Mrs. Vaughn Says Cooking Is Basis for
Civilization and Believes in U.s.
ing Modern Ideas.
URGES WOMEN TO SHARPEN
UP INTERROGATION POINTS
Evident From Way People Talk About
Capital Journals Free Cooking
School Many Will Attend.

Mrs. Kate B. Vaughn, who will talk
to and cook for Salem women, next
week, would certainly be gratified to
know of the interest which is being
manifested in The Capital Journal Free
Cooking School. No effort will be
spared to make the main auditorium of
the Armory very comfortable place
in which to spend the afternoon all
next week. The stage will be trans
formed into a most complete and con-
venient kitchen with kitchen cabinet,
tables, and modern cooking utensils.
Many of these innovations will prove
interesting to some of Salem housewives
when Mrs. Vaughn explains and demon
strates their use Mrs. Vaughn is going
to show Salem housewives something
about southern cooking next week. This
is a subject many Salem women will
hail with delight as an old friend, for
many families of Salem originated in
the south, and many women pride them
selves on being good Southern Cooks.
They will enjoy camping Mrs Vaughn s
dishes and discussing her methods. Mrs,
Vaughn is looking forward to meeting
Salem housewives and feels that The
Capital Journal Cooking School will be
an exceptionally interesting one, and it
is evident from the way people are
talking about it that she is not to be
disappointed.
Mrs. Vaughn is at once progressive
and cold fashioned" She believes ag-
gressively that the home is woman 3
sphere, but she is just as aggressive in
her belief that woman should bring
every modern idea and appliance which
is worth while, into household use. Mrs
Vaughn is heartily in sympathy with
young girls who want to do things af.
ter new and up.tO-date methods. She
has come in close touch with young
women all over the country who are
strongly interested in domestic science
and she has made it a point to en-
courage and advise them in every way
possible. She has done university ex
tension work which has brought her in
direct contact with domestic classes OF
the high schools, and she finds that the
young women in many states she has
visited, are deeply interested, She says
no one ever heard tell of u student
"cutting" her domestic science hour
and she feels convinced that this study
Of housekeeping from a scientific stand
point is going to bring about a much
needed reform in housekeeping. Mrs,
Vaughn says, "We live in an age of
reforms and upheavals We hear some.
thing new every day about prison re.
forms, school reforms, reforms in tho
political and business world, but at
the root and bottom Of all these evils
is the badly managed home, just as
truly as the well-managed home max.

More Cooks Than Anything Else
More people are engaged in cooking
than any other profession in the world,
1t is true in more senses than one that
too many cooks spoil the broth. " The
same cooks are spelling many things
beside broth. 1t is hard to say just
how far the effect Of n badly cooked
meal, by an unframed cook reaches.
Perhaps sometimes it is felt in the
making Of the country's laws. Per.
haps the decision Of the Judge on tho
bench is influenced by what he ate for
lunch. Perhaps Johnny suffers at
school because Of teachers undigested
breakfast. Shall we have trained jock.
