The week began, continued and end
ed very disappointingly for social
goers. At this time of year one is
more ready to expect and accept the
pleasant. warm, balmy days of a glad
spring time than to countenance cold,
gloomy, and not to say, nasty weather.
yesterday was an example of the dis
agreeableness of day that so many
young hearts had planned should be
beautiful and unsurpassed in gayety.
For the members of the entire high
school and for the visiting athletic
teams each with its bevy of pretty
girl followers, the day was disap-
pointment. Many had planned to
come from nearby cities and even
from towns more than one hundred
miles away who stayed at home on
account OF the weather seers' predic-
tions which unhappily turned out to
be the right guess for once.
Only in the evening, however. when
the gay cotillion in the beautifully
decorated Gibbons hall, was launch
ed in its splendor were the disap-
pointed feelings, of those who had
worked so faithfully to make the en-
tire social end of the affair a success
and those who were to be their guests,
relieved The efforts of the decorat-
ing committee, the social and recep-
ton committees and all those who
had worked SO hard for the ultimate
success of the track meets final wind
up, were not in vain but instead were
as had been formerly predicted,
eminently successful. The occasion
and gracious hospitality Of the young
lady members OF the school, the gen
teelness of the young men students
and through all the courteous welcome
extended the visitors in their stay,
fere, will linger long with all who
tasted of K. Fl. S. hospitality, from
Friday until Sunday morning.

Reducing the Meat Bl1I.

In many American families meat is eaten two or three times day; in such cases the simplest way of reduc ing the meat bill would very likely be to cut down the amount used, either by serving it less often or by using less at a time. Deficiency of protein need not be feared when one good meat dish a day is served, especially if such nitrogenous materials as eggs. milk. cheese and beans are used in- stead. In localities where fish can be obtained fresh and cheap. it might well be more frequently substituted for meat for the sake of variety as we'll as economy. Ingenious cooks have ways of extending the flavor" of meat; that is. of combining small quantity with other materials to make a large dish, as in meat pies, stews, and similar dishes

EARNING A BIG SALARY.

Story About General Manager of th- New York InterborouEh.
 How does a high-salaried man earn his pay? asks writer in System, and proceeds to answer his own question with the following incident:
 Some time ago Frank Hedley, the general manager of the Interborough was waiting on a subway station plat form. A train drew in with the power on, reached the stop sigAal and came to sudden halt, jolting the passengers and straining the machinery. The in cident gave him an idea.
 He went to a manufacturer of time clocks and gave an order for an ex- perimental timepiece that would re. cord elapsed time during which cleo tric power was being used by the Inter- borough trains. The manufacturer in due time produced a small device that could be attached to tue mechanism in the motorman's boy |, such way that the power could ts turned on only after the time clock had been unlocked by the motorman's special key and the clock set in operation.
 
 clock would record the exact moment By this means the exact number of hours. minutes and seconds during which that motorman consumed cleo tric current was automatically record ed and special device printed the to- tai elapsed time during the days run.
 The device was attached to the mo tormen's control boxes in all the trains on one line and eXperimented with for a month. Instructions were issued to the motormen to coast into the sta tions by turning off the power as far distant from the stopping place as pos sible and come to gradual halt after running some rods by the force of momentum. Rewards were offered to the men whose records showed the most economical use of electric power.
 At the end of the month the en- gineer of the line reported reduc- tion of over 15 per cent in the power The individual records of from 10 per cent to 40 per cent over | the amount of power used previously. i Time clocks have been ordered for the other Interborough lines.
 ''It may be assumed that the same saving in power will be effected. The annual coal bill for electric current is $2,S00,000. A saving of 15 per cent means a say. ing of $294.00O year on this item alone. to say nothing of the saving on wear and tear of machinery. The sum is considerably larger than Frank He'd. ev's salary"
