G. A. Lowenptein, food expert, "was the little engine that had the right fuel supply. The human body, so like an. engine can and does pull its loa if it has pul ling power given it in Us food sup ply." Among the foods which Pr. Lxiwenstein mentions ' as ' giving this "pulling power is ice cream. Because it is a fresh dairy product made-of milk and cream supple mented by the heat energy food, sugar, it supplies' the body with many of the twelve elements nec essary for good health and con tinued activity. In this century when the one thought of all men and women is "getting ahead. ice cream is one of the foods which will do much toward helping them get there. - MEXICQ DENIES RUMOR OF BREAK WITH U. S. (Continued from page 1.) publish it. "The mystery of the matter, coupled with the coincidence that Ambassador Tellez simultaneously happened to have a sick brother in Mexico City requiring his pres ence at home, has caused ome journalists to proclaim a crisis, a threatened rupture of relations, and to assert that Tellez recall has been made. Let them juntify their assertions. The foreign of fice says that they are unfounded."

" 0-' . v The subject, of the recent mys tery note exchanged ,'bet-areen Washington and Mexico Cly was atilj a jealously guarded -secret at t ne state department. The strange comings and goings of Manuel C. Teller. Mexican ambassador, still lacked convincing explanation, and even: the state department said of ficially it was unaware of the rea son for his second start for Mexico City The White House contributed only the reiterated assertion that President Coolidge regards the question of confiscation of Ameri can owned property in Mexico as the major difference between the two governments, all other sources of friction being viewed as inci dental to that question. The presi dent believes that settlement of the4 major dispute would solve, al most automatically, all lesser com plications. A new surprise as to Tellez movement was sprung with word from the Mexican consulate gen eral in New York that he had not gone from Washington to that city last night to take a ship for Mex ico, as reported at the embassy, but had turned westward to make the trip by rail, -via St. Louis. A report that he had again turned back to Washington was circulated tonight, but found few takers. its source could not be learned.

" tr In another room, a few mom ents later, Harry Daugherty broke into tears. He was comforted by friends.

Mrs. Miller did not reveal her emotions. MHler's bail of 5.000 was continued pending appeal. Motions for a new trial will be made next Tuesday.' Should they be denied.

They did not offer Vongratulations or condol ences in the courtroom.
