Eighteenth Century Ice Cream

The famous Josiah Wedgwood,
English ceramic maker of the
Eighteenth century, listed "ice
cream cups" again and again on
his price cards, showing that even
in that day this dessert was known.
In fact, recipe for making it was
dated 1869. Fruits, sugar, and
cream combined were placed in an
earthen pot, packed with ice and
much SALT" and frozen, much as
we freeze ice cream. Washington,
Jefferson, and Madison are known
to have served it at social functions
in this country by the end of the
Eighteenth century.

1ondon Bsadge SitmHted
At Head of Navigat1

London bridge is the first or far
thest down of the bridges across
the Thames sat London. 1t is sitn-
ated at the head of navigation, about
a half mile above the Tower OF Lon
don.
But the present London bridge is
not the one celebrated in fthe nurs-
cry song, nor in the proverb to the
effect that "L6ndon bridge was
made for wise anen to pass over
and fools to pass under" That ia
NOUS sid bridge. which stood for
more than 600 years, was finally de-
molished more than century ago,
observes a writer in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
The site has probably been THE
location of a bridge fEpm very eaEly
times in LOndon's history. But the
earliest bridge in this location Is
not mentioned until the Eleventh
century. 1t was wooden struc-
ture which was destroyed by a
storm and high tide November 10,
1901.
The first stone bridge, the famous
bridge spoken Of above, was built
between l176 and 1909 on a wooden
foundation. It consisted of 20
arches. The roadway was 9zf feet
long, 60 feet above the water and
10 feet wide. Houses were built
upon the bridge, and in the course of
time it became a continuous street
with three openings or each side at
the river.
The buildings on the hridge were
repeatedly devastated by fire, most
notably in the great fire Of 1866.
The eleventh span from the South
wark end formed a drawbridge
fanked by a tower built 10 1926,
and on top of which were stuck the
heads Of persons executed for trea-
son. All the super-structures were
removed in 1857. Ie 1882 the old
bridge itself was torn down, the
new and present London bridge hay
ing been opened the year before.

The Battle of the Skagerrak

The Battle of Jutland was called
the Battle of the Skagerrak by the
Germans. 1t was fought in the North
sea between the British Grand fleet,
under Admiral Sir ]. R. Jellicoe,
and the German High Seas fleet,
under Admiral Reinhard Scheer, on
May 81, 1916. The encounter is men,
orable as being the only occasion
throughout the World war on which
the rival battle fleets met, also for
the fact that it left the British fleet
undisputed master of the German
one up to the day of the latters'
surrender.

however. will be turned over to
Congress without the unanimous
support of the Commissioners Ad-
visory Committee on Taxation,
which worked for several months on
new tax program. Futile efforts
were made at a conference yester-
day to get all members of the COM
mittee to indorse the program, but
two neutrality-suspicious. Counsel
ElWood H. Seal and John Locher,
president of the Central Labor
Union-are said to have remained
adamant in their opposition to a
sales tax.
The objection of Mr.. Seal and
Mr.. Locher to a sales tax prevented
the advisory committee last month
from submitting its own tax rec
concentrations to the tax experts.
The committee took the position it
would rather not make any rec
concentrations if it had to show the
lack of unanimity among its men,
berS.
The advisory committee does not
now intend to make any definite
recommendations, but according to
its chairman, Maj. Daniel J. Don
ovan, District auditor and budget
officer, it will send to Congress a
letter calling attention to the fact
that a majority has approved the
new program, but that a minority
group opposes the sales tax.
Mr.. Seal and Mr.. Locher are said
to favor a graduated income, tax
in lieu of a sales tax.

D. T.. Commissioners
|ndorse Proposed
New Tax Plan
Not 'IdeoI,' Declares
Hozen; Practical
Soys McCooeh

General support for the proposed
District tax plan, involving COM
bination of 2 per cent sales tax with
a graduated tax on incomes of SIS
900 year or more, was voiced today
by Commissioners Melvin c. Hazen
and David McCoach, jr.
Commissioner HaZen said he did
not regard the tax plan as ideal"
but said the work of the experts
and the Advisory Committee rep
resented a good compromise and
hoped it would be adopted. Col.
McCoach termed the report "a
practical solution"
In his discussion of the sales tax
portion of the plan, which would
exempt medicines and food for home
consumption, but apply the tax to
restaurant meals of Is cents or more,
Commissioner Hazen said:
"It may seem tough to have to
pay a tax on a 25-cent meal in a
restaurant, but I'll go along with
the recommendations of our Ad-
visory Committee. I believe the
group has done a good job. They
made a careful study and, although
the results may not be completely
satisfactory to every one, the rec
ommenda tions represent a sound
compromise between advocates of a
sales tax as against an outright in
come levy.
II share the belief that the plan
as proposed can be enacted into law
and I hope Congress will agree on
it since it represents the basis for a
decent tax bill for the District. If
the proposed plan is adopted we
will not have to continue running
the District on stop-gap fiscal legis-
lation from year to year."
Mr.. Hazen agreed there would be
some difficulties in enforcement of
the program and said there no doubt
may be tendency to chisel in con-
nection with the exemptions under
the sales tax.
Col. McCoach restricted his COM
ment to this statement:
Il believe the experts employed by
Congress CDR. Chester Pond, the spe-
cial consultant, and Colin F. STAN,
chief of staff of the Congressional
Joint Committee on Internal Reve-
nue. Taxation and the Commits
sioners' Advisory Committee) gave a
great deal of study to the problem
and I think the proposed plan rep
resents a practical solution"

Truscott's Promotion
To Captain Approved

Police 1t. Floyd Truscott becomes
a captain next Monday. His pro-
motion was approved yesterday by
the District Commissioners.
1t. Truscott is one of the best
known and most successful investi-
gators in the department. He is
credited with solving the mistaken
identity murder of Allen Wilson,
newspaper carrier, by hired assassins
in a gambling war several years ago
and has figured in many other mys-
teries. He was on duty recently at
the sixth precinct but at present is
detailed at headquarters.
The new captain is expected to be
assigned to command the tenth pre-
cinct, succeeding Capt. Ira Sheetz,
who died recently.
Others whose promotions were ap-
proved were Sergt. Paul L. Barnes,

More Expensive
Name for School
Raises Problem

What a whale of a difference
few letters make!
When the School Board renamed
the new Lenox Vocational School
the Chamberlain Vocational School
1t didn't count the letters or, for
that matter, think it necessary to
do so.
The members have been advised
however. an additional expense
would be incurred to modify the con-
tract to change the lettering on the
new building, and, according to the
Commissioners, this cost cannot be
incurred from the available appro-
priation.
The Commissioners have suggest
ed two courses of action:
l. Keep the Lenox lettering.
2. Leave off all lettering. At a
later date, it was thought, appro-
pirate lettering could be obtained
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent of the board, pointed out that
this second course was adopted in
the case of the Margaret Murray
Washington Vocational School years
ago.
And it still has no lettering" she
declared.

Lewis Relief Report
Called Excellent BY
Chairman Collins
Head Of House Group
Expresses Regret Probe
Was Limited

Chairman Collins of the House
Subcommittee on District Appro-
priations has entered discussion of
the results of the relief investigation
by Burdette G. Lewis with decla-
ration that he thought the report
was "eXcellent'
Mr. Collins added
I'm view of the lack of funds and
other difficulties, the director of the
investigation necessarily had to limit
himself to consideration of only a
few of the relief cases. 1t is pity
that all of them could not have been
investigated. 1 am certain that if
this was done tremendous additional
savings would result"
Congress made available out of
District revenues $4,000 for the in
vestlgatlon, which lasted from last
May to December. Mr.. Lewis. late
last year. said he needed more time
to make an adequate survey of the
entire problem. Ringgold Hart,
chairman of the Relief Investigation
Advisory Committee, insisted a
worthwhile report could be made
in the time specified by Congress.
Discussion Continues.
Discussion continued today over
the statement of Chairman Fred
erick w. McReynolds of the Board
of Public Welfare that Mr.. Lewis
had been an unsuccessful applicant
for appointment as general super
intendent of penal institutions of
the District, to succeed Capt. M. M.
Barnard, since deceased.
Mr.. Lewis denied he had been an
applicant. but agreed he had con-
suited with welfare officials. He
said his recollection was this dis
cussion was over proposed plans for
reorganization of the District penal
program.
Welfare Board officials refrained
from comment on the case today,
but official records of the board.
which were made available, showed
Mr.. Lewis was interviewed in Sep
tember, 1884, by two members of
the Boards Penal Committee, Judge
M. M. Doyle, chairman, and Dr..
Worth B. Daniels.
Bates Suggested Lewis.
When the Welfare Board began a
survey of possible candidates for the
penal job, the records showed, they
asked Sanford Bates, then director
of the United States Prison Bureau,
to suggest eligibles and one of the
names was that of Mr.. Lewis.
In response to query sent to Mr..
Lewis, the records showed, Mr..
Lewis sent in a four-page, SINGLE
spaced, typewriter record of his
experience. In addition to this there
was an excerpt from a statement by
DR.. Albert Shaw, editor of the Re-
view of Reviews magazine, dated De-
cember, 1922, concerning Mr.. Lewis
Thereafter Mr.. Lewis came to
Washington and was interviewed by
the two members of the Penal Com
mittee, according to the minutes of
the Welfare Board.
Sometime later, after Capt.
Barnard had retired, the Commits
sioners appointed Ray L. Huff to the
penal superintendency
