EATING MORE ICE CREAM
Average of Three Gallons Consumed
by Every Person in United States.

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 17.@Three
hundred million gallons of ice cream
were consumed in the United States
last year, according to figures made
public by officers of >the Association
of Ice Cream Supply Men and the
National Association of Ice Cream
Manufacturers here today at, the
opening session of their joint conven-
ton.
This is an increase of one gallon per
year for every man, woman and child
in the country over the amount con-
sumed N pre-prohibition days, ac-
cording to 0. S. Jordan, of New York
City, president of the supply mems
orga nization. The figures, according
to Mr.. Jordan, show that if every per-
son ate his share, he had three gall
Ions last year, whereas in the old
days his annual ice cream consump-
ton was two gallons

SWAMP DEAD LETTER OFFICE
Political Candidates Urged to Use Up
fo-Date Mailing Lists.

Washington, Oct. 1z.-Mr. Political
Candidate, If you use Uncle Sans
mails 20 garner in the sheaves. be
sure your stumping letters and other
mail matter are sent correctly. Be
sure the addresses you use are cor
rect. Don't use ancient mailing lists
or city directories to get the home ad-
dresses Of those you desire for your
followers.
Such is the warning or the postof-
flee department, in announcing that
the amount of dead letter material re-
ceived at the dead letter office dur
ing the months OF June, July and Aug
ust in which many primaries were
mately rs per cent over the amount
received during the same months of
last year. The greatest portion of
this matter, it. is believed, is political,
altho, officials said, the 10 per cent
increase in general postal business
may account for a Similar increase in
the dead matter.
Department officials believe that
use of out-of-date mailing lists and
city directories accounts for so many
unbelievable letters. For, it is re-
peated, IL there is no return address
upon a letter incorrectly addressed
or if the addresses cannot be
reached, the letter goes into the dead
department ultimately to be de-
stroyed
As many as seven and eight thou
sand such letters have come in from
one city alone, it was declared.

RETURN CT INDICTMENTS
Federal Grand Jury Holds Busy Ses-
sion in Leavenworth.


sion in LeavenEorth.
Sixty-one indictments were returned
by the federal grand jury at the Octo-
Der term of the federal court which
adjourned at Leavenworrn Saturday
evening. More than half of these in
dictments were for transporting stolen
automobiles in interstate commerce.
Steve Proudly, Bonnie Jackson and
his wife, and Leila Dotson, all To-
peka negroes, were indicted on
charges of violating the narcotic laws
Proudly entered a plea of guilty and
sentence was deferred until October
IS.
Robert s. Carroll, formerly proprietor
of a garage at 1116 Southwest boule-
ward, Kansas City, was indicted for
having unlawful possession of part of
the loot stolen from Santa Fe passen-
ger train No. by members of the
notorious T1die Adams gang between
Ottawa and Argentine November 5,
1921. About $4,000 worth of coupon
bonds were found in a showcase in his
garage by officers who went there to
foreclose a mortgage.
z. NJ. Van Meter, who was convicted
in federal court here last April on a
charge of conspiracy against the gov
eminent in connection with the theft
of several blank checks from the war
denis office at the federal penitentiary,
was convicted at the session last week
on charge of receiving and conceal
the United States property known to
him to have been stolen. The prop
erty consisted of 155 blank checks.
The court has not passed sentence in
this case, however, and is celebrating
whether the checks are government
property in the legal sense of the
word. When he was convicted here
on the conspiracy charge he was sem
fenced to serve two years in prison
and to pay a fine of $4,000.
Otto Thornburg and s. P. Richards,
employees of the Manhattan postoffice,
were indicted on charges of opening
first class mail matter. They appeared
before the court Saturday. pleaded
guilty and were each fined $3.50.
The United States district attor-
ney's office has waged a continual war
upon the transporta ton of stolen cars
since the first of this fiscal year and
in two terms of court has obtained
approximately thirty-five indictments,
resulting in the practical breaking up
of big auto theft ring.

Only 7enors Can
Make Loue, Says
A Russian Bdsso

London, Oct. 17.-Only tenors can
make love, and that's why Chaliapin,
the famous Russian bass, wants to be
a tenor.
Chaliapin confessed in an inter-
view that his greatest disappointment
in life has been that his million-dollar
voice is pitched so low that he never
gets a chance to play the part of a
gay Lothario, but is always cast for
the heavy villain.
The Russian singer sails for the
United States on October Is and will
garner more shekels there per MARBLE
than ever Caruso did, according to
information in musical circles here.
81 have just been thru the German
Black Forest" said Chaliapin. 'In the
twilight there I used to hear the
either, the guitar and the sound of
peasants voices singing love songs to
their sweethearts.

Plan Assistance for
Raspberry Industry

Rehabilitation of the raspberry in
dustry in Michigan will be undertake
en- by federal and state authorities,
following q survey Of the industry in
Berrien and Van Buren, counties. 1t
was found that the decline in produc-
ton is due to unsatisfactory cultural
conditions and to the prevalence of
several diseases.
Plans formulated by the authorities
call for: first, an increase in the num-
Der Of inspectors and more rigid in
spection by the state department of
agriculture; second, acquainting the
raspberry growers with tho import
ance of better cultural and fertiiZa-
tion practices and with the serious
nature of the several diseases by
means Of field meetings.; and third,
organizing the raspberry interests so
they may be in a position to certify
paintings which are disease free and
true to variety name much after the
fashion of the potato producers.
The surveying party was headed by
DIR. w. A. Taylor, chief of the Bureau
of Plant Industry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, and includ-
ed representatives of NJ. A. c., the
state department of agriculture and
many other agencies.

The LAST LECTURE

Rev. f. +. Shoufler will close his
series of lectures at the Baptist
Church, Sunday morning at 10 o.
clock. This will be all interesting
discussion on the Bible ''Do we Need
Another Revelation ?" Do the Scrip
lures reed any supplemental books
set up as authority III matters relig-
ious? Do men dream dreams and
have visions today? Are we to find
the truth or does the truth find us?
Does the Bible meet every stage
of life, domestic, social, industrial,
political, in regard to every great in
terest of life, intellectual, ethical,
religious, speaking with tone of
sympathy and authority?
To what extent should the Bible
guide in childhood and manhood, or
as man descends the hill in the even
ing as he journeys toward the setting
sun? Can one do business on the
basis of the Bible? Are there any
substitutes for the Bible standards
for honesty, morality, Righteousness
and truth? This lecture will be a
sane and fearless presentation, fit
ting climax Of the series. Rev. Shout

Taffetas are the materials which,

height of fashion. And some Of these
silks are so soft m textureN that they
look almost like crepes. However, GER

younger woman and the thin woman
and the woman Who is wanting TO
make her evening dresses as simple
as possible. They are, in fact, the
real representation Of the modern ex-
preston OF the woman who, in spirit
is always young.
The chiffon dresses are particularly
good for evening. They are soft and
full and graceful and, above all, they
are graceful. They have that filmy
quality that is expressly summary In
it's expression and becoming TO the
average woman 10 a very great extent
The draped dresses are the things
for the elder women, certainly, al
though they, in certain elements, suit
the younger woman most admirably.
They are still the best things upon
the market in the way OF evening
clothes, for they suit the dinner as
well as the dance and, in fact, there
Is no evening occasion at which they
cannot shine.

Old Brick Made to
SerUe TlUO LiUeS

One of the most outstanding econo-
mics now being practiced in street
and highway paving is found in the
use of old vitrified paving brick or
old granite block in the recon-
struction of pavements under which
the artificial base has Deen disturbed.
A recently conducted survey shows
that this practice is saving many tax
burdened communities thousands OF
dollars.
There are numerous American
cities that find themselves with brick
or granite block pavemcnts ranging
in age from 20 to 30 years or more.
In scattered instances these old pave
ments show signs of roughness. Al
the time they were built there was no
indication that they would be called
upon to stand such traffic as that
prevalent since the advent of the
heavy motor truck. Many such pave
ments have no foundation other than
the natural soil. Others have ex-
tremely thin and unsubstantial bases
which, however, were adequate for
light or medium traffic.
Present day heavy traffic has dis
turbed the thin base in some IN
stances and the result is a rough
street. The first practice in meeting
this situation was to apply resur-
facing coat over the brick or block.
This, however, frequently proved
costly because the depressions IN the
base naturally reappeared and fire.
quent patching of the new coat great
" increased maintenance costs.
Engineers Investigating this situa-
ton found in the majority of cases
where roughness of surface developed
that the brick or block themselves, be-
cause Of their toughness and density,
were for the most part uninjured and
often only very slightly worn on the
upper side.
The practice then developed of re-
moving the brick, constructing a
more substantial base, and relaying
the brick by turning them over and
applying asphalt between the joints.
In inc case OF giuhlVN NlONN, iNN"'''S
often is resorted to.
Numerous cities have adopted this
practice in preference to costly-to-
maintain resurfacing. The brick or
block despite their many years of
service, are practically as good as
new, and with a more substantial
artificial base pavement good for
another generation is often obtained.
AS an indication of how wide
spread this practice has become IN
recent years the survey points at ran
dom to the following as a few of the
cities that have adopted this method
of renewing pavements: Meridian,
Mississippi; Pensacola, Florida; Ton
AMANDA, N Y; Alton, Illinois; Lam
caster, Ohio.
