Freshly dug potatoes are subject to skmn ng and bruising, which may result In enormous shrinkage from water loss ami decay. To avoid this, cure new potatoes by letting them stand a few hours In the open before placing them In storage. This allows the surface to dry and harden and thus become resistant to possible bruising In later handling. Furthermore, bruised tubers will keep better if they are not stored immediately at low temperatures. From 38 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit Is the best storage temperature, according to Professor Hardenburg. Temperatures below 30 degrees Fahrenheit are likely to result in some accumulation of sugar and a sweetish taste in the tubers. To prevent sprouting, the temperature should be kept below 41 degrees Fahrenheit. Use Moderate Humidity. Use u moderate humidity, advises He recomProfessor Hardenburg. mends a humidity of from 85 to 00 per cent since It will prevent condensation of moisture on the tubers and the walls and ceiling of the storage room, and at the same time will also prevent drying of the tubers. Ventilation is Important to remove foul air and moisture which may be given off by the stored tubers. Darkness Is also essential. Tubers exposed to light turn dark and become hitter. MILKING MACHINE NEEDS CLEANING 1 v WATSON HOWARD TAFT, chief justice of the United States, has alwajs been know i) ns a genial man. Rut Just now the smile on Ills face is a little broader than ever before, for one of Ills long elierished plans Is about to be realized and By ELMO SCOTT iLIJAM the highest court In the land, over which he presides, Is to have a home ut last. A pint of the govern me nt's $200,000, OX) building program for the National Capital Includes a magnilicent structure for the United States Supreme court, the site for It hus been selected and a commission hns been created to provide plans for the building. As every school boy knows, our government hns three branches legislative, executive and Judicial, each presumably of equal Importance. It seems curious, therefore, that throughout the 133 years of our nation's history one of those three should be at least something of a "step-sisteso far as Its having a home commensurate with Its dignity and Importance Is concerned. The executive branch has always had Its White House, standing In solitary state as the symbol of Its honor of housing the one man who Is the head of all of our government activities, the President. For most of those 133 years the legislative branch has had Its great-domeCapitol large enough to take care of the growing needs of the Increasing membership of congress. But the Supreme court, the judiciary branch of our government, has never had a place In which It could feel the pride of sole possession. It has always been a tenant In the home of the legislative branch, and the latter has sometimes been a very grudging landlord. But now the Supreme court Is to move out of that sometime Inhospitable home and set up housekeeping for Itself In a new borne which will be ns distinctive as thp White House and the Capitol and will proclaim In Its gleaming white walls the power that resides within. The new building will stand near the Capitol so that congress and the Supreme court will still be neighbors. The site for the new hall of justice hus been chosen after a long controversy in which Chief Justice Taft hns been the victor. To win that victory he had to overcome the objections of some of the members of the court Itself and of congress to any removul of the court from the present quarters. But when the bill to create the commission for planning the new building was passed by congress, the Inst obstacle was removed and the new home of the Supreme court will rise where the chief Justice hns desired It to be. on the plaza east of the Capitol and flanking the congressional library. The first meeting of the Supreme conrt after the new republic was established took place In New York cliy. which was then the Capital of the nation. The meeting place was in the Royal Exchange building at the foot of Broad street, nnd the date was February 1, 171)0. It continued to meet there until the Capital was moved to Philadelphia. Then In February, 1701. the chief Justice opened court In the City Hall building next to Independence hall. Most of us remember from our school histories who wore the first men to hold the Important executive positions In the new government, but how many of us know who were the first justices of the Supreme court, those men upon whom Involved the duty of Interpreting the first laws passed for the guidance of the new nation? The first court, ns appointed by President Washington, consisted of John Jay, of New York, as chief justice, who was then In his forty-fourtd Railroads Important study of economic conditions In other countries shows the dependence of our nation upon its railroads.

Apparently the bond is Just as strong as with the ordinary asphalt applied to a dry surface.

Robert Hanson Harrison, of Maryland, was next selected. He was forty-fou- r years old and resigned the olllee just five days after he had been confirmed, to become chancellor of his state. James Iredell was appointed to Judge Harrisons place. He was from North Carolina and was the youngest member of the group, being but thirty-eigh- t years old. Another appointee to the bench was John Rutledge, of South Carolina, who, however, never attended a session of the court. In 171)1 he resigned to become chief Justice of his state. Ills place was filled by the appointment of Thomas Johnson, of Maryland. When the government was moved to the new Capital on the Potomac, the Supreme court remained In Philadelphia until August, 1800. And it was not until February 2, 1 .SOI , that it finally put In an appearance at Washington. Arriving there, the court was given temporary accommodations on the first floor of the Capitol in a room known as the senate clerks office nDd now occupied by the nmrshal of the court. There It remained until 1808, but during one period of Its bistory, while repairs were being inside to the Capitol, this solemn body held Its meetings In a Washington tavern When the repairs were completed the Supreme court returned to the Capitol to find that it had been placed on the basement floor underneath the senate chandler surely a good example of subordinating the Judiciary to the legislative I It was still occupying this room when the war of 1S12 broke out and when the British nrmy arrived In Washington, Ellas Boudinot Caldwell, elerk of the court, took the court records to his home at 200 Pennsylvania avenue. Southeast, for safekeeping. There, lu this house, which Is still standing, the court held Its sessions until it moved baek Into the Capitol In 1817. It was then provided with quarters temporarily prepared for its use in the pHrt of the north wing of the Capitol, which hod been burned by the British, a place said to be "little better than a dungeon. This Mr. Caldwell, who was serving as clerk of the Supreme court at this exciting period of Its history was an Interesting character. He was named for Ellas Boudinot, of New York, known as the "First President of the fifty-seve- n fifty-seve- less-ruine- China hns as much coni and oil as we have, four times the population, an area nea ly half again as great n the entire United States, hut fewer miles of railroads than there are In the state of Iowa.
