Saving Ice.
For the first time probably In a
quarter of a century no soft drinks
were TO be purchased ON a summer
day In Nashville when on last sun.
day the food administration regula.
ton TO conserve Ice went into effect.
Ice cream could be served only at one
meal by some regular eating place IL
Is not improbable that this rule will
be extended to other parts Of the state,
especially il the Ice situation at other
places gets to be critical as il has
been in Nashville. In Nashville pub
lie eating places and soft drink stands
are forbidden To serve ice in glasses
on any day of the week.
The ice shortage has been due 70

per cent. without any increase IN the
capacity Of the lie plants Govern
