Last year's operations, however, show- ed that some minor changes were desirable and these rules have been modified and applied on a vountary basis for the 1931 crop. Under these rules apples are packed according to size, grading machines being used largely for the purpose. Only two grades are packed--No. 1 and Domestic. The size spread in the package is clearly marked and provision made to include the smaller fine fruit which because of size formerly went into the No. 3 grade.

"It is many years since it was first demonstrated that express trains could be regularly schedu- led, on suitable tracks, at well over 60 miles an hour, including the time lost by stopping and starting and a reasonable number of delays en route. In the Uni- ted States, as long ago as 1900, the 56% miles between Camden (Philadelphia) and Atlantic City were covered daily by four trains of the Philadelphia and Reading Company (two in each direction) in 50 minutes. erage speed of 66.6 miles per hour and was equivalent to run- ning from London to Brighton in three-quarters of an hour. At the same date, the competing Pennsylvania company scheduled its 59 miles between the same two stations, also in each direc- tion, in 55 minutes, or at 64.3 miles per hour, and there were several other runs in the United States at over 60 miles per hour, and one in France, but none in England. "Until the War, the Atlantic City trains held the world's rec- ord by a comfortable margin, varying slightly at times. Thus the Pennsylvania at one period booked a train from Atlantiz City to Camden in 52 minutes, or 60- .0 miles per hour. Meanwhile, England in 1914 had only four trains booked at over 60 miles per hour, the fastest being Dar- lington to York, 44% miles, at 61.7, and the longest Paddington to Bath (slip), 106 7-8 miles, at 61.0. Both these runs are still made. "The War upset all standards of train speeds, and the Atlantic City trains have never been re- stored to their former brilliance. On the other hand, a very large number of other schedules in the United States, chiefly on the fact business service between Jersey City and Philadelphia, have. been raised to the 60 mile level--for example, 22 trains daily between West Trenton and Jenkintown at from 60.0 to 62.9 miles--and the total for the States is reckoned in scores. "In England the restoration of Pre-War speeds took place in most cases ahout 1923, in which year the Great » Western intro- duced what was then reputed to bo the world's fastest train by booking the run from Swindon to Paddington in 75 minutes, or at 61.8 miles. In the summer of 1929 this time was reduced to 70 minutes (66.3 mies per hour), at which figure it held the world's 1ecord till April of this year. Meanwhile, progress in France also had been considerable, and by 1929 there were runs from Paris to St. Quentin, 95% miles, in 92 minutes, 62.0 miles per Lour, and from Bordeaux to Dax, 91.8 miles, in 89 minutes, 61.9 miles per hour, the latter train being electrically hauled. The Paris-St.Quentin time has now been reduced to 88 minutes (64.8 miles per hour,) but even so does not equal the Great Western in mere speed, though it must be ad- mitted that the gradients of the Nord are much harder than those between Swindon and Paddington. "The next move was by the Canadian National Railways, 'which in the spring of 1930, in the process of cutting two hours at a stroke off the express line between Montreal and. Toronto, allowed only 120 minutes from start to stop for the 1253 miles between Montreal and Brockville. This again fell short of the Swin- don-Paddington average; but in April of this year the Canadian Pacific cut its time also between Montreal and Toronto by an hour god a balf, aud incidentally al: This gave an av- | lowed only 110 minutes in one, direction and 108 in the other fer the 124 miles between Smith's "alls and Montreal West, invol- ving start to stop speeds at 67.6 | and 68.9 miles per hour, respec- tively, and so getting ahead of the Great Western's record fo the time being. "The new timing of the Che) tenham train, however, definitely | regains the lead for England, and is a remarkable undertaking, see- irg that the middle 73 or 74 mila of the journey will have to be run in the hour, merely to keep | time. There is, however, no doubt as to the possibility of the new schedule, which has often been heaten in the course of mal- ing up time on the former 70- minute allowance; nor is any risk involved, the whole route being entirely free from sharp curves, | and being also protected by the | Gireat Western's special aitoma- | tic system whereby the siznals | displayed alongside the tine are | repeated in the cab of the ioco- motive." WINTER'S FOOD Rancher's Wife Uses Whole Animal in Winter Preparations Williams Lake, B.C. -- When Mrs. M. T. Mebbs, a ranchers wife, prepared her winter's feed supply she simply cans .a cow. "It may sound easy," says Mrs. Mebbs, "but when I finish the job there isn't one little bit of my arms that doesn't ache, and I hate the sight of that long, curved boning knife. But there is consolation in knowing that I have enough beef of almost every variety to last the household for months." * When Mrs. Mebbs feels the reed for replenishing the ranch's meat supply her husband goes out on the range to find a "beef" ---the fatter the better. Her nas- band tends to the killing and the skinning and cuts the carcass in- to workable portions. * But after that his part of the job is done. A rancher in the Cariboo country has plenty on his hands without belping with kitchen chores. "First of all I picked out all the steak parts and put them aside," related Mrs. Mebbs des- cribing the cow-canning process. "Thén I boned all the rest. Most of the 'meat I cut into ¢izeable pieces for boiling and put into a large barrel. I had al- ready made a brine of salt, brown sugar, molasses and boil- ing water, also a pinch of salt. poetre. This I poured over the beef and then put the cover on the barrel to keep out venture- some flies. "Next I took the steak and fri- ed and fried and after that fried some more. I nearly fried my- self. Imagine it--a hot July day and the cookstove going full steam ahead! Still that steak got 2. Two crocks of steak ready for use at any time. 3. Twelve sealers of sausage meat also ready for use. Then I made a bonfire of the bones and so provided plenty of grit for.the chickens instead of havifig to buy oyster shell. JAPANESE ACTORS FEELING PINCH Seek Permission to Return to Simpler Modes of Living Tokyo, -- Minor actors in the theatres of Japan are so poor these days that they are asking the management to allow them to return to the saiban custom. In other words, they want per- mission to subsist on rice instead of the more costly foods. Thirty years ago, before the ealban system was abolished, the low class actors needed to bring nothing for their luncheon but rice. "In their room they had a large pan put over a heater, or hibachi. In it vegetables were Loiled with soy and the actors could eat them with the rice they had brought from home. This custom they now want re- vived. But the management has hesitated to accept the request. "The actors are living in 1ux- ury, even if it is false," say the managers. "They even eat pork cutlets and we doubt whether they would be content to go back to saiban." But the poorly paid actors in- ¢ist that something must be done It had taken me four days, but | {, reduce the cost of living. | 1. A 1arge barrel of corned beef. There are about 750 actors in '| ivto four different statuses. Tdkyo whose names never ap jiu print in the casts. 'rhey paid from $10 to $25 a*m To make matters worse, they] -occasionally given no job f rionth or so, and then redu of wages is forced upon them. Those minor actors are LST: ction The lowest group are those who often portray maids in a play / and speak in choruses. Most of [these actors are young, but among them are some aged men. They cannot buy luncheon and 'they tring their food from home. In most cases they take omly one part and after working but 10 to 15 minutes they walk home. They are so poor that they are not even able to ride on street cars. Actors are very strict in ob- serving traditions and conven- tions. Should an actor of the low- est class happen to be found sit. ting on a chair belonging to an- other class just above his, then he would be severely reprimanded fer the discourtesy. SPEED UP BULLETS Berlin, -- H. Gerlich, German inventor, has perfected an inven- tion that doubles the speed of bullets fired from ordinary rifles. At present his device is a secret, but it is known that it increases the ordinary speed of a bullet, which is between 2,600 and 3,000 feet a second, to between 5,600 and 6,000 feet a second. Willesden reveller to police-con- stable witness--What I hate is that the likes of me pay rates and taxes to keep the likes of you. "Tommy hit me to-day, mother." "Well why didn't you hit him { back >" | "1 did. I hit him back first?" fried. It took me all one day to do it, too. "As soon as I had a panful ready I placed it in a large buttér crock. "At. the side of the fire I had lots of pieces of fat in a big, open saucepan rendering down while I fried. As soon as I put each lay- er of fried steak into the crock I covered it with the liquid fat, takng care not to have it quite telling or the jar might have cracked. In this way I soon had a four-gallon and a two-gallon crock of fried steak, being very careful that the last layer was thoroughly sealed with fat so that no air could get in. "When it was cool I put a piece of cheesecloth over and placed a layer of salt on the crock, after- wards putting on the lids and storing the jars in a cool place, ready for haying. Next day I took all the hones and scraped them. This meat, to- gether with all the other scrapes of meat left over from the pickled meat and the fried meat, T ground up in the sausage ma- cline. Then I flavored it with pepper, galt and sage and placed it in piass sealers with a generous al lowance of fat at the top. This I sterilized for four hours and put away with the jars of fried steak.
