"Then the Union is right" remarked
Miss True.
"Well-Brunswick doesn't think so-and

observed Mrs. De Pomp in tone and man

"By the way, Gerald" remarked Dens-
more, somewhat anxious to change sub
ject upon which there was so obviously
difference of opinion. "That's quite
furry we're having in wheat. Are you
in on that?"
De Pomp sprang instantly to attention;

that with this deal he will count his for

pull down our present house, and build a

and she began tanning herself; tilting her
head like a bird of paradise, or as much
as to say-"Am not elegant?"
"Yes-I am just watching the old sky

De Pomp looked toward the ceiling-his
face glowing with anticipation and
pleasure. 1t occurred to his hearers that
he was visioning in his mind, display of
bursting pyrotechnics showering rain of
golden fire, and shooting vividly-colored
stars in all directions. Already certain
in his mind of his happy future, he
lowered his gaze, folded his arms, and
added with contented smile, "Then it
will be retirement and ease for the rest of

The little group remained silent for
brief interval, then Miss True remarked,
slowly and earnestly-"This will l do!

the last year 100000 Protestants en-
tered and $4,000 returned, leaving
5000. Ninety thousand Catholics

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. II.
Mayor James Rolph, Jr., faced today
an organized assault on his personal
e~Xchequer, as the result of q random
scientific experiment last night.
Defeating a radio broadcasting
station, he said into the transmitter:
II want to find how far my voice is
carrying, how big my audience ie.
Send me kilograms and send them
collect. Come on-everybody. Mayor
Hylan of New York, and you, Mayor
Curley of Boston-everybody."
Radio fans were not slow in re-
spending. BY midnight at least one
telegram had come from every, state
in the union. it was announced at
the mayors office, and Honolulu and
4 ship 1000 miles at sea were rep
resented. And as the night crept
on toward dawn, the messages con-
tinued to arrive.
At daylight it was estimated that
the mayor had incurred wire tolls
of $4,000. with the possibility that
the figure might be doubled durirIr

DEADLOCK REACHED IN
BRITISH DEBT CONFERENCE
CONTINUED from page IL

Among other things the British
officials and parliament are said to
find it difficult to understand why
the Americans r reluctant to con-
sem to a low interest rate, in view of
the fact that the Bank of England
now is loaning money at home at 3
per cent. 1t is expected that Mr..
Baldwin will lay before his govern
ment the facts as to the difference IN
credit conditions in the United States
and Great Britain.
Saturday had been the date all
ready fixed by the British commits
sion for it's return to London, but
until today it had been hoped that
the period spent here might be sufi-
Client TO put an agreement into at
least tentative form.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 1.-THE
American debt commission has
frankly told the British mission. ac-
cording to information today az the
treasury, that it could not assent to
any plan of settlement of Great Brit
aims war debt which could not be
expected to receive the approval Oh
congress at this session. :
In view of the determination OF
President Harding not to call an ex-
LIa S6SSlOlt VI tlIS uSW $N'N
whole question of a settlement OF
the British debt would have 10 be
held in allegiance until next year II
this congress failed to ratify TN ar
rangement that might be entered
into at this time.
1t was argued that during that
time conditions affecting the refund
ing arrangement might be SO chang
ed as to require the negotiations OF
a new settlement.
The American commissioners also
were reported to feel that a failure
to obtain ratification would hold up
the refunding negotiations with The
other debtor nations. 1t has been
their hope to make the settlement
with Great Britain a guide for the
refunding of all of the other war
debts.
While both the British and Amer
| leans still were hopeful today that
an agreement in principle would
come out of the present negotiations
they plainly were not as optimistic
on this point as they had been.
Conversations between the COM
| missions were halted today while the
| British awaited further instructions
from London regarding terms.

HEATH|ZEDe
ICE CREAM S
Rotarians Listen to Talk BY
Ernest Wadley of the Cas-
tie Plant

( Ernest Wadley. superintendent II
Castle S ice reain plant. IN this city,
told the Perth Arnboy Rotarians at
their MONDAY luncheon al the New
Packer House today all about heath
lied ice cream Guy Weaver pre-
sidea at today's meeting and made
a decided hit with the members
by the promtp manner in which he
disposed of the preliminary bus!-
ness.
The method of manufacturing ice
cream was described and the va
rious processes through which the
milk, cream and sugar passes were
explained. The heatl1izaticn of ice
cream is the process of removing
the air of the room in which the
manufacturing takes place from the
preparation and substituting C-69
gas In this way there is no dam
ger of contamination: that might
be found in the air that would cause
|oontag1on are removed and the pur-
est kind of air substituted.
1t Is known that ice cream con-
sists largely of air. Nearly every
body has made ice cream at home
n found that with the freezer only
a quarter filed with the mixture at
the beginning 1t Is nearly full after
the freezing takes place. The differ
ence is made up of air and this air
that has been mixed in the ice cream
is the air that surrounds the freezer
when the ice cream is being made,
Realizing the danger of spreading
c~ontagion in this way. the process
has been devised whereby Coz gas
is forced into the freezer from the
bottom and, being much heavier
than air, 1t remains in the freezer
while the ordinary air is forced out
! at the top. Then as the ice req is
mixed the air that goes into it il al
pure as nature makes 1t.
Numerous questions were asked
| Mr.. Wadley about the process and a
great deal of interest was shown.
The Castle plant is always sopen to
| the public, 1t was declared, and the
members of the Rotary Club were
invited to visit the place and see the
ice ear in the making.
