daughter. The de Mumm estate in
France. estimated in some reports to
amount to $20,000,000. was sequ estrat-
ed by the French government in the
war, as the baron is a German sub
ject, although he had spent most of
his life in France. The baron went
to Germany when the war began and
the baroness remained in France. serv-
ing as nurse.
In an effort to safeguard her share
of the de Mumm estate in France the
Baroness de Mumm came to the Unit

through an act of Congress her Amer

Returning to France she sought di-

D. C.. ICE CREAM PRICES VARY
ACCORDING TO NEIGHBORHOOD
Whether You Like It "Loose" or ''Scram-
bled," You Pay From 25 to 100
Per Cent Profit.

Washington ice cream sells for IS
cents a quart-the same sort that
sells for SO cents a quart in George
town.
The price Of ice cream has gone
up 20 cents a gallon since last sum
approximately the same as it was the
first summer after the war. The cost
OF materials and of labor has risen
for the wholesale dealer, and the cost
Of rent and labor has risen for the
retail dealer.
One Quart Of Waste.
The proprietor of a number OF
large drug stores in Washington
claimed that for every three-gallon
can of ice cream he sold he lost one
quart because of melting and spill
ing" He sells ice cream at $2.4O a
gallon, which cost him $1.40 a gallon
from the wholesaler. Even at a
profit of 81 gallon the dealer claims
he loses money on ice cream. Aside
from the depreciation, there is the
hire of what he called artists" who
mix the drinks behind the marble
bar. These ladies and gentlemen
draw salaries ranging from $40 to
$25 a week for their knowledge of
how to concoct a prohibition drink
or decorate a plate of ice cream with
fruits and nuts
Every dealer asked can explain
his reasons for charging the customer
100 per cent more than he is charged
for ice cream. But some one familiar
with the overhead expenses connect
ed with the maintenance Of q drug
store or ice cream dispensary would
have to judge on the correctness of
the explanations
Ice, something which is rather inn
portant in the manufacture and sale
Of ice cream. is plentiful. according
to Dr. William C. Fowler, who has
completed a survey of the Districts
ice supply. The price of ice, sold to
wholesale buyers, has risen 81 a ton,
or a fraction of a cent a pound since
spring. This hardly would explain
a difference Of 100 per cent between
the purchase and sales price of a
nnart of ice cream.
