No. you didn't have any hot food at
noon when you attended the little red
school to which you trudged over two
miles Of roads that always seemed
muddy, dusty, or waist deep with snow.
But wouldn't even a hot cupful of
cocoon have doubled your enjoyment of
the stone-cold lunch?
Few grown-ups eat absolutely cold
lunches day after day without grum-
bling. and yet that is what generations
of school children have been supposed
to do and to be able to recite bril-
liantly after stoking their little stom-
achs with that kind Of fuel.
Hot Lunches In Rural schooia
This is an age OF progress, and
what was considered good enough by
grandfather is scorned by his grand
son. Those who were In close touch
with the educational problem. both in
the city and country, realized what a
hanGicap the child labored under who
ate the average school lunch. The hot

Keep Cloth Looking Like New.


To have fabrics, after laundering
possess their original appearance, care
must be taken with colored materials
that they do not fade, and with white
materials that they remain snow white.
Aside from this, suggests the depart.
ment of agriculture, much depends on
the sizing of cloth. Too much stiffen.
Ing spoils Its appearance and too little
is quite as bad.
Most housekeepers use starch for
stiffening ordinary clothing. Starch
keeps the clothes clean longer and also
acts as an absorbent for stain, thus
saving wear on the fiber by making
excess friction In laundering unneces-
sary. Manufacturers add other sub.
stances besides starch to their finished
mixture and their practices have been
adopted In home laundry work with
success.
For instance, borax gives smooth.
ness; paraffin, wax or turpentine give
gloss; and alum a certain degree OF
pliability. The substance used to
whiten is bluing. which counteracts ths
yellow tinge. To use any finishing proc.
ess successfully the mixture must be
carefully worked into the fabric to
insure uniform finish. This is done by
dipping In and out of the starch and
bluing and rubbing well between the
hands.

In the bah game today, between the War eVts and Mesa at Riverside park, War Vets have more at stake than the mere winning of a victory over Mesa They are going into the sauab- ble with the purpose, as well, of show ing the general staff of the Great War Veterans association that, under Coach Francis Geary, they have a team that is worthy of the united support of the former service mems board of control In the demonstration of their ability to put up a standard grade of ball it is expected that the parent association will get behind an organized effort 10 establish a city ball park Thus, it may be set down that the War Vets today have a two-fold purpose in win ming the game,-first. to put it over Mesa, by whom they have been beaten twice this season; and, second, to show the Great War Veterans association the necessity of getting behind a ball park that will be a credit to the city and the fans of Phoenix.
