The Ice Cream Of New England


Embodied for all time in song and
story is the roast beef Of old Eng
land. Where is the poet to sigh of
the sweet and cooling influence of
the ice cream of New England? The
statistician Is at work, but few can
discover poetry in figures. He Is
laying the ground work for poet of
more limpid measure who shall tell
the tale of ice cream in soothing and
melting cadence. But the story of the
Statistician is not without interest.
We read in connection with the pro-
ceedings o fthe New England asso-
citation of Ice Cream Manufacturers
now in session in Boston that fifteen
million gallons of ice cream were
made in New England last year.
Presumably it was eaten here. 1t
represents consumption of about two
gallons per capita.
Here. perhaps. is food for cool re-
Election by that body of investigators.
Governor Cox would have appointed
to study the New England food sup
ply. The ice cream manufacturers
say that their product is winning de-
served Fecognition as a food rather
than as mere means of tickling
parched palate. The fifteen million
figure bears out the assertion. 1t is
further explained that ice cream
when not too cold is excellent break
fast food. Why not meet complaint
that New England imports too much

Ice cream? Here is home made pro-
duct, nutritious and pleasing to the
taste. 1t appeals to youth and age.
1t is the solace of the invalid and

REPRESENTATIONS at countless soda

What, then, more appropriate than
consideration of ice cream as estab-
lished element in the regimen of New
England? And it is to be noted that
the production of ice cream in this
part of the country expands while
the production of other foodsuffs de-
clines. Not without interest is the

sion here. 1t is an organization of

MY Dear Chairman Quincy:
before suggesting what electrified

may | remind YOU that when we
speak of the electrical age we are
not simply exploiting catchy
phrase. The output of electricity
nas been growing from year to wear
IKE money at compound interest
and the larger part Of the growth
comes from the electrifcation Of ma
chinery, although the amount of our
yearly electric light bill is fully half
a billion dollars. Electricity is rem
cering larger and more varied SER
vice every month. And this great
progress in putting electric energy
at the command of man reminds me
how thankful the country should be
That Maine never enacted any law
prohibiting the export of brain en-
ergy across it's borders. The cleo
IRRIGATION of the United States and
OF the world has been furthered i'm
neasurably by the service Of two
great leaders in the electrical indus
try. both of them from Maine. The
guiding genius of the General Elec-
trio company ever since IL was or
ganized has been Charles A. Coffin,
who served as president and then as
chairman of the board OF directors.
A younger Maine man, General Guy
f. Trip, has occupied a correspond

DECISION ON NATIONAL BANK
BRANCHES

National banks arc subject to the
laws of 4 State in respect of their
affairs unless such laws interfere
with the purposes of their creation
tend to impair or destroy their ef-
ficicncy as Federal agencies. or con-
fltct with the paramount law OF the
United states said Justice Suther-
land of the L. :. Supreme Court in
the majority opinion in = decision
sustaining the right OF a State to
prevent such banks establishing
branches within the States borders.
This decision Is not understood to
stand in the way of Congress should
IT wish to give national banks the
right TO establish branches, in which
event the State would be expected
TO respect the law.
AS it is, the national banks in
some states are cramped in COM
petition with State banks having
authority to establish branches and
some of the justices. the decision
was six TO three, may have been ap-
prehensive of the effects of this.
Comptroller Dawes is said to hold
the opinion that the expansion of
branch banking in States menaces
the Federal Reserve. On the other
hand IL national banks be given
authority to establish branches It
would be possible for a few to mono
police the national bank business.
Some are of the opinion that the
tendency Of State banks to establish
branches will have a bad effect. In
r certain sense local freedom
financially Is as valuable as local
freedom politically and It would seem
that the Federal Reserve is in posi-
tion to sustain the small bank in time

helped greatly in turning the search

to the effect that Denver newspaper
reporter, who visited and Investigate

names of parties possessed of in
formation and so made possible much
or the success attending the investi-

Walsh is entitled to credit.
Whether the senator will dissipate
his credit by trying to make the oil
lease scandal a lever to lift his party
into power remains to be seem He
Is strong man according to all ac-
counts but the temptation to the
partisan is strong. Will he yield?
There are indications that he will.
He asked that immediate action be
taken, that bipartisan prosecuting
agency be established and the matter
be sfted to the bottom. This is just
what the President is prepared to do
and is doing. He has selected two at
torneys of national prominence, one
n Democrat and one a Republican, to
prosecute the case. That is all which
should be expected of him to date
No one knows this better than
Walsh.
Yet Walsh is clamoring for the
President to assume the guilt of GER
tain Of his cabinet officers. in advance
OF proof. and prejudice their case and
obstruct justice by kicking them out

doesn't look like the kind of a man
who would do such an unjust act,
whatever political threats might be
aimed ut him. The cabinet members
are at least entitled 20 their day in

Senator Walsh fully understands
this; he knows that his obligations

Now let me see. Oh yes. remem-
Der now. Kind Nanny Jill had
helped Little Jack Rabbit find again
the Flower of Youth. Then, off he
started again for dear Uncle Lucky s
little white house on the corner of
Lettuce Avenue and Carrot Street
Rabbitville.
BY and by, a great cloud Of dust
arose in the distance. Shifting the
air anxiously, Dapple Gray asked:
WHO is it rides SO furiously
toward us?"
But before there was time to an
swer, a man on foam covered
steed drew rein
rs this Little Jack Rabbit"
1T is" answered the bunny boy.
Then. make haste, little rabbit"
replied the horseman. ''for your dear
Uncle Lucky is dangerously ill"
"Oh, dear me. When the little
bunny heard that, he was sick at
heart. But, wasn't 1t lucky, he had
the Flower of Youth?
Dear Dapple Gray" he whispered
to his faithful steed. Run as you
never ran before. Take me to dear
Uncle Lucky"
Away sped the little pony, and
pretty soon the horseman was left
