estimate is that two tons day will serve a
population of LOCO, and thus a fifty-ton
plant would do for Mount Vernon.
This, however. is to be regarded as a
risky experiment for city to undertake as
matters now stand. The trouble Is with the
cost of manufacturing artificial ice. The
people Of New Orleans, for example, have
to depend at all times upon artificial ice,
since the climate Is never severe enough to
provide a natural supply; and they are said
to be getting Ice from artificial processes,
year in and out, at from % to 80 cents per
100 pounds delivered at the houses. There
is never any trouble about that. and il our
northern cities were similarly situated the
problem would speedily settle itself with us
in the same way. But In the present state
of ice-manufacturing processes there Is said
to be no possibility of being able to make
and sell artificial ice at much less than 30
cents per 100 pounds delivered; while natu-
raj ice. after a severe winter can be sold
at a much lower price. Suppose, then,
city or private capital should commit itself
to expensive artificial ice plants at such
time of scarcity as the present. The result
would be that one or two severe winters
would yield an enormous crop OF natural
ice which could be gathered and stored at
little cost and sold at prices to put the
artificial ice plants out Of business. A city
like Mount Vernon would have a non-pro-
ductive investment for its pains, and 1t
could not even employ its plant effectively
to keep down the prices of the natural Ice
dealers as low as they could be placed TO
yield a profit.

ICE PROBLEM.
Municipal Plants for Making It Will

Be Risky Speculation.
From the Springfield Republican.
Ice has come to be almost as much of a
necessary Of living as light and transpor-
tation, and nearly every city In the country
Is being reminded this summer of the dam
gers or hardships involved in exposing the
supply to the uncertainties of winter
weather. The popular impulse is to at
tribute the scarcity and high prices to COM
binations of ice dealers rather than to the
mild winter, and in dozens of cities over
the country Ice dealers are under prosecu-
ton on charges of attempting monopoly and
extortion. Some Of these cases are no doubt
well grounded. but the underlying trouble
is real scarcity growing out of the unusual
winter season.
AS this fact comes to be recognized the
question Is presented with greater force
than ever why urban populations should
not turn to an artificial supply as the only
certain safeguard against periodical famine;
and why, In the absence Of private enter
prise in this direction, the municipal gov
eminent should not erect plants for the
manufacture and distribution Of ice. The
city Of Mount Vernon, N. T., OF 1900 pop
-ulation. has taken just this step. and has
contracted for . plant to cost $4,000 and
to be completed In sixty days. It can be
worked with eight men. and win have q

fiuential magazines and periodicals and
high-class newspapers during the last year
In regard to the attractions of Washington
than in the previous decade. Just what
caused this vogue in the numerous publ
cations, which is doing the capital SO much
good, he could not say. but that the re-
newed publicity had attracted widespread
attention to the city was not to be doubted.
All these causes are, of course. SO many
drops Of water that are making for the
capitals future success.
In many cities throughout the country
the question of overproduction is one that
is seriously confronting the realty mart.
Not SO with Washington, however. There
are probably two thousand properties for
from the medium-class houses up, for rent
here. By the LIST of November. unless all
signs absolutely disappear, large per-
centage, If not nearly all Of these proper
ties will be rented. In the smaller apart
ments and small house propositions there
are not near enough to go around.
The cry is heard on all sides that Wash
ingtOn has not sufficient small houses which
would rent for from SIT to 500 per month
hoods. With the proper sort of car service,
the average workman or government en-
pioye does not object to going out for
mile or SO. Unfortunately, however, along
the car lines where there are building sites
for the class of property mentioned, there
Is not the proper sort of car service for else
there Is some other disadvantage which
precludes and prevents the workmen or
government employe, as the case may be,
from renting Moreover, the man who Is
willing to go out that far and is perma-
nent resident of the city can usually buy
h1s home for just about what he would
nave to pay to rent 1t.

The dealers are not able to account for
the extensive correspondence on this score,
unless 1t be due to the present agitation
and the advertising that the capital is
having from many sources. A banker who
is largely interested in Washington realty
said the other day to an agent who looks
after some of his property that he believed
that there had been more articles and
more interesting stories published In In

Bookkeeping for Children.
From the Outlook.

From the OUTLOOK.
I found the other day in a collection of
old papers the account book opened with
my eldest son when. upon his sixth birth
day, an allowance of % cents week was
given him. Out of that he was to give to
the Sunday school five cents weekly. He
was to use his own judgment in spending
his money, but he was to give account for
every penny on Saturday night, when his
father went over the account with him and
settled it for the week. A schedule of
charges for misdemeanors was fixed upon
at the outset; the child decided what they
should be, and signed contract to pay the
same cheerfully when required. He was
to be paid extra for doing certain things,
like shoveling snow, wedding the garden,
etc. Added to this an account was kept Of
gifts Of money, making all in all quite bit
of bookkeeping, demanding regularity and
accuracy of entries. That account book,
with pencil attached, was kept within easy
reach. Here are a few items on the debit
side:

While We are settling our losses In cash
still II has not been necessary for us to
sacrifice OF dispose OF any of our sccuri-

In increasing the companies assets ONE
