HEAT COST MAKES ICE HIGHER.

The high cost of keeping warm
has had a direct effect on the cost
of keeping cool, the Philadelphia
Ledger says. In other words, it was
announced by one of the largest ice
companies in the city that its price
on ice would be jumped ten cents a
hundred pounds to the consumer.
The abnormal price of coal, it is
said, has been one Of the principal
factors responsible for this increase.
Fifty cents a hundred pounds in
stead of 40 cents will be charged by
this company for ice delivered to the
consumer.
1t is quite likely that the price Of
ice will be raised by almost every
company in the city. This is the
personal belief of an ice company
official. we have been struggling
along, barely making ends meet" he
declared. "Our profits have been
eaten up BY coal prices"

MAY Be OF VALUE TO ARMY
Small Motorcycle, Operated at Small
Expense, Expected to Be Adopted
by War Department.

Some interesting experiments
we're made recently by Capt. Frank
+. Evans of the United States Ma
rine corps with a view toward estab-
fishing the practicability of a small
motorcycle recently designed by a
w%ell-known inventor.
A private, equipped in heavy
marching order, tried out the ma
chine, says Popular Science Month
ly. He had had no previous expert
ence with automobiles or motor
cycles, yet his success in operating
it has led to the belief that it would
be a welcome addition to the fight
ing equipment of our soldiers.
The machine will carry as much
as 300 pounds and attain a speed of
rs miles an hour, although its
weight is but so pounds. 1t takes
hills easily. Private Davis, who
tried it out, found no difficulty in
ascending a 14-degree incline.
The machine is so small that it
will turn around corners without
danger. 1t is also so light that it
may be lifted over any ordinary OBJ
Stacle. One of the tests consisted
in riding it up to a four-foot fence,
stopping the engine, and lifting the
machine over the fence, all of which
was done with very little delay.
The dimensions of the little ma
chine are 4S inches by 9 inches by
Is inches. 1t is small enough to be
a p%laything. Yet it will carry 300
pounds for so miles at an operating
expense Of ten cents.
