Writes About Formula
For Buchanan Punch

The following is from the pen
of Miss jefferson Bell in Fridays
Miami Herald. Miss Bell is not
only a facile and interesting
writer, but a bon vivant and a
Princess of epicures. The formula
for Buchanan punch was given to
Judge Browne by Lieutenant
Harry Kimmel of the navy over
forty years ago, and was fire.
quently made by Judge Browne
when only discriminating people
made and drank punch:
eff you lived at Key West dur
ing the years of its Importance
as a naval station you still have
fragrant memories of Buchanan
punch as made from the original
recipe of Admiral Buchanan,
whose frame is perpetuated in
this drink. This recipe was given
to me by Judge Jefferson B.
Browne, native jurist and epicure
of Key West:
"Peel one dozen Sicily lemons
and soak peel overnight in one
quart of brandy. Next day add
another quart of brandy and two
of bacardi, two pounds of Loaf
sugar and the juice of IL lemons
Add three quarts of boiling milk

Offsets To Letter
Cleveland Roberts asked per-
mission to read a letter he had re-
ceived from the plant board. The
gist of the communication is that
should the board arrive at the
Roberts home when clothes are
on the line the members of the
board would assist in taking
down the apparel and after spray
ing operations replace the items
on the line.
Mr.. Roberts objected to this
letter and considered the offer
an insult, for the reason that no
family wanted the intimate OBJ
jects of wearing apparel, es-
pecially those. used by women,
handled by others.
Mr.. Roberts was the last per-
son to address the meeting and
when he had concluded Chairman
Carl Bervaidi. OF the board OF
commissioners, stated it was the
sense Of the body that all CO.
operation possible, and within the
law. would be given the DIRECTORS.
Attorney William v. Albury
asked Mr.. Caro- what form he
thought the objection should take,
and Mr., Caro- replied that a tele-
gram sent the governor asking
that an investigator be sent to
Key West to inquire into the
situation and conduct an open
hearing would get results. In the
meantime, Mr.. Caro- assured, his
clients he would concur strictly
in the rulings of the circuit court.
AT the conclusion of the reg
ular meeting Attorney Albury
framed the telegram according to
the suggestion made by Mr.. Caro-,
and it was sent to Tallahassee.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, August I4.-Revenues
OF the telephone industry are re.
spending emphatically to the quicken.
ing tempo Of business and social ac-
tivities. according to the Standard
Statistics Co. Of New York. Despite
rate reductions and the still rising
tax burden, earnings this year will
closely approach those Of 1881. The
latter was by no means q Door year,
as telephone company earnings did
not fall away sharply until late in
1892.
Since the low for the depression
l6,7ll,000 in lS33-the number Of
telephones in service has increased
about 1,190 900, or slightly more than
per cent. OF this gain, approxi-
mately 475,000 new connections. rep
resenting nearly 40 per cent of the
entire recovery, were made In the first
half Of the current year. Indications
are that the aggregate number Of
telephones in the United States on
July / was 1900, 900, or only 1l4
per cent below the peak Of 2o,2o1, 600
In 1880.
Further progress along the upward
curve Of cyclical recovery in the
United States should see telephones
IN service topping all previous records
within the next two years.

OIL INDICTMENTS.
Effect on Industry Will Be
Slight, According to
Standard Statistics.
srecial Dispatch to The Star.

81 Tecial Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, August 14.-Other
than the wide publicity likely to be
given to the proceedings, it is din
cult to see how the oil industry will
be affected by the Wisconsin Federal
grand jury indictment OF "a oil COM
panies and individuan for alleged
gasoline price fixing activities in vio-
lation Of antitrust laws, observes the
Standard Statistics Co. of New York.
The indictment Is viewed as merely
another chapter in the long history Of
litigation in which the industry has
been involved since the dissolution of
the Standard OIL trust in 1911. OF
more Importance to the outlook at this
time Is the further strengthening of
the statistical position Of gasoline.
AS of August /. 1885, total gasoline
inventories amounted to 1882, 900
barrels, decline of 992, 900 barrels
from the total a week earlier, COM
pared with the average weekly decline
for the past nine weeks Of 753, 5000
barrels. The latest reported stocks
represented 42.S days supply at the
present estimated rate of consump-
ton. compared with 408 days supply
q year ago at the rate of consumption
then prevailing.
1t Is now strongly indicated that
gasoline inventories will be reduced
sufficiently by the end of the present
heavy consuming season to insure
fairly well-maintained prices during
the flnal months Of the year.

SMALL LAG SEEN
IN RETAIL TRADE
Laid to Warm Weather;
Wholesale Advance Is
Widened in Week.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated PTe8S.
NEW YORK. August 14.-There was
little change In the tempo OF trade
and industry this week, according to
Dun d Bradstreet.
A moderate slackening In retail
buying was attributed to the exhaus-
ton Of Summer stock and to high tenn
peratures, which detected interest
from early Fall displays.
In wholesale markets, the review said
today, previous gains were widened,
with more orders coming from some
Of the drought districts. General in
dustrial operations were steady, lower
rates In some divisions being counter
balanced by Q rising trend In others.
Summer Stocks Dwindle.
Even though retail sales were main
tanned close to the 1881 level" the
agency reported, consumer buying
was not 20 brisk as during the OPEN
ing week Of the month. The dwindling
stocks of Summer merchandise re-
duced the usual number Of clearance
sales, and the acquisition Of Fall goods
was hampered by the hot weather.
Sales Of fur garments were reported
as double last years by some retailers,
and buying was substantial in Winter
cloth coats. In furniture, house fur
nishings and floor coverings interest
continued unabated. School clothing
has started to move, and sales OF dry
goods and groceries increased"
For the country Is q whole, the
agency estimated retail sales were
from IL to Is per cent ahead Of the
1885 comparative. In the New England
States the increase was lowered slightly
to 10 to Is per cent. Buying power
in the East was well maintained, the
average being II to 20 per cent ahead
Of last year.
Western Sales Increase.
In the West where the heaviest rains
in more than q month increased pros
poets for farmers, sales gained 10 to
Is per cent. In the Northwest they
rose from 10 to II per cent. For the
Southern States q gain Of 10 to 20 per
cent was reported, and for the Pacific
Coast it was estimated IL to IS per
cent ahead.
Buying ut wholesale proceeded un-
mindful Of the smaller gains recorded
temporarily for retail distribution, the
Review said.

Prices of Export

Domestic Level
Ey the Associated Press.

ks the ASSOCIATED PreSS.
NEW YORK, August 14.-Export
copper prices pushed further into new
high ground today to draw abreast of
the domestic level of 9.75 cents a
pound and score another new top
since mid-1931.
Copper circles were reported still
divided as to the advisability of a
boost in the American price for the
red metal
A deadlock was said to exist be-
tween those producers who considered
a further rise justified by the brisk
export demand and those who believed
that q lift on top of the 4 cent in
crease in July would engender sales
resistance on the part of American
consumers.
Trade circles said sales in the do
mestic market Thursday were by FAR
the highest for any day this month
and the best since July %, Just before
the last increase in prices from 9la to
81 cents a pound.
Yesterdays total was estimated at
3.275 tons, against 85l tons Wednes-
day and 2,132 tons Tuesday.
