II consists OF a cup Of black coffee and
a hunk Of dry bread There is a plate
OF butter before YOU which you may eat
or not as you please. The first real
meal comes at 11-30. It is called al
muerzo: IL begins with cold meats, a
stuff on top. Then follows a soup. after
which comes the beef and bones that
were cooked in the soup. Sometimes
the soup has also vegetables and you
get these with the beef. The next
course is some other meat or chicken
cooked Spanish style. and after that a
mutton chop or beefsteak with pOta-
toes on the side. The almuerzo usually
closes with fruit and black coffee
Dinner is served at $3.50. It is known
as cOTnida. II is much the same as the
almuerZo, except that there is an extra
course or so and a dessert. A very La1r
wine is served with these two meals
without extra charge. The cooking is
not good from an American standpoint
Nevertheless the passengers seem TO be

DOVER, Del. April 23.-Announce-
ment that Woodland Beach, which is
being reclaimed gradually from the
encroachment of the Delaware Bay,
would not be opened until next Sum
mer was made in Dover this week
by James r. Mott. whose expenditure
of money in building roads. dikes and
bridges has puzzled persons skeptical
over the outcome.
Mr.. Mott said that he was entirely
satisfied with the progress of the
work and that he and his road build
ers were ahead of the schedule ne had
planned
There will be nothing at Woodland

Mott. but next summer will see ex-

this spring, and we're delighted over
the change.
