ICE CREAM GAINS
: |NFAVOR IN YEAR
25.000,0O0 More Gallons Are
SoId-Many Notable
Mergers Arranged.
BY j. c. ROYL.E.

Special Dispatch To The star.
NEW YORK. December 3o.-When
the American public finishes its des-
sert New Year eve at least 100000 600
gallons of ice cream will have been
absorbed during 1925. This is a gain
Of some 5000, 900 gallons. IT is &C
counted for 10y the drouth and hot
weather which prevailed in many
sections in the last Summer and by
the tendency toward consolidation OF
producing companies, which has cut
costs.
The utilization Of special cold
storage trucks has expedited distri.
button and the development of the
electric refrigerators has enabled re-
tail dealer; to keep their supplies in
better condition and with less waste
than ever before.
Many Mergers Noted.
In late years. even short, cool sum
mers have not SuffiCed to check IN
cre9 sed consumption. but production
is passing into fewer and stronger
hands. There has been a distinct fali-
ing off in the number of individual
manufacturers since 1928, when there
We're over 200 separate concerns.
Consumption is due undoubtedly TO
the advertising campaign to which the
industry has devoted itself. Hitherto
increase has come of its own volltlon.
or through scattered efforts of indb
vidual producers. Emphasis is now
being laid on the food value of Ice
cream. and the advertising campaign
stressing dietary value is counted on
still further to increase sales.
This has forced the industry to stand
ardize its products and improve It's,
quality Manufacturing costs in in
dividual plants have therefore been
trendinG upward, but ice cream is no
longer purely q local product and is
now being merchandiZed on national
scale. with numerous companies con-
trolling plants in many widely sepa-
rated centers.
These mergings of individual con-
Germs have tended TO advantage In
purchases of raw materials and sup
plies and have minimized distribution
costs. One company. for example.
now the largest concern in the indus
try. has plants from New York to
Chicago and plans to extend its &C
tivities over a still wider field.
At present. 10 TO Is companies or
groups of companies stand out in the
expansion of distribution. There are
several of these which already are
considering plans for further mergers
among themselves. One merger just
completed has placed the south from
Maryland to Florida within range of
it's trucks. Particular efforts are
being made to take advantage of the
Florida boom this Winter. and both
dairy and ice cream plants will he
operated throughout that State this
Winter on a large scale.
Another merger pending may throw
large companies with plants in Cleve-
land Detroit and Washington into
one. which will also absorb other com
panies to form one of the larger dis
tributing concerns.

President Scores Attempts
to Influence Through

OMAHA, Oct. 6.-P)-President
Coolidge, addressing the American Le-
gion convention here today, declared
that the result of the World War will
be lost and the nations of the world
will prepare for another conflict I'M
less racial antagonisms are demobilizcd

Is created.
~If our country is to.have any posi-

it may be in that direction. and I be-
lieve that the place where it should be.
gin is at home"
Asserting that no nation ever had
or ever will have an army large enough
to. guarantee it against attack in time
of peace or to insure its victory in war,
the President said that "peace> and Sc.
curity are more likely to result from
lair and honorable dealings and mu-
tual agreements for a limitation Of
ornaments among the nations than by
any attempt at competition in squad
rons and bsttalions."
MONEY FOR HOMES.
mo doubt this country he con.
tinued, could, if it wished to spend
more money, make a better military
force, but that is only part of the
problem that confronts the govern
ment. The real question is whether
spending more money to make bet
ter military force would really make
better country.
II would be the last to disparage the
military art. 1t is an honorable and
patriotic calling of the highest rank.
But l can see no merit in any I'M
necessary expenditure of money to hire
men to build fleets and carry muskets
when international relations and
agreements permit the turning of such
resources into the making of good
roads, the building of better homes, the
promotion of education and all the
other arts of peace which minister to
the advancement of human welfare
Avoiding direct refersrce to any
specific situation, Mr.. Coolidge 'cx.

DANGEROUS UNDERTAKING.
1T is for this reason that any or

for the purpose of forcing government
