'CLUTTERED ICEBOXES DELAY
 THE HARD WORKING ICEMAN
National Association of Ice Industries Complies Statistics Which
 Prove Interesting

Chicago, July 12.-Your iceman, provided he has an average route and distributing terrory in the residen- tial district. shoulders two tons of ice day, carrying each piece a dis tance of 50 feet, according to sur- vey compiled by the National Associa- tion of Ice Industries.
 These 1000 pounds of ice are di- vided among approximately so refrig- orators, the survey shows, and the field of work covers an average dis tance of two miles.
 An ability to stand the physical strain, at threat of impairing health, bothers the iceman less than in keeping on schedule, the. associa- tion says which is cndeavoring to put ice routes on the same basis of punc- tuality as the transportation systems.
 "The iceman's greatest trouble is keeping on scheduled time, because housewives frequently think he also is an expert in arranging their perish- ables to the best possible cooling re- suits. Often he has 10 unpack and re- pack the ice chamber. This is the outstanding cause of delayed serv- ice
 "The delivery systems are being re- modelled and improved and some have so nearly perfected their systems that schedules are al- most as accurate as that of passen- ger train. That is our aim"

MADDO IS LOYAL

New York, July 12. William c. McAdoo, roped into an impromptu ad- dress at a theater which he attend ed last night, came out fatly in sup port of the democratic presidential nominee.
 Now that the convention is over" said Mir. McAdoo, lets all get to- gether behind the democratic candi- date and elect him"
 The former presidential aspirant was induced to address the theater audience when he was recognized from the stage by Will Rogers, writer comedian who was appearing in the show. It required considerable insist ence from both the actor and the audience 10 induce Mir. McAdoo to speak.
 Really. I thought I was done with politics" he began protestingly
 "You are" Rogers cut in and the house rocked with laughter.
 That broke the floodgstes of re- serve and the Californian, describing himself as resident of New York city for so years. launched into a plea for support for the democratic nom inee.

ANDY THANKS MARY
 FOR GROUP PHOTO
Makes Comments on Picture
 Sent to Him
(contributed.)

Mary Ann:
 I thank you very much for the fam.
 fly group photograph which you sen
 me c. o. D. I showed 1t to Ma and she looked at 1t without her spectacles
 on and said 1t was great and showed
 the photograph to Pa guessed Pa
 liked the photograph. He took one look at 1t and says its enough to cure his rheumatism. On account of me being smart at figures I didn't have any trouble to recognize each one after a few minutes study. will name them and you can see if am right.
 The one on the left Is your big brother Conrad, who stands six feet tall with both socks on, and in his new suit. The new suit looks kinda short or else he's in it too far. The suit must of been out all night in the rain or something and then placed in back of the stove to dry. Anyways there Is a nice belt to hold himself inside the suit. I remember the time he borrowed my suit to spend day at Lake Compounce and he fell out of a row boat and almost got drowned with my suit. So you can see how glad am he got a suit all his own.
 The one right next to him is his twin sister. Magnesia, that is the same age as him only she looks older. She is all dolled up too, only I should think that when she was having her picture taken she could at least put on stockings that matched in color if not in size.
 Leaning against the plano on the other end is your Ma, looking the trinka, that os seen holding to your Ma that she makes swell pies, and her corn beef and cabbage is great.
 Your nineteen years old sister Ka- trinka, that is seen holding to yous Mas pocketbook, reminds me of a finally gave her up when she told | me not to call on her again as she | wouldn't have anything more to do with me. After I got the jewelry | back that I had given her on her birthday, I told her just what I | thought of her. She told me if I | didn't close my face she would call her Pa and turn the dog loose. I told her to go ahead and call her old man, wasn't afraid of him or the dog either. She called. and he appeared in the doorway with his shirt sleeves rolled up. but I had already left as I didn't want to see anyone get hurt. This girl looked just like Katrinka, being as tall. only not so thick.
 Little Oscar looks too cute for any thing in his new overslls. also bit frightened, but that's probably be- cause he is surrounded by 80 many of the family. He is the exact dupli- cate of his sister Katrinks and now know where he gets that dumb look, even though he is only five years of age. : I can see your Pa plainly. standing l up with his chest throved out in the { middle. looking brave and firm. and l not bit afraid. 1 bet he don't know your Ma is watching him with . |

THEN THE AUTO HIT HIM
BY Albert Apple

We kid ourselves more than realize. For instance
it's frequently claimed that Americans are speed bugs
living at high tension rushing and hustng at
break neck pace.
We've been told this Most of US believe it. Quite nat
uraly 1t gratifies vanity fancy ourselves important
actors in environment that demands hurry.
But suppose you are city man in real rush. Trying TO
get the bank before Closes You have to dodge and
shove through crowds that haaseep and IN process
of petrifaction. The crowd slowly lazy, ambng
poky That's really the doesn't just that way
because you're in hurry.
Speed bugs? Who laughed?
Here's who works and walks eisurely on the side
walk store office factory He's the genuine typical
American.
This acquires auto AS he gtts at the
to his destination quickly.
Usually it's great rush without
Many business executive risks arrest by breaking speed
Jaws his way to the office Arrived there he calmly reads
paper goes into conference where he often Exchanges
Jokes and experiences and otherwise kills time
Or he's driving into the country to buy fresh butter
eggs To watch his auto, you'd think he diving
ambulance.
At the heart of city traffic problems is this psycholog
lica truth: We have two distinct elements to deal with.
First the autos who wants speed Second is the pcdes
jtrian. chronicay slow moving
When these two factions each others paths
have the problem when esurcly the
railroad track used by fast trains
Traffic cops try slow down the motorists and speed
the pedestrians ntncvey they attempt to bring the two
streams of traffic to about the average speed.
1t can't be DONE
typical American wheels is speeder at heart. A
typical American walking wants to take his time
Eventually the big cities probably will have streets with
two levels Pedestrians will have the regular streets Autos
will travel along elevated roadways through subways.
Some such definite separation of traffic will become
sary least at street intersections if the number of autos
continues increasing.
