Ice Cream Sohc':; Inv 'ntOr.
(NCW York Sun ]


 While history does not make sure that Dolly Madison made ice cream popular in the United States, it is generally assumed that the odd child of that deliCacy, ice cream soda, was invented fifty years ago by Joseph R. Rover, who died the other day in Lam caster, Pa, at the age of S5 It is the ion, We believe, that he brought about the union of frozen Cream--yes it was made of cream in the '60s- and carbonated water for the pleas ure of child who liked both soda water and ice cream so well that she could not decide which she would have first. MT. Rover, a confectioner showed her that she could have both together.
 We do not know whether Mr. Roy CT was an addict of his own concoc- ton or not. If he was, his ripe years were d >ribute to the food properties of the com bined product of fountain and freezer. But we have noticed that pop manufacturers drink beer and brewers sip--or slipped before July 1-champagne. It's selfish to be your own customer, as the hang man remarked. Yet we think a per son could use ice cream soda. in judi cious quantities up to s5 without in-

When a business I, conducted eff ficiently and renders a necessary serV- ice at an extremely low cost, it de- serves to be rated as of public bene- fit. Careful consideration should be gwen to any proposals that will dis rupt this service.
 The Herald "hits the nail on the head when it states: "The essential thing to be settled is whether the packers are getting greater returns than their investment warrants from supplies that they handle"
 The U. S. Food Administration re- gently issued report covering it's supervision of the profits of the five large packers under control for the tical year ended November ?, 1918, which reads as follows:

jury. The mixture cannot safely be taken before meals, as cocktails were in that period which to some folks is cons past, yet is only 45 days ago by the cold faced calendar. 1t is the greatest appetite killer, next to choc- oate drops, ever devised
 Not until the Internal Revenue Bu- reau issues Bulletin 41144XYZ, en- titled statement of the Excise Taxes Derived Prom the Sale of Ice Cream Soda Water During July, 1919," shall We know just how much of MT. Roy CTS invention this broad and fevered country is HOW absorbing. As every child knows, there is a tax of one or two cents on a glass, the late demo- cratic congress having decided that an infant in possession of six or eleven cents was in the same class with the prospective buyer of a motor car or a six dollar shirt. While the Internal Revenue people arc at it, they ought to compel the owners of fountains to make d statement of the various pro- portions of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavors consumed and a graphic ch3rt showing how far the ice cream soda spoons of the United States would stretch if placed end to end. Let us be as scientific as Colonel Houses professors.
 What is the secret of ice cream soda's success? Probably 1t is tsC-. the ice cream makes the soda colder and more palatable, whiic the soda water makes the ice cream last iong- CT. You eat and drink and, even if you are not merry, there is the long spoon--long enough for supping with the davil--to twirl. Industrially, ice cream soda helps the glass trade, the Connecticut metal factories and the condensed milk business. It also en- ables the struggling young druggist to lay in supplies of ginger and pepsin.

COMMUNICATED.
An Explanation of Profits From Swift and Co. Packers.
 August II, 1919.

Editor "T1erald'.
 New Britain, Conn.,, Dear Sir:
 An editorial entitled "Profiteering in I'ood' appeared in the July 12, 1919 issue of the Herald and refers to the report of the Federal Trade Com mission
 The first point dwelt on is that the packers threaten monopoly and that the food supplies of the nation bid fair to fall into the hands of small group of men.
 The Federal Trade Commission claims that the five large packers act in cOlluson in restraint of trade but has produced no proof in substantial ton of their assertions.
 Swift & Company declares that it is in active competition with each of the larger packer and hundreds of smaller packers throughout the coun- try. The most convincing evidence of keen competition should be the narrow margin of profit on which the packers operate.

FINDING THE HOARDS.

rIP1e food misers, whoever they are. must have received severe jolt yesterday when it was announced that Federal agents had located and seize l millions of eggs and hundreds of thousands of pounds of sugar in three different cities, all of them in the South. In addition to this, one dealer, of Binghamton, N. Y, vas found guilty of selling sugar at fifteen cents a pound and was as sessed five hundred dollars for his profiteering venture. Six Grand Jury indictments have been returned against merchants of Toledo, Ohio, alleging conspiracy to control trade and prevent competition This is d pretty fair record for one day, we are sure.
 However, the big supplies are still to be found. There is probably many times as much food held in storage as has been seized. Let the good work go on. The Department of Justice is allowing no grass to grow under it's feet in the fight to reduce the cost of living, and the people will greet every successful raid with the greatest acclaim.
 It will take but few weeks to feel the effect of the seizure of any large

Gambling on a Margin.

(New Haven Journal Courier)
 The New York Sun commented last week upon what the falling market did to a large class of people with small means who had undertaken to get rich by investing in the market on margin. Many of them did not understand. Some had-a thousand dollars, some had double thousand dollars. They had read of trading on margin. Many of them did not under stand it's details, but all of them felt that it offered a broad path to wealth without work. They had read of it in books, in magazines, in the news papers. They had heard of shoe strings run into tanyards, of coppers transmitted into gold by alchemy of Wall Street buying what you could not pay for" The story from that point runs on in the old way. The market turned Paper profits were marked off and in the absence of more margin the get rich crowd was sold out. The money was gone but large quantities; how much actual in telligence we have no way of know ing. We do not pretend to under stand the market in all of it's phases, but in this particular phase we find it very difficult to see the difference between gambling on margin and gam bling on a roulette wheel. Yet one indulgence is legal and the other is not. People are queer. aren't thsy7

we may look for an apprcCiable drop in prices within a short time, particu- larly if the raids progress as they have started.
 We assume, in making the fore- going statement, that there are larse hoards of foodstuffs stored in differ- cnt parts of the country. There is every reason to so believe. If there are not, it will soon be proved and, of course, prices will remain up. In predicting lower prices, we also as sume that the railroad strike will be peaceab bly, settled without any too great an advance in wages. If it is not settled and the men walk out in greater numbers, there can be no action against those who have hoard ed food. If one is unable to ship his supplies, the government, most cer tainly, will not be able to prosecute him for keeping them in a storehouse them out. Also, if the demand for more wages on the railroads reaches a higher figure, we will be obliged 10 tack on the proportionate amount of the increase to the cost of the food. The carrier must be paid for delivery and he will get his toll for everything that goes over the lines.
 The lowering of prices is,, then, dependent upon three ''ifs'-if there is plentiful supply, some of which has been removed from the market by hoarding; if the government pro- ceeds as it has started; if the rail- roads, upon which we depend, remain in operation and do not advance too much in cost Providing that these three conditions are fulfilled, we will gain our wish. The first we cannot control, but we believe it is true; the second and third are the "human' elements and may be carried out by the people. The government has proved it's faith in the first instance. Finally, it is up to the railroad en- ployes. What are they going to do? Upon the answer to that question depends the answer to our problem.

A QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR
 HAUL.

Financial houses in Wall street Tuesday had another lesson pointing out the individuality of placing too much trust in human nature, particu larly immature nature, when two youths employed as messengers got away with the substantial sum of two hundred and twenty-six thousand dollars in negotiable, registered bonds, chiefly Liberty bonds. One haul was one hundred and seventy eight thousand dollars and the other amounted to about forty eight thou sand.
 Richard Whitney & Co. were the heaviest losers, it was from them that a twenty year old boy, who had been entrusted with the carrying of the securities, took the larger sum. In the other case a tWenty-one year old youth, who had been once before ar rested on similar charge, and whose sentence the judge had suspended, took the forty eight thousand, which been given to him to deliver, and has departed for parts unknown
 A New York police commissioner when making the robberies public, at trlbuted a great deal of blame to bank CTS and brokers generally who, he claimed, fail to register their bonds making them easier to trace, and who hire underpaid and unknown youths for the duty of handling huge sums of money. The idea of registering all bonds is one that. should be followed by the individual, particularly if he is accustomed to keep his securities at home rather than in a safe deDosit box The possibility of loss, while not done away with, is minimized by this method. Should they be stolen there is a chance of tracing them and should they be lost and fall into the hands of an honest person their re- turn will be surer.
 We often hear of Wall street mes sengcrs disappearing with the funds that they have Ecen carrying or being held up by daylight robber who re- lieves them of their valuable burden. It is well to make an object lesson out of these occurrences. None of us will regret having surrounded our posses slons with every possible safeguard. Many of us are liable to regret not having done so
 The disappearance of the youths leads one to suppose that there is an organization in money centers to trade on the weakness of the messengers and to offer them facilities for getting rid of the "sWag' just as there are "fences' for the distribution of stolen personal effects. Should twenty year old boy offer one hundred thou sand dollars worth of securities for sale at one time we are sure that he would excite the suspicion of any man accustomed to deal in bonds Should he even peddle it out in one thousand

 THEM OVER.

~-O-- These are the ships that brought them over
 And all through life will their names remain, Sheering west from the Cliffs of Dov- CT, Into the waste with the sunset stain, Slipping from Brest in a channel rain, Firing swift as a khaki rover, With pulse a-swing to the engine These are the ships that brought them over. The CalamareS and Hercules, The Santa Ana and Luckenbach; And lifting far on the topping seas. Day dreaming they'll see the An cons stack. The Baltic under the flying wrack. Swinging west to the land of clover, No more to travel on wars red track These are the ships that brought them over. The Pocahontas and Muscatne, The Nansemond and Leviathan; And ever westward the spars would lean,
 And days seemed years on the toss span,
 On tho Henderson strained eyes would scan The misty west where dreams would
 hove: And hearts were gay on the Rapi- dan, These are the ships that brought them over.
