It To Beat H. C. L. With An Unless j Ic<bo.\ As the weather grows warmer and 1 ice slips into '-he ranks of commodities that march under the banner of H.C. L., the question of how to keep ? the refrigerator full this summer begins to worry the already sadly perplexed head of the family. In view of the scarcity of ice, the New York State College of Agriculture at Ithaca has been making some experiment in methods and devices for boiling the iceman. As a result the jj Syracuse Kit-hen, as a part of its extension woik in home economics, has demonstrated an iceless icebox [ * Aat may be set up by any houseI holder at a cost of $11, six of which p the for the services of a carpenter. If you are handy with tools you can a. \clip off the cost of the carpenter, and , by using an old piece of Canton flannel or cotton blanket you can) reduce the cost of your home-made refcigerator to $3.75. At least that is the way the State College figures it oat; and this is the way it is done, according to information sent out by Director A. R Mann. celess refrigerator depends on the principle that evaporating . water has a cooling effect. It is sim, ply -an open framework of shelves 't surrounded by wet cloth. It should be kept in a shady place where air is in motion. The shelves, the bottom, andrthe four supporting posts should pform an open framework covered ; with wire screen. The top is solid 1 Wood, and supports an enameled pan. ! Tid^front is hinged as a door. "-All four screened sides are covOjintrin smooth W \ side out, buttoned on. The buttons p> are sewed on a tape which is tacked h v .to the frame so as to engage the 1 button-holes in. the cloth. This plan ft Of buttoning permits the use of a V duplicate cover and allows for a "* Utokly washing. Fastened around the W tofPare four flaps of cloth which exI .toad up o\-er ihe top into the upper f ' pan of water. They serve as wicks or k? )jfttons to ke -p the Canton flannel edver moist. f~ ; ? % "If practicable, the whole affair . should be white, as that retracts heat > t 'S ,3md light. The screening should be of ^" /r ? non-rusting wire, such as copper or nine." ^ For convenience, the College ad? vises a size of four feet, eight inches in height and two feet, square, with the shelves eleven inches apart. Further directions state: .. These dimensions require three , yards of twenty-four-inch wire screen, one pint of white paint for V * first coat, and one pint of white enajnel; fifty linear feet of three quartI h , er by three inch stuff for framework, sixteen feet of one-inch lumber one foot wide for shelves (unless shelves ; ? are made of wire), and forty-six lin' ear feet of molding; hinges, catch, j? buttons ,tape, nails, tacks, and thirteen yards cf thirty-inch Canton Tfki/tU tt-ill fu-n PAvnr; " f I XXft'lilCiy nxuvi 1 ?itl liiu.kV.
