HIGH SCHOOL now
HAS A CAIERESS
PUPILS GET BETTER LUNCH IN
QUICKER TIME.
Wholesome, Substantial Filling" and
Taste Of Something Sweet Besides,
Are Now Supplied in Central High
Innovation Appreciated by Hungry
/ Boys and Girls.

I'm, fine, - mumbled pretty lass,
as she munched ham sandwich in the
hall Of the Central high school during
morning recess today.
She addressed half dozen compan-
ions who were busily hiding sand
witches, each holding a wedge Of cake
In the hand that was not used in guild
ing the bread and ham into her mouth.
All thru the building pupils were rev.
cling as result of the innovation at
the school today. Sandwiches, made of
the finest bread, wrapped in paper nap.
kins, each with generous piece Of
cake, are being sold within the build
ing and the pupils are not compelled to
waste their rest periods in running
across the street to pay 5 cents each
for tough buns
Space Is Precious.
Commissioned by the board Of educa.
ton Principal J. N. Greer engaged a
caterer to furnish luncheon for the
hungry pupils. Absence of necessary
space makes it impossible to make the
crowded condition of the halls makes it
impossible for the girls to don thei,
wraps and fit across the street fo1
lunch, within the limited period, and
the awarding Of the privilege to an out
slider was imperative. III
In small rooms, from 100 to .15C
pupils leave their wraps. Heretofore
the cramped quarters have made it i'm
possible for the girls to get their wraps
60 across the street and return in time
The girls hurried out bareheaded ans
their parents complained The commits
sioning Of caterer was the result
Where the pupils went out and pail
5 cents for the sandwiches alone, they
now can procure excellent bread sand
witches and cake for that sum. Thu
bill 10 fare will be varied; fruit vii
take the place Of the cake and beef ani
nuts will be placed between the slices
Of bread to relieve the monotony Of thu

Among other special collections in her

marbles-in brief, examples OF almost every
thing collectible n worth collecting and

These collections, together with her
library, were speedily announced for sale
after her death. The books and manu-

from an American buyer.
The finest items, the two Cations, the
