GARFIELD AND THE COAL
CONTROVERSY.

DIR. Garfield has resigned, his
Job as federal fuel administrator
because he doesn't approve of
the method of settling the strike
and getting the miners back to
work, Particularly he objects to
the plan Of having a commission
of three men, one representing
the miners. and the second the
operators and the third the pub
lie to investigate and make rec
ommendations for the final ad-
iustment of the matters at issue.
DR.. Garfield seems to think that,
the miners and operators having
common interest, wages and
prices of coal will be boosted.
with the public paying the bill
since the people have only one
representative
1t appears that Dr. Garfield
proceeds on the assumption that
the Lever act. under which the
fuel administration is authorized
to fix prices. will be in force
when the final settlement is eff
fected, but the Lever law, being
wartime measure, viii in all
probability be dead before the
final agreement between the
miners and operators is reached.
Unless congress should see fit to
enact additional legislation. the
government would have no au-
thority to control prices and
hence. whether it should have one
or a dozen representatives, on the
commission. all the influence it
would have would be that de-
rived from public sentiment. It'll
would seem. therefore. that the
former fuel administrator is un-
duly worked up over the method
that was adopted for winding mp
the controversy.

END OF THE WORLD.

For thousand years and then
some. prophets have been arising
TO proclaim the startling news
that the end Of all earthly things
is at end, warning mankind that
Gabriel is just about to blow hs
horn and sending shiyvcrs down
the spinal column Of the supersti-
tious. Sometimes the colossal
catastrophe is to be caused by an
enormous comet swishing it's tail
and wiping ont everything that
happens to be in its path. Again
devotees of peculiar religious
sects see ominous signs OF fulfill
ment Of prophecy and bid us pre-
pare for the final wind-dp OF
mundane affairs.
Not infrequently, the prophets
fix the precise date when the
huge spectacular performance Isl
to be pulled off. All these pre-
dictions have come to naught in
the past but that doesn t keep
others Of the same kind from
gaining currency from time to
time. Exactly how the report
that cosmic cataclysm is sched-
uled for Dee II originated, no

Might Crowd Our Churches

The beauty of st. Patrick's Cathedral,
Fifth Avenue and Fiftieth Street. offers
to the visitor lovely marble Ladys
Chapel, exquisite chapels and affairs,
and a marvellous series of windows, ali
made in France. The Cathedral of St
John the Divine, at Amsterdam Avenue
and 10th Street, has a new chapel
every time one goes to church there
If one doesn't overdo church goingl
Few New Workers are acquainted with
the quiet loveliness of the Paulist
Church, hidden by the elevated at Co.
lumbus Avenue and Fifty-ninth Street.
The interior contains work by Saint
Gaudens, Stanford White, MacMonnies
and La Fargo. If you are doing
churches, don't forget the John Street
Methodist Church, way downtown, op-
poslte the end of Dutch Street, quaint,
severe little structure with a gallery
and oldfashioned pews.
Every time some enterprising real
estate agent talks about replacing the
building with commercial skyscraper
the suggestion IS revived of hosting the
little house of God right up in the air
and setting it on the roof of the new
lofty building!
You're free to drop in at any of these
places. They are open on Sunday and
some work all the week round You
needn't expect the priest to come down
from the altar to welcome you, nor the
usher to put you in the pew of the
heaviest subscriber, but the beauty of
the world has been gathered into these
buildings for those who can appreciate
it. If we charged an admission to our
churches they might be fuller than they
are. There's lots of joy in going to
church for those who know how to
do it.

and wise use of 'native foods" The
feeding of the children, teaching them
to eat oatmeal when you can catch them
young, is one thing But there is no
reason why the adult Italian should n I:
be given his thick soup, nutritious
cheese, healthful salad with oil dressing
and beloved fish. 1t is just as we'll bal
anced ration, perhaps better one,
than the pet American dishes of corn
beef and cabbage, baked beans, pie and
ham and eggs. The important thing is
to furnish the working mother especially
with we'll cooked, wholesome meal for
the family, at cost. A provincial atti-
tude toward the tastes of the commu-
nifty to be served also accounts in part
for some of the failures.
From all this you will realize the OBJ
stacles which the community kitchen
must overcome if it is ever to be the sue
cess which we hope and believe that it
will be in the course of time, for there
is no question in any ones mind that
the community kitchen is bound to be-
come sooner or later one of the institu-
tions of this country

War Kitchens Succeed
Why Not Peace Kitchens?

During the war three community kit
chens were established in different parts
of the city by the National League for
Woman's Service. These were intended
to help the woman whose husband was
in the service, and who, therefore, was
obliged to go out to work to help sup
port the family. She could go to the
kitchen at the close of her days work
and get hot soup or stew, or even
whole meal for her children, and thus
save the time and labor of preparing
New-York tribune., 1919-02-16

them. Moreover, her children could OBJ
tain hot luncheon for five or six cents
These kitchens we're well patronized
and became almost self-supporting mote
thisD, but the labor was all volunteer
and with the signing of the armistice
enthusiasm died out, and one by one the
kitchens went out of existence. This
fact cannot be laid to lack of apprecia-
ton, and one of the pioneer workers.
Mrs. Irving Brock, refused to accept de-
feat. With the permission Of the Ma
tional League, she took the equipment of
one Of these kitchens to the Warren
Goddard Settlement, in East Thirty
fourth Street, where she is conducting
to-day school lunch room. From
eighty to one hundred children who
otherwise would go back to school
luncheonless are served daily with a
hot, nutritious meal for the sum Of 5
cents. This luncheon kitchen has proved
so successful that Mrs Brock feels ius
titled in opening again real community
kitchen where the mothers of the dis
trlct can procure cooked meals for their
families when they come home from
their days work too tired to prepare it
themselves, and the league is taking
steps to reorganize the work on its war
scale.
AS matter of fact, there are all
sorts of movements in the air for the es-
tablshment of community kitchens, but
we all realize from former experiences
that an infinite amount of patience and
tact is necessary to make these anything
like the success they should be. There
isn't much chance for the success of
the plan, which has recently been
evolved by one woman, to establish a
kitchen under the directorship of a

School Lunches the Best Fore
Runners of Community Kitchens

The question of the success of COM
munlty kitchens all comes down to the
matter of education, and it is the firm
conviction of at least two experts on
the subject, DR.. S. Josephine Baker, of
the Health Department, and Dr. Mary
Schwartz Rose, of the New York Fed
eral Food Board, that this must be ac-
complished through the children. If the
children can be taught to eat and to
really like the wholesome, nutritious
food which the dietitians of the commu-
nifty kitchen provide for them they will
demand the same sort of food at home.
and what the children eat their elders
will eat.
And SO it all comes down to the burn
ing question of school lunches If the
children can be given a wholesome, pal
atable luncheon every day we shall be
killing two very large birds with one
stone: we shall not only be building I'D
the undernourished children but we
shall be demonstrating to the parents
Of these children the fact that their off
spring will take as kindly to the nutri-
tious foods provided by the detitians as
they do to the less wholesome but more
familiar dishes on which they have been
brought up.
Of course, there can be no question
in the minds Of any of US as to the ad-
visibility Of furnishing luncheons in dis
tricts where the children are left to get
their own meals either from the left
overs IN the pantry or from the corner
delcatessen store or ice-cream parlor.
1t seems just as necessary to provide
these lunches as to provide textbooks
or other school equipment, and when
you also realize that the establishment
of these school lunch rooms will serve
the double purpose of educating the
grown-ups of the neighborhood out of
their food prejudices," thus paving
the way for community kitchens which
will grow and flourish like those of
which st. Louis is Justly proud, wa can
hardly wait to see the first lunthroom
established and the machinery set in
motion.
