SODAS RAISED
TO 10 CENTS
Dealers Of City Also Make
Other Advances
STEP Is TAKEN LATE
Mt. Vernon Last City OF Its size To
Increase The Priee--Ice Cream
In Bulk To Cost More
In Future

At a meeting Of the soda fountain
proprietors and the ice cream manu-
facturers Of this city Tuesday, lhe
five-cent soda and sundae we're abol-
ished owing to the high cost of ma
terials in the manufacture of ice
cream. However, there will be the g.
cent dish of plain ice cream. The
new price is ten cents.
Mt. Vernon is the last city in Ohio
of a similar or larger population to
adopt the increased price Of sodas
and sundaes. AS set forth at this
meeting, large number of the in
gradients Of ice cream have increased
in cost. They are: first, the cream;
second, the syrups; and third, the
pure fruits and juices. And not only
are the ingredients increasing In cost,
but, as stated by Chairman Fred Law
Ter. the pals and cans used in the
transportation of the ice cream have
risen in price until it is now impos-
sible for the manufacturers of fee
cream to make any profit on account
of this increased price.
Besides the increased cost of sodas
and sundaes. which formerly sold at
five cents, there will also be an in
crease in the price of ice cream by
the quart That which was 25 cents
per quart will in the future be 95
cents per quart. The different favors
at this price are vanilla, chocolate
and strawberry.
At the meeting held Tuesday. no
organization was effected by the ice
cream manufacturers and soda foun-
tain proprietors. There were about 20
present and all agreed that the
change would not have been made
had it not been necessary to make
some profit in their respective busi-
nesses. Fred Lawler was made chair
man and presided over the meeting.
Before Mt. Vernon increased the
price of sodas and sundaes, many
smaller cities placed the price up to
10 cents, which shows that the new
price for Mt. Vernon people is not a
new thing by any means, as far as
general custom is concerned.
In other cities, the price had been
increased before such an increase
was necessary, but Mt. Vernon did
not place the price at 10 cents until
it was absolutely necessary, thereby
saving the lovers Of ice cream in Mt.
Vernon many nickels.

mt. Vernon Academy Of
Medicine" Launched
Tuesday
DIR. EASTMAN is PRES.
Committee On Rules And Regulations
Named-Fifteen Practitioners
Attend Initial Sesson-To
Meet Once A Month

An institution that has long been
needed in Nit. Vernon was organized
Tuesday afternoon at the Hotel Cur
tbs by sixteen of the local physicians.
The institution is the Mt. Vernon
Academy of Medicine, the purpose OF
which is 10 better the medical profess
sion in Mt. Vernon and the vicinity.
Such an institution has long been in
force in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincin-
natl, Dayton and many other of the
foremost cities of Ohio. In all of
these places the organization has
been of great benefit to those prac-
tising medicine in the respective
cities.
A luncheon was held at the Hotel
Curtis with 16 local physicians in at
tendance. After the luncheon, the
physicians adjourned to a private
room and effected the organization of
the Mt. Vernon Academy of Medicine.
DR.. N. R. Eastman, one of the prom
inent Mt. Vernon physicians, was
elected president for the ensuing
year. DR.. Eastman gave brief ad-
dress concerning the purpose of the
institution and the benefits to be de-
rived from it.
Following the election of president.
a committee was appointed by DR..
Eastman on rules and regulations to
be adopted by the academy. Those
appointed were: DR.. G. K. Conard,
chairman, DR.. l. S. Workman, DIR. F.
L. Singrey, DR.. James F. Lee and
DR.. II. w Blair This committee will
report at the next meeting.
The next meeting will probably be
held in about two weeks to complete
the organization of the institution
Invitations will be sent to Mt. Vernon
physicians to become members. 1t is
probable that all will join in this in,
stitution which is for the betterment
of the medical profession in Mt. Yer
non.
After the next meeting, it is the
desire of the members of the acad
emy to hold a luncheon once every
month and discuss the current prob
lens of medicine.
The meeting Tuesday afternoon
lasted for several hours and will in
all probability meet with the approx
al Of all practicing physicians in Mt
Vernon.

WIN A REAL TRIUMPH
Women Adopt Masculine Attire When
They Tackle Mems Work
philadelphia Press)

The Encyclopedia Britannica" de-
fines trousers as the name given to
the article Of dress worn by men, COW
ering each leg separately and reach
ing from the waist to the foot. Brit
ish observers are inclined to think
that this is one of the many incidental
articles in that great work of refer
ence which will require modification
after the war. So many British women
are wearing trousers that the phrase
worn by men" will have TO be deleted.
1t is true that the same definition
would cover the harem skirt.
But the British women when they
left their household duties and more
or less genteel jobs to enter the muni-
tion factories and mines were not con-
tent with a modification of the gar
ment which measurably shackled their
limbs. They cast it off altogether and
adopted an article OF dress hitherto
limited to men by convention and US
age, covering each leg separately so
that their muscles could be brought
into vigorous play to efficiently do jobs
which were never before done by wo-
men.
The Encyclopedia furnishes the addi-
tional information that the word
trousers is derived from French
word which means bundle up. tuck
tie-up." This is what the women of
England would have been compelled
to do if they had not courageously
broken with custom and adapted their
dress to the work which they are per-
forming. Conservative English opin-
ion not only has refrained from max
ing the usual banal outcries of 'un-
sexing" and immortality" which usu-
ally accompany radical changes in wo-
mems clothes, but it has gone so far
as to encourage the wearing of trous-
ers by women workers in various
trades where skirts would materially
hamper the wearers.
AS more women enter industry fol-
lowing the increases recruiting OF men
for the battlefelds the wearing of
trousers by them becomes a common
sight. Women in overalls work at the
lathe, and in the powder sheds, in fash
ioning timber, metal and leather Wo-
men themselves, as far as can be
learned, do not dislike the change
which they are making for the sake of
convenience. 1t is altogether a strange
spectacle of SNUG, respectable, tradi-
tion-bound England to contemplate.
! But it is only one of the many things
in which the war is renovating the
/ English mind and new modelling En-
glish life.
The change to trousers cnly affects a
small part of the population and one
which does not set the fashion in dress
so that it is hardly likely that sever
al generations ahead of us may see
women generally wearing apparel sim
liar to that of men,. Fundamental
changes in fashions are rare. But as
workshop expedient the value oi
trousers for women workers is not
likely to suffer much following peace
and a return to normal conditions
Most of these women probably will
continue at some form of factory la
Dor. They have proved the value OF
trousers too we'll to discard them when
Tommy Atkins come marching home
and most of that ilk shed the uniform

Took 20 Rings

Gilbert Hafer, by his attorney,
Charles Follett, pleaded guilty to the
crime of grand larceny Tuesday
morning, says the Newark American
Tribune.
The crime was related by Prosecut.
or Flory on the evidence taken be-
fore the grand jury. The crime for
which Hafer was held was the taking
of 70-odd plated rings from the Macy
stock of goods. Hafer has been in
trouble several times before. Some
years ago, while being pursued by
the Baltimore &c Ohio police, he
jumped in Raccoon creek, at the time
out of bank in a flood
He drifted down to the middle pier
of the Panhandle bridge where he
drew a crowd of thousands and the
entire city police force then on duty.
While both ends of the bridge was
watched by the police he crept up
the face of the pier, along in the su-
perstructure of the bridge, and out
between the two guardians of the
peace, and made his escape by run
ming. Later, he was captured and
went to Lancaster.
Mr.. Follett made strong talk for
him. He related that the mother of
the boy had two other children whom
she had reared with difficulty, as she
had gotten little or no help from the
father. He asked the court to give
him another chance, saying that he
was offered a good job in the railway
yards in Columbus, and he really felt
that he would make good. Hafer
himself made a stout plea for elem
ency.
Judge Fulton reminded the man,

SERVED 8 TERMS IN
OHIO PENITENTIARY
Arrested Tuesday At Bangs;
Charged With Taking
$56 In Money

BY a fortunate combination of cir
cumstances, Sheriff w. B. Mosshold-
er was able to place under arrest
Tuesday afternoon at Bangs a man
who is thought to have embezzled the
sum of $56 from the Pitkin grocery
during the holidays but who denies
that he is the individual wanted.
r. w. Pitkin, proprietor of the
store, has positively identified the
prisoner as one Louis Ballinger
whom he employed during the holi-
day rush as driver for one of his
delivery wagons and whose accounts,
it was discovered later, were over
$50 short.
Ballinger, if such he be, when con-
frouted with his accuser maintained
a very bold front, protesting that he
had never seen Pitkin before, let
alone worked for him.
At 4:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
Sheriff Mossholder received a tele-
phone call from Bangs which stated
that two men had driven up to the
station in a buggy with young, yel-
low-haired girl whom they attempted
to give away. Their actions were de-
cidedly suspicious.
Accompanied by Juvenile Officer
Purcell, the sheriff hurried to Bangs.
He found that one of the men had
driven away with the little girl, while
the other remained at the station,
evidently for the purpose of taking
the evening train.
"I want you," said the sheriff to
"Ballinger."
"You think you know something,
but you're mistaken" was the answer
he got. 81 was never through Mt.
Vernon until today. l hired a man to
drive me over here and paid him
dollar for 1t"
"You took $50 from Pitkin, the gro
cer," the sheriff continued.
Il never saw Pitkin," the stranger
replied.
He told the sheriff that he had
come from Syracuse, N. Y. His
suitcase had written on it in pencil,
&c. N. Ballinger, Syracuse, N. Y" He
produced papers signed by Warden
Preston e. Thomas Of the Ohio state
penitentiary, showing that he had
been discharged from that institution
on Dec. %, 1916; that he was third
termer, his last offense-that of for
gery-having been committed in
Wayne county, whence, in May, 1914,
he was sent to the penitentiary. The
papers showed his name to be Louis
Ballinger."
His suitcase was opened at the
jail and contained several pictures of
himself, as we'll as other penitentiary
convicts, as all were labeled No. -.
Several letters, presumably from 9TH
er convicts, were also contained in
the suitcase which was of good leath-
er and which held some clothes, tidy
and clean in appearance.
1t is said that Ballinger has been
living with Simon Starner in South
Vernon, who is said to be his uncle
Ballinger denies that he knows the
man, although it was this Starner II
is thought, who drove him to Bangs.
"Ballinger" is "a years of age
wears glasses, has slight limp and
looks like an intelligent man. He Is
said to have come from Loudonville
originally, living later in Barbertor
and then in Wayne county.
"Ballinger" was arraigned Wednes
day morning before Mayor Mitchell
He pleaded not guilty and his hearinl
was set for Feb. IA. He was commit
ted to jail.
Police officials are inclined to the
belief that the mans name is Starner
rather than Ballinger.
