RESTAURANT KITCHENS.


Susan NJ. Kingsley, of the econom-
ic department of Simmons college, in
the course of her book on Labor
Laws and Their Enforcement" deals
with conditions in restaurants, which
she asserts to be deplorable. Ac-
cording to Miss Kingsley, ''uncleanli-
ness and irregular hours are univer-
SAL" Probably universal is rhet-
orical rather than precise; for we are
continually hearing of restaurant
managers who invite the inspection
of their establishments by patrons
with or without notice, and occas-
ionally one of these patrons testi-
fies that certain restaurant kitchens
are 'as neat as wax Mostly, how
ever, such immaculate kitchens are
found in connection with restaurants
in which the charges are high,
though there may be exceptions to
this rule. Say what may be said
about the inexpensiveness of clean.
illness, a very considerable cash out.
lay is necessary in those hotel and
restaurant kitchens were rigid re-
quirements as to cleanliness are en-
forced, and as the money for this
purpose can come only from the pa
irons, it is evident that the cost of
the labor and materials necessary
must be reflected in the restaurant
prices. 1t is probably true, in spite
of what Mrs. Kingsley says that the
kitchens of some cheap restaurants
are kept measurably clean; but
where the proprietor of such an es-
Establishment is depending largely for
his custom on the low prices of his
meals, he has got to skimp some
where-and we do not see that any
body has occasion to be surprised if
he economies, so to speak, on soap
and towels and elbow-grease in his
kitchen. When one patronizes a res
taurant where the tablecloth is
changed for every new guest and
where the silver is shined to the dag
element of the eyes, the presumption
that the kitchen should be spotless
Ily clean is warranted, whether the
fact is so or not But when one seek,
food in place where the tablecloths
are chemically spotted with grease
and coffee, where the napkins arc
smelly and the knives and forks
grimy, what does he suppose the
kitchen may be like? We suppose
there are public eating places where
the outside of the cup and platter
that is, the dining room, and the din
ling room utensils, are clean; while
the inside-that is the kitchens
filled with uncleanliness. But where
the outside Is dirty, there can be nc
promise for the inside. And as BY
far too many of the cheap restaur
ants are none too clean, what must
be the suspicion about their kitch
ems? The bald fact is that cleanli
ness must be paid for, and when you
don't pay for it, you are not likely to
get it.

THE FIRST SHOT OF
THE CIVIL WAR

NOBeI AJklnsOn Pryor, lawyer, edl-
tor, and soldier, now nearly eighty
three years old, was selected to fire
the first shot of the Civil War, but
gave up the honor to another. A
few days ago, on the fftieth ami
versary of the firing on Fort Sum-
ter, he told a reporter of the New
York Times lust why" after being
requested by his superior officer to
fire that first official shot," he had
arranged for his old friend, Edmund
Ruffin, to do it. But" says Roger
Pryor, you must first know who Ruff
fin really was"
He was a dear friend of mine, this
fine fellow, and owned a paper of
which he had been editor for many
years. 1t was really an agricultural
paper, but when the war talk began
he gave it a political tone. It was
Edmund Ruffn who first advocated
secession as distinct from Calhoun's
doctrine of notification Virginia did
not favor Ruffins notion strongly, for
the convention then in session ct
Richmond had thrice voted against
it with an increasing majority. That
is why Ruffin went to South Carolina
to PROFOUND his doctrine where It
would have more effect.
He came to Charleston in early
April. Charleston was beleaguered
with 5000 or 1000 young Southern
gentlemen at the time who were all
in fighting trim. With these boys
Ruffn enlisted, DOMINIC the South
Carolina uniform and shouldering
musket-this man with snow-white
hair and almost seventy-fve years
old. And he was present when Cen
eral Beauregard asked me to fire the
first shot. I introduced him to the
General, and told the General what
Ruffin had done to further the cause
of the South, and persuaded him to
let Ruffn fire that shot"
"But why did you not fire the shot
yoklrself?" the General was asked
THE first shot on Sumter freed the
slaves" said General Pryor, but that
was not my intention when l viewed
the lannon's fuse, prepared to touch
it off. But as Emerson says, Il
builded better than | knew AS
look over all these days since that
eventful day, l am more than ever
convinced that never, except by war,
could you have got rid of slavery"
But why-why did you not?"-
the reporter guardedly asked. Gen
eral Pryor replied:
''You ask me why? I could not!
1t would have looked theatrical" and
he rested his right hand firmly on
an autograph copy of a photograph
of General Lee, photograph which
he later ''complimented" as the only
picture of Lee which rightly contain.
ed his subtle blend of. majesty and
gentlemanliness. 81 did not accept
General Beauregards kind offer be-
cause it would have been bad act
ing, and it was not for me to accept
it,
And did everything go well? he
was asked
Night was coming on, and Gener-
al Pryor, sturdy old gentleman that
he is, had almost said his full. "Oh,
yes" he replied at length, "the Gen.
eral was persuaded. Ruffn fired the
shot. Virginia thereupon seeded,
uniting the entire South. Ruffn then
renewed his allegiance to Virginia,
living in Amelia County, not far from
Richmond. And it was there. when
he heard Of the surrender of Gen
eral Lee, that he blew out his brains
literally, thus firing the last shot as
well as the first"
General Pryor concluded his "ev-

TOO COLD FOR
ANOTHER GAME
Manager OF Marions Says
Team is Through.

Manager Thomas Mullen, of the
Marion Baseball Club, which won
the championship of the city by de-
feating the st. Anthony team Sunday
afternoon at Amusement Park, SAID
today that his team is through with
baseball for the remainder Of the
1911 season and will not tackle the
Morgan proposition, which has been
hurled at them by the South Am
boy claimants of the county baseball
championship. The Morgans split
even with South River, who defeated
the Vons, of New Brunswick, and
claim the county title because South
River would not play the deciding
game at South Amboy last Sunday
afternoon.
According to the Marions' mana
ger, 1t Is too cold for baseball and
the series had better be called of
before it is started. Another thing
against such a series, Manager Null
len states, is the fact Heating and
Kelly, of the Morgans, also play
with the Marions. Goodbye, base

P. A. H. S. WILL
START SEASON
Play South River in Basket
ball There Friday.

Perth Amboy high school basket
ball quintet will open its season at
South River, Friday afternoon,
where 1t will meet the high school
team of that place. The lineup for
the locals Is in doubt. The best
material in the school is barred from
playing, both on account of the rul-
ing of the executive COMMITTEES and
by the stand taken by the several
concerned basketball players. Ma
than and Lee Goldberger, and Yves
Davis will not appear in crimson and
white uniforms, as they are playing
with teams other than the high
school. Adam Schantz, who was
elected captain of this years quin-
tet, is also in no position to play
with the high school team, being a
member of the Riverside squad.
Who will captain the team. 1t Is
not yet known, although 1t is very
likely that Barney Browning will get
this position. The captain Of the
team, 1t is understood. should be a
member of the preceding years var
sity squad. Excluding Schantz and
Davis, who are not eligible to play
with the team in accordance with
the present stand taken by them and
the executive committee, no one in
the school can qualify for the posi-.
ton.
To defeat the boys from across
the river, the locals will have to
carry a strong lineup, as the boys
from the brick yards still remember
the defeat handed them by the high
school team last season The game
will probably be played in Wash
ington Park at 4 o'clock.
