ICE CREAM BILL OF
U. 5. $291,648,OOO
Spends That Amount Annually
for DeIicacy-Each Person
Uses SO Worth.

The people of the United States
spent 1921 ,e4s,O00 for ice cream in
1916, according to the editor of the
International Confectioner.
Figuring the population Of the
United States at 100000. 900. the per
capita expenditure for the national
delicacy was almost So in the twelve
months.
The total quantity of ice cream con-
sumed was 20s, 800, 900 gallons, or q
little more than two gallons for each
man, woman and child. Two-thirds
of all the ice cream eaten in this
country is consumed in the territory
east of Illinois and north of the Ma
son and Dixon line, according to the
editor. Washington is, therefore, in
the ice cream belt. g..
The International Confectioner
quotes figures to show that although
a gain of 16 per cent was shown In
the consumption of Ice cream in 1915,
the year was q bad one for manufac-
turers and retailers, because Of the
high prices of raw materials. The
publication sounds q warning that ice
cream probably viii be scarce this
year, as sit will be only by good
luck that the manufacturer can get
necessary supplies and when he gets
them he will find them 30 per cent
higher than they were in 1915"

Organization, After Four
Days Preparation, Cow
cred 1000 Cities
Praised by McAdoo
Officials Declare Work Of
Lads Gave Several Dis
tricts Their Quotas
By George D. Pratt

Treasurer National Council. Boy Scouts o; America
If any one asked you to raise $1,000
600 In four days solely through the
efforts Of boys between the ages OF
twelve and seventeen years, what
would your answer be? Probably that
at can't be done And If you we're
asked to make it s1O,0O0,000 in the
same time and by the same means,
would you be able to make any answer
at all? Yet more than S17,000000 has
been raised by boys under these same
difficult conditions.
The Boy Scouts of America did it.
Not that they are essentially different
from other boys, but that they are
young Americans working under q pa
triotic impulse and having the advan-
tage of the training Of great organi-
cation that schools them in the real
things of life and in their proper atti-
tude toward all other human beings.
The Boy Scouts collected applications
for the Liberty Loan Bond in more
than 1000 cities and towns and from
1874, 1865 different persons and for a sum
that has now reached s17,s65,350, and
when all the returns are in from far
away points the total may reach $780,
100000 1-1OO per cent Of the entire
sum called fer by the government.
The Boy Scouts Of America is the
most mobile organization in the world.
Push a button at national headquarters
and things happen in Honolulu and
results accrue from the sparsely set
tied plains Of Arizona, the crowded
East Side of New York, the residential
sections Of Newport and from the bust
ness districts Of Chicago and San Fran
cisco.

II is always amusing to notice how aen the antsufra
gist if taken his guard conesses to contempt for the
work of women in the home. THE New York Times" in
editorial on the entitled DO Nothngs Deeply En-
barrased" SAYS that idle do something useful
in case of need which enables most to make the
census blanks an appearance humiang The IS
not quite the same with the OF there always
were many and nowadays there great multudes OF
women by whom question occupation and capacity can
be faced as calmly by any man. But on to say that
ito be wife not occupation and as for the UNI
married she cannot say that her occupation consists
of waiting married and there when nothing
else can be said and the troubled subject of investigation dis
covers besides her inability her nquSve govern
ment that in time she give any real service of
any sort.
No real service of any sort. SO that is what The Times
really thinks OF woman in the home.

Whole Race Is Stirred

Whole Race Is Stirred
The revolt engineered by the Sheriff
Of Mecca and his sons, who had re-
ccived European education, had an
electrifying effect on the rest Of the
Arabian race. Mecca. where hundreds
of thousands Of pilgrims come yearly,
is of immense interest 70 every Mos
lem. The liberation of the entire
province Of Hejaz from the Ottoman
yoke, accomplished easily, aroused IN
tho Arabs a fiery desire for brother
hood and unity. The various imams,
chieftains and lords of Arabia hocked
to Heiaz 70 offer the Sheriff their sup
port against the Turks The Sheriff
was proclaimed King of Hejaz by the
people Of his province, and is at pres
cnt in alliance with the other Arabian
rulers.
One of the first acts Of the new
Arabian Kingdom was to establish
diplomatic communications with the
civilized countries Of the world. France
sent a delegation to Mecca to con-
cratulate the Sheriff on the liberation
Of his country. England and Russia
also acknowledged the new govern
ment. For some time past 1t has been
endcavoring 20 establish communica-
tions with the government Of the

Wilson's Hopes Fulfilled

It was a task that has not been at
tempted before, and the successful re-
suit Of this work Of piling up millions
for Uncle Sans Treasury must have
to some extent been prophesied in the
minds OF President wilson and Secre-
tary McAdoo when they requested the
Boy Scouts to carry the governments
appeal for war money directly into the
homes Of America President Wilson
had said: This will give every Scout
a wonderful opportunity to DO his
share for his country under the slogan
Every Scout to Save a Soldier | feel
sure that this request will find a
unanimous and enthusiastic response
from Boy Scouts everywhere" 1t did.
Each Boy Scout saved his soldier and
a little more. for there are 238,0OO Boy
Scouts, and the applications are for
more than one and a half $50 bonds
for each boy.

The present war, originated and
started in Central Europe, is resulting
in the regeneration Of the Arabian race.
As fascinating as the realization of the
2,000-year-old Jewish longing for Pal
estine is, as eleyating and lofty as the
restoration of assassinated Poland ap-
pears, the renaissance of the Arab and
his reintroduction into the midst Of
civilized humanity Is equally stirring
and significant.
II the great war Is a struggle FOR the
liberation Of subjugated peoples and
races, then the Arabs have more yea
son than other vassal nationalities 10
feel grateful TO the big world upheaval.
The Poles, conquered by three nations,
have yet preserved their national cult
ure. The Jews, scattered all over the
world, progressed with the rest OF hu-
manity IN civilization, developing their
peculiar national genius. The Arme-
mans, thanks TO their Christianity,
have managed TO keep burning the fires
OF civilization even under the yoke OF
the Turk and the Kurd. But the ma
tional genius of the Arab was atrophied
by the Ottoman rulers.

Fought TO Aid Christians

Obviously the outside world had no
idea Of the underlying currents in Ara
bian opinion. Then suddenly in 1916
came the news Of a revolution in He
iaz. II was n short, effective and sue
cossful revolution. But the most re-
markable fact about it was its chief
cause. namely, Turkeys persecu-
tions in Syria, Christian Syria!
Never before has anything like 1t hap
nened. The Sheriff Of Mecca, Mos
Iem leader. raised the banner OF revolt
hocarss the Ottoman governor IN syria

10. Of the Young Turkish government
calling attention to the fact tnat IN
cvria il "caused to be hanged twenty
one eminent and cultured Moslems and
Arabs Of distinction" OF the ARABS
Of distinction the majority were
Christian Syrians.
Irrefutable further proof Of the ma
tional sentiment manifesting itself IN
Arabia is found in this passage Of V
Sherif's manifesto:
Eve are determined not 70 leave OUT
religious and national rights as a play
thing in the hands of the Union and
Progress party. God has vouchsafed
