ST. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 25.-More than
$500 grade school pupils patronized
the IL cent luncheons inaugurated
by the Board Of Education in the JEFF
kfersoa. Henry. Lafayette and Pesta-
0Abzzi schools yesterday.
Before the noon recess the children
had been appraised that the lunches
would be served, and they rushed
pell-mell out of the classroom when
the announcing gong was sounded.
The food was served in the base
ments and lower-floor classrooms.
The luncheons were prepared IN
the Central High School and carried
to the four grade schools In specially
constructed wagons. The 2 1-3 cent
checks were sold at two for 5 cents as
TIE pupils entered the luncheon.

THE DELIGHTS
OF HOBBIES
(By Sydney sandys.)

The happiest child l have ever
known is seventythree years old. She
hasn't shadow on her face though
it is crisscrossed with a network of
fascinating, little thought-tracks that
make it wrinkle up like sweet old
fashioned rose every time she smiles.
The first time that l ever saw her
she was gathering shells on beach
in southern California. Armed with
small steel shovel. she accomplish
ed her digging with marvellous dexter
ity. dropping her treasures, after a
first keen scrutiny, into wicker bas-
ket slung from her shoulder. The
tide. had but just retreated, leaving
the sands covered with struggling
wisps Of seaweed and pathetically
marooned mollusks. The little old
lady darted this way and that, ener-
getically selecting, examining and
rejecting. until her peregrinations
brought her directly in front Of me.
Shells she said, holding up a
humpy brown object fer inspection.

That was our introduction. took
the homely, sand notified creature

It honestly did not look pretty to my

is but an arid waste.
Among the favored few whose for
tunes admit of such exquisite indul-
gences, one finds enthusiasts who col
lect rare old books; unset gems;
laces of rare design, wrought by
fingers long since folded in sleep;
fans from all the countries of the
earth; historic china or silver, book
plates Or block-prints. But for those
Of us who cannot afford the luxury Of
adopting HOBBIES readymade, there is
a far more thrilling field Of advcn-
ture, for we must first invent our
hobby, before mounting it for how
ever brief flight.
We may go in for basketry or bead
work; beetles, of which there are
thousands of exquisite and harmless
varieties: seaweed; foreign coins and
medals of fine workmanship We
may take up the study Of astronomy,
or storms, or earthquakes, or tidal
waves; tree-life, bird-life, or the lives
of wild animals.
And If. in all this most wonderful
of worlds, We can discover no interest
more absorbing than the mere busi-
ness of dressing digesting and dying.
we may at least make a cheerful fad
of friendlines; and, in the smiling
pursuance of this, we may build up
a treasure-house whose turrets reach
unto the sky.-Ladies Home Journal.

White-capped and gowned employees
assisted in serving the food.
Custards Popular.


Each of the following lunches sold
for 10 cents: Bowl of noodle soup
and four crackers; beef and rice GRO
quettes; cup of chocolate and roll;
glass of milk and two slices of bread
and cup of custard.
The first days menu will be varied
from time to time. The cup of Gus
tard was the most popular. Noodle
soup also came in for a coed share
of the demand, and at one OF the
schools second trip with the flood
wagon was taken to supply the ap-
petites of the youngsters.
IT don't know whether it was the
novelty" said Ben Blewett, Superin-
tendent of Schools, "but the lunches
were a grand success. The service
taxed the capacity Of the Central
High School kitchen. Perhaps when
the newnes wears off the business
will not be so rushing. The lunches
will be continued, however, just SO
long as the service is self-sustain-
ing"
A list of foods comprising twelve
lunches that can be served for 2 IL
cents has been prepared. This menu
ranges from milk and soup, to chop
ped meat sandwiches, gingerbread and
blanc mango, which always Is In de-
mand BY children. It will be served
frequently.
Plan Tried First Time.
The st. Louis Board Of Education
Is the first in the United States to
serve lunches In the public schools.
Private enterprises have obtained
concessions to serve the luncheons.
but the prices generally have been
high and the food not up to standard.
When the plan was presented to
the St. Louis board, the members Inn
mediately decided to prepare the
lunches and serve them to the pupils
at cost. The plan was tried at first
in the Central High School and prov
ed such a success that it was decided
to try the scheme in few Of the
grade schools.

Superintendent Blewett said that
the plan would be self-sustaining, if
but one-third of the number of pupils
served today are served every day.
He added that the one object of the
Board of Education is to furnish a
substantial, clean luncheon as cheap
ly as possible without profit.

Live Dummies" Wanted

Cincinnati, o., Oct. 23-The Aele- gates from Cincinnati who attended the convention in Chicago of the Ma tional Association of Window Trim mers, have inaugurated a plan, which, if perfected will soon supplant the old fashioned dummy" wearing, garments with human models.
 The move was favored at the con vention for two reasons. In the first place the "wearability" and style of garments are shown to poorer advan tage on the dummy figure than on the human form. Then again a pretty woman would attract attention to the whole window display. If the plan is adopted generally d new occupation, that of window model, will have been created.

Ralph Cameron
 Visits Parker

The Parker Post Says: ~ Hon. Ralph H. Cameron, delegate tl congress from Arizona, arrived in Parker Thursday morning. His visit Was unexpected, and all the more wei come because he came to make per sonal investigation of the Colorado river reservation lands and to more thoroughly familiarlze himself with the situation here in order that he may be better preparHd to urge tie opening of the reservation at the ear Hest opportunity.
 Accompanied by local citizens MT. Cameron visited the new IndIan school buildings, and was afterward driven over a part of the lands in the vicin- ity ofethe agency, and later he visited Headgate Rock, where the proposed diversion dam is to be built While CLis was not Mr. Camerons first visit here he marveled over the undeyeloped pos abilities of the Parker country and the thousands of acres of agricultural lands lying adjacent to the town, and declared that no other section of Ari- zona possesses the natural resources which are to be found here.
 Mr. Cameron was greatly disap pointed to find that the government had not yet accomplished anything definite relative to the opening of the lands to entry. AS he is to meet Act ing Secretary Adams and Commission CT of Indian affairs Valentine within the next few days he made a special trip to Parker for the purpose of se- curing data to put the matter up to the above officials in as forcible nan ner as possible. In fact, he is going to try to induce Commissioner Valentine to, visit Parker and look, over the sit uation personally.
