This morning at the corner Of Sec ond avenue and Twentieth street will he seen a sample trash can of the style the city commissioners are considering for distribution on all of the downtown street corners rhe can is making a very favorable impression on nearly all who see it, being artistic. neat and of very good general appearance
 The can now unaer consideration has been offsred to the commissioners by William Mudd, a well known Birming- ham man, who until recently has been living in california. The can, it is said
 is in use in Capifornia cities and it was from there that MT ATudd secured as a san.ole.
 The Ad club ana some few of the merchants, 1t is understood. have of fored some objections to the can on account of it's advertising features and also on the ground that it will not look good on the street corners and be detrimental Co the city beautiful movement. It is believed by the com missioners that the real objection is based on the idea. however, that a clothing firm, for instance, might place it's advertisement on a can on cor ner in front of competing firm. There can be but four advertisements on each can, but the commissioners state that they will have absolute con trol over this advertising, by means of which control they will not only see that competitor cannot advertise in front of his rivals store but that all

interesting. James Bowron in the discus sion stated that he thought it was wrong to pull q man away from home. once he had reached there at night. to come downtown and discuss matters similar to the problems which he had been attack ing all day at his office. Robert w.. Ewing suggested the compromise and President Shook agreed with that view. J. D. Moore moved that the time of holding the regular monthly meetings be fixed at o'clock in the afternoon. The bylaws of the organization fix tho date as the second Friday in each month. Mr. Moore's motion prevailed.
 Robert w. Ewing, president of the Board of Trade. brought up the matter of placing the trash cans on street cor ners, which the Board of Trade has been handling J. D. Rosenberger, chairman of the Board of Trade committee, took the floor and stated that his commit- tee had twice called on the city comInis- sioners in regard to the trash can prop osition. He said that the sample cans pr opposed were of galvanized iron and glass and that it was proposed tD place advertisements on the cans.
 Opposed by Merchants
 The principal opposition to the project comes from the merchants, who say it is not in accord with the city beautiful Idea, ana that IL uOeS IOt leIlu to hiuhc attractive the fronts of their stores. After much discussion in which many took part 1t was moved that the Cham Der of Commerce go on record as op- posing trash cans bearing the advertise ment of any firm upon it, but that 1t did favor the cans without the advertise ment.
 At former meeting of the board of directors the matter of appointing boy scout committee of the Chamber of Com rierce was left at the discretion of the president. Mir Shook brought up the matter in an informal way yesterday and suggested that in the event such a com r,ittee was formed it should he called a boys work committee or some similar title MT. Bowron said that he was rether inclined to. deprecate the idea of appointing such a committee at all, for the reason that the chamber already has a multiplicity of activities and that this would be a step into the field of socio- logical work: that if one phase of such work was taken up it would cali for more as time went on.
 Mr. Shook was apparently of the same opinion Harry Jones moved that the matter be referred to the board of direc- tors and this was done.
 The meeting yesterday was largely at tended and there was manifest q spirit of good feeling.

Cafeteria Proves Very Beneficial.

The cafeteria department of the
Hume Fogg High School is to-day
celebrating the first annual annIyer-
sary of its establishment. The
cafeteria was beGua year ago in the
nature of an experiment and has
proven so successful from various
staudpolnts that it is now one of the
permanent departments of the
school. The good AMI appetiliug
lnnchcs A. minimum prices have
made it possible for the msj0nty of
the children TO take their mid
aay meals at the school building.
and the wholesome food, attractive.
ly served, has made the cafeteria an
Immensely popular place. The ef-
feet of the wholesome food upon tire
health of the children has been not
cd as one of the coed results of the
cafeteria in addition II its enjoyable
and convenient features.

lunch room problems from a.. angles
and takes great pride in the prepar
alton of the various dishes that es-
peclally appeal TO the pupils. She
serves number OF original dishes
that have become very popular.
These dishes are prepared with the
thought always of their wholesome
ness and too,hsomeness.
Miss Barkley reports an average
of 500 persons served IN the lunch
room daily, all the pupils IN the
school patroni4ing the cafeteria dur
ing the week. The increase OF the
student body by SEQ at the opening
of the spring term has likewise in
creased the attendance in the lunch
rooms. Were it. not for the splend-
il system instituted by Miss Barley
in serving the pupils It would be
impossible for the crowds to lie
handled in the large groups in which
they come at the lunch hours with
the perfect order that prevails.
The ilach room IS also a popular
place with the grammar school
teachers of the oi,y, who hold their
regular weekly meetings at the High

the social hour preceding the bust
ness session
