Officials &nd ticket takers at the sx-

At the cooking school, conducted by
Prof and Mrs. Sherwood p. Snyder,
several score students at washington
educational institutions were observed
yesterday paying the closest attention
to the lecturers and making copious
notes in books which they brought with
.shem. Prof. and Mrs. Snyder seemed
mighty gratihed over the presence Of the
coHeBe girls and the fact that they
made notes on the lectures. This, Prot.

housewives, who also made notes, were
genuinely interested and that the ex.

How Science Is Applied.
The subject OF yesterdays lecture was
THE Science Of Baking" 1t was illus
trated by the mixing Of the ingredients
OF bread, cake, and pastry in the model
kitchen by Prof. and Mrs. Snyder be-
fore the eyes OF the spectators. The
baking was also done in the model
Kitchen and the products exhibited to
the housewives and girls present.
During the course Of his lecture, Prof.
Snyder said:
ITO apply science to anything means
certain rules ard methods whereby sue
cess is guaranteed. Failures are i'm
possible. Science can be applied to the
preparation of foods, equally as much

The same rules apply equally in SHe

bakes a cake she must know the neces-

A Bit Sarcastic.
Few women realize that there is a
possibility of obtaining fixed results in
preparing foods. For example, most
women when they are baking a cake
express a hope that they will have
good luck. II they have good cake,
they have good luck: If they have
poor cake they have poor luck; sad
rake, sad heart. and the children have
indigestion"
Prof, Snyder was bit sarcastic
when he reached this part OF his talk.

Result of Careless Cooking.

the diseases from which mankind suf-
