Twenty-Five girls stood at a
long, white enameled table in a
big room in the basement of the
Central school yesterday.
Above the table was row of
one-burner gas stove. Below it
were drawers.
Each girl had a pan of hot wa
ter before her, and dishcloth or
dish-towel in her hands, and there
was a familiar clatter of pots and
pans.
1t looked like fun.
My recollections of stoves and
hot water and dishcloths and
greasy pots and pans are not par
ticularly pleasant.

Serve Lunch to Teachers.
They had been making cream
of celery soup. In rows on the
shelves of the clean, cool pantry
stood jams, jellies and canned
fruits they had put UP. In a
crock, the vegeta bles for today's
lesson on mustard pickles were
waiting in brine.
Soon the girls will begin serv-
ing daily lunch to eight teachers.
Part of the problem will be to
keep the cost of the lunch inside
of is cents.

Foley was beginner in the

After he had gone, Swimming
Instructor Capt. Carter decided to
make a thorough investigation of

As he approached the wa

saw the naked body of the
boy lying face upwards under
water at the shallow end of
the tank.
Swimming classes were sus-
pended indefinitely Friday noon
as a result of the accident. Cor

declared Supt. of Schools Geiger
Friday. 1--WE cannot understand
how the boy could possibly have
drowned with SO many of his fell
low school boys in the tank at the
same time. However, 1t occurred
and we are doing our best to UNI
ravel the mystery"
The drowning of young Foley
is the first accident of a serious
nature to have occurred since the
Lincoln Park tanks have been
opened. The tanks are patrorliz-
ed by hundreds of persons at both
the day and night classes. There
were no night classes Thursday
night.

AGAINST
PEACE
EFFORTS

ROME, Oct. 0.-The allies
have Informed the Dutch gov
eminent that any move to-
ward peace on the part Of
Holland would be construed
as a prO-German act, IL was
learned today.
This Is the first hint that Hol-
land has been feeling out peace
sentiment among the European
belligerents.
Exactly when this information
was sent to The Hague is not
known here. The fact that such
action was taken was disclosed in
discussion of the Lloyd-George
Interview, warning neutrals not
to intervene at this time.
Well informed circles here say
that the allies are reconciled to
the probability that the war will
last at least three years more.

When you were small boy,

were forbidden TO NEEDLE with his

And all because your hands
ached to make things.
What would you have done, II
somebody had taken you into a
room fitted with benches and
clamps and vises and lathes and
band saws, and planes and
squares and mallets and all kinds
of nails and screws, and every
thing arranged for the special
purpose not only of letting you
make things, but of showing you
how.
That's what the class of boys
in w. w. Cooper's room were en-
joying yesterday.
Learn Use of Tools.
The floor was nice and mussy
with shavings and sawdust, just
like a real shop. There were
stacks of just the right kind of
boards, and sheets of tin, and tin
smithing tools.
Mr.. Cooper, with his big apron
and his rolled-up sleeves, looked
like the boss workman on a big
job.
He was showing some of the
bigger boys how to repair the
schools bicycle racks. They were
planning the boards smooth, bor-
ing holes to counter-sink the
screws, and making a fine, neat
job of it.
I'VE don't try to teach the boys
special trades. he explained.
I'VE just let them find them
selves, and make them familiar
with the use of all sorts of TOOLS"
These are only a few of the
things that are taught in the pre-

these classes take the regular aca-

can make things without raiding

While Forty Boys
Are Near, Lad
Goes Down In
Shallow Pool.

Drowned in five feet of water in the shallow por-
ton of the boys swimming pool at Lincoln Park
High school, the body of Robert Foley, age Ia,
at II 30 o'clock Friday.
The boys parents Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Foley, had
made frantic search Thursday night for him, after
his failure to return from school, and had enlisted
the aid of police detectives.
Young Foley apparently drowned while class of
40 boys was taking swimming lessons from Capt. II.
II. Carter, instructor at the Lincoln pools, late
Thursday.
He was member of the last class of the afternoon.
Although boy in the class told the authorities
Friday that he had seen Robert in the dressing rooms
doing his clothes after the lesson the story is held
Jas doubtful.
Fail to See Body
1t is believed that Young Foley suffered either
from cramp or temporary weakness and sank to
the bottom of the large pool.
How his body could have lain in five feet of water
without some of the other boys of the class noticing
it, is something which the police and school authori
tinS cannot determine
