TO ENGLISHMAN THE HONOR
How Ice Cream, Perhaps Most Popular
Of Delicacies, Was Given to
Appreciative World.

Many persons think that Dolly
Madison made the first ice cream, but
Thyra Samter Winslow, an English
woman, who has made long and
careful study of the subject declares
that Dolly Madison was merely the
first person in America to serve it.
This was at White House reception
during the administration of Presi-
dent Madison. The guests liked the
cream SO well that they asked how it
was made, and from that first begin
ning vast business has grown up.
According to creamery expert, the
American people eat more than $780,
100000 gallons Of ice cream in a year.
The first Ice cream was made by
London confectioner named Gunton,
and others learned to make it. Gun
tons methods of freezing were crude
and uncertain. 1t remained for Nancy
johnson, wife of an American naval
officer, to invent the ice cream freezer.

Platinum Mines of Russia
Said to Afford the Worlds
Most Profitable Dredging

The most profitable dredging in the
world can be done on the platinum
placers of Russia, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. The value of the
metal recovered is often equivalent
for considerable periods of operation
to SIS cubic yard. When one remem-
bers that the gravels of the California
gold-dredging fields yielded only about
10 cents to 15 cents cubic yard on
an average, and nevertheless paid well,
the possible profits of platinum dredg-
ms become apparent.
Before the war there were about 25
dredges at work in the Urals, operat-
ing twO-thirds of the time of each
working season of about $50 days, and
averaging 500 cubic yards dredge a
day, thus working total Of about
100000 cubic yards of material Il
year, and recovering annually 10000
TO 100000 ounces of platinum. There
Is only one first-class dredge in opera
tion in the Urals. They are mostly of
antiquated design and of poor con-
struction.
Firstclass dredges working in ma
terial of similar characteristics dig
several times as much gravel day in
other countries with similar climate.
Working costs in the Ural regions are
twice those in Montana, which has a
similar climate, but where the aurifer-
Gus gravel is much harder to dredge.

How Monument Was Started.

Many months ago a girl-the sweet
heart of Il soldier at Camp Devens
Mass.-brought to the camp a bit Of
stone from her home and gravely laid
it on designated spot. That little
action was the beginning of the sweet
hearts monument.
In the months following, other girls.
the rich and the poor. from the coast
fishing villages and the Berkshire hills,
brought bits of stone and laid them
close to the first.
Today where the first piece of rock
was laid. there is tall shaft com.
posed of hundreds of multi-colored
stones. 1t was dedicated as the sweet.
hearts monument and has bronze
tablet with the inscription: ITO the
memory of those who at the call Of
humanity laid aside their vocatiOns to
become soldiers in the grand army Of

NOT GUILTY, SAYS THE JURY

The case against Arthur Buninger,
charged with cattle stealing, has occu-
pied the attention of the district court
the most of this week and it created
more than a little interest. The case
was hard fought by the district attor-
ney, but Buninger was well defended
by W. 8. Furman and Silmon L. Smith
of Grand Junction, it apparently being
the aim of the defense to show feud
between the cattlemen and sheepmen
and to picture this prosecution as a
put-up job on the accused, and evident
ly they made it stick with the jury for
they brought in verdict of not guilty
after deliberating less than an hour.
The interested parties all come from
the western portion of the county.

War Has Given Women Chance
To Show What They Can Do in
Various Industrial Avenues

After many years spent in demand
ing access to various employments on
the same basis as men, women are now
being offered an unprecedented chance
to show what they can do in industry,
states a writer in New York Journal of
Commerce. Abroad they are the actu-
al operating force of many businesses,
and 1t may be expected that a like con-
ditiop will more and more come to
prevail in the United States. The
women of Great Britain have made a
splendid record in tho Industrial world,
and there Is no doubt they will like
wise here If the emergency requires.
This state Of things is usually present
ed as an outgrowth of the war, and
not few women are quite frankly
holding their present places as patri-
odc duty rather than as the result of
personal desire. Very little study
however, is required to reach the con-
clusion that in many cases there will
be tendency and disposition to broad
en- the scope of women's employment
after the end of the war, and, If de-
sired by the employers, to accept them
as permanent factors in places here
tofore held exclusively by men.
The final outcome with reference to
the industrial status of women will,
however, depend primarily upon the
degree of efficiency they are able to
develop. If there are, as often alleged
large and increasing classes of women
who desire permanent industrial op-
portunity on the same basis with men,
their time to make good" is now at
hand and will probably not soon come
again. That there are many who real
lze the situation no one can doubt. 1t
is equally clear, however, that there
are many others who thus far are
showing traits which not only disquali
fly them from competition with men,
but will render them unacceptable in
any capacity as soon as men are again
available as employees. OF these traits
the most serious probably are the lack
Of professional pride in work, the fail
ure to regard it as a permanent occu-
patton, and as such to be studied and
perfected, and the tendency to lack Of
responsibility.
Time may correct these traits and
develop the women Of the country into
an efficient, well-disciplined body of
industrial workers. 1t will be neces-
sary that they train and educate them
selves for their tasks and recognize
that retention of the new place already
assigned them will be dependent en-.
tirely on the merit they are able to
show.
