Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Carter, with Tom
Harris as their accomplice, saw to it
that we had really truly dinner to-
day. We haven't time to eat dinners,
as a rule, and at luncheon time HE Us
to a restaurant, wrap our hindlegs
around the single support of stool
and absorb soup like sponge suck
ing water out of a bowl. Today, how
ever, while desperately trying to read
a proof and write a telegraph head at
the same time, in came a boy with a
waiter heavily loaded and daintily
wrapped in white napery. There was
coffee, cream and sugar. rice, potatoes,
eggbread, butter and, best of all, two
beautiful trout, cooked just right-and
if you don't believe we can edit pa
per with one hand and eat with the
other you should see US on some such
occasion. Mr.. and Mrs. Carter and
Tom had been to the lake and caught
bunch of splendid fish, such as it
would have filled Izaak Walton with
rapture to pull in. We should have a
fish dinner every day to recuperate
our failing brain power.

ICECREAM SODA INVENTED
IN A THUNDERSTORM

Detroit, Mich, Aug. ga summer
thunder shower Al years ago resulted
in the invention" of the ice cream
soda, according to Fred Sanders Jr.,
OF Detroit. whose grandfather, Fred
Sanders, claimed the distinction of
having discovered this American in
stitution.
Speaking of his grandfather's dis
covers Mr. Sanders said:
Forty years ago the Americap peo-
pie regarded ice cream much as the
lily that could not be painted. At that
time they took it straight Syrups
were in general use in drink concoc-
tions but the ice cream sundae and its
many near relatives were Unknown.
Carbonated water was used by the
soda dispensers in popular drink
known as sweet cream soda. Its chief
ingredient was sweet cream, direct
from the farm.
''The thunderstorm that brought
about my grandfather's discovery
came in. the summer of 1880. He was
conducting a soft drink parlor and the
storm caused the sweet cream he had
intended for sodas to sour. Just after
the storm passed wedding party
dropped in and my grandfather vol
unteered to experiment until he found
a substitute drink. He tried several
drinks and finally concocted one al
most identical with the ice cream
soda of today.
Members of the party liked the
new drink so well that it became pop
ular within a short time and soon all
dealers were making the sodas."

BROOKSvILLE SEES RATE
WAR BETWEEN BARRIERS

Brooksville, Aug. 5.-Whiskers
have disappeared from the faces of
the men of Brooksville and the man
with unsightly hair because of failure
to have it trimmed has become a nov
city. Safety razors have been dis
carded by those who ~push i'm their
own beard and the man who favored
the old fashioned blade has parked
that instrument along with his strop,
soap, brush and mug on the top shelf
behind the shoe polish. The local
BARRIERS are at war.
Tonsorial parlors here for many,
many months have charged forty
cents for hair cut and twenty cents
for shave. A new shop opened for
business one day last week and an
nounced pre-war prices, twenty-five
cents for hair cut and fifteen cents
for shave. Business at the other
shops fell off to such an alarming ex-
int that their proprietors launched an
investigation. They discovered what
the trouble was and retaliated by re-
ducin CHAIR cuts to twenty cents and
shaves to ten cents.
No one has ventured to predict
what the outcome of the price war
win be but the competition has re-
suited in swamping each shop here
with business

each full charge approximately 48o
pounds of powder is required.
The secondary battery consists of
fourteen fye-inch guns, carried for
use against torpedo boats, subma-
rines and small craft. In addition the
Maryland has four three-inch anti
aircraft guns, three-ineh landing
gun, six thirty-caliber machine guns
and two underwater torpedo tubes
for diring the largest and longest
range torpedoes.
The Maryland was launched March
20, 1920. and recently completed speed
trials off the Virginia capes. The tech
nical description follows: Length, 624
feet; beam, 81 feet; draft, 80 feet;
weight, $4,000 tons, speed, 21 knots;
propellers, four; shaft horsepower,
10000; oil capacity, 1,400,000 gallons;

FOUR SOLDIERS WHO
HAD NEVER FOUGHT

It's a safe bet that the four men
who are referred to in the following
had never been under fire:
New York. Aug. 5.-An army truck
drew up to 186 East Kinney street,
Newark, yesterday afternoon. and one
of four soldiers in the truck shouted
to several boys playing in front of the
home:
"Does Bufanio live here?"
The boys told them that Fortunate
Bufanio lived in the house with his
family, but that none of the family
was at home at the time.
The soldiers then backed the truck
to the curb and carried to the porch
of the house coffin draped with the
American flag.
"What floor do they live on?" ask
ed the spokesman of the soldiers.
The coffin was carried into the
ground floor hall, but when the sol
diers found that the stairway seemed
to present difficulties one of them
said: Lets leave it out on the porch, y
and hurried off in the truck.
Bufanio returned home about two
hours later and found a crowd of
neighbors angrily commenting on the
behavior of the soldiers in their treat
ment of the body of his son, Silveno,
who was killed while fighting with
the 312th Infantry in the Argonne

there, how can an agreement be
reached?
But there is something more serious.
Even if they were both there, and if
they signed an agreement, what value
would it have? Is the Germany of
Wirth Germany in which one may
have confidence Is the Russia Of
Lenine an honorable nation on the
word OF which one may rely? OF
course, Germany has on paper an
army of only 100000 men, but how
long would it take to transform that
army of 100000 into an army of
100000? Of course, Russia is tired
of fighting. So we were told in 1918,
when Russia abandoned the cause OF
the Allies. But, by a curious chance
Russia. who was tired of fighting the
Germans in 1918, was not too tired to
fight Poland in 1920, and Poland was
very nearly overrun.
In any case, no control is needed for
the execution of a treaty limiting the
naval strength of the three great naval
powers, Or OF any navar power The
control is easy. 1t is made by the
public. One cannot hide dread
nought, or cruiser, or even sub
marine. They must be built, armed,
equipped, navigated. But far more diff
ficult is the control of land armame nts
because those ornaments escape the
laws of publicity. Hundreds of can
non may be made in country without
even the people themselves having any
knowledge of it. Poisonous gas may
be manufactured without any one hav-
ing heard of it. Machine guns may be
