OF each lunch was approximately

The soup supplies approximately
one-third OF the needed noon nutri-

In the service of these lunches it
must be taken into consideration
that the committee are dealing with
three distinct nationalities-Ameri
can, Jewish and Italian. In order TO
satisfy national likes and dislikes,
they have provided In the districts
predominantly Italian. cooks OF that
nation, and similarly with the Amer.
lean and Jewish districts. In the
American schools half pint bowl OF
the following soups may be obtained:

get for breakfast, II anything, they
go to school and put in the day with
out any provision whatever for get
ting any luncheon, Whatever, IL any
thing. they get at home for their
evening meal is not very clearly

There is no escaping the fact that
this little army of school children
go to school every day in New York
without luncheon. While the boards
OF education in many other American
cities take care Of this situation. the
New York school authorities do not
bother themselves with the matter.
In New York the school authorities
spend fifty dollars every year for
each child In instruction, but they
do not concern themselves with the
fact that a hungry child makes a
poor student.

What kind OF lunch can possibly
be served for one cent? Well, that

THE story published in the Strand Magazine
pretending to explain the mysterious abandon
ment OF the brig Marie Celeste near the Azores
1873 Is ridiculous and preposterous yarn as has
ever come to my notice. According to the solution
given. the Survivors OF the Of the Marie
Celeste in found after his death and just
come to light through the enterprise of an Oxford
scholar, Captain Briggs, of the Marie Celeste became
"day" result Of rough weather encountered after
leaving New York.
What particular the skipper had to turn queer
because of bad weather is stated. Bad weather
condition generally met with at sea- and Is always
dealt with matter Of course, and least
to It With stanch hull strong rig and plenty of
searoom such that occupied by Marie Celeste
week out from New York, 1t Is not clear why bad
weather should affect the captain in such way
as 1t did
However, the captain went queer and persisted In
naming queer for the rest OF the trip. His idea to
build In the forward part of the brig just aft of the
catheads bridge gangway running athwartship for
his hve-year-old daughter must be attributed to his
mental condition. No would put bridge

he certainly ordered such bridge to be built
or II he did, his would surely have prevented
the from carrying out the order as being hin
drance to the manoeuvring Of the brig.
The skipper's subsequent suggestion to his mate to
swim alongside the brig with their clothes and the
following out OF this scheme by number OF the men,
plainly indicates II the story is to be believed that the
