‘America to Be Engulfed in Ice Cream and Sodas You don’t knew of any small boy in Washington who ob- jects to this, do you? Statis ticians have it all figured out that the United States will consume 350 billion gallons of ice cream in 1923. This means 314 gallons for every man, woman and child in the coun- So it’s up to every small y to demand his full share. He can do this by reminding mother to order an extra amount of American Ice for freezing the cream at home and offer to be chauffeur to the freczer, or he can ask her to let him telephone one of the good companies to deliver his favorite flavor.

Nominally everything in Russia is owned by the people. The factory workers are supposed to own their own factorles. The peasant is sup- posed to own the” land and the forests. In actual practice the work- er no more owns his factory than the worker in Bayonne, N. J., owns the tandard Oil plant there. The peas- ant at the beginning of the revolu- tion was told that now the landowner had gone the woods and game were his. The peasant began to cut what | Wood he wanted, free from control, and killed off the game. Saw Systems Fail. When the first fever of revolution had passed, responsible men saw that this_would not do. Woods and live stock raust be conserved. So' the peasant was told that he must not touch or damage them, for they were now the people’s. The game is shot today by privileged people, and by privileged people only, just as in the former days.

The leaders dream of creating a democracy that will be able to take the tasks of administration on itself. They have not succeeded yet. It is one of the tragediés of our time that men who sacrifice health and ltberty from passionate love of freedom should have become devisers and directors of the most autocratic government in the world, that these racry, more bureaucratic than ever the czars led, and that these dreamers a nation through years of civil war and should be today at the head of one of the most powerful armies in the world. haters of bureaucracy should have | become the heads of a superbureau- of world peace should have to direct | ASKS DIRECT PROBE OF PETERS’ SLAYING N. Y. Attorney General Wants Special Grand Jury on Charges Against Wealthy Baker. By the Associated Pre ALBANY, N. Y., May 25.—Attorney General Sherman today recommend- ed to Gov. Smith that a special grand jury investigate the slaying of Clar- ence Peters, ex-marine, by Walter S. Ward, wealthy baker. W"d was indicted for murder by a regulur grand jury, but the case was dropped because the state was not ready for trial. Recently Attor- ney General Sherman has been mak ing a public investigation of the killing. but has failed so far to dis- cover the nature of the blackmall = LA\ ] which, Ward claims, led to the deathf of Peters. 11 Disinclination of the attorney ge; eral to permit the case to be t subject of extended litigation, a pros- pect_which developed when counsel for Ward obstructed the state's plans to procure cablegrams exchanged by relatives of Ward in regard to de- mands for blackmail is one reasonf] for the recommendation that a spe~ cial grand jury be called.
