Billy stood on tiptoe and spake in-
to Ralph Truman's ear. "Leave me
alone a bit with Clay. I have souni-
thing important to say to him."
She stood behind Clay, when
Ralph obligingly walked away, won-
dering how to attract his attention
without startling him. Ralph, watch-
ing her at a distance, sensed her
problem and gave order that caused
the machinery on thai side of the
building to stop abruptly.

True and False Eeonomy
It is a common mistake to .think that saving ice is
the only way in which a refrigerator can prove itself
economical. So many people consider ways of pre-
serving the ice and neglect the far more important
duty of the refrigerator—keeping food.
While a refrigerator should be economical in ice
consumption, this economy should never be forced by
means not already a part of the refrigerator. The
ice should nót be covered or wrapped. We might
juSt as well expect, a fire to give off maximum heat
when it is banked as to expect ice to cool effectively
while checked by a covering.
The impprtance of these general principles of Re-
frigeration cannot be over-estimated. There is a vast
difference in the effectiveness oí refrigerators due to
failure by many to adhere to the.se principles.
