Out of this, all members inter

apparently invented in time for use
at the worlds fair at st. Louis in
1904.
BY 1915 refrigeration, pasteuriza-
ton, and homogenization had been
developed and the amount of ice
cream used increased enormously.
Although only few states insist
on pasteurization of the mixture to
be frozen for ice cream, the neces-
sites of manufacture have brought
about the introduction of modern
machines which insure to most users
a clean and safe product.
Much depends, however, on the
ice cream purchase. The consumer

SouthpaW Eulogy

THIS column started as q de-
l. Tense of the present congress,
but I must note at least one more
reservation in my enthusiasm for
the current statesmen. Unlike most
parliaments, there is very little CO.
hesion among the contending
forces.
You can not say in many in
stances, "The liberals voted for this
measure, and the conservatives were
aligned against it." People change
trenches with amazing rapidity, and
if La Toilette stands in one debate
pointing the finger of scorn at Reed
of Pennsylvania, the very next bill
may find them buddies in arms.
Aside from certain standpatters
who know every minute just what
they are about, very few senators
or representatives have any such
thing as a definite political or eco
nomic philosophy. Congress oper-
ates under the atch-as-catch-ca
theory. 1t is a great pity that there
is not single radical in either
body Even if there were no more
than one or two it would help enor-
mously to clarity the legislative is
sues.

Ice Cream Clean, Safe, Satisfactory Food

TN general, ice cream today is safe,
4 clean, and satisfactory food, and
the summer consumption in the
United States is tremendous.
In early days, ice cream was
made with eggs and custards and
had the disadvantage of including
germ communications. The germs
thrived particularly in the egg and
custard mixture so that reports of
disease due to ice cream were fairly
frequent between 1897 and 1905.
Up to 1926, total of thirty-ive
epidemics traceable to ice cream
had been discovered.
However. one need not today fear
infection from most manufactured
ice creams. In well-regulated COM
munitieS, the mixture is pasteurized
before freezing and the process
serves to kill the germs of typhoid
fever, diphtheria, and even those of
tuberculosis.
According to David w. Horn, the
first ice cream manufactured for
wholesale distribution in the United
States was developed in Baltimore

Indiana Governor Fears Too

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. October T.
With the rapid approach of repeal
OF the eighteenth amendment, Gov
Paul V. McNutt has asked ATTORNEY
General Phillip LutZ. jr.. to look into
the situation as it Will affect Indiana.
At present whisky is sold in Indiana
drug stores upon prescription only, the
States main concern being to collect
25 cents tax upon each pint. Since
the ban was lifted that excise has
brought to the State Splits
Gov. McNutt is not anxious to call a
special session of the Legislature to pass
upon the regulation of liberated
whisky, largely because of the cost in
volved. 1t is likely that If a legal wav
can be found. the control of hard
liquor will be by regulation. The State
sale of beer and other Intoxicating
drinks invests the excise director. Paul
Fry. with wide regulatory powers and
some take the position that he can thus
effectively dispose of the hard liquor
problem.
Gov. McNutt is opposed to the sale
of whisky in connection with beer.
drinking upon the premises where it is
sold. That means. therefore. that any
plan devised probably will call for pack
age sales. Drug stores are now licensed
to retail bulk whisky and it is the COM
mon impression they will become the
dispensaries when a change is made.
Hotel men. however, are clamoring
for the right to serve cocktails and
highballs with meals and the Governor
is described as looking with favor on
their pleas. Restaurant men are de-
the same privileges and the
Governor is apprehensive that if too
much latitude is permitted, Indiana
would see the return of the old-fash-
ioned saloon, to which he. in common
with both the national and State Dem
ocratic platforms, is opposed.
Manufacture and sale of 80 beer
has proved boon to Indiana in the
form of governmental income A total
April Z. Of this 81 .021 ,971 was derived
from permits alone.
Six Indiana breWeries, all that have
gone into operation so far, have paid
in Sl57,73396 under the scent gal
lonage tax, while the 10 Importers have
paid in S91,280.98 on beer imported
from other States. This shows the ef-
feet of Indiana's law which was devised,
by setting up importers to handle out
side beer, to give native industries pref
erence.
TWenty-one breweries in all have
been licensed by the State, but outside
the six in operation the others are
either in process of construction or
still in the promotion stage. Several
will go into business in the Spring
when the beer business revives after
the Winter months.
