WHEN ICE CREAM
WAS A NOVELTY
Dolly" Madison First To Introduce
Frozen Dainty.

According to statistics the con-
sumption of ice cream is about three
gallons for every man, woman and
child in the United States. Every
where you go nowadays you can buy
it in bulk, in bricks-and in all
colors. 1t forms the basis of ice
cream sodas, nut sundaes and other
weird but delightful drinks.
1t was different early in the
nineteenth century. Ice cream was
then comparatively unknown. New
Workers knew of it, as ice cream
was actually advertised in New York
papers as early as 1856. But Wash
ington, which in those days set the
styles in everything from wearing
apparel to eatables, had not taken
up this new confection.
According to one of many legends,
Dolly" Madison, most charming of
all mistresses of the White House.
introduced ice cream to ia sh'onable
and official Washington 1t is SAID
that throughout the administration
of President James Madison, ice
cream was served at receptions and
dinners. Apparently, Dolly" loved
the new dainty and wanted her
friends to share her pleasure.
In 1866 the Breyer family in
Philadelphia began making remark
able grade of ice cream. 1t was so
different from ordinary ice cream
that Breyers quickly attained local
fame, and today the name is of
national Importance in the ice cream
field. They are the largest produc-
ers of ice cream in the world. Their
new plant in Long Island City has
the largest capacity in New York.

LOCAL COMPANIES
AND RURAL LINES

Two hundred and twenty-three in
dependent telephone companies, sup
plying local service and managed
locally, are connected to the toll lines
of The Bell Telephone Company Of
Pennsylvania, says the annual report
of the Bell Company, just released.
These companies serve total Of
160,016 telephones throughout the
State.
In addition, there are 1905 so called
rural lines which enjoy the same Bell
toll connections. They serve 1888
telephones and are owned by groups
of individuals who do not operate
switchboards. These lines are con-
nected to Bell switchboards for both
local ard toll service.

port of The Bell Telephone Company
of Pennsylvania, just released. Toll
calls each day during 1925 averaged
10000.
These figures represent the high
water mark in the use of the tele-
phone in Pennsylvania. In 1924 local
calls averaged 100000 daily, and
toll calls amounted to daily average
of approximately 10000.
Despite the increasing complexity
Of telephone traffic, improvement in.
the methods Of handling the calls has
been made, remarks the report. Espe-
cially is this true, it says, in the mat
ter Of increasing the speed and accu-
racy Of out-of-town telephone connec-
tions.
