and American elm are alI' excellent Of all of these the elm is the most graceful and beautiful, and has the most individuality. The fact that it is not as widely used as some of the others is under most conditions an other point in it's favor.
 While practically all the trees men, toned above will succeed with very little attention, every care should be taken to get them started right. Dig generous sized holes where they are to be planted, put in some good top soil if the ground is poor, and use two or three forkfuls of manure and a, few handfuls of bone to each tree. This little extra attention will help won derfully in giving them a start dur ing the first few years. They should also be protected while young from a chance of injury by wire tree guards or wooden slats. If in very exposed windy places 1t may be ne cessary to stake them during the first few years. Care should be taken in planting to get the. soil in VERY FIRMLY about the roots. A blunt stick may be used for this purpose while the dirt is being filled in. It Is impossible to fill up the hole first and then tamp it enough on the top to make the soil really firm about the roots,

The most complete study, perhaps, that has been made, of the distribu- tion of ice to household refrigera- tors, was made in Rochester, New York, by John R. Williams.
 Rochester is a city larger than Bridgeport, but has a similar pop ulation, and a climate of the same character.
 The household use of ice there may be regarded as fairly indicative of the use in Bridgeport.
 It appeared that 4 per cent. of household customers, or nearly half consumed, from 1O1 to 200 pounds a week. Eighteen per cent. consumed from 76 to 100 pounds per week; 10 per cent. consumed from POI to 300 pounds and per cent. 300 pounds and over Those taking 50 pounds a week or less were but per cent.
 A piece of ice is invariably heav- fer than a bottle of milk, but usu- ally, will be handled by one man. It takes time to cut the customers piece from the block, and there is shrinkage in the wagon. which must constitute part of the cost of delivery if full weight Is given to the customer.
 IAi SAAtCSA4 tAOAidl ttS 4IiCIuueS SOIfle- thing like s15 for all of these ele- ments, labor, overhead, cost of teams, shrinkage and so on.
 It is estimated that one man, properly equipped, can deliver in the average 2 1-2 tons of ice a. day. Each outfit is usually equipped with two men who should deliver an, average of five tons of ice a day. Five tons of ice at S15 per ton for delivery, would make s75 per day, the charge for this service.
 The average family in Rochester, 50 cent ice, paid from $5 to S10 per season. The saving as opposed to so cent ice would be $3 per week to a S5 customer and S6 a week to Ia $10 customer. which for the sea- son would be quite a saving

Ale TrOubadOr
 Believing Folk Songs
 Makes Midnight Drear

The baImy spring breezes of last night together with several drinks concocted by mixing wine and beer caused Jacob Spodnik of 147 HalIam street to break into song about mid night. At the corner of Helen street and Barnum avenue the minstrel poured forth ditties of love and selec- ton of Russian foIk-songs.
 A kindly policeman suggested to the troubador that he desist as the hour was late and slumbering neigh bors unappreciative. Spodnik resent ed the policeman's interference and with physical force endeavored to convince the copper of his privilege to make music.
 The argument was brief as the po- Hceman settled the matter with nightstick after Spodnik had gone half round during which encounter the pOlicemans coat was reduced to ribbons. Spodnik was fined $25 and costs in the City court this morning.

By the Associated Press

Monday is to see the commencement of the final action on the covenant of the league of nations. French, Japan ese and Belgian amendments are al- ready passed upon, to be reconsidered in part and adjusted, but it is reported in Paris adyices that progress in this direction already has been made.
 Sunday passed quietly in peace con ference circles, no meetings being held by the council of three.
 President Wilson planned g. day of relaxation with a motor trip, prepara- tory to the league of nations discus sion. and the meeting later in the week at Versailles, with the German dele gates Likewise David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, sought a change of atmosphere in a visit to the devastated regions, along the old bat tie front. All the main Italian dele gates to the peace conference, headed by Premier Orlando and Baron Son nino. the foreign minister, either are in Rome. where the premier shortly is to appear before the chamber of deputies to acquaint that body with the situation in Paris, or are on their way thither.
 At last accounts, the Italian people still were clamoring for the carrying out to the full of their demands with regard to Plume and the Dalmatian coast and islands, but President Will son and the French and British prem iers remain adamant.

PLENTY IF FOOD BUT
 SHIPPING |S SRORT

PARIS, April 27.-In the harvest year from August, 1918, to August 1919. Europe must import 29,000,000 tons of foodstuffs from overseas, and to meet this there is available a total of about 35,000,000 tons, Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of the food section of the supreme economic council, said today in reviewing the present world food situation. The supply available is sui ficient to meet the needs of Euripe. but shipping conditions are not satis- factory on account of strikes in many countries, and as a result there is no question that the entire American sur plus will be absorbed.

SOME MUST MAKE
 UP OTHERS LOSS

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Special efforts to obtain over-subscriptions from communities to counterbalance possible under subscriptions from oth- CTS will be made this week by Victory Liberty loan committees, at the request of the treasury.
 Managers of the loan have discovered that vicissitudes of the postwar read justment period have reduced the or dinary ability of some communities to subscribe the same proportions as in previous loans, although in many cases they have been assigned the same pro- portionate quota.
 For this reason cities. towns and country communities which have not been adversely affected by the cesSa- tion of war activities, were urged in messages sent today to all loan com mittees by the treasury, to exceed their quotas weherever possible.
 Secretary Glass today designated Wednesday, May [, during the last week of the loan drive as navy day and instructed loan committees ito ob- serve that day in manner which will fittingly honor the American navy"

BORAH SIMPLY
 OPPOSESLEACUE:

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Members of the senate were greatly interested in the revised text of the league of na- tions covenant, but @ majority were inclined to withhold comment upon the changes that have been made, pending an opportunity to study the document carefully.
 Senator Borah of Idaho republican, one of the leading opponents of the league of nations, reiterated his state ment that he could not support the proposed covenant. Article ten" he siad, which obligated us to guarantee the territorial integrity of Europe and Asia, remains as it was" said the sen- ator
 This article would require us to keep an army in Europe indefinitely. and compel us to do over again what we are now doing in Russia. This article alone would make it impossible for me to support the league. Neither do think the Monroe doctrine has been adequately protected. The withdrawal clause is also impractical"
 Supporters of the league plan, how ever, reiterated their belief that the re- vised covenant would meet objections that had been made against it and would be ratified by the senate.
