American Legion
Hopes for New Home
In Waterville Soon

Members of the George y. Bourque
Post of the American Legion felt much
nearer having home of their own
uiar meeting last evening, DIR. J. T.
Hill, member of the Fathers Coun-
ell and always staunch friend of the
post, announced that he had secured
an option on the Plaisted property on
Appleton street. opposite the Ellls
building. and that he would turn the
option over to the members of the
post if they should desire it. DR.. Hill
said that he had always had the in
terests of the post close at heart and
he had conducted a quiet investigation
of the property with the welfare of
the members in view. 1t was also an
nounced that Horace True Muzzey, the
Waterville architect, has offered to
make a tentative sketch of the build
ing as il might be adapted to the
needs of the post. The property If it
were to come into the hands of the
post would make an ideal home. The
house is one of the oldest in the city
but it is in first class condition and
contains ample room for all the needs
of the post. A large lot of land is also
included in the property. 1t was point
ed out that q one-story auditorium
could easily be built at the rear of
the house. The legionaires were very
favorable to DR.. Hills announcement
and Commander WEIGH named COM
mittee to take care of the matter.
John r. Choate reported on the
membership drive which is now go
ing on and he was most optimistic.
Thus far 81 paid members have been
taken into the post and there are as
many more prospective members. The
general committee in charge Of the
drive dined at the Young China restau-
rant last evening, where plans were
discussed.
At the meeting next Monday eve
ming the football teams of the Water
Vile and Winslow High schools viii
be guests Of the post and an appropri-
ate program will be arranged for
them. The meeting was placed in the
hands of a committee made up of
Comrades Bradley, Drummond, Mar
den, Boudreau and Sahagian
A letter from the superintendent of
the Waterville evening schools was
read which urged the legionaires to
get behind the schools and to support
them in every way possible. The let
ter points out the fact that there are
about 700 illiterate people in the city
of Waterville alone.
NPlans for the big Christmas meet
ing and celebration were put under
way and those on the committee are

Kiwanians Hear
Talk on History
OF Modern Ice Cream

A. r. Sanborn of the Purity Ice
Cream Co. was the speaker at the
regular meeting of the Waterville
kiwanis club at the Elmwood hotel
last evening, taking for his subject,
"A Short History of the Ice Cream
Industry"
In part Mr.. Sanborn said, '1ce
cream seems such a simple and log
ical sort of food that it is difficult
for the present generation to realize
that it is but comparatively few
years since ice cream was almost
Unknown. 1t does not equire an
octogenarian, Of course, to remember
back to the days when ice cream
was a luxury to be INDUCED in only
on very special occasions.
ut was about 1850 that cream was
first used to make a sort of frozen
custard. How to make this frozen
dainty long remained a highly priced
secet among a few French and Ger
man cooks. Ice cream was first in
troduced into England during the
reign Of Charles l when it was serv-
ed at banquet given by the king.
ice cream was first sold in this
country in New York City. A Mr..
Hall offered the frozen dessert at
rs Chatham street, now Park row.
Ice cream is mentioned in an account
of ball given by Mrs. johnson
on December II, 1889.
Il will pass lightly over the de-
Eelopment of the freezing appara-
titus. The first freezer was simply
one pan placed inside another with
ice cream and salt between, the in
ner pan being rotated by the left
hand while the ice cream was scrap
ed from the side of the pan with a
spoon held in the right hand.
The development of artificial refrig-
Grafton had an important influence
upon the ice cream industry even
though the effect was at first indi-
rect.
"How to get the public to buy ice
cream was a long and troublesome
question. The public insisted on
thinking of ice cream as luxury
a dainty to be INDUCED in only on
very special occasions. and usually
only in the hotter weather. Some OF
the devices that have been developed
to tempt the public into buying ice
cream were very clever indeed.
1.-The ice cream cone Is said to nave

position. AS the story gees. a broth

one selling ice cream and the other
q sort of fritter. Business was rath-
err slow and the one selling the fritz
ters rolled it into a sort of cone
shape and asked the other to put
dish of ice cream intosit. 1t was
found to be so pleasing that they i'm
mediately joined forces and were
soon swamped with business"
Following the talk which was high
ly appreciated a motion picture or
the making of ice cream was shown
the members by DR.. Coombs of the
State Health department.

Judge Sustained
Sugar Contract Case

Opinion just handed down by the
Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston
affirming the judgment for the
American Sugar Refining Company
in its suit to recover on contracts
made in June, 1920. with the MILL
ten Tomlinson Company of this city
is of much interest here as it is ex-
pected to have a direct bearing on
similar cases pending in which sew
eral other Portland companies are
involved.
The opinion upholds in all points
the rulings made by the District
Court at Portland in Nov. 1923. when
the suit was tried before Judge John
A. Peters and jury. Damages of $14,-
ITS plus interest amounting to
s2,769.23 were awarded the plaintiff
company at that time.
This decision in the first Of tho
so-called sugar cases" to be tried in
Maine brings to close a long
sought legal battle.
The plaintiff company was repre-
scented by Pattangall. Locke & Per-
kins of Augusta, Verrill, Hale, Booth
d. Ives of Portland, and Hull e. Alb
bott of New York City. These legal
firms We're represented at the trial
by Messrs. William r. Pattangall,
Leon V. Walker and Joseph F. Alb
bolt, respectively, Woodman. White
house & Littlefield were counsel for
the defendant company.
The suit was entered in Septem-
Der, 1921. the American Sugar Com
pany alleging that the Milliken Tom
linson Company had failed to take
delivery of 500 barrels of sugar con-
tracted for In June, 1920. to be ship
ped in September of the same year.
Evidence introduced at the trial the
following year showed that the price
of sugar had undergone a radical
drop of about s cents a pound in the
interval between the contract date
and the date for delivery. After a
lengthy hearing in which the battle
of wits made legal history i'm this
city, the jury returned a verdict of
S14.S15 damages and interest of So
1928, the latter item being figured
from the date for delivery.
The defendant company immediate
~ took an appeal. setting up more
than 100 assignments of error on the
part Of the judge conducting the trial.
The next chapter in the case took
place before the Circuit Court of APP
peals in Boston last April Points
argued by the opposing attorneys
before this tribunal proved as inter
esting as the original trial.
The opinion just handed down up
holds the rulings of the trial judge
on all of the more than 100 points in
which it was claimed by the de-
PENDANT, that the judge had ruled er-
roneously.

Regular Sorosis Meeting


The regular meeting of Sorosis
was held in the library parlors Mon
day evening with Mrs. Ethel Hilton,
the president, in the chair. Mrs.

ports for the last two meetings were

The first number on the program
was a piano trio by the Misses Ber-
tina Norton. Esther Jenkins and Hen
rietta Page. The president spoke Of
several matters of business among
them the sale of Christmas seals and
appointed Mrs. Laura Twadell, Mrs.
Lou Eames and Mrs. Edna Jenkins
as a committee to have charge of
them.
As this was Sorosis health night
Dr. Howard Hill of Waterville was n
very fitting person to address the
club and at this point Mrs. Hilton
introduced him. DR.. Hill chose as
his subject the eyes and spoke in a
very instructive manner as to their
care, urging great precaution in pre-
venting rather than correcting eye
trouble. The program closed with a
piano duet by Mrs. Christine Day
and Miss Myra Akeley. They re-
Sponded to an encore.
At the close of the meeting, re-
freshments of tea, sandwiches and
