Poor Folk Using Portable Kitchens.

Berlin.--The portable field kitchens
which the soldiers call "goulash can
non" are being introduced into the
streets of the poorer sections of Ber-
lin, selling warm dinners to all-com-
ers for 35 pfennigs proportion. The
town council of Lichtenberg, big
suburb 10 the north of Berlin, was the
first to adopt the idea. Many of the
working people have no time to cook
for themselves, and they can be far
more cheaply fed by cooking en- masse
at central points and distributing the
food through the field kitchens.
The Easements of some big school
houses have been fitted up as kitchens
where in huge boilers, each holding
over hundred gallons, meat and vege-
tables by the wholesale are converted
into palatable stew. The ''goulash can
ron which haul the product through
the streets for sale are each provided
with boiler under which low fire is
kept burning.
The idea has become so popular that
it is predicted that the "goulash can
non" will long survive the war which
popularized It

All OF the complimentary things
which have been said about Boyle

more than sustained by the clever per-
formers who are appearing for the
week at the Columbia theatre, Daven-
port, as the last attraction for the sea-
son. The opening bill yesterday was

/ ton, is a versatile singing comedian
and he is given fine support by the
pretty and dainty Harriet Lee Minnie
| Pillard and J. Flanagan take the COM
edy roles in a highly satisfactory man
ner, putting on burlesque waltz that

noteworthy being the selection of the

bellished with a scenic display which
more than equals that of more pre-
tentious attractions. Today the COM

Boyle Voolfolk, the musical comedy
producer, arrived in Davenport this
morning from Oakland, Cal, after
staging the musical comedy company
for the Orpheum theatre at that city,
which has been pronounced the big
gest hit of the year for Oakland. Mr..
| Woolfolk's mission in Davenport is
to see that the La Sale Musical Com
edy company is staged in the most
finished manner, as he has a tender
feeling for Davenport and wants the
public to see the show at the very
very advantage. John Mulgrew OF
Dubuque, author of the Junior Fol-
lies of 1915" and other successes, Is
in Davenport to submit new book
for a musical comedy he has been
writing at the request of Messrs Blan-
chard and Voolfolk for their next
show, which will be produced this
summer in Chicago. When interview
ed this morning the magnates admit
ted that they had several new sur
prises they were going to stage for
vaudeville for next season, one OF
which will be an idea never before at
tempted for the varieties, a serial
vaudeville act that is looked upon by
) the producers to be the hit of the year
Mr.. Woolfork stated he was going tc
give the tri-city folk a treat for Wed.
nesday night by having the chorus
girls give contest. This has beer
done only once before by him and
proved to be a riot for the onlookers
The girls are talented and should give
a good account of themselves.

At midnight Wednesday the contract
under which the street car employees
are working expires. Should there be
no agreement reached before then it
is quite likely that the matter will
have to be presented to board of ar
bitration, one member of which will
be appointed by the company, anoth-
er by the union men, and the third by
the two first named on the board.
Predictions were general that the
employees would accept the proposal OF
the company Sunday morning. The
executive committee had been in
structed to secure what the men
termed a suitable scale and when the
special meeting was called it was
thought that the committe had been
offered a schedule which would be sat
isfactory to the union.
Resume Conference.
A meeting was held this morning by
the officials of the company and the
executive committee. Nothing was &C
complished at the session and a recess
was taken until $50 o'clock this af-
ternoOn when the conference was re-
sumed.
