Wants Arrest of Dealers
Charging More Than
Prescribed Prices
All Must Be Licensed
Public Requested to Notify
Him of Cases of Over
charging

Benjamin B. Odell, State Ice Admin
istrator, yesterday asked the Police
Department to help in the fight against
the ice profteers, who are charging
private consumers more than 80 cents
a hundred pounds. the price last year.
He issued an order requiring all ice
wagons to bear license tags and all eel
lar men to display licenses in their
places of business.
What Mr. Odell wants the police to
do is to see that all ice dealers dis
play licenses from the ice administra-
tion and to bring him dealers operat-
ing without licenses. He also wants
them to arrest all licensed dealers
found selling ice at residences at more
than the fixed price of so cents hun
dred pounds.
Penalties Are Heavy
A years Imprisonment and $1,000
fine is the penalty for selling ice with
out license or for selling at more
than the prices fixed by the admins
tration.
Mr.. Odell ordered the license tags
displayed to make it easier for citi-
zens to report violators All Mr.. Odell
needs is the license number of a prof
iteer.
A food of complaints was received
by the ice administration following Mr..
Odell's request in The Tribune yester-
day that citizens report profiteers.
These violators were dealers who had
not taken out licenses.
While the price at residences is the
same as last year, the cost to other
consumers has been increased. Mr..
Odell has fixed the price for producers
at the dock at $4.40 a ton. This is so
per cent more than many dealers paid
last year. but they are allowed to
charge more to wholesale consumers
and Office buildings.
35 cents hundred this summer. Last
year they paid from 20 to 25 cents, ac-
cording to their contracts. Other
wholesale consumers, such as hotels,
markets, etc, must pay 40 cents, an
increase in some cases Of nearly 100
per cent The Ice Administrator has
decreed that cellar men must pay 80
little as 20 cents. The price for side
walk deliveries at office buildings is |
the highest, 60 cents, with a 12-cent
allowance to janitors distributing the
ice.
Many Objections Received
Many objections against these prices
have been received by the administra-
tion. Wholesale consumers have pro-
tested against the increase to them.
A large number of cellar men have
insisted that inasmuch as they have to
pay. more for ice this summer they
ought to be permitted to charge pri-
vate consumers more than last year
Looking at the matter from purely
business viewpoint, they should be per-
mitted to charge residence consumers
more" said Mr.. Odell. "But the ice
administration is being conducted as
war measure. I am determined that
the common people shall not bear the
burden of war time ice prices. The
price to residences must remain the
same as last summer.
Most distributors and Wholesale
consumers have accepted the situation
in most patriotic spirit"

The Lamberts were delighted with the invitation, as they were expect ing lonely day, far away from Merle England
 One day, when Judith came in from shopping, Anne met her with the news:
 "A nephew, John Leigh, has surpris- ed the Lamberts. He has seen service in France, and is sent here by the British government on mission to Washington. He has a weeks vaea- tion and has come tp spend it with them. I insisted that he come to our Christmas dinner. and they are all going to call tonight"
 How interesting" exclaimed Ju- dith. Perhaps he can advise me about my Red Cross work"
 Everyone was delighted to meet the handsome young soldier and eager to hear stories of lover there" from one who knew. John became q great help to Judith with her plans for the ehll- dren's Christmas and her Red Cross work. In fact. he thought of so many things that he came to the hidgely's at least once day and every evening He trimmed the tree while Judith made the simple things to adorn it.
 One evening Mrs. Midgely remarked to her husband: "I never saw young man so interested in children"
 He looked up from his paper in amused surprise. My dear. do you really think he is interested only in the children?"
 "John, you don't mean Jsdjth?'
 Certainty. It has been evfdeRt from the first"
 Christmas arrived-a glorious day, with snow on the ground Fhe chill dren had hung up their stockings. Into the bottom of each had been placed the bright new cap and mfttens, and gay bag of candy on top, white the other gifts were grouped about the tree. z After the successful dinner was eaten they spent the evening in sing- ing carols. John had good tenor voice and Judith accompanied him on the piano. Then he sang military songs he had learned in the trenches.
 The guests took their departure. vowing it the happiest Christmas of all. Mrs. Midgely turned to her sister.
 "Only think. Judith, was afraid you would have a dull time. The ebil- dren have missed nothing, and you have been an angel of mereyr'
 Happiness has nothing to do with the possession of things" smiled Ju- dith; ''it is all state of mind. And John and I will have something to tell you tomorrow, when he leaves for the front"
The Carlisle independent., 1918-12-19

Anne, dear, we must take an il- ventory of stock and see what we can make for the kidlets for Christmas"
 There is nothing" said Anne.
 "We'll find somethingr determined ly answered Judith.
 You can make things out of com paratively nothing" laughed Anne, but you can't make them out of abso- lutely nothing
 "Yes, We can! I'll send for my yarns and knit cap and mttens for each child. They are using bright col OTIS and combinations of colors. In that way we can use your leftover yarns, too. We'll have plenty without buying any more, and I knit rapidly. I've done lots of this work for the Red Cross"
 She made looms with empty spools and pins, from which each child helped to make round string which they worked on at odd moments. They were to be sewed on the mittens No more Bunting for the "other mitten." The children were entertained with the idea of being useful and of helping Aunt Judith.
 The sisters looked up discarded dolls and sewed up legs and arms painted the faces and restored the hair. En- tire outfits of clothes that could be taken off and put on were made from bits of cloth found in the scrap bag, and they crocheted lace enough for the trimming. These were for the two lit tie girls, Martha and Peggy, aged sew en and nine.
 How to make eleven-year-oId Ralph happy with left-oyers was the problem. Then Judith remembered that years ago she had been the recipient of a stamp book which she had not used. She wrote her father for it, and then invested in some mixed stamps for Ralph to make a beginning with. A few new puzzles and toys from the ten-cent store made a goodly array of bright things for Tommy, who was the youngest child.
 Now for the dinner" said Judith. Let's not try to have the usual Christ mas dinner, but think up something different"
 'I did so want to ask Mir. and Mrs. Lambert" sighed Anne. "They came from England several years ago, and are so alone at Christmas time. I had hoped to have them. but of course I cannot do it this year."
 ''That gives me the very idea, Anne. We'll invite them and surprise them with a regular English dinner-roast beef.. Yorkshire pudding and gravy. and have roly-poly pudding for des- sert."
 The days flew by with the sisters as busy as bees. Anne was never happier in all her life. She had not time for repining, and found that by simply making the best of everything she had no real troubles at all. Henry, too. caught the spirit of hope, and remark ed to his wife:
 Tt won't be long until we have made up for lost time, and I like my new position better than the old one, be- cause 1t has more of future to it."

T shall have to tell Judith" she said to her husband that night, when they were seated by the lamp and the chil. kdren were in bed. "how sorry we are that We cannot make her visit pleas ant one.'' ''it is too bad," said he Judith is such slave to your father, looking after his every whim and never think. ing of herself. I wish she had home of her own. I always planned to give her really good time whenever she should make that long-deferred visit ,
 Judith arrived, her face shining with happiness.
 "As last I am herei Are you quite well, Anne?"
 'Oh, yes, dear" Mrs. Midgely's voice had strange note in 1t. Judith looked up quickly.
 You don't look we'll, Anne. What is the matter?'
 Poor Anne let the floolgates of her tears open and told Judith her trou bles.
 "It's only that we don't want you to have stupid time, Judith"
 "Never mind about me-" answered Judith. T am wildly happy just to be here with you all. But I am glad you told me"
 The children were delighted to have their aunt with them. They had often visited the pleasant old white house that had been their mothers home, and it was happy party that surrounded the dinner table that night. Mrs Midgely, too, almost forgot to be wor- ried as she smiled at her sisters high spirits.
 Next morning after Judith had kissed the four children as they left for school, she turned to her sister and said:

 And then the climax. The great body of ice and snow went laundering down the hill with terrific momentum. It cleared the open gateway, ran 20 feet and, just as the denizen of the hut half-opened the door. it was torn from its hinges by the impact of the great projectile which broke into frag- ments and the old man was thrown back amid its ruins, the shattered door striking him with stunning force.

As he pulled it out his eyes discovered that it comprised a lot of documents bearing impressive seals and signatures. His eye caught an engraved name: "Ame Shelter CoN- pany."

Typhoid Cases Are
 Not Numerous Now

The number of cases of typhoid fever which has ben noted in the city and which was credited to the condi- tion of the bathing beaches adjacent to Bridgeport, are not unusual at this time of year, according to the Board of Health reports
 Dr. Walter H. Brown stated this morning: We have not an unusually large number of typhoid cases this year. While we have made an analy- sis of the waters of the different beaches and found them polluted, we can not say that they are any worse than they have been at any other time, as in former years no analysis was made. The conditions caused by the sewers might be the cause of many cases of typhoid and the Health Department has made an investigation into conditions and will make recom- mendations for the removal of the cause. However, the report that special unsanitary condition exist this year does not come from this depart ment
