shire Co. to put up ice this year, but he did not believe that it cost MT. Walker as highly as his prices indl- cated.
 There has been much criticism of the committees work since it has been discovered that Bridgeport is to get cheaper ice. The Bridgeport supply comes from New Hartford for the most part and it costs even more to ship it to Bridgeport for deliv- cry.
 In Hartford the plan of the city's buying the ice was proposed but the committee claimed that no ice could be procured and so agreed to the proposal of esta bLshing the stations and allowing the dealers 10 operate them. A price agreement was en- tered into but the dealers have raised the price from 4 to 50 cents.
 '1f we have to pay exorbitant prices for ice, we'll have to charge more" said MT. McNally. What we want Is ice and we are willing to pay any price to get it for Hartford.
 Alderman Raphael takes the stand that the ice committee should do ev- erything possible to alleviate the situation but believes that the ice men were telling the truth when they said that they were not making any mon ey. He agreed with Alderman Dan iels, however, that there should be an investigation of the way in which Bridgeport accomplished the drop in price and what reason there is, if any, why ice should be sold more cheapIy in Bridgeport than in Hartford.

 Lavit says that he is not either down or out as yet and that the District Lodge cannot be abolished, without the consent of the three other locals in this city who have not passed on the matter. Lavlt says that none of the machinists want to dissolve the Dis rrict Lodge except as a means of oust- ing him from his position as business agent q thing which his enemies have been trying unnecessarily to do for some time. ana that his opponents tocl< advantage of his attendance in Meriden during the week as a dele gate to the convention of the State Federation of Labor to get their friends together last night.

Geography sixty Years Old.

The rapid development of geography
as college study, since its first ap-
pearance In a university curriculum,
about half century ago, is discussed
by Prof. II. II. WhltBeck of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. in recent ar
ticle on Geography in American and
European Universities" published in
the Journal of Geography. He points
out the following interesting fncts:.
In 1860 Harvard and Princeton
were the only American universities
offering courses in geography.
Cornell and University of Wlscon-
sin introduced the subject in 1868,
and Yale followed in 1872. In 1900
only II American universities taught
the subject. but by 1910 thirty-one
universities were Offering variety
Of 142 courses.
With 704 students enrolled in geog-
raphy, the University of Wisconsin
led all others in 1910. With 1,069 en-
rolled in 1917. it led all others except
the University of Pennsylvania. 1t
now offers seven courses in physical
and economic geography climatology
md other pha1es of the subject.
