The Travellers Railway Guido.

me ITdNeicFS halfway buides
The June issue of the Travellers
Railway Guide begins the sixtieth
year of its continuous publication.
This is one of the oldest establish
ed railway timetable guides in exis-
tence having first been published un-
der the name of Appleton's Railway
Guide, in the year 1856.
The Guide continued to fill this i'm
portant field under that name for 80
years or until 1885, when it was con-
solidated with the Knickerbocker
Ready Reference Guide. The name
was later changed to the Travellers
Railway Guide-Eastern Section.
Many improvements have been made
from time to time to meet the require
ments of the travelling public, and
now the guide is depended upon by
thousands of persons. who find it in
dispensable on account of its railroad
timetables and other useful informa-
tion. A copy of the latest issue Of
the Travellers Railway Guide is to be
found in all Pullman sleeping and
parlor cars put there by that company
for the use of its passengers. Hotels
have found il very useful for their
1 guests and clubs for their members.

Robert Crane, of the Crane Ice Cream
Company, said today that ice cream has
been made for the last 100 years in the
East, and that the first wholesale busl-
ness was started in Baltimore by Jacob
RUSSELL in 1851.
"Outside of this country and Canada
the ice cream business Is hardly worth
mentioning" Mr.. Crane said Europe
knows nothing of the wholesale business.
In 1912 Australia had two factories, Bra
I'll one, Mexico two, Porto Rico two and
Cuba one. The Government also oper-
ates one in the canal zone.
"A little more than 10 years ago the
Ice cream business was in it's infancy
and not more than 40,OOO,O 900 gallons were
made. In the last decade the popula-
tion has increased perhaps Fl per cent,
but the sale OF leo cream has increased
nearly 400 per cent. Tho sale of Ice
cream in 1912 was 154, 100000 gallons.
That Ice cream consumption ls
habit is easily shown. We would sup
pose that the South would be the great
ice cream section, as they have more
hot weather there, but such Is not the
case Americans seem to like ice cream
better year by year About one-third
of the total output is eaten in the 13
original States. The Middle West eats
another third, and the rest OF the coun-
try has the remaining third. And Phila-
delphia leads the world"

made the trip to Martinsburg by auto

Father Penn never ate ice cream in
his life and he certainly never heard OF
sundse, yet he founded the great ice
cream eating city in the United States.
Think Of It, even II you have heard 1t
before-Phlladelphia holds the world rec
ord for Ice cream consumption.
On every summers day Phlladelphians
eat, at an averge, 100000 quarts OF ice
cream.
Quito an average, thatl-35O,0OO quarts
day! You young people who eat Ice
cream-for the time being we will not
mention older folks-you are supposed to
be good at arithmetic. or course, you
are. Well, Just imagine $4,000 quarts Of
cream Of the kind you like, packed in
COOL tin quart boxes and all laid side
by each. How far do you suppose Il
would reach7
Three hundreds and fifty thousand quart
boxes Of ice cream, II piled, one on top
OF the other, would reach the dizzy
height of 167,70S feet, a distance s l-5
times higher than Mount Mckinley, the
highest mountain to be found under the
Stars and Stripes. The 167,70S feet
means 31.7 miles, and II the aforesaid
boxes were stretched in a row they
would reach farther than Wilmington,
or II turned right about face, like an
army OF cold Arctic soldiers, they would
extend as far as Trenton.

sweet singers and laughable comedians
with blackened faces also is very much
in evidence here now John Murphy, who
has been conducting the American Min
strels for a score of years on the Steel
Pier, has company there this season.
Emmet Welch is the manager of an
other minstrel company showing on the
Million Dollar Pier A minstrel company
is booked for the Garden Pier and 1t is
rumored that another company will be
included as one of the many attractions
at the New Nixon for the remainder of
the season.
Cafe business is far below normal here,
the public seeming to have tired of
watching paid professional dancers cir
cling around a stage as big as n large
sized door mat, or hearing wheezy-voiced
cabaret singers mangle alleged popular
songs. When the big rush comes here,
these places will be much sought out late
in the evening, but 1t looks as If some
new Ideas will have to be injected into
the form of entertainment, or they Will
languish and die. One enterprising man
is giving regular vaudeville show in his
cafe, with a change of performers every
week. and he Is doing the business of the
island.

When the mercury begins to bob UP
near the 30 mark the amount of Ice cream
eaten jumps, too.
II is estimated that on holidays, such
as the Fourth of July, the average ice
cream consumption In Philadelphia Ia
100000 quarts
Philadelphians evidently do not stint
themselves when II comes to soda water
and other soft drinks. II is estimated
that there are at least 5000 places in this
city where ice cream and soda water are
sold OF these, about 1000 are drug stores
Estimating that 300 drinks are sold in
each place every summers day, II would
appear that 100000 glasses Of soda water
are sold in Philadelphia every day during
the summer
Although some of the smaller stores sell
less than 300 drinks each day, the larger
places, and, In fact, many OF the smaller
drug stores, sell considerably more than
that number. The drug store at Broad
street Station, on hot day, is said to
mako at least 1000 sales from the soda
counter. Many of tho well-patronised drug
stores and confectionery shops sell nearly
1000 drinks daily under favorable weather
conditions.
Nine hundred thousand glasses of soda
water piled end on end would tower
$4,000 feet in the air or IS 2-5 times higher
than Mount Mckinley. They would also
extend farther than Atlantic City and
within a few miles of Cape May

SUMMER SUN SENDS
RECORD CROWD INTO
THE SURF AT SHORE
Atlantic City Hotelmen
Smile as Usual Saluta-
tion, "Is 1t Hot Enough?"
B e gins Going the
Rounds.

ATLANTIC CITY, July 2.--The regular
summer salutation. rs it hot enough for
you?" heard here frequently yesterday.
brought smiles to the faces of the hotel
owners and business men, for at last they
felt they were getting an "even break"
as far as seasonable weather was con-
cerned. Not that 1t was scorching hot
here. for the suns rays were modified by
breezes from the ocean, winds which
churned the sea into foam and made the
breakers half as high as house.
The bathing was thoroughly enjoyed by
the biggest crowd that has been seen
on the beach this season. The roughness
of the sea made the bathing Just right"
The big waves, which came tumbllng in
with lightning-like rapidty, made ones
blood tingle so there was not the least
sign or trembling or "bather's chill"
And bathing spectators had no disquet-
Ing fears for the safety of foolhardy per-
sons seeking to attract attention by going
out a great distance, for even the most
daring swimmers stayed close to shore.
Many visitors, especially those from
inland cities and the West, are content
to spend their days and a part of their
nights just watching the ocean, seeing its
many moods and its constant change OF
colors. In the uptown district these
lovers of the sea have discovered a new
wrinkle. The benches, placed by the
city on the outer edge OF the Board
walk so tired pedestrians may rest, have
always faced the walk. One OF the gaz-
ers at the ocean saw that these benches
afforded an excellent place from which
TO watch the ocean. So he turned II
around and then, with his feet resting
on the outer rail. he could sit for hours
and watch the waves, undlsturbed by the
passing multitudes. His example was
quickly followed by many other persons
and now most of the benches in the up
town section are turned around and are
occupied, during the day and until late
at night, by persons who live to sit and
dream as they watch the vast expanse
of water.
II sanguine promoters are not all wrong
In their predictions, the dance craze,
which has swept this country for the last
two years, will be superseded by roller
skating. That this form OF amusement
has taken a Arm hold here is proven by
the number of rinks In operation now or
to be started In a few days. On the
Million Dollar Pier roller skating has
many devotees. new rink has been
opened in the Exposition Building. the
Garden Pier win add the amusement to
its attractions this week, and the Old
Pier, at Tennessee avenue, is now being
into huge rink.
