We are told that that delicious
dish known as ice cream will soon
be known no more, that this super
ior compound is to pass away at
least until after the war. And
along with this comes the announce
ment that too much ice cream was
not good for us anyhow We don't
know. We can't say, We don't
remember ever having heard of any
one who had 700 much ice cream,
and in our experience in writing
obituaries we have never as yet
come across case where death was
caused by too much ice cream. So
far as we know no tombstone bears
the inscription "He'died from eating
ice cream" Should there be such
cases no doubt his last hours were
hours of peace and contentment.
Just why there should have been
any question as to putting the ball
players out of the work or fight"
order until after the season is incom
prehensible TO the patriotic Ameri.
can. There is no logical reason why
the big baseball leagues should not
discontinue for the duration of the
war; Baseball is our national
eame-the eame,we all love-and,
being national game, and a mans
game at that, it's soul should be pa.
triotically clean. Baseball will
never claim exemption for itself and
the arm that throws a ball with a
curve that brings down the cheers
OF the crowd should be, the arm to
hurl the bomb and bring forth the
cheers of the nation

WINE APPROPRIATIONS
SAID TO BE BANNED
Halted by Bone Dry Rider,
Dealers Here Believe.

4 belief among wine importers that
no more wine car lie brought into
this country, except such as was ac-
tually shipped on the day the Prcsl-
lent signed the food stimulation bill,
containing the bone dry rider, has
caused some CONSERVATION among
their trade. They have been of the
opinion up to a few days ago that
they could import wine until the rider
becomes effective as n bone dry meas
IRE on July /, 1919. but word reached
them that the signing Of the bill eff
~fectually stopped shipment.
At the Custom House II was said
yesterday that no order had been re-
Ceived from Washington as, to how
the bill will affect importation. and
until suolI an order arrives no one
there wished to comment on the posi-
bility that wine importation will have
to halt at once.
Henri Moquin, a large importer, said
his Interpretation of the bill was that
no wine except such as was shipped
before the bill was signed can be
brought in, and as sufficient time for
al shipments to arrive has elapsed
since that day, he does o think any
more wine Will come into the country.
A clause permitting shipment up un-
til the latter part Of May had been
struck out of the bill before It went
to the President, he said.

NEW PLANE SHOWS
SPEED OF $50 MILES
Dr.. ChrisfmaSs Machine
Tested at Hempstead Plains.

A new airplane, the invention OF
DR.. William w. Christmas of Wash
ington, d. c.. was tried out in the
Park on, the east end OF Hampstead
Plains yesterday and those who saw
the test say that IL developed a speed
of $50 miles an hour. The flight. 1t was
said. was witnessed by several naval
officers who marvelled at the, per-
Torrance.
DR.. Christmas has been known as
aeronautic expert since the early
days of flying. Three years ago he got
a contract to build for the Allies at
Springfield. Mass, eleven airplanes,
and heavier than ever known
hefo.e. The type of machine at that
time was designed by DIR. Christmas
in 1911 for a proposed mall air route
between Washington and this city. It
had n wing spread of $50 feet and
104 feet from propellers to rudder.
1t was announced at the time the con-
tracts were made that the machine
would have a carrying capacity OF
fifteen tor OF explosives besides a
crew of six to twelve men, and would
be fitted with twin Deusenberg en-
gines OF 800 horsepower. each capable
OF driving the machine through the
air at eighty-flye miles an hour with
a full load.
DIR. Christmas's proposal to run n
Washington-New York mail air route
fell through in 1912 because of lack
of financial backing.
