SOME DIFFICULTIES
THE ICEMAN ENCOUNTERS

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
In recognition of the faithful service
shown to the Washington public by
your paper, I would like to say some
thing to the public about short weight
ice If you will kindly allow me space.
In the first place the man in charge of
an ice wagon has his ice weighed by
scales at different factories and at times
he has found his ice to be short any
where from 80 to $50 pounds. Then If
he says anything about it the answer
he gets is my scales are correct" l
am not upholdinS a man for giving
short weight, but l am trying to show
you what we are up against in this re-
spect. There are a number of people
Tho expect the driver to cut the exact
number of pounds of ice that they order,
which is a matter of impossibility. If
they want twenty-five pounds, and you
should cut twenty-three pounds and
give them. a small piece with it. they
would request you to take 1t back and
give it to them in one piece. The people
of this city have the best ice service of
any large city in the East. Take Balti
more, philadelphia and some of the
other cities and you will find that the
iceman does not bring the ice in, but
leaves 1t at your door or gate. Neither
do they deliver it on Sunday. We are
only allowed to give ten pounds of ice
for cents. Some expect twelve and
half pounds and will not take less, ana
still the companies tell you to get their
patronage, which we have to do at a
loss to ourselves. The company only
allows 10 per cent meltage or drainage
to the driver, no matter how hot 1t is.
If the law. governing the sealing of all
scales used by ice dealers was made so
as to include scales used by the con-
sumer. then everyone would get along
better. E. NJ.

ton also to the blind IN other parts Of
the United States. They learned that
the efforts for their happiness were ma
tional and OF the Federal Government.
They began to hope that a mighty
people was trying to place before them
"a handful. mere S0,OO0-what $4,000, 900
already had. The deaf do No: always
love one another, but there is a close
bond Of sympathy between the blind
Throughout the country there ran a lit
tie wave of jubilant hope among them.
Mr.. Young planned, too, that he would
be able to bring together at the Library
OF Congress a splendid set of books in
the brazil type for reading by the blind.
and also of books IN any way affecting
blindness or effectiveness of eyesight.
It was to be scientific for the friends of
the blind, as well as literary for the
blind. He worked far along those lines,
and in the meantime Miss Giffin. with
readings and musicales for the blind
who came there, had made the place
more than a club, and almost a home
for them. 1t was the home of their
thoughts Thomas Nelson Page was
their first reader.
So they got used to coming to the
big library with its many wonders, and
to the bright airy rooms where their

wizard of the willow wand continues
to add new leaves to his laurels, and
his supremacy shows neither variable
ness nor the shadow of turning.
1t was said of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan that he feared no rival except
the author of THE Rivals" and the
feeling must have haunted him, though
he managed to maintain much of his
prestige until he died. And Lord Bacon,
turning from the incubation of one OF
Shakespeare's plays, jauntily and sig
nifcantly remarked that mo man sees
worse days than he who, yet living,
doth follow at the funeral of his own
reputation" The jauntiness faded con-
siderably when, as lord chancellor, he
was caught with the swag, and he be-
came a pallbearer at the obsequies of
his own good name.
Taking flying leap to our own land
and time, there was something pa
thetic to Princetonians of half gen.
Grafton ago when they saw the aged
DR.. McCosh-strong and virile thinker
that he had been-unable to compre-
hend his own philosophy. Whether the
good ones can come back or not may
be left to the debates of the sporting
circles in their lighter hours. The i'm
portant thing is that the last note Of
sorrow is sounded when the man of
achievement finds that he can achieve
no more, for the mob shout "Hosanna!
today and "CrucifyIt tomorrow.
And yet there is Ty, serenely making
good season after season. On his home
grounds last Wednesday he sent out
a triple when he first came to the bat,
and then scored on Delehanty's sscri-
fee. In the third he drove home the
one run that was scored, and in the
fifth his triple brought in the two runs
made by the Tigers. It's enough to
make any man afraid of himself. Of
course, it's only baseball, but, taking
it for what it is, there is something
almost uncanny about Tyrus.
