seemed too funny for words, so no
one seconded the motion.
1t will be interesting to observe
just what the colonial and foreign
visitors this summer will think about
the way England puts up legal
hedges around ice cream and choco-
late candies and cigarettes and 9TH
err pleasurable commodities, soon af-
ter sunset each evening. 1t Is illegal
to buy any of them after $50 unless
n meal is ordered. Similar restric-
tons are imposed on beer and strong
er beverages after the bars close at

Most of the night time restrictions
on personal habits were imposed dur
ing the war. Some patriot conceived
the idea that the military forces of
the allies would be aided II people
gave up buying ice cream. tobacco.

late hours. 1t was argued that this
would release workers for moro es-
! sential employmentS. Doubtless it
did. And now, five years after the
armistice, the wartime restrictions
continue unrepealed. They have al

Day at G.. c. Today

The second annual Coburn Day
takes place at Coburn Classical In
stitute today. it was decided at q
meeting of the entire faculty and
student body held at the close OF
school yesterday.
Coburn Day is an affair introduced
last year by Coach Haines. In it tbs
whole school takes part and fixes
up the needs on the athletic field
and hockey rink. At the first Co.
burn Day much was accomplished,
tho largest feat was perhaps the
making. of the hockey rink. At The
second one the old Coburn spirit is

Haiti Soil to Be
DeyelOped Greatly

Port Prince, Haiti, April IL
CA. =. by MaiD-The creation OF u
technical bureau of the Haitian De-
partment of Agriculture is the new
est phase of the American admins
tration of the island. An extra
ordinary credit of $4,000 has been
voted by the Council of State TO
carry it through the initial stages,
and it has been placed under DIR.
George +. Freeman. recently nomi-
mated by President Coolidge and
confirmed by President Borno.
DIR. Freeman has just concluded
an extended personal investigation
Of the agricultural potentialities of
Haiti, and expresses great optimism
regarding it's future. Travelling for
the greater part on horseback. he
visited and questioned the small
farmers, the priests and gendarme
officers, the local dignitaries and
school teachers, and reports that he
was most favorably impressed with
the outlook.
He found large areas eXcellently
adapted to the cattle growing in
dustry, with unlimited growth of
perennial grasses. In the hill lands
he found excellent soil for yields of
grain, sugar cane, cotton, vegetable
ana fruits ana, generally speaking,
soils of good agricultural quality
that, with proper treatment, will as
sure productivity on a profitable
scale.
The climate impressed him as ad-
mirable for the production of all
tropical field crops and fruits, and
many stretches need but irrigation
necessary for economic crops, while
at present they are well adapted
for the growing of cotton, dates and
citrus fruits. The plateaus and
mountain sides are capable without
irrigation for general farming, fruit
growing and vegetable raising. Be-
tween the mountain ranges were
found level lands where large plan
tation3 of cotton sugar cane and
bananas are possible on a profitable
scale.
With the new field prctically vir-
gin, DIR. Freeman plans to build his
structure from the ground up. He
will start with the nucleus of COM
plete organization and will develop
from the Haitian people the per-
sonnet required rather than by the
employment of experts from outside
sources. The organizations will be
moulded along the lines that have
succeeded in the United States
Forestry will also come under his
supervision, and corps of trained
foresters will be developed to handle
this work.

Ice Cream HumOr
TickleS Rritishers

London, April s "a. p. by maiD-
The fun poked by Americans at the
British habit Of "pottering" around
for tea every afternoon Is mild COM
pared to the almost hilarious attitude
of the Briton toward ice cream. To
most Englishmen there seems to be
something screamingly funny about
Ice cream. The House of Commons
has seldom echoed more laughs in a
few minutes than 1t did the other day
when member asked for permission
to introduce a bill permitting the
sale of Ice cream after $50 at night.
Since the war nocturnal purchasing
or ice cream has been illegal, I'M
less it was accompanied by a meal.
The laughter broke out first when
Harry Becker, the member for Rich
mond. introduced his plea 1t waxed
louder when he said the object was
to encourage the development of ice
cream and soda fountains in this
country. At present, he said, ice
cream could be sold after $50 only
If 1t was part Of meal, and this
was vexatious infringement on the
liberties of the people. More laughter
and a few cheers. II ice cream could
not be sold after $50. the speaker
argued, 1t began to melt and bacteria
developed. Uproarous laughter. What
would the colonial and foreign visi-
tors to the Expire Exhibition think
II they could not order an ice cream
after $50, or entertain their friends
at home with mineral waters? Loud
outlaws.
Hearty old Tories shook with
amusement, back-bench Laborites
grinned. and the faces OF some of the
lady members broke out with smiles
as Mr.. Becker sat down. Then
someone added to the general mirth
by suggesting a division to let the
whole House decide whether the ice
cream bill might be presented. 1t all
