DIET CLASS COOKING
SAMPLED BY VISITOR

Mothers Pleased.

When Mere Man last night walked
into the class of mothers who are
studying cooking and dietetics at the
diet class being conducted by the Mon
roe Home and School Association at the
Wilson Normal building Wednesday
evenings little murmur Of surprise
greeted him. Had Mere Man come to
study cooking? When he had told
those in charge that he had not but,
rather had just dropped in" to see
what the school was teaching, and the
mothers learning the class resumed its
normal routine.
Then he sat down to ono of the
most novel experiences of his life
being the guest of a score of mothers
who had all prided themselves on their
knowledge of cooking. yet in the light
of higher. more scientific facts as pro-
pounded by the head of the class, ac-
knowledging that they had and still
were making grievous errors in their
own preparation of food. And-hereon
hangs the gist of this little tale
Mere Man, as the guest. was given
an opportunity to sample all the things
which were prepared.

Dishes Palatab1e and Wholesome.

Bear witness: Every dish prepared by
the school last night was palatable-
mighty palata ble-and wholesome, de-
spite the fact that in not one of them
were the methods ordinarily followed
by housewives used. according to state
ments made by members of the class.
or, SO far as Mere Man could remember
from glimpses of meal preparations on
which he had hitherto "peeked." But
let this he understood-no high IA
lutin'" operations were exploited. II
was q case of simple operations, but
with Il sound reason for every step
taken.
For instance. in melting butter for
cream sauce, do you, Mrs. Housewife,
place it over the fire? When you have
boiled eggs for breakfast. do you ac-
tualIy boil them? When you make oys-
ter broth for the sickroom. do you use
the oyster juice or water? When you
make beef broth. do you boil the beef?
If you do any one of these things, or

the city hall today that her legs are
still as timber as any gay, dancing
debutante.
She engaged in racing game of
hide and seek through the corridors
and downstairs of the City Hall today
and won every point of the game.
Mrs. Armour visited Chief Healey's
Office on the fifth floor of the City
Hall to see if she could identify Mel
vile Reeves as her robber.
Newspaper men got the tip and
lined up 20 strong, with camera men
for reinforcements, outside the chiefs
door. They wanted an interview. Did
they get one? Wait till Mrs. Ar
mour comes out of the chiefs room
and see.
Mrs. Armour emerged through the
chiefs door much after the fashion of
a German shell going for Petrograd.
Aided by her secretary and Police
Serg't Naughton she broke through
the line of newspaper men before the
first battery of questioners opened
fire. Then she beat it toward the

her, ready for action. The only thing

the tail of Mrs. AS gown vanishing
around a corner.

hind her. When she recovered her
breath she put Serg't Naughton's cap
over her face to foil the photogra-
pliers and made dash for the last
stairway.
She gained her position at the
street door with loss of nothing but
dignity and her breath and made a
wild leap for the door of her limou-
sine as the first of the chagrined war
correspondents reached its side. Then
she headed for Melody farm, which
has nice high fence around it.
Mrs. Armour said Reeves was not
one of the men who invaded her bou-
doir. Reeves now threatens suit for
false arrest.
Loop sheets came through for an
other fine layout of pictures of Mrs.
J. Og. Armour, the Armour home, the
Armour dog and columns of stuff
about the robbery in the master
butchers home last Sunday night,
when second story workers got
$500 of Mrs. Armour's precious
stones.
A $500 loss to Mrs. Armour is
scarcely penny in comparison with
Armour's wealth. An afternoon tea
or dancing party would cost more
than that. But it is giving the chance
most of the papers have desired to
take another whack at Chief Healey's
police rule.
Of course, the police had to arrest
some one, so they pinched Melville

game that will be played at the Au-
ditorium on the evening of March %
for the purpose of raising money to
provide for the marking of the Red
Line highway in Shawnee county, the
basketball season for Topeka will be
closed this week.
Tomorrow Washburn college is
scheduled to play its last game with
ottawa university at Ottawa. The
Washburn team has been working
hard and expects to win this game
and to pile UP a big score if possible
This will take some of the sting out
of the unsuccessfulness of the season
if it can be done, and the members
of the team want the consolation of
having at least won the last game of
the season. Also this will be the last
game IN the careers of several of the
players. including Dwight Ream and
Earl Trobert
The high school quintet also will
likely wind up its schedule Friday at
the First district tournament at Atch-
son, and will disband Immediately
thereafter unless it wins the tourna-
ment and thereby becomes a contest
ant in the state tournament that will
be held for the winners of the con-
gressional district tournament at En-
poria on March 10 and 90. Tonight
the high school team is scheduled to
play the Marysville high school at
