OBITUARY All that was mortal of Mrs. Hattie Bowen Gray, widow of the late Henry Clay Gray, a well-known newspaper editor in Texas, was laid to rest in Forest Hill cemetery, on the 21st of July. Mrs Gray was born at Rockport, Texas, March 1867; and passed away at her residence 3151 Wabash Ave., Chicago, on July 17th, 1922; having been a resident of Chicago for 12 years. She was a graduate of Tillotson Institute of Austin, Texas, and served as teacher for 15 years, after withdrawing from the field of educational service, she continued to devote her time to study, and was well posted on current events. Her greatest thought and desire was that her daughter and two grn sons would get out of life a full measure of its worth. Their rearing was not a responsibility to her, but was a pleasure. In addition with pride she claimed her son-in-law as "her boy," for his sunny disposition and good will at all times toward her. She preferred the quiet of her home, and to play her large collection of records on the Victrola, for she always said "it sings, and I pray." She got so much out of her family, ties and out of her friends—Comfort and Good Will.—She stepped quietly down through the Valley of Death—not alone, but with Jesus. Pleasures she shared, and sorrows she bore. The Lord knows best and we are proud to say of our neighbor and friend that she prepared in early life to meet this day that had to come. Last March she counted her last milestone, and Monday she closed her eyes to sleep.—yea to rest, and so she bade no one the last farewell, she said goodby to no one. Her loving heart had ceased to beat and before we knew it she had gone! The floral offerings were many which bespeak the high esteem in which she was held by her host of friends. Our sympathy goes out to Prof. and Mrs. Like and family, in the sad hours of grief. She will rest in the calm and quiet of Milwaukee, where she will await the final call. But some day we hope to meet her, when our day is o're— On that beautiful Isle of Somewhere, where sorrows we know no more. And as we sit and think of you, and you are gone— Our hearts are grieved, though we try to be strong; We ask God to stop our woe—the echo comes back— t is a debt we all owe, and must surely pay But—its the beginning of a perfect day. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. O. Morley at St. Mark's A. M. E. Church. Rayner & Rayner were the undertakers and are to be congratulated upon their manner in conducting the funeral.

Seattle, Wash.—Where are the tramps of yesterday?—those aptly dubbed "knights of the road," who, in halcyon days, were a common sight along stretches of railroad right-of-ways, throughout the country. Shift-less, happy-go-hucky fellows they were—readily identified as "wandering Willies," or members of the roving mendicant fraternity, by their make-shift hats, unkempt and usually unwashed stubble beards, ill-fitting patched trousers, nondescript coats, battered and tattered over-sized shoes, but, best of all, by the tools of their "trade," a tin can and bandana handkerchief bundle which they carried on the end of a short stick over the shoulders. "Alas, poor Dusty Rhodes! I knew him well, Horatio!" meaned Denver Dutchy, a more or less retired veteran of the road, as he gently closed a grimy paper-bound edition of Emerson's Essays, which he had been reading for diversion while "beating it a division." several weeks ago in a box car from Pueblo to Denver, Colo., over the Colorado & Southern railroad. His traveling companion and confidante of the last three days, the reporter, a mere novice, whose experience as a hobo consisted of a trifling 23,000 miles covered at intervals during a period of four years, had asked for reminiscences of the old days when "box cars were box cars, and men were men," stirred by fond memories of the past, was visibly affected. Bemoans Dear Old Days. Bentham Dear Old Days. "Ah, will those dear days ever come again," he said almost sadly, shifting his weight as the train took a sharp curve and rumbled into a long, dark tunnel in the mountain side. When daylight again showed through the open door Dutchy continued: "I think not. The old thoroughbred trump has passed, and the profession has petered out. Only in the comics do you see the tried and true trump of yesterday. "Trump life is a different life now from what it was ten years ago. And what makes it different is this: The old-time tramp was on the road to do as little work as possible. When he needed a stake to hold him over the winter In the North there were plenty of jobs in almost any town where he could put in a few days' work and come clear with enough money to live for a few weeks. On the road he could always tackle a woodpile for some 'kind lady' and get fed. Then, again, the jungles in every town were always full of 'bos' who had plenty of food they had bummed or had bought. "Getting was easy in those days." Dutchy went on. "But now! There are several million men on the road—tramps and bums all—but they're not on the road because they want to be. Unemployment has put them there. Homeless, penniless and sometimes friendless, they are beating it from one town to another looking for work. "People in the city with jobs don't know what a hobo is up against. For that matter few of them know what a hobo, in the true sense of the word, is. They don't know that a real hobo is a traveling workman who does some of the hardest and poorest paid labor in the United States. They harvests the great grain crops of the Middle West each year? Hobos who drift in from all over the country harvest it. They also build the railroads, irrigation projects and other construction jobs; cut the timber in the often-lousy logging camps, harvest the ice crops, work in mines and oil fields, and perform other work that lasts for only a short time and which only the drift- Dallas Has First Marriage by Radio © ENTERTAINMENT Miss Marie Brady, and John H.

The marriage vows were spoken by the minister, and repeated by the marital pair, via radio, the ceremony being capped by a kiss, also via radio. ers will tackle. A hobo will only bum when he is down and out and can't work out a meal." Denver-Dutchy said many other things. Subsequent investigation finds that he is correct. The hobo is a worker. Conditions on the road are pitiful. In parts of the country where the unemployment situation is not critical the life is not so hard, but in portions where it is, as in the entire Southwest, many hobos are leading a life that is really worse than that of a hunted animal. Railroad detectives and special agents chase them off trains and out of railroad yards and the local police order them out of towns or arrest them for vagrancy. Drastic Laws Against Them. Many states, especially Texas, have drastic laws under which a man must serve from one to eleven months on road chain gangs if found guilty of vagrancy. This punishment has made many men bitter against the police and citizens of many cities, and agitators and agents of several radical organizations are using this fact as an argument toward enlisting hobos to their various causes. In the North west, posted at nearly every important freight division point, are representatives of the I. W. W. who solicit and often succeed in enrolling hobos for "red cards" on the strength of this argument alone. They hold the federal administration responsible in a large measure for national unemployment. "Here's a land of plenty," they say, "You, a human being must wander through it starving, cold and tired with no place to lay your head. An alley cat or stray dog is better off than you are." Few people realize what segregation of these two or three million idle men would mean. If there were not these hobbes swarming in hordes over the railroads in every section of the Union, the unemployed permanent residents of most of the cities and towns would have less chance of getting positions. The city man should be thankful that there are hobbs in times when work is plentiful. Outlook Bad for 1922. The outlook for 1922 is unfavorable, especially for the winter. With so many mines and mills shut down, and with the harvest season and construction jobs nearly over, it will not be long before several hundred thousand hobos will again have to "hit the road." Most old-timers predict a winter that will be worse than last year, one that brought much suffering. Jails will have to be thrown open and winter quarters provided as well as bread lines formed. Hobos everywhere advise youngsters not to try to beat their way anywhere at present, especially riding "blind baggage" on passenger trains. Mail guards have shot and killed so many suspects that it is unsafe. Bestides these hardships, there are more severe ones that tax a man's endurance to the utmost. In some towns throughout the nation the restaurants and homes have been pestered so much by hungry men seeking work that several men have actually starved to death in them.-Ted Seelman in the Chicago Daily News.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Skeleton, Biting Dog and Shoestrings What Is Left of Our Vast Elk Herds Uncle Sam's Trade With Latin-America New National Arboretum at Washington WASHINGTON. — Shoestrings, a biting dog and a human skeleton were used as texts for an economy sermon by Director of the Budget Lord in his address before the third semi-annual business meeting of the government which last January saw Gen. Charles G. Dawes of Chicago, the first budget director, wave aloft a brace of navy brooms as he stamped the floor to emphasize his demands for federal thrift. A shipment of hospital supplies was made, General Lord said, which contained one human skeleton, as well as laundry bags, instrument tables and other articles, but because of failure to classify properly the shipment "the rate of the skeleton which was three times first-class rate, was applied to the entire lot, which was shipped at a minimum of 20,000 pounds. Describing the workings of the THE estimated number of elk remaining in two large groups in the United States at the present time is only about 52,000, according to the biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. To insure the permanence of these splendid game animals, which are among the largest and finest of all deer, the cooperation and co-ordination of federal, state and all other interested agencies is needed. The elk of the Yellowstone park region constitute the only really large herds of the big game remaining in the United States, and although these number about 52,000, they are a mere remnant of the great herds which formerly ranged from Maine to California. The northern group, which ranges within the Yellowstone National park in summer and migrates northward, suffered greatly from the adverse conditions of the winter of 1919-20. The elk in the southern group are scattered in summer at high elevations in the southern part of Yellowstone UNDERCURRENTS of optimism pervading all recent economic reports from Latin-America are well borne out by the remarkable recovery shown in the statistics of trade between the United States and her southern neighbors during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922, according to a survey of the situation by Julius Klein, director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the Commerce department. Previous to his appointment by Secretary Heover as head of the trade promotion bureau of the Commerce department, Mr. Klein was a commercial attache at Buenos Aires. "Notwithstanding the fact," he said, "that this fiscal year embraced six months of lowest depression since the beginning of the European war, the EVERY state in the Union will be represented in the new national arboretum in Washington. Seeds from trees in the hall of fame for trees with a history are being collected by the American Forestry association from every state. The Botanic Gardens on the Mall are to be moved, probably to Mount Hamilton, a 500-acre tract just outside Washington. There a large arboretum will be established. The first state to send tree seeds is Indiana. Dumont Kennedy of Crawfordsville has sent in a box of seeds from the famous Dumont Kennedy elm. Many other famous trees will send "children" to Washington for a home in the nation's capital. There is the famous Lincoln backberry at Decorah, Iowa, planted by John Finn. Another tree is the Washington horse chestnut at Bath, Pa. In the list of famous trees from which seeds will come are the Sir Joseph Hooker oak at Chico, Cal.; the Wye Mills oak at Easton, Md.; the Washington walnut at Maplewood, N. J.; the Weathersfield elm at Middletown, Conn.; the oaks from England at Millford, Va.; the mulberry tree at Spartansburg, S. C.; the acacia tree at Dayton; the Rathbone budget bureau, he declared that while formerly an expenditure for a pair of showstriings out of the wrong appropriation could not have been made without the error being detected, unwise disbursements of millions out of authorized appropriations could have gone undisturbed before the inauguration of the budget system. Asking for honest estimates General Lord describes his own experience: "The first estimate I submitted to congress," he said, "was an honest, minimum estimate without one penny of padding. I was new at the business and went before the house appropriations committee as innocently and as guilelessly as a dove. I shudder now when I recall what they did to that carefully drawn, unpadded estimate. "I can illustrate it perhaps by the experience of the man who was accustomed to arrive home late from his club in a highly inebriated condition. The first night he went home sober his dog bit him. And that was what congress did. "In submitting honest estimates you may get bitten, but it is worth it if the executive bureaus succeed by such a policy in rehabilitating themselves in the estimation of congressional committees." park, and in the mountains of the Teton, Bridger, Wyoming and Washakie national forests. With the first heavy snowfall they descend to lower levels, where their winter range has become more and more restricted by the coming of settlers. Theusands of elk congregate in the path of their former migration in the vicinity of the winter refuge maintained by the biological survey at Jackson, Wy. Within the last ten years several thousand head of elk have been transferred from the Yellowstone park region to localities in many states for restocking purposes. total trade of the United States with Latin-America during the period was nearly 44 per cent greater than for fiscal year ending June 30, 1914. No better example of the splendid recuperative powers of the countries of both North and South America can be given than a study of such statistics. "We must bear in mind also, that in addition to this increase of trade between the countries of these continents, Europe has again become a large factor both as a buyer and seller in Latin-America; hence we may rightly assume that the statistics of inter-American commerce cited above are an indication of the general trade improvement of the commercial relations of the southern republics with the world at large." "American capital," Mr. Klein continued, "has turned in a strong tide toward Latin-America where, prior to 1914, with the exception of those in Mexico and Cuba, American investments were negligible." During the fiscal year just ended, he reported, more than $200,000,000 of American capital was invested in Latin-American public loans. This sum, he stated, included three loans to Argentina of $50,000,000, $27,000,000 and $13,000,000 respectively and one to Cuba of $5,000,000.

MISS CORNSTALK grew very proud as the days went by and her silky hair floated over her pale green dress in the breeze. "It is plain to me that I am the queen of the field," she said to the Pumpkin Vine, crawling on the ground nearby. "I feel sure that I was intended to be queen, else why should I be so much above all others around here." "We each play our part. I think," replied the lowly Pumpkin Vine. "My day has not come yet. I am sure when you behold me in my glory you will see that I am quite your equal, though I do not think I was made to be queen." "I should say you were not," haughtily replied Miss Cornstalk, looking on Pumpkin Vine with scorn. Pumpkin Vine Had a Pumpkin. "and now that I think of it I wonder I even so far forgot my high station as to speak to you. "A queen should speak only to her equals, and I wish you would not address me again, for I really cannot notice one so far beneath me." Pumpkin Vine said something about kindness being the greatest virtue a queen could have, but Miss Cornstalk only shook her silken locks that they might glisten in the sunlight and held her head higher than ever as her green sat fluttered in the breeze. But one day when Pumpkin Vine had forgotten all about the unkindness ofaught Miss Cornstalk, down fell something close beside her. Pumpkin Vine now had a large yellow pumpkin of which any vine should have been proud, but she did not drag about its gold. She knew that other vines had golden pumpkins and that it was not the only beautiful thing in the world. But what was it that lay on the ground beside her? Pumpkin Vine looked and there was Miss Cornstalks proud and haughty no more, for her silken tresses were gone and her green sash and all that was left of her former glory was a long stalk with husks withered and dry.

This is in perfectly good form and is better than cutting the kernels from the ear at table. Cherries—Lift the cherry by the stem to the mouth, and discard the pit into the right hand. Then lay it on the plate. Baked Potatoes—Cut them lengthwise or crosswise on the dinner plate if they have not already been opened in the kitchen. Take the morsels of potato from the open skin with the fork. Do not expedite this by squeezing the skin with the fingers. If you like to eat the skin cut the potato with the skin on with the knife and fork. Never scrape the skin with the side of the fork t get the last morsel. Berries—All should be eaten with a fork or spoon excepting strawberries which, if they are served with the hulls on, are raised to the mouth by means of the hull anditten off. Lobster in the Shell—It is necessary and quite all right to pull such sea food apart with the fingers and such things as shrimps may even be separated and peeled with the fingers. However great daintiness should be ex- "What's in a Name?" Now was the time, you think, for Pumpkin Vine to have revenge; but not in the way you may think did she take it. Very softly she spoke to poor, fallen Miss Cornstalk. "The sun is nice and warm, even if the nights are cool," she said, "and it will not be long before you will be taken into a nice warm barn, so do not feel so sad. "You are very fortunate to be able to see so much of the world, for from your lofty place you must have seen many things I have missed and I am sure you will see many things down here that will make you glad you cume." Miss Cornstalk looked at Pumpkin Vine and saw the big golden pumpkin. "You were right. Your day o, glory has come and you are my equal," she sighed. "and you should have been queen of the field instead of me, for you know h^o^ to be kind to those who have been unkind to you, and the real queen is the one who rules herself first." Poor, foolish Miss Cornstalk; while she was beautiful she had no time for wise thoughts, but when her beauty was gone she found out that beautiful deeds count for more than silken tresses and haughty manners.

"What's in By MILDRED MARSHALL FACTS a meaning; cance; yo MILDRED MILDRED is something of a holy name, since it has a heritage closely associated with religious orders. Though said to be of Teutonic origin, it was exclusively Saxon in its early use; indeed it may be said to be almost Mercian, since its first appearance was in the family of King Merowald. Mild was a Saxon word meaning "mild," and by the addition of "thyth," another Saxon term signifying "command", the feminine name Mildthyth was formed. Because it was translated to mean "mild speech," it was much used as a name for gentle dam-sets with religious inclinations. King Merowald and three daughters whom he named Mildgyth Mildburgh, and Mildthyth—thus employing all versions of the name then in use. All three became nuns of a holy order. The two latter were later abbesses, one in Shropshire, the other in the Isle of Thanet. They were finally canonized in recognition of their saintly lives, as Mildburgh and Mildreda. Thus Mildred, Mildrid, or Mildreda (as you prefer) came into existence and straightway won great popularity in Shropshire and, later, throughout all England. Germany adopted Mildred, but it has never had definite vogue there in spite of its supposed Teutonic origin. The consonants were too harsh for France and Spain, though the latter occasionally employs Mildreda, accenting only the vowels in the soft Latin manner. Mildred was the name given to the famous daughter of Burleigh and through her, its place among English maids was forever assured. Recently it was revived to even greater vogue in England and America and etymologists claim that the record of babies christened by that name in late years, would be astounding and unbelievable. The emerald is Mildred's talismanic Thing Time By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE percised in doing this and one should take care not to put the fingers to the mouth or to eat the fish with the fingers. The fork should be used to convey it to the mouth though the fingers may be used in separating the parts of the fish. (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) A LINE O' CHEER By John Kendrick Bangs.

(© by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "BOARD" THE resources of a language for the expression of thought are frequently increased by attributing to the same word a number of different meanings. Thus we have "post"—from the Latin pono, "I place"—showing up in such words as "postage", "post-baste", "post-office" and the like, while "head" and "court" are others of the same type. But, of all these, the most interesting is "board", originally connected with "broad" and applied to that form of timber which is characterized by its breadth rather than its thickness. Several boards manifestly go to make up a table but, in the old days, a single plank, rather filmmally supported, was sufficient for this purpose. We, therefore, have the use of the word in the sense of the table itself—the "festive board"—and also the meals, "board and lodging." The significance of the table is also apparent in the use of the word in such titles as Board of Trade, Board of Commerce and the like—all of these bodies meeting around or sitting beside a table. Again, "board" is specifically used to denote the plank covering of a vessel, and in this sense, gives rise to a new group of phrases, of which "aboard" and "above-board" are typical. The paper-maker, too, has his technical uses for the term. To him it signifies the stiffest and thickest—the most board-like—of his products, and "card-board" is the result.

In order to help in success, the line of life and the line of the head should be joined above the thumb. The line of the head must be strong, as brain power is required in great measure in struggling "or success in business. Therefore, the line of the head should be clear and well-marked, and should extend right across the hand. Of course, good fortune is necessary in business, and this is indicated by a strong line of fortune having its rise in the line of life and running toward or into the finger of Mercury, or little finger. If, in addition, there is a strong, short line on the mount of Mercury, it is also a very good sign of fortune in business. (© by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Germany makes the best optical lenses. --- "What did the doctor say, Sally?" Sighing heavily, Jim looked at his wife's pale face among the pillows. Under the softened light of the sickroom she looked so frail—the gilish slenderness which was really one of her chief charms seemed just skinniness. Sick for several days, she had failed to get up to prepare his breakfast as usual, and he had hurried home from work, anxiously wondering what the doctor had said. "He hasn't been here—yet," Sally answered. "Josie phoned for him first thing this morning, but he said it would be late before he could get around." "Well, how do you feel?" Jim sat down heavily on the edge of the bed. "How can I help it?" Jim reached for Sally's hand, and noted with growing concern how hot and dry it seemed. "If anything should happen to you, Sally—" "You would go looking for Number Two in a little while." Sally's playfulness did not irritate Jim. It seemed to make him sad. "I'd look a long time before I found anyone like you." Again he reached for her hand, and tried to hold it, when Sally would have pulled it away. "I haven't been a very good husband to you, have I, Sally?" "Don't be silly!" Sally told him. "You've never heard me say so!" "Of course you wouldn't—" "Because I couldn't." "Well, in a way I haven't been so bad." Jim admitted slowly. "I haven't beat you, and I don't remember that I ever got drunk—even since prohibition—but, I haven't done as much as I might—as much as I ought to have done for you!" Sally pulled her aching bones to the far side of the bed. She had never discovered this crazy streak in Jim. Alarmed, even more than a little frightened, she surveyed him incredulously. "I don't blame you"—Jim was speaking again—"I've been a brute to you—" "You've been nothing of the sort, but you talk like a fool!" Sally snapped. Then, as the buzzer sounded, "Thank goodness! The doctor! Let him in, and stay out till he do—" Jim recalled the day when he had married her. It had been a double wedding, Sally's girl chum marrying a chap with whom the girls had both gone to school. And it had ended in the divorce court—that other marriage. He walked into the hall as the doctor came downstairs. "Anything serious?" His concern was real, at least. "Nothing worse than one of these spring colds that everybody seems to be taking a turn at. I'll leave a prescription that ought to get her out of bed in a couple of days." The doctor's cheerfulness, perhaps, was the reason for Jim's baste to get upstairs. He took them two at a time. "I believe I feel better already," was Sally's greeting as he pushed open her door. "Huh! Doctor said you weren't slick at all." Sally's肩 stood eyed her scornfully now. "Such a fuss you made over nothing—getting me all worked up over your sly insinuations about dying, and all those things! Had to take it out telling me what a hard time you've had of it with me. Anyone might think I was really the meanest—" "Hurry, if you're going to get that prescription filled tonight." Sally yawned and turned her pillow to find a cool spot. "It's after 10 now—" Jim shrugged himself into a coat and rubbed his hat with his sleeve. "You might bring me a little ice cream. The doctor said I could eat it—" "Bring you nothing!" Jim growled. "You'll be costing me enough with drudgist charges and doctor's bills." But he took the stairs very softly, and Sally did not catch even an echo of the closing door as he went into the street. In 15 minutes he was back, the much-wanted ice cream in a paper box, and Sally's favorite magazine, flanked by a basket of selected fruit, was under his arm. "Thought you'd be too lazy to even try to get up tomorrow," he grunted, "so, to keep you from setting me crazy I got you something to read. And, just so you won't have me run my legs off waiting on you I called Josie on the drug store phone—she's zending her girl over tomorrow to get something done in this house." "Fine!" Sally sat up in bed and pecked daintily at the ice. "Your sister is a real comfort—thinks of everything, doesn't she? You are, too!" as an afterthought. Jim paused, hung up his coat, then, standing at the foot of the bed, he scowled down at Sally's smiling face—"Taffy! Well, it won't get you anything!" Then, when she had finished the cream, he patted the pillows and straightened the bed-clothes, tucking them in around her neck. "Think I'm doing all this because I like to make a nurse-mail of myself?" he wheezed. "Well, somebody has to look out for you, and it gets wished onto me." J. ANTHONY JOSEY Editors. Geo. H.

The Moonshine Blues It was midnight on the ocean, Not a street car was in sight; The sun was shining brightly, And it rained all day that night. 'Twas summer night in winter, The rain was snowing fast; A barefoot boy with shoes on Stood sitting on the grass. 'Twas evening and the rising sun Was setting in the west, And the little fishes in the trees Were huddling in their nest. The rain was simply pouring down, The moon was shining bright, And everything that you could see Was hidden out of sight. While the organ peeled the potatoes, Lard was rendered by the choir; While the sexton rang the dish rag Some one set the church on fire. "Holy smoke!" the preacher shouted, In the rain he lost his hear Now his head resembles heaven, For there is no parting there. Bladelets Every citizen owes a duty to his country.

Deception has been practiced all through the ages and among all peoples, but never more than it is at the present time. Cloudy days are dispiriting and sun-shiny days cheering, but some people carry long faces, during all kinds of weather. People who are too tender-hearted and bashful are not fitted for the warfare of the life. They move by "other men's breath."

THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE Results Rather Than Prejudice Hurtful Negroes in these United States have 216 new papers. The great majority of them are devoted to "racial interest" which means, in the usual analysis, warring against various forms of American racial discriminations and prejudice is evident, by the huge amount of energy, time and money which is expended in combatting this evil, that this state of affairs is most keenly felt. It seems, sometimes, that it is not so much the prejudice, but the results of prejudice which are so hurtful. Physicians say that the easiest case diagnosis the harder the cure; the hardest diagnosis the easier the cure. The cause of the patient's—most of the white race—distortions is hard to ascertain and, therefore, should comparatively easy to cure, once the cause is found. Some maintain that economic considerations are the basis of this policy of injecting into the lives of the minority wanton dirregard of their treatment by the majority. They contend that one Negro who is treated with a reasonable amount of decency in a hotel and on the train, white men will refuse to eat in the same hotel or decline to travel in the same coach. They say that with them it is a case of dollars and money they lose the money they lose all. The supporters of the foregoing theory cite many instances to support their position. We have had cases such as they cite. Two such experiences which I have had recently, follow last week I was in one of the large department stores down town and, being warm, sought to purchase an ice cream soda. I was promptly informed that I could not eat my cream at the mountain which meant, for me, that I could not eat it anywhere.
