DINING HALL
 READY TO OPEN Superintendent E. C. John son Makes But Few Changes Among His
 Assistants. ADAM MACKIE TO BE THE B0OKKEEPER Alterations Costing Several Thousand Dollars Made
 During the Sum-
 mer.

ENN'N have been arriving at the Yale dining hall, and everything is being put in readiness for the opening. The din- ing hall opens this fall under a new superintendent, Edward c. Johnson, who was appointed last spring, suc- ceeding Captain Samuel Smoke, who resigned.
 Mir. Johnson has made only few changes in his corps of assistants Succeeding F. J. Holder, a graduate student, who devoted only part of his time to the work, Adam Mackie has been appointed bookkeeper. MT. Mackie was for some time cashier at the New Haven house and then went to the Hotel Heublein in Hartford, from where he comes to this city.
 Mir. Sawyer, who was head waiter at the dining hall last year, will not return, MT. Johnson having appointed in his place William Percival, who has been at the Edgemeer club on Long Island all summer. MT, Percival has been at the Long Beach hotel and several other large summer resorts. The same chef has been retained.
 J, D. Marsh will be in charge of the ice plant and the engine room. The ice plant has been more than doubled in capacity during the summer, hold ing twenty-f1ve tons, where it former ly held only ten. Charles Taylor, who was head baker last year, has been retained, and most of the other help in the kitchen, including the steward, Robert Grant.
 D. N. Haynes, who for the past ten years has been in charge of the office, will be there again to smooth over all complaints of the students and to sup ervise the accounts.
 During the past summer there have been changes at the dining hall costing several thousand dollars, which will greatly facilitate the service and cut down somewhat the number of en- ployes. Elevators to carry the a la carte orders have been installed with a base near the large range in order that the food may be hot It has been for merly the custom to carry the orders about fifty feet from the range to an elevator and the result at times has been rather disastrous.
 A large supply of new crockery has been purchased It is similar to that already in use except that the Yale seal has always been a great attrac- tion to the students and their guests and so much of it has been lost to cost the university several hundred dollars a year, Some of the old crockery has been packed away with the stores of which G. L. Swazer, who graduated from Dartmouth in 1906 after playing on the varsity football eleven has charge.
 The first work toward getting ready for the students was done yesterday when a large supply of bread was DdhtQs O6NCl dl iiuiiQIGu DOuHQS Ol meat arrived and was put in cold stor- age and more is expected to-day,
 The first meal at the dining hall this fall will be luncheon Wednesday noon Several hundred students have already signed ia and probably the dining hall will be filled by the end of the week. The system of ordering by the students is to remain the same as last year, $315 for the regular bill of fare with extra coupons for meats, eggs and desserts.
 There will be music probably two nights a week this year as last, this matter being entirely in the hands of the student committee. The Second Regiment orchestra will play for the 1 first time this fall Thursday night and will continue at least through the fall while the students are practicing the | football songs.
