The First Ice Cream Soda.

The ice cream soda was first con-
cocted in Philadelphia in 1874 by Rob
ert M. Green, according to informa-
ton quoted in an article by Norman
S. Hall in the Liberty Magazine. cat
that time Hall explains, Green was
serving soda water and ice cream, but
always separately.
Having obtained a permit to dis
pense these delicacies at an exposition
conducted by the Franklin Institute of
Philadelphia" the writer continues,
she looked about for some novelty to
attract patrons to his booth. Why
not thought he, mix the ice cream
with the charged water and flavoring?'
He did, and ice cream soda, the
American national drink was born,
1t found immediate favor. and shortly
thereafter Fred Sanders of Detroit
adopted the practice, advertising it
widely, and is credited with having
done even more than Mr.. Green to
establish the new decoction."

The chief of the bureau or lnforma-

The denial Is considered necessary be-
cause anti.Japanese propaganda, es-
pecially reports of the movement OF

"a friendly and helpful policy
toward China and maintenance OF
trade are absolutely vital to Japan,
he saws. There is no prospect OF an
immediate settlement or restoration OF
order, but Japan cannot unity the

BEN|V|E BENSON IS HIGHLY IND|CNANT
 OVER FLAG CHARGE
NOT AWARE BRITAIN CONTROL
 LED PERMANENT IN ADDITION TO THE WAVES

Bennie Benson is highly indignant.
 Bennie is also hurt.
 ] He is indignant because William Simpson of Vancouver, B. C., says he copied Simpsons design for the Alas ka flag.
 He is hurt because Stroller White, in quoting Simpson, referred to him as breed" pupil at the Jesse Lee Home.
 Bennie says he would be proud to be called an Aleut, or white boy, but the use of the term breed" is too off, ten employed as an obnoxious term.
 However, Bennie strikes back at MT. Simpson something like Jack Demp- sey shot that punch to the centre of MT. Sharkey's warehouse.
 T was not aware that Great Britain in addition to claiming to rule the waves, included the Armament with the Big Dipper and the North Star"
 Bowie! MT. Referee count slowly.
 Bonnie rallied from the sting of MT. Simpsons aspersions of plagiarism long enough to allow his fighting blood to rise. He says the children of the Jesse Lee Home are taught something different from deceit and falsehood. He is not in the habit of employing either. As for Mir! Simpson, he has never heard of the gentleman, nor that there was anyone in Canada laboring to give the Dominion a distinctive flag of its own. He has always seen the Union Jack serving as the em- blem of Britain's "Dominions beyond the seas."
 But Bennie is willing to do the Tignt thing by King George ", Emperor of India, Defender of the Faith, Ruler of the Waves, Master of the Jam Trust, Five O'Clock Tea and Cornish Pasties. If he can be shown that he has trans gressed international law, the cove nant of the League of Nations and the Versailles treaty, he is willing to offer his apologies to King George to prevent war.
 As Capt Ralph Guthrie with squad |of doughboys,- raised the flag and it was accepted by the American Legion Bennie believes he has, as Mark Twain suggested, "his gang" with him | if anybody starts something.
