The reason why all forms Of meat,

One of the most progressive organiza-

furnish social and athletic recreation for

THE Y. NJ A.
The first meeting of the new Board Of
Directors of the Y. M. A. was held last
Monday evening at the offices of the Jew
ish Associated Charities. Judging from
the interest and enthusiasm displayed the
coming year will be an eventful one in
the annals of the Y. M. A. AS in the
past the primary object of the organiza-
ton will be to assist the charities in their
relief work, and plans are being made
to enroll every Jewish young man in the
city as a member The dues have been
within reach Of everyone. Many other
activities are also planned for the coming
year. It is the aim of the Y. M. A. to
bring together all the Jewish young men
Of the city for their own welfare and for
the welfare Of the community. Social meet
ings are to be held several times during
the year, and men Of national prominence
are to be entertained on their visits to
the city.
Perhaps the most important work which
the Y. M. A. will undertake is social serv-
ice health campaign is being planned
in which hygiene and the prevention of dis
ease will be brought before the public by
means of booklets and addresses by men
of prominence in these fields. The Jul
venile committee plans in cooperation with
other organizations to undertake welfare
work amongst the boys of the city, and all
the other committees are planning con-
structive work in harmony with these ac-
tivities, so that the material needs Of the
charities may gradually be diminished.

Two very striking facts present
themselves to those who have noticed
our country roads this season. The
first fact Is that proper drainage is
vitality necessary in order to have a
permanently good road. The second
fact is that well-graded and drained
earth road, when dragged regularly,
will give US a passable and fairly good
road even under abnormal weather
conditions. Some Of the best roads we
have passed over this season have
been simply dirt roads receiving log
drag treatment. Some of the worst
roads we have gone over this season
have been extensively graveled roads
which have not been bad simply be-
cause of lack of drainage. The fun
damental principle Of road building
after all is said and done, is to so
grade our roads and provide drainage
that the water can get away.
Sentiment in the middle West
seems to be gradually settling down
to the opinion that good roads are
necessity and not a luxury. Build
ing roads for automobile owners now
means building roads for farmers and
not for city people alone. The farm
tractor and the farm truck of the fu-
ture will further emphasize the i'm
portance of good country roads. The
only thing that must be insisted on is
that roads must be made of the best
materials at hand, and the work must
be done under the supervision of those
who understand road-making. This
supervision naturally adds to the
cost. Another thing that must be
understood is that maintenance of
the road year after year, prompt at
tention being paid to repairs, is just
as necessary as the first construction.
We predict that good-road building
will continue to be one of the most
popular subjects for discussion for
the next few years. The proposed
federal aid for road building, provid-
ing $75,000,000 to be spent during the
next five years when similar sum is
raised by the local community, means
that national system Of roads is to
become reality. The states, like
wise are becoming more liberal in
spending money for highways. From
an agricultural viewpoint, the most
desirable help to the good-road pro-
paganda just now must come from
the individual farmer when he real

In the belief that hot dish at
noon, if only bowl Of milk soup or a
cup of good cocoa, is highly import
ant to school children, many schools
throughout the country are either
supplying a regular hot luncheon to
school children, or are providing a
single hot dish with which the chill
dren coming from distance can sup
plement the cold food in their lunch
baskets. In most cases the children
bring money with them and buy the
dishes at cost price. Those in charge
of the lunch room see to 1t that moth
ing is for sale that would be hurtful
to the children, and direct them in
their purchases so that they will not
buy merely sweets or pastry. This
overcomes the danger of the child's
spending his last money unwisely or
patronizing an insanitary shop.
To assist schools wishing to under
take this desirable activity, either
through teachers or groups of CO.
operating mothers, the home ecno-
mics specialists of the department, in
Farmers Bulletin No. TIP, suggest
the following economical and easily
prepared bills of fare for the school
lunch:
1. Vegetable-milk soup, crackers,
rolls, fruit, plain cake.
2. Meat and vegetable stew, bread
and butter, sweet chocolate.
3. Boiled custard, lettuce sand
witches, fruit, cookies.
4. Dried Goldfish chowder, crackers,
fruit, maple-sugar sandwiches.
5. Bean soup, crackers, baked APP
pies, sponge cake.
In addition the school can serve hot
cocoa, cooked fruits, berries, and Ii
quid or other foods which it is diff
fcult to carry in baskets. Almost
any school by the use of paper cups
can make good milk available to chill
dren at noon. The school can also
place on sale good simple cookies,
zwieback, or crackers supplied from
the outside.
AS the serving of an entire lunch
con calls for considerable equipment
and dish washing, many country
schools will find it easier to supply
simply one hot dish, a cup of cocoa
or a glass of milk. The milk could
easily be provided through arrange
ments with parents or nearby farm
ers, and is particularly useful to
children in warm weather when it is
impracticable for them to bring bot
ties of milk in their baskets.
In a number of city schools the
pupils are provided with trays and
help themselves to foods. placed on a
counter. At the end of the meal they

visor is employed to regulate all the
public-school lunch rooms. In other
schools the preparation of lunches is
made a practical exercise for classes
in cooking and domestic science.
1t is in the small country schools
with only one teacher, however, that
the midday meal presents the most
difficult problems. Only a teacher
with ingenuity and enthusiasm for
her work can carry out the plan, and
even with such teacher the active
cooperation of parents is highly i'm
portant.
The simplest equipment includes a
large kettle, measuring cup and
spoons, pairing knife, mixing spoon,
dish pans, and towels. The pupils
should be willing to bring plates,
cups, bowls, and spoons from home.
The boys and girls can easily make
curtained shelves for the utensils. A
fireless cooker, which permits the pre-
paration of meat stews, meat and
bean soups, and cereal mushes, can
easily be made by the pupils as
class exrcise.
The older girls, taking turns in
groups, commonly prepare the spec
ial dish for the day. In good wealth
err the luncheon can be served out of
doors, but at other times it may be
necessary to serve it on the children's
desks. This will not be Objectionable
if the desks are first cleaned and
covered with clean paper or paper
towels, and if the building is well
ventilated and screened against flies.
Safe water for drinking, washing
hands, cooking, and washing dishes
is essential, and any water that is at
all doubtful should first be boiled.

Method of Patching Holes

The modern scheme Of protecting
road surfaces with sprayed oil has de-
veloped new method of patching
holes. Gravel is mixed with a heavy
road oil, which acts as binder. This
is prepared in advance and carried to
the place where the patching is to be
done. Less gravel is needed than when
it is used dry, because the hole need
be filled only level and tamped, while
with the ordinary method the patch
ing gravel must be heaped above the
normal surface of the road. Where
patching on a large scale is to be
done, concrete mixer can be used
to prepare the mixture.-Popular Me-
