Figures showing the number of trucks and tho quantity of wheat loaded daily since January 2nd, compared with the corresponding period of last year, disclose that for eleven working days ended on Wednesday, January 13th 23.919 trucks were loaded this year. as against 31,518 trucks last year, and 30,577 trucks in 1913. The average daily loading has, therefore. Been about 1000 trucks per day less than; last year. With the object of eliminating household bother, fifty leading families in Alonclair, New Jersey, have decided to the vexatious luxury of maintaining their own cooks and 1 chambermaids, and have their dinners preparedl in a central kitchen and sent | to their houses in motor cars* equipped with an ingenious heating apparatus for keeping the food warm. Hitherto the yearly expenses of each family for domestic labour have been £1000. Under the new regime tlie total cost for fifty families will be £3416.
