KOSHER KITCHEN IN SCHOOL
In the Jewish Dirtrict Of New York
Food Is Especially Prepared
for Pupils.

Six hundred and thirty Jewish chill
dren OF New York had luncheon the
other day for the small sum OF three
cents each a the opening Of the new
kosher kitchen just installed In public
school No. 81 This is the third large
school in the city TO operate its own
lunch room.
The idea Is to determine whether
children IN New York elementary
schools suffer from malnutritlon and
whether serving lunch at cost price in
the school buildings viii tend to raise
the standard Of scholarship in the
Jewish district, the cooking is doUe
according 10 kosher methods.
Before school each morning brass
checks good for one full meal are
sold in the school yard. All nine
O'Clock WORD is sent to the cook as to
the number Of luncheons that will be
required at noon. This does away
with all waste OF food. The meals
are served BY the children and they
do the clearing up and the dish wash
ing under supervision.
Many OF the children come from
homes where the mothers work out
By the day and there is no one to
prepare the luncheon should they go
home for it. The medical examination
shows that the children who have par
taken Of the lunches are In far bet
ter physical condition and are doing
better school work than those who
nave done without.

MUST FREE AMERICANS.
Mexico Can't Hold Prisoners Captured
on American Soil.

Washington investigation hav-
ing convinced the American govern
ment that Edwin Blatt, of Pittsburg.
Pa, and Lawrence Converse, of Los
Angeles, Cal, held prisoners at Juarez.
Mex, had been captured on American
soil, the State department asked the
Mexican government to release them.
The request was delivered to the Mex
lean embassy at Washington.
The case has been under investiga-
tion for several weeks by the depart
ments of state and justice. The re-
suit has developed that the men were
apprehended on this side of the bound
airy not far from the line.
1t remains for the Mexican authori-
ties to prove that the scene of the FEN
tire procedure had been within the
jurisdiction of Mexico, or else set the
young men at liberty. 49,
Blatt and Converse were arrested
February % and were confined in the
Federal prison at Juarez on charges ir
connection with the revolution against
President Diaz. The State depart.
ment, shortly after the arrests, was
assured the men kwould receive fan
trials.

CORNELL LOSES ON STUDENTS
Tuition Costs $3.50 More Than
Paid BY Each.

Ithaca, N. Zach student at Cor
nell University is costing the institu-
ton $3.50 more than he is putting
back into the treasury by his tuition.
according to a statement prepared by
officials.
There are more than a, 900 regularly
enrolled undergraduates in the uni
versity, so the loss is a considerable
item. The figures were reached by
estimating that there were SO stu
dents to ever member of the institution
staff. Students average tuition paid
in was 81, 070 for each group, and the
average salary of teacher is $1,1S8,
or a difference of $118 for $50 stu
dents. These figuers do not include
the cost of administration, but refer
to instruction only.
The statement gives the present
value of the university property,
buildings and grounds as S4,613, 438.-
48, and of equipment 81, 1894, SIP. II.
Station colleges are valued at SAIL

Corporation Tax Decision Puts Gov

SoFporauon lax Decision Puts Gov
eminent in Funds.
Boston Secretary of the Treasury
MacVeagh says Of finances of the
government and the new Panama
canal loan:
Although it has been the general
impression that block of new 3 per
cent Panama bonds would be issued
Immediately after the adjustment of
the corporation tax, we are in no inn
mediate need Of funds. In fact, while
! am having plates engraved for the
bonds, neither the amount nor the
time of issue has been decided.
"The first issue, however, will
probably be not more than $50, 000,-
900. The decision of the corporation
tax litigation in favor of the govern
ment has changed the complexion of
the government finances for the mo-
ment. This decision involved a mat
ter of s52, 900. 900 to the treasury inn
mediately. OF this amount, 1927, 900, :
900 represents the amount collected
last year. We estimate the income
from the tax this year at $25, 900. 900,
so that with s52, 900, 900, remaining
in the treasury, the immediate neces-
sity OF bond issue is precluded.
1.-THE treasury will close the current
fiscal year on June 80 with a total
deficit of about $50, 900, 600.

DOG is T. F. RYAN's eTARD.
Savage WoIf-Hound Is New York
Miliionaire's Companion,

New York - ferocious looking
wolf hound, powerfully built and
alert, has been installed in Thomas F.
kyan's home at 858 Fifth avenue. The
hound looks more like a real wolf than
like dog. Every time Ryan rides
In one of his autos the hound sits next
to the chauffeur and looks to be ready
for any emergency.
Ryan's auto was in front of his
home Sunday when the chauffeur came
out of the basement with the dog.
From the animals collar ran a heavy
steel chain and leather strap. The
chauffeur held on with both hands. He
was dragged by the hound toward the
auto. The dog jumped to a seat.
The driver fastened the strap to bar.
What kind of dog is that?" ask
ed reporter.
"A genuine wolf dog" replied the
chauffeur.
And he belongs to Mr.. Ryan,"
He surely does"
No attempt was made to interview
the wolf hound.

ORIGIN OF "YANKEE DOODLE"
Tune Is Believed to Have Pertalned
to Country Dance In a Ger
man Province.

Theories concerning the origin OF
the air OF Yankee Doodle" have been
almost as numerous as those touching
the birthplace of Homer.
One OF the most interesting and, II
Is thought. the latest speculation in
this regard comes from Germany. II
is contended that the tune originally
pertained to a country dance of the
district of the former province of Kur.
Hesse, that It was called the
"Schwalm." and that the air was also
played as military march by bands
OF Hessian troops during the war OF
the Revolution. In studying the
dances OF the "Schwalm," the German
authority was struck by their similar
ity In form and rhythm to Yankee
Doodle" 1t is assumed that, as many
OF the Hessians who served in Ameri-
ca were recruited In this district. they
carried "Yaisxee Doodle" with them.
Yet. while this theory may be car
rect as to the melody, 1t does not con-
vincingly explain its introduction into
America; for the air was played here
long before the Hessian troops came.
Mention OF 1t appears In newspaper
bearing date OF September, 1853, and
II is additionally supposed to have
been brought to the attention of the
colonial army in 1855. when DR..
schuckburgh, surgeon in the regular
British army. recommended 1t to the
colosials as "one Of the most celebrat-
ed airs of martial music."-The Sur
day Magazine.

TROOPS TO STAY ON BORDER


! Washington Troops now concen.
trating in San Antonio, Tex, are tc
be kept in that vicinity. SO are those
centering at San Diego, CAL, and al
Galveston. Tex. This statement is
made on the highest War department
authority, notwithstanding constant
rumors to the contrary.
| SO far as the navy ia concerned, It
Is declared that the gunbcats on the
East and West coasts Of Mexico and
Central America are simply exchang-
ing places.
The patrol work of the troops on the
Mexican border is arduous and trying,
and for this reason the War depart
ment is making plans for relieving
those now there after short time.
The men who are now doing the work
are to be relieved st intervals, but
there is no present intention on the
part Of the War department of in
creasing the number Of patrols.
II is declared even to be possible
that in the execution of the wishl of
President Taft to divest of an inter
national Significance the movement of
troops and naval vessels, the projected
joint army and navy maneuvers may
be abandoned. AS result, Admiral
Staunton, who has arrived in Cuba
with his armored cruiser, will begin q
series OF drills and evolutions in that
vicinity. Whether Admiral Stanton s
squadron will be sent to the Texas
coast at all will depend on develop
ments.
