= I've found, the hardest thing is not
learning the language, making friends
or worrying about war. 1t is shopping
20 that you have on hand only what
you can eat that very day.
The reason for it is this: Ice in
Paris is a rarity. Ice boxes are a
luxury. AS a substitute the French
kitchen has large box built in the
wall beneath the window.
This box is called the garde- man
ger Storage place for food, but since
food won't keep fresh for long by
being stored simply in the open air,
It IS necessary to buy in quantities
small enough to be consumed quickly.
Each morning l set out to market
ike French housewives or their maids
armed with black oilcloth bag about
~ by 18 inches in size and q milk
pail, to buy just enough for that day
d
In the Summer marketing comes
twice a day-once in the morning
for less perishable things and the
lunch, again in the late afternoon
tor dinner and the milk for the next
morning.
Fruit and vegetables usually come
from carts, which line square not
far from home, or from open-air
markets, which operate three times
. week from $50 am. to noon and
from 4:30 to pm.
Milk, sold by the quarter utre or
cup, Is dished out Of open-topped
cans at tho dairy and must be boiled
before using.
What far cry from pasteurised,
steriNsed, sealed d-bottled milk delivered

amounted to a total of 5000 Pc
SOS. Gen. Villalobos granted over
time and back pay from March 3,
1887.
Day of Rest
photographers in the Mexican
division contended that they work.
ed subject to 24-hour call, and
that the Compania did not pay them
for the day of rest. Compania Off
cials, on the other hand, contended
that their contract with the union,
signed Sept z, 1886, included pay
for the day of rest. Gen. Villalobos
held that the Compania must pay
at the rate of eight hours a day,
seven days a week, and that the
worker must have the stipulated
day of rest.
Under this decision, hydrograph-
ers will receive $4,000 pesos, while
gate tenders, foremen and patrol
men will receive $4,000 pesos.
The entire transaction is based
on the exchange rate, currently used
in district affairs, of 800 pesos for
IS.
Details of the mediator's decision
were to be studied Saturday morn
ing by officials of the Compania and
the Imperial Irrigation District. A
full translation will not be avail
able until then, they said.
President Evan T. Hewes of the
irrigation district commented that
"at last we will overcome the un-
certainty which has surrounded all
our operations in Mexico"
Before leaving Mexicai for Mex
leo City, Gen. Villalobos declared
that IT have tried to be fair TO
both workers and employers. 1t is.
of course, impossible to give de-
cision satisfactory to both sides,
but it has been my purpose to deal
equitably with everybody"
Final Basis
The Mexican labor increases, it
was pointed out here and in Mexi-
cali, are equivalent to wage in
creases granted to irrigation dis
trict employees on the northern side
of the international boundary dur
ing the past year.
II believe Gen. Villalobos Is a
man of ability and integrity" said
Hewes. II have become convinced
that he has been conscientious in
his efforts.
Until the terms of the findings
have been translated and analyz-
ed, cannot enter into any detailed
discussion of their effect. I do not
believe, however, that they will
bring about more than Is per
cent increase in Mexican labor costs.
TT is gratifying to have final,
definite basis for operations in Mex
ico."
