest weather the
north has experienced in several
years. there was no damage TO the
car contents.
Refrigeration costs under the
yilica-gel system would depend upon
weather conditions encountered by
the car in transit. Under the present
system there is = standard refrig-
Grafton charge, but the new system
would fix the rate upon the basis OF
the number of times the apparatus
would be re-charged in transit. Dur
ing the winter months, it is stated,
the cost would be nominal. but would
increase with the advance Of warmer
weather. Whether it would average
more economical that standard re-
frigeration has not been definitely
ascertained.
The car and its contents were ex-
amined ty refrigeration experts be-
fore leaving the Valley and also un-
der went an examination at New
York. IL is understood that a COM
prehensive report will be filed with
both the shippers and the carriers
setting out in detail all phases and
results Of the experiment.

ELECTRICITY
IN KITCHEN

Electricity has done 30 much
for other household processes
that women are naturally eager to
know what It will do for cooking.
Over and again come the ques.
tions: What does 1t cost?" "Can
afford it?" Is it slow?" do the
ranges wear well?"
p The average Of the stoves in
use is said to be about 5000 watts.
Therefore, the price of electric
current becomes more important
when cooking is considered than
in any other case.
II 5000 watts were the average
consumption OF an electric range
in use ana three hours q day the
average time the range II used,
the daily cost would be 80 cents
at q cent rate, or so cents at q
4 cent rate. Those who are ex.
perienced in the use of electric
ranges do not find it necessary
to use so much OF the cooking
capacity of the stove for so much
of the time. Families of two and
three members using electricity
for cooking at a Z cent rate are
paying an average bill of but IS
to $12 a month. At q 4 cent rate

SEEING GOOD
IN OTHERS
BY Lucy Lowell

VIE do not often consider 10
wv what extent others Judge us
by our beliefs.
1t Is oddly enough, right that
this should be the case, since
each personality IL the sum total
of beliefs; each personality takes
on the color OF what the individ-
ual thinks about others, about
himself.
Have you ever wondered why
you cannot wholly trust the man
who goes through life suspecting
the honesty Of everybody he
meets?
This man may-and no doubt
will--tell you that he is abnor-
mally sensitive to dishonesty in
others because he is completely
. honest himself, His story may
more than half convince you-yet
you do not trust him.
You do not trust him because
some warning voice deep In your
consciousness informs you that
one who believes everybody dig
honest carries about dishonest
thoughts of his own.
His beliefs are dishonest; there
fore he IL dishonest. no matter
what his claims.
The man who sneers about mo-
tives, human relationships, law
and order, established institutions,
cannot but be under the suspicion
Of being sneering in his own con.
facts with those things. A man
disrespects women because his
attitude toward women has not
been q respect.producing one; he
calls politics crooked because his
contact with politics Is not
straight; he laughs at laws be.
cause he breaks laws.
1t Is the upright man who has
confidence in the uprightness of
others, it is the good man who
believes in the goodness Of others.
This mans beliefs are good and
for this peason he is adjudged 3
good man.

Writes an interesting philoso-
pher on this subject; "How amaz-
ing has been the revelation Of un-
suspected qualities of courage, re-
sOurcefulness, daring and self-con-
fidence In the minds Of young
girls which the automobile has
wrought!'
The automobile Is blamed for
many things, from petting parties
to increase OF crime. But surely
1t should be given credit for bring
ing out fine and hitherto unsus.
pected qualities Of feminine hu.
man nature, which in turn have
influenced romance.
Today, as never before, girls
and young men are fellow-adven-
turers, fellow.competitors, pals,
comrades. They share to great
extent the same sports, the same
work and play. There is between
them less Of the relationship of
protector and protected than for
nerly, more of good sportsman.

The Finger for the Diamond Ring
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
Will you please tell me Is it
ever permissible for a girl to wear
diamond ring on the third finger
of the left hand unless she is
engaged? The girl hasn't any
particular boy friend but doesn't
think it necessary to explain
where she received the ring. If
it were any other gem except a
diamond there wouldn't be any
question asked. II you say 1t
would be better to wear the ring
on the right hand, we will be
satisfied with your decision.
r. w. S.
There isn't any reason why the
girl should not wear the diamond
ring on the. engagement finger ex-
cept the reason that runs through
your questionable fact that 1t is
so often misinterpreted and won
dered about. Therefore it seems
simpler and wiser and less COM
