back to the ice cream department we
came through the garage, empty for
the time being. but at night. with the
fifteen electric trucks ION charge and
the seven gas cars calling for their
share of attention. the place is busy
and crowded, indeed.
Now, said my guide. you have seen
the home of 1.-The Velvet Kind Pref
ty thoroughly equipped and furnished, is
it not? Yet, you may have noticed that
We are quite badly crowded at that
1t is only question of short time
before we will have to build new FAC

US, and the next time we build. we hope
to build big enough and substantial
enough for many years to come. It's
expensive business building or rebuilding
every f"w years.
1t might interest you to know that We
manufacture $1,000 tons 100000 ten-cent
pieces of ice) each year. and, by the way,
that ice is made from water taken d.
rectly from the city mains With one eX-
ception. we are the largest individual
consumers of water in the city. The ice
cream department alone has a daily con-
sumption of 10000 to 5000 gallons of cold
water and 5000 to 10000 gallons of hot
water, more than the average family
will use in three months. and that, just
to keep our place clean and sanitary.
We supply practically all of the hospi-
tails in the city with ice cream: nearly
all the cooperative lunch rooms con-
Quoted in the different government de-
partncnts buy ice cream from us and
most of the lunch rooms and drug
stores where ice cream is sold handle our
product. Our select family trade keeps
four or five special delivery trucks busy
most of the time.
Why is it that The Velvet Kind has
acquired such popularity? I asked. Be
cause it is worthy of it and is only COM
ing into its own, he replied. For years
We have been making ice cream accord
ing to the best methods known. We are
able to do this by controlling our own
supply of cream from the time it leaves
the farmer until the ice cream reaches
the consumer We have eight other
plants in five different States operating
in a similar manner to this one here

SHARKS FASTER THAN ENGINE.
Fish Hnuls Men In Boat for Ninety
Minutes.

New York.-Peter Bresse. James Purcell
and William O'Neill decided to catch one
of the sharks whose fins for a week have
been cutting the waters Of Raritan Bay.
They trolled from a motor-boat. There
was an abrupt jerk to the line in short
order and then a pull that sent the cord
burning through their hands. They sent
their boat about, cut out the engine and
fixed the line to a cleat near the bow.
Away off they caught sight of the
shark making for the high sea. The
boat followed. speeding through the wat
er with more power and at faster clip
than the engine had ever driven it. They
ran for half a mile with the big fish do
ing the pulling. Then the line slackened
for moment. but again they were pull
ed away on another course.
For an hour and a half the boat was
dragged up and down the bay and across
and back until finally, almost dead from
exhaustion. the shark gave up the bat
tie and they towed it to the beach, where
1t died.

equivalent Of the entire lumber cut OF
the country, in addition to not less than
TO- coo 900 cords of firewood.
These figures, continues the article,
probably never will be realized, for the
reason that the present area Of farm
woodlands is much greater than 1t will
be eventually. For example, woodland
comprises 81 per cent of the entire farm
area of the South. and undoubtedly much
of this land will be put to other uses
than timber growing. Nevertheless, the
farmers of the United States now own
at least 80, goo. 900 eco feet of saw timber
and csc and one-third billion cords of
cordwood. and this timber should pro-
duce a substantial part of their incomes.
Farmers ought to make the most of their
timber. and the public should be Inter-
ested in this question for the reason that
the vast aggregate of farm timber should
be available to supplement the other
sources of the general supply.

Il was walking along a sunken road,
when rounding a curve 1 saw n bent
figure slowly moving forward. I hur-
ried up and found it was a girl of about
e3 carrying on her shoulder young Eng
lish infantryman. He had been shot in
the shoulder. and after a preliminary
dressing of the wound had been told to
go TO the nearest field hospital. But he
lost his way and wandered on until he
collapsed and tainted from loss of blood
and fatigue.
THE young woman, an English nurse,
found him, and as it was half an hours
walk TO the nearest field hospital de-
cided to carry him there"
She accepted my assistance. and using
my overcoat as a stretcher, We carried
the man to the hospital.

all other hats. 1t is more snowy than
Mambrino's helmet, made famous by
Don QuiXote. Writings hat is made of
tin. common sheet tin, the same kind OF
tin that baked beans and Sardines and
tomatoes are put in.
1t is built on 1915 model, and no fash

thing over on him in the matter of
style. 1t is neat, but not gaudy. a tin

attention when Whiting wears 1t on the
