Summer Vacation Spending.

A dispatch from Paris tells an inter-
esting story of the repercussIon OF the
stock market collapse of last Autumn
and the present depression in American
securities upon French BUSINESS, par
ticuisrly upon the hotel and tourist ac-
commodation industry. It states that
the bottom has been virually knocked
out Of the tourist trade in France.
Many fashionable hotels on the boule-
wards which normally by this time are
full have so many empty rooms that
they have reduced their rates from the
regular charge OF two hundred francs q
day TO sixty francs. The same is true with
Desuville, lie Touquet and other water
ing places. Curiously enough, there is
considerable increase in the Gtrman
tourist traffic in France, but this has by
no means compensated the falling OF OF
the richer American patronage.
This Sugg sts that perhaps some OF
the Americans who have been regularly
going across the ocean for their sum-
mering are now seeing America, perhaps
for the first time. Maybe they nave

have started forth on expeditions OF
discovery. They will find much that Is
interesting. They will even be aston

In all the talk of wet and dry, why
has no one mentioned the chocolate
/ ice cream soda?
There is the best of all the fountain
drinks, If you ask thousands.
Strong men, weak women, tough
boys and nice little girls, one and all
point to the old original chocolate ice
cream Soda-"with vanilla cream,

Perhaps the plain vanilla soda was
| the first of the historic fountain drinks,
| but it was run close second by the
! fosming mixture based on chocolate.

reputation for being a feminine drink,
but the boys behind the counters will
tell you that more men indulge in this

The taste for chocolate is one of the
amazing things in the gustatory world.
People of all races and chimes prefer
| It. There are few persons, indeed, who
are willing to say that they do not
like 1t.
Chocolate, in one form or another,
is the universal flavor. swallowing up
vanilla, which it requires to bring out
its smooth qualities.
The old-fashioned chocolate ice cream
soda still leads at the fountains. The
writer here can recall his first lice
cream sody," at the age of about 6
years. With the early-very early
film showing the city fire engines, 1t is
among his earliest recollectionS.

was served in the village drug store, or
in room especially set up for the pur-
pose. We believe 1t was the former.

y X X
Since those days the chocolate ice
cream soda has seen many rivals, rang
ing from the "sundae," most absurd
word, to the multitudinous connections
which appear and vanish, but through
them all the foam has remained.
Some sodas are all foam, as every
addict knows. The glass is filled about
one third full of liquid, and about two
thirds "fi23," so that when one gets
down TO the most delectable part there
is practically nothing there to enjoy.
Children invariably prefer the foam.
1t has an appeal of mystery to them,
and tantadZes them with a foretaSte
of good to come.
The adult soda consumer could dis
pe0Se WIN the l11z. Inc more IlZS,
he has found, the less chocolate liquor.
There are three secrets, or perhaps
four, to the perfect chocolate ice cream
soda. There must be plenty of liquid,
it must be cold, the ice cream must be
Arm. and above all, the chocolate flavor
must be good.

There are as many chocolate tastes

though the industry has standardized
recipes for simple syrup" as 1t is
called, and the better brands of choco-
late run uniform, perhaps no two
makers get exactly the same flavor.

have the true flavor of their important
ingredient. The best of these sodaS
have plenty of water In them, permit
ting the iYnbiber to have bit of soda

ROckefelIer's Gift TO
New York Lauded

From the New York Herald Tribune.
The really magnificent conception
embodied in Mr.. Rockefeller's latest
offer of his Washington Heights prop
erty to New York City for park pur-
poses is Q little breath-taking. at once
in its generosity and in the scope OF
the development which 1t emissions.
Thirteen years ago, when Mr.. Rookie
Teller first acquired the land with the
intention of giving 1t to the city, the
Barnard collection was still in Mr..
Barnard's hands, and the idea of a
great museum building did not enter
into the project. Even so, the gen.
crosby of an offer which would have
dedicated the most commanding spot
in the city to the public, crowned the
chain of parks established along the
Hudson water front with an exception
ally fine development and secured for
the city almost the last area available
for park use anywhere near its CEN
ter, was Immediately appreciated.
Mayor Mitchell, involved in the diff
culties of the war period, was unable
10 accept the offer. In 1928, however,
Mayor Hylan was engaged upon plans
for developing the Inwood and River
side Drive Park areas, and he ap-
pointed a committee of the board of
estimate to see If the transfer could not
be arranged. 1t came to nothing, but
again in 1925, Mr.. Rockefeller was I'M
derstood to have taken up the matter
with Mayor Walker. In the mean
while. through Mr.. Rockefellers own
donation, the cloisters and their coll
lections of gothic art had passed into
the hands of the Metropolitan Museum
This now makes possible the completed
scheme, with an imposing museum
building set in appropriate surround
ings, the whole composing munificent
gift.

A Glorious Base Ball Fourth.

When the other day the Washington
ball club beat st. Louis, its perennial
bean-spiller, two games in one after
noon it was observed that only one
factor prevented perfection. That was
that the second game was not, like the
first, won by the home team in the final
inning, which is always the ideal of the
ardent rooter. Yesterday the Washing
ton contingent won another double
header, making two in one week, which
is a very commendable performance,
especially for a pennant contender.
This was a more important double
header to win than the st. Louis dual
victory, inasmuch as the victims yes
terday were the New York Yankees, who
are treading close upon the heels of the
Nationals in the pennant race.
But again the afternoons doings fell
short of perfection by single factor.
That was that the league-leading Phil
adelphians, beaten in their first contest
with the humble Bostonians, we're not
similarly treated in the second en-
counter. Had Manager Cornelius Nc
0illicuddy's Athletics lost the second
game as well, then, indeed, the sun
would have set upon a perfect day for
Washington. In that event last nights
fireworks would have cracked and
blazed upon the heads of the Senatorial
league leaders, out in front by twelve
points, whereas the rockets red glare
found them In second place by single
point.
But nobody walled bitterly over the
deficiency of yesterdays record-that
Is, nobody in Washington, unless it be
the visiting Yankees of Gotham.
Thirty-three thousand people saw the
games, turnout that has been .equaled
In this city only on the occasion of the
world series games played here, truly
sterling performance before an APP
preciative audience. And If there are
any doubters today in washington re-
garding the pennant aspirations of the
entire Washington aggregation or any
skeptics anent the bright chances of
the home team for highest honors, they
are, indeed, Sodden cynics, incurahle by
even so effective remedy for pessi-
mism as a double-header won on holi-
day from the nearest rival in the league
race.

Twenty-Three DAVIS in the Air

Late yesterday afternoon the Hunter
brothers. who have been flying over an
airfeld in Chicago for the past three
weeks and more, brought their plane to
the ground with the phenomenal record
OF $50 hours, Al minutes and 30 seconds
in the air. They had long before broken
the record of 420 hours They had
achieved their desire TO continue the
flight until Independence day. They
had set a mark for endurance that will
probably stand for some time. They
brought their ship to earth only when
it was just about ready to cease func-
tioning through the wearing out of its
motor parts. They had Just called for
more OIL and their brothers on the field
were racing to get aloft with fresh
supply when the engine vent into IT'S
last splutter and the ship was brought
gently to earth.
Quite apart from the matter of human
endurance, this performance Is astound-
ing. 1t called in the first place for an
effective organization and cooperation
between the land force and the air force
In the course Of the flight the brothers
on the ground made no less than 22S
refueling contacts. That meant leaving
the ground 223 times and maneuverins
into position for dropping q pipeline
from one plane to the other and main.
tanning a precise relationship for sew
eral minutes. When honors are paid
for this extraordinary achievement, the
men who did the essential work of re-
fusling must not be forgotten.
1t now remains for technical experts
by their examination Of the plane to
determine how fer this fight has ad-
vanced aviation. 1t has certainly DEM
onstrated that plane can be kept in
motion, continuously for more than
twenty-three days. 1t has proved
that the duration of flight,
given sturdy machine, is lin.
tied for all practical purposes
only by the supply of gas and oil, and.
of course provender Of the crew 1t
has shown that II A sufficient fuel, oil
and food supply can be assured, a ma
chine can function long enough to fly
around the world nearly twice over.
For the fight which was ended yester-
day covered, 1t Is estimated, 41,475
miles.
OF more immediate interest to the
public than even the scientific demon
strstion of the plane, City OF Chicago, Is
the question OF the reward of the Hun
ter family, brothers, sister and mother,
all of whom participated, for their
plucky and successful venture. They
are deserving OF every dollar that can
be gained from such q performance.
And 1t IA to be hoped that they will
not be mulcted OF their winnings by
the chicane Of scheners and parasites.
Their rugged qualities of character have
given them a place in the American
heart.
