dreds of her. The hockey pokey ice
cream man arrived three or four
years ago, by leaps and bounds, and
is now a familiar sight in any part
of London, every afternoon and eve

firm alone has 1900 men, on three
wheeled bicycles, who sell ice cream
sandwiches for penny. and recent
ly another firm, with the same con-
veyance for carving the ice cream
packs, started with young women as
dispensers.
The contention is made that girls
naturally take more interest in

ity to make friends more quickly and

TIMBER, DAMAGED
BY FIRE, DROUTH
MSOUTH, SALVAGED

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2S.-Prac-
tically all the timber damaged by fire
and drouth in the past year in the
South as been snlvaged, according to
the members of the Southern Logging
Congress, in session here last week.
Considerable interest has been man.
ifested lately by individuals interest
cd in southern timber as to the actual
damage dono, and a canvass was
therefore made of the loggers to de-
termine the loss in each locality.
Out of % big logging operations re-
porting only one showed any large
percentage of damaged timber unsal-
vaged. Many gave the loss rs too
small to check, and where estimates
were given by others the figures
showed the loss to be about one-half
of / per cent of the value of the
tract.
These statements, balanced against
recent report of $27,OO0,00O fire
loss in the South last year in both
young and old timber, are reassuring.
The loss in matured timber in the
South, based on the reports Of the
three southern states employing for
cstcrs, Texas, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, which was 8, 16 and 10 per
cent. respectively, of the total. brings
an average of about Is per cent. The
mature timber damage was therefore
about $4,OO0.0OO. of which so per
cent was salvaged. leaving an actual
loss Of about 100000, which is in
the neighborhood of one-half of cent
an acre, distributed over the entire
South.
