ICE FAMINE IN ATLANTA

With the thermometer registering close to 100, Atlanta during the past week round herself almost without ice The most severe ice famine in the history of the city has been in force for the past lew days. In order 10 meet the situa ton as well as possible, and to conserve Ice Tor military purposes, the state food admln1stratlcn issued a drastic order cut ting the supply to householders 50 per cent. No soft drinks have been sold in Atlanta since last Thursday. Soft drink places have been absolutely without ice, having been banned by the food admin istratfon order. Milk drinks and ice cream have. mot yet been prohibited, but it is expected that they will come under the axe the early part of this week unless something can be done to relieve the ice famine. No cracked ice is al lowed to be served in ice water or tea or other beverage.
 The situation so far has been confined almost exclusively to Atlanta It is other parts of the state The production of ice in this city has been short all this summer, due to the fact that one or two of the ice plants have not been in operation, These plants are so badly in need of repairs as to make it im- possible for them to operate and the shortage of labor has. been responsible ioi ellC AettiulS to lHdht LHe necessary improvements. Other plants are only op- erating on 50 per cent basis. Another condition responsible for the crucial situ- ation in Atlanta is the fact that this city is the "re-icingp point for practi- cally all shipments of meats fruits and perishable goods leaving and coming into the state. Also the location of three army camps here-Camp Gordon, Camp Jesup and Fort McPherson-has increased the demand in this city a large per cent. AGERORGIA SALONS ADJOURN

SOCIAL EVENTS BEFORE LENT
 WILL BE FEW

A number of small events marked the social calendar of the past week and with the exception of a dance or two planned for the coming fortnight, there will be few affairs of note to record. This does not mean that society is not enjoying itself, it merely signifies that formal functions are few and far be- tween and that the pleasure lover is finding diversion in simple events more in keeping with the times. Lent, it is said, will be more strictly observed than ever ths year so that with the eX ception of small luncheOns, dinners and knitting teas with an occasional bridge there will be few events to register.
