Interest Increased by Manner in
Which Lessons Have Been
/ Defined.
SEEK TO END DRUDGERY
Demonstration Will Show Eas-
lest and Most Effective
! Methods for Kitchen.

Interest In the free cooking school and
food show The Times is preparing 10
give every day next week at the Arcade
Auditorium has been especially aroused
by tho manner in which the scientific
cooking lessons have been defined by
those in charge. Mr. and Mrs.
Sherwood p Snyder. OF the West
field Domestic Science and House
hold Appliance Exposition, who
have been secured by The Times and
the Mcclure publications to conduct
these lectures and demonstrations, wish
TO impress upon the housewife that
their work is scientific. in the true sense
of the word. Scientific means useful
knowledge acquired by observation and
practice, they state. Thus, the women
who have discovered the most efficient
way to clean their kitchen sinks have
discovered the most scientific way Of
doing 1t.
Drudgery Eliminated.
Scientific, therefore, means the most
efficient way of doing the work of the
household and the value of the lectures
and demonstrations lies in the fact that
the lecturers and demonstrators have
been trained to observe household meth
oda and have worked out a practical
way to solve all home problems so that
household drudgery is eliminated
The lectures by Mr.. Snyder at cooking
classes in other cities have been largely
attended. Unlike many cooking demon
Rtrations nothing is left to the imaglna-
tion of the audience. Everything enter
ing into the recipe is shown to the
class and explained. The mixing. bak-
ing. and care of the article after cook
Ing Is carefully explained. These cook
ing demonstrations are conducted In full
view of the class in model kitchen
and white tiling, and equipped with all
the latest time and labor saving de-
vices
The baking contest winners will be
rewarded with prizes of substantial
character, ranging from an automatic
cook stove, a kitchen cabinet or
vacuum cleaner to a barrel of -four or
case of spices. The judging is done by
Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder. Afterward the
entries are turned over to committee
from the Associated Charities and the
articles sold. the money being gift
from The Times to further the work OF
that association. In other cities sums
ranging from $50 up have been secured.
Free "MOvies" Too.
The educational motion pictures at
night. which are also free. will give
everyone an opportunity of seeing how
the nationally known foods are pre-

Warburg Tells Credit Men What
Business Must Do to Pre-
serve Stability.

NEW YORK. Jan. 26.-The United
states, maintaining its creditor POSI-
tiOn, will be so greatly strengthened
as compared with the nations OF
Europe that it will almost inevitably
become the worlds banker, regard
less of the outcome of the war. ac-
cordinS to Paul NJ. WarburE. Of the
Federal Reserve BOARD, who spoke on
"Some Economic Problems OF the
Day" at the midwinter meeting and
dinner OF the New York Credit Mems
Association at the Hotel Astor. He
outlined what the bankers and bust
ness men Of this country must do to
preserve the stability of American
finances There were 1000 members
present.
The speaker pointed out that be-
tween countries of fairly equal
credits low interest rates would have
the tendency Of driving gold to that
center where it could earn the high
est return.
While abnormal conditions have
for the present destroyed the power
or interest rates TO direct the flow OF
gold" said Mr., WarburE sooner or
later normal laws of economies will
again assert themselves. and we must
iheu expect that, owing to the in
nation OF currency created in almost
every country involved i'm the war,

Keen and determined. We may then
lave to part with very large sums OF
gold, but we must so direct our course
as to be able to control this outflow
and let this take place without Great
ing disturbances in our own economic
life"
Hold In Reserves.
The United States, Mr. Warburg as
serted. must keep its powder dry" by
holding in reserve the essential strength
OF the Federal reserve banks, not only
10 meet any possible drain or emergency
but also, so far as possible. to offer q
check to initiation.
He maintained that this country mus
greatly increase the degree OF its con
troll over its current gold supply, as
sembling as far as possible even the
gold carried in the pockets OF the pub
lie: that IL must take care not to de
EtrOy at this time the basis OF its fu
ture lending power, and that all foreign
loans during the war should be OF rea
sonably short duration so that contru
Os this country's sold might be kept Il
