her anchorage nine days ago by heavy
ice fields virtually was abandoned at

received from any of the steamers
which had been asked to look for her.
The search will be continued, however,

The lightship was a small vessel and
had neither wireless nor power. 1t is
now feared that the grinding she was
subjected to in the ice foes caused her

Because the public ignore the cheap
dishes and buy only "dainties," Direc-
tor Mallinson. head of the Edinburgh
communal kitchen scheme, has re-
signed. The scheme, he says. has
failed The idea was to provide
economical dishes for the people in the
poorer districts, but it was found that
instead of taking the cheap dishes.
such as stews and minced meats, the
people insisted on having roast beef,
fried fish and sweet buildings. The
cheaper foods were left unsold It
was also found, says Director Maliin-
son, that many people cooked their
ordinary meals at home and then went
to the Communal kitchens Tor after
course dainties. The object of the
scheme" he adds, has been defeated
by the unwillngness of the people to
