Roeckel, one of the Oldest in service
and one of the most remarkable OF
French military aviators, has just been
killed in a flying accident at Villa
coublay, after risking death a thou
sand times over the enemy's lines.
Captain Roeckel was the. creator Of
the French system of regulating at
tillery fire from airplanes. Among his
exploits was the destruction of half CT
the artillery OF the Sixteenth German
army corps In the vicinity of Triau-
court, September 5, 1914. This achieve
ment provoked a general note by Mar

Two days after his success near
Triaucourt, Captain Roeckel, flying at
height of 800 yards, discovered the
position of division of Bavarian in
fantry in the region Of Vaux Marie

back to camp with his machine riddled
with bullets and shell fragments. When
the French infantry advanced and oc
cupied the position, they found 4,S00
dead Bavarians on the field, all vic,
tins of the French 3-inch field guns.
Captain Roeckel had won the cross

CAFETERIA is
To Be OPENED
At INDIANA U.
President Bryan Has Plan to
Serve Cheap Food on Cam
puS.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Sept. a.
One of the most pretentious of the
steps in the health program that In
diana University has mapped out for
the thousands OF students. which now
attend the state institution, was an
nounced today by President William
Lowe Bryan. When the university
opens for the fall term this year, 8
complete student cafeteria--to De
operated along unusual lines of econ
omy and hygiene-will be opened on
the university campus
Under the direction of the institu-
ton the best possible food will be
served students of the university at
the lowest practicable cost. 1t is hop
ed the scheme will work to such adj
vantage that in short time a great
saving will occur among the students,
who are now eating their meals In
boarding houses, fraternity houses, ho-
tells and similar places in Blooming
ton.
Student leaders already have en-
dorsed the plan enthusiastically, for it
had In it all the advantages to the
average student, who now eats at j
boarding house, that are possible in
the most hygienically operated eating
places Of large cities.
Miss Treat to Act.
Miss Nola Treat, who has had
charge of similar work at the Agricul-
tural College Of Kansas and who is
widely known for her work there as
assistant professor Of home economics,
will come to Indiana University to &C
cept the same title and personally to
direct the new student-eating- house
plan of the university.
Besides directing the new cafeteria,
Miss Treat will give courses in insti-
tutional management to prepare per-
sons for similar work in food conser-
walton and expert feeding Of large
numbers of persons, in other public III
situations. Glasses in home sanitation
at the university, according to the an
nouncement from DR.. Bryan here to-.
day, will use the cafeteria as labor
atory and the new eating place re-
peatedly will be scored" by students
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1917-09-14

and teachers for their instruction and
to assist in keeping the sanitary con-
ditions in the cafeteria at 100 percent.
Novel methods will be used to popu-
larize the new eating-place among the
students generally and it is predicted
confidentially by university officials
that eventually the cafeteria will be
supplying the food needs of thousands
of the students, who now eat in scat
tered boarding houses, at sums much
less than they have been paying in
former years for food that lacked the
supervision the university's cafe will
have.
DR.. Bryan announced that the uni.
versity officials have arranged to es-
tablish the cafeteria without making
draft on the university treasury at
this time, through an arrangement
which. it is believed, may work out so
we'll financially that the cafeteria will
never be drag on the university
treasury. Officials of the state school
have been deferred from carrying the
project through hitherto because Of
lack Of money for equipment.

THOUGHTS TO THINK
ABOUT

The truly wretched man is he
who has more than he can use;
the ma-l who has less than he
wants only thinks himself
wretched.
The man who has Jumped"
a job has more than likely failed
to make good; it will be hard
er for him to start in again than
it was for him to quit.
You cannot tell whether a
man will succeed or fail from
what he says he can do; man
never reaches his fullest stat
ure as man until he uses the do
ing plan rather than the talking
plan.
Somewhere in Richmond there
is someone who wants to buy
something that you have and
do not need or want. You can
get in touch with that someone
by putting a Want Ad in The
Palladium tomorrow. Telephone
1884 and ask for a Palladium
Want Ad Taker; describe what
you have for sale.
