The hour for dinner has undergone
several changes. About 400 it was
10 a. m. Henry VIII. dined at this
time and supped at 4. In the six
teenth century dinner was at II, break
fast at and supper at or 6. In the
following century meals were an hour
later. Disraeli tells us that in the
reign of Francis l. of France folks
rose at 5. dined at 8, supped at and
went to bed at 8, which, according to
a popular saying, made them live to be
ninety-nine. Louis XII, it is said,
fastened his death by altering his
hours to please his young wife. In
stead of dining at a. IN. and going
to bed at 6 p. m, he took to dining at
noon and often sat up till midnight.

]. p. Morgan Pays That Much For Fa-
nous Epistle.

Leipsic, May AT an autograph
sale the other day a letter written by
Martin Luther to Emperor Charles
V. was bought by Florence dealer
for $25,5O0. The purchase is said to
have been made for j. +. Morgan.
The letter, which is In Latin, is of
great historical Importance. 1t was
written in 1921. during the reformer's
return journey from the Diet of Worms,
and I'm describing the proceedings, de-
Tended his attitude.
The epistle was intrusted to an inn
perial herald. who gave Luther safe
conduct from the Thuringian Forest
until he was ostensibly taken prisoner
for his own protection by the order
Of his friends. the Elector of Saxony.
The contents of the letter were such
that none dared to deliver it to the
emperor, and a note to this effect was
written on the manuscript by the en-
peror's archivist.
A letter written by Luther's wife,
who was Katharine Won Bora. a nun
who renounced her VOWS, brought
$4,000.

GIRL ENGINEER AT U. OF M.
Miss Lillian M'omber Will Be oradu
ated in June.

Ann Arbor, Mich, May 9.-The first
graduate from the University of Michi-
gan engineering department to receive
the degree of bachelor of science in
engineering will be a grl-Miss Lii
lian Pearl McOmber OF this city, the
second woman to graduate from the
engineering department. She Will
graduate in June.
Miss McOmber is pretty, decidedly
pretty, and what's more she is dainty
and eliminate TO the tips of her fin
gers-likes pretty clothes and stylish
ones, and knows how to get them ON.
She has great, big blue eyes and a
wealth of pretty blond hair, and a coll
.oring that denotes perfect health-and
what is worth nearly as much-youth
Miss McOmber had always had a
great liking for figures-where most
girls in the high school dotted on Ian
guages-she preferred maitland she
was what is known i'm high school
parlance as n shark" i'm math.. still
is In fact, and all through the difficult
engineering course she has shown
wonderful grasp on the intricacies of
the most perplexing problems that
come up in engineering work. Even
that far-famed, much hated IS and II"
course had few terrors for her.
Nor did Miss McOmber become
"bohn"-study she did, but she also
had good time socially, and has read
lily been one of the most popular girls
in the university. She also found time
to keep up with her music, for which
she is most gifted in that line.
And next month. on June 30 she will
receive her diploma, the first diploma
for this identical degree that has ever
been given at the u. of NJ.
Miss McOmber is tho pride of her
class. and every one of the nearly 200
graduates from the engineering de-
partment feels justly proud that theirs
is the class graced by a woman, and
a young and pretty one at that.
The one other woman graduate from
that department was Miss Marion
Parker. who was q structural engin-
eer, and who was one of the engineers
employed in the construction of the
Flatiron building in New York. She
graduated in 1895. The other woman
to take work, engineering, at Michigan
was Miss Mary Haggler, but she never
got an engineering degree, as she never
her work, graduating I'm the
literary deDartment instead THAT was
pack in 1882.

NEEDS MANY NEW SCHOOLS.
New York Has 10000 Pupils who At
tend Only Half Days.

New York May 9.-To meet the
growing needs Of New York's public
schools and 10 give a whole day Of
schooling to 10000 pupils who are now
on half time, the city plans 10 spend
approximately s45.OOO.OOO in the next
five years. The sum has been asked
for by the board of education and such
an impressive array Of arguments are
presented in support OF the request that
there is little doubt that the city will
make the enormous appropriation.
The tentative program for spending
the expectde appropriation involves:
Thirty-six school sites, 80 additions to
elementary schools. a new training
school for teachers, seven additions to
high schools. four new high school
buildings and one supply depository.
These improvements will mean a net
increase of 125,367 sittings for pupils,
the giving of a whole school day 10
10000 pupils now on half time and
the abandonment of p old and unsan-
itary buildings.
School officials declare that this sum
represents the least amount that would
enable the city TO have an efficient
school plant. Three times this amount
could be economically and effectively
spent, they declare. One reason why
the school system is always cramped
for sites and buildings is that it is
impossible to get funds sufficiently far
ahead to purchase sites economically
The proposed expenditure will give
relief TO three-fourths Of the school
districts in the most congested parts OF
Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn.
No provision has been made except for
the most crowded parts of these dis
tricts and no provisions whatever for
fourth OF the districts, in some of
which congested conditions are rapidly
arising.

"SILO JAG" THE LATEST.
Texas Farm Hands Find Way For
Cheap Drunk.


San Antonio. Texas. May 9.-,It has
remained for a Texas farmer to dis
cover an entirely new Jag" producer.
According to n statement of a man
making the discovery, the person who
takes aboard a package of this new
stimulant wants to be joyful climb
trees and play pranks. When one par
takes there is no danger of getting hold
of the bottle with fights i'm 1t.
For some time a well known farmer
recognized as one of the leading "drys"
of the state, had noticed that a num-
ber of the hands on his place appeared
unusually hilarious. He was sure that
none OF the popular beverages of the
day were being consumed by them and
began an investigation. He went out
where his men were engaged i'm re-
moving green feed from n siIo.
After working about this for a time
and breathing the fumes from IL he
discovered that he wanted to dance,
play tag with his men and go through
all those unusual capers characteristic
of those who take on board too much
of the principal product Of Kentucky
Realizing that the entire force of men
were quite as intoxicated as himself
he stopped work for a time and all
were soon in their normal condition. A
second attempt to take the contents
from the silo brought on another jag
ged condition of the entire crowd, thus
convincing the farmer that as a mod
ern and cheap boozatorium a silo is
the latest thing out.
