ICE CREAM HUMOR SHAKES LAWMAKERS British Have a Good Laugh at American Tastes [ London, May 9.—The fun poked by | American at the British habit, of “pottering”” around for tea every aft- ernoon is mild compared to the al- most hilarious attitude of the Briton toward ice cream. "o most English- | “men there seems to be something screamingly funny about ice cream. | The House of Commons has scldom | echoed more laughs in a few minutes than it did the other day when a m.ember asked for permission to in- troduce a bill permitting the fce cream after 9:30 at night. the war nocturnal purchasing eréam has been illegal, unless it was accompanied by a meal, The laughter broke out f Harry Becker, the member for Rich-! mond, introduced his plea. It waxed louder when he said the object was to encourage the development of ice cream and soda fount#ins in country. At present, he said, ice cream could be sold after 9:30 only it was part of a mecal, and this was a vexatious infringement on the liberties of the people. More laughter and a few cheers, If ice cream could not b sold afte ), the speaker argued, it hs-(an to meit and bacteria developed. Uproarious laughter. What would the colonial and foreign visitors to the Empire Exposition think if they! could not order an ice cream after 9:30, or entertain the friends at hame with mineral waters? Loud when | or poorly educated, y old Tories shook with amusement, back-beneh - Laborites grinned, and the faces of some of the lady members broke out with smiles as Mr, Becker sat down, Then some- one added to the general mirth by suggesting a division to let the whole House decide whether the ice cream bill might be presented. It all seemed too funny for words, so no one sec- onded the motion. It will be Interesting to observe what the cglonial and foreign visitors | this summer will think about the way England puts up legal hedges areund ice ¢ m and chocolate can- dies and ‘ties and other pleas- urable commodities, soon after sunset | each evening. It is illogal to buy any of them after 9:30 unless a meal is ordcred, Similar restrictions are im- peacd on beer and stronger beverages after bars close at 10 or 11, Most of the night-time restrictions on personal habits were imposed ing the war, Some patriots conceived the idea that (he military forces of the allies would be aided if people gave up buying ice cream, tobacco,! soft diinks,, bon bons and lollypops at late hours, It was argued that this would release workers for more essen- tial employments, Doubtle it did, And now, five years after the armis- fce, the wa trictions con- tinue unrepea They have almost Lecome a tradition. “Punch” made recently a significant CONFIRMATION PHOTOS 21ite Studio Qip-to-date” ILMS, DEVELOPING GOOD USED CARS CASH ORR EASY PAYMENTS CARS SOLD ON COMMISSION ! contribution this | | these specialiste will not be teachers; comment on the rising tide of laws, “Mr, Rupert Hughes,” it observed, “has described American/laws as the laughin-stock of Furope.

Everything the library does is to some extent educational, Mr. Milam aid, and libraries are now experi- menting with a type of adult educa- tion service designed to increase their usefulness to men and women who wish to continue their education out hool. Education is not synonomous with schools nor teaching,” Mr. Milam as- serted, “Every child is educated not only by the school but by his contacts, experiences, by what he sees, hears| and does and by what he reads. Al- though we put on to the teachers most of the blame for our uneducated | c jie | rates for | nearly | says the report, the German linen in- we should aegree | that the better part of every man's| education is that which he gives him- here is a growing recognition | that America nceds & thoroughly ?d- vcated citizenship, and we are com- | ing gradually to realize that no man is educated if he stops learning when he leaves school. The world move- ment for adult education is now felt and it gives to all agencies for aduit education an opportunity to increase their usefulne. “If the 1ik ies see and meet l]\b‘l] opportunit, may expect them 1o add to their staffs not only generay| cducational advisors, but specialists | in the several important fields, men and women of the type of high school teachers and college professors, whol will be available for the preparation | of reading courses and to give advice to the student as he follows out his| course of reading. In all probability they will be advisors to the independ- ent siudent, “The library, hy organized efforts, | by establishing personal contacts out- side, by having at the library persons | who can take time to give personal | advice, by having enough copies of needed books to mect demands promptly, ¢An help materially to pre- vent boys and girls from continuing or becoming uncducated citizens.” | BES | Will Meet. the Meriden Cutlery Team at St. Mary's, | The Besse-Leland nine will meet the | Meriden Cutlery team at St. Mary's| ficld Bunday afternoon.

According to reports of the Ameri-| guservers that the Anglo-Russian con- | r of Commerce in Ger- | > export tax has been the est obstacle in the revival of the export trade here Exporters bave be uous effor o secure re expuert shipme: put them on a basis similar to that which prevailed prior to the war. Simultancously with removal of the en making stren- ed freight import ready number of foreign products. The German linen industy, other industries, has been p on a gold mark basis. The Chamber's | tiade report says the price of linen compared with peace time | prices, is now 60 per cent less, whil cetton and eotton yarn in D has increased from 14 cents in 1914 to 87 cents, indicating an increase of 200 per cent. Due to this fact, es ‘is planned, and al- like all dustry virtually has recovered, as to- day flax has replaced coiton, there- fore linen textiles are lower in price than cotton textiles and their substi- tutes, T'he report assumes, however, that gradually linen prices will reach the price level of cotton textiles. It is reported that employment in | | the linen industry has becn favorable | recently, and that the mills have bee: | able to dispose of their products a Cleans by Air—Alone! — FREE — DEMONSTRATION IN YOUR HOME OF THE JIRIC CLEANERS SOLD, RENTED and REPAIRED The Cowles Elec.

Will Avail Little. London, May 9.—Endorsing the view expressed by some well informed ference may result in a fizzle, the { Daily Jelegraph’s political expert to- | day says the Russian delegates are | doing all possible to draw out the ! negotiations. The writer claims to have learned that “the rulers in Mos- cow hitherto have been of two minds about giving Premier MacDonald the satisfaction of a diplomatic success at the conference.” “They now seem eager for agree- ment than when Lord Curzon was | foreign minister,” he adds. “Per- hapg they do not believe that Mac- | donald’s government will last long, and prefer to wait for his successor. |1t is also said they wish to prolong the conference until the communist | mandate, and the violent abuse Britain in the Soviet press is said to be designed to prepare favorable | opinion among the delegates to that ongress.” ? The writer represents Premier | MacDonald as being seriously an- noyed by the Soviet attitude, and sets | | forth the possibility of the premier ! making the demand that the delega- | tion either get down to work or quit.
