BOIL WATER, IS WARNING Station Creek is being Gloucester Folk, Pumplfig Impaired, Supplied Vrom Water from Newton creek supplied residents of Gloucester. X. ,T todny, nnd notices have been s.ent out to I boil all drinking water ns a piecau tionnry measuie. i The water supply in Gloucester was cut today by the breaking of two air compressors in the pumping station there. It was necessary to open one valve leading to Newton cieek to meet the water demand. It is expected that the icpnirs will be made at the pumpiug station by tomonow night. ( It may he accessary further to con- serve ice distribution to householders I because of the impending nhortage. I Tnentv-five pounds per customer is now the allotment allowed by the ice commission here. Conservation plans will be discussed today at a meeting of the commis sion. Whether the twenty-five pounds of1 ice nllowed to householders will be re duced further this summer will depend I largely upon the reports of the thiity one manufacturers of artificial ice, which will be submitted to the com mission. The reports will show the iiunntlty of ice in storage, the chilly output of each plant nnd the quantity sold dur ing the last two weeks of July, as com paied with that sold in the correspon ding peiiod n J ear ago. "The situation is serious." said Chief John A. Voglcsou. of the Itureau of Health, who is a member of the ice commission. "At the beginning of .Tul there were R0.000 tons of ice in ! storage here. That was reduced to. 02,000 tons on Julv 1,". and the mem beis of the commission know that there has been a considerable 1 eduction since that date "The i-oinbinrd plants have a pro ducing capacity of 4700 tons a dnj. while the daily consumption is approxi mately "L'OO tons. The difference has to be made up in storage ice up to nbout the middle of September, when the great demand ceases. "Ileretofoie the situation hos been niel with natural ice' brought from the I'oconos and the lakes of Northern New .Teisci, hut no such ice is available for the Philadelphia market this summer. As a result we are compelled tcrdcpencl entirely for the extia demand ou arti;. licial ice." '.SNELL SUCCEEDS BENNETT Acting Lieutenant Takes Place of Convicted Man Jtichard S.

Because the wealthy frequent the Avenue, it is as sumed that all are wealthy and that small coins are disdained. It is sometimes believed that open-handed prodigal ity is an attribute of wealth. It may be in buying old masters, yachts or tiaras, but commercially the rela tively poor are the "spenders." In the circle of your own experience, who spends most on patent leather shoes, "nobby clothes" or other foibles? The market possibilities for luxuries have increased greatly in the past ten years.
