WHAT SHOULD A
 COOK BE PAID?

Coblenz. May 21-The employ Army of Occupation. Take Coblenz for instance. All the hotels in the city have been requisitioned by the American army. Some of them have remained under German manage ment.
 An attempt toward standardizins wages is being made now by the va rious organizations in Coblenz which employ German help. 4 definite wage scale has been determined for all kinds of service from scrub women to head walters.
 No tips are allowed and an em- ployee in one of the Americanman- aged hotels who leaves without notice cannot be employed in another. This is a very necessary protective meas Cre taken as a safeguard against the constant shifting about of employees due to the prevalent industrial unrest. Orchestra prices also are standard ized a in most of the hotels the Ger man orchestra avs retained.
 An interesting incident showing the general attitude of German servants toward Americans, whose policy they believe to be more or less 1aissez fai- re, occurred the other day in the '. w. c. A. Hostess House.
 One of the maids from the kitchen went to Ruth Woodsmall, director of the House, as a special envoy from the rest of the kitchen personnel with the information that German law re- quires that the employee shall have rourten days notice before being dis missed that the employer shall pay his or her expenses in the hospital in case of illness and that one day off is granted every week.
 Miss Woodsmall waited until the information had been completely de- livered and then made very clear the fact that she knew very little about German law, and cared even less as the Army of Occupation, being Amer lean, recognized only American law. She assured the envoy that the Amer jeans would be fair and just but not according to German precedent. The answer seemed fairly conclusive. Nothing further has been heard from German servants.
 Practically all of the servants arc German in these hotels. At the Y. w, c. A. Hostess House, though, an American cook was needed in addi- ton to the German ones and Miss WoodsmaH requested of the com manding officer a cook who knew how to make the American pie which every doubhboy and officer expects at the Hostess House. The next morning an experienced army cook, long known by the Colonel, appeared at the door of the hotel with his pack on his back and full equipment prepared to stay. The order was put through by the same colonel who ob- jected to the Y. w. C. A. taking the hotel they did and "spoiling the best saloon In, Coblenz.''

ENGINEERING COURSES

One of the most popular divisions abled soldiers by the Federal Board for Vocational Education is that of engineering. in the various branches of which there are now IFS students, thus giving refutation to a somewhat prevalent idea that the vocational education available for disabled men is confined to manual trades, or ne- ceSsarily must be in wage-earning occupations. In this general classifi- cation, men are taking architectural engineering; 2, chemical engineering; and so are preparing to be civil en- gineers. Electrical engineering takes 90; general engineering, 25; mechan- ical, 22; mining. [; and steam, s.
 Indicating the character of insti- tutions at which these men are pur- suing their education, the following are being used: Harvard University, Massa achusetts School of Technology, Franklin Union, Boston, Hawley School of Engineering, New Bedford Industrial School. Saunders Trade School New York Electrical School, Mechanics Institute, Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, Rensselaer, Polytechnic School Columbia University, Heffly Institute, Lawrenceville Trade School Carnegie Institute.
