First Ice Cream Soda.

THE price Of ice cream soda is writ
ten about in the news In some
cities there are protests against the
price and in some quarters in New
York there have been popular out
breaks against what are called the
ice cream soda profiteers.
Ice cream soda is an American in
vention and was introduced at the
Philadelphia Centennial. in 1876. by
one Of the concession holders at that
exposition. His name was Green.
and he died about two years ago. AT
the time of his death the story was
told of how he introduced ice cream
soda and it is believed that nobody
has arisen to deny the accuracy of
the account.
| Mr.. Green kept a shop in the ex-
I position grounds and sold. among
other Refreshments" soda water anS
ice cream. He said that he noticed
what many other persons have also
noticed that when the average per-
SON orders a plate Of ice cream he
also calls for a glass OF water. Ice
cream seems to start a thirst in most
persons. He said that he hit upon
the idea Of putting small order OF
n wos called an lice cream and

/ position ordered it because II was
a novelty. They liked the comoina

was good. Competing vendors are

And the more she tried to explain
the sadder grew the shake of Barry's

then a bald head eagle flies over the
National Capital and a few are to h+
seen in the region of Washington. but
they have become rare Last spring
a large and handsome member of th-

that cannot be counted. The presi-

ter of the American eagles that have
sought home in Alaska because they
could find one nowhere else. and said:
THE good Lord certainly made
enough fish SO that the emblem OF
our national independence might have
one occasionally. 1t is my conten-

should be stopped until the eagle
has his day in court. The late Gov.
