During these rest periods, which

OF late, however, it has fallen some
what into disrepute. Intended or
iginally to provide relaxation from
too steady and intense application
of the worker to his job, many en-
ployers insist that nowadays it is
supertiuous-that the average en-
ployee, at his present rate Of activ-
ity, gets quite enough rest and
relaxation during his working hours.
Viewed in this light. it does seem
rather aabsurd to adopt a smoking
and chatting period to increase a
factory's output.
But perhaps that factory is
right. Though it may not seem so
in this abnormal era Of industrial
unrest, the principle is certainly
right in the long run. Anybody, in
any job, can do better work by

EXPERT SWIMMER
TO TEACH 4Y GIRLS
Miss Eta Mckay Latest Ad-
dition to Physical De-
partment.

Miss Eta Mckay: generally con-
sidered one of the most expert swim
mers and best swimming teachers in
the country, has been selected as
instructor Of swimming in the Wash
ington Y.W.C.A. Miss Mckay, who is
a familiar figure to Washingtonians,
through her activities last summer at
the bathing beach. and who is the
latest addition to the staff of instruc-
tors of the physical department, Will
be in charge of acquaics at the pool
maintained by the association at ITS
street branch. She is a native of
Scotland and has been in the United
States about six months.
That Miss McKay's selection will
give great impetus to the utilization
of the fine pool maintained by the
"Y," is the conviction of Mrs. Helen
Moore, new head of the physical de-
partment.
This pool, by the way. is about as
fine a one as could be found, accord
ing to a statement made today by Mrs.
steal department of the ''Y' last
August, and who is thoroughly famil-
lar with many of the best women's
pools.
1T is clear as crystal; the filter
and pump work twenty-four hours
a week. or oftener than is really nee
essary in view of it's appliances, and
the air filter keeps the atmosphere as
fresh as the water she said. Il
watched Miss Mckay the other day
and could see her swimming at the
bottom as plainly as one can see a
trout in a crystalline brook" She
added that this transparent effect had
been gained only recently through a
change in the method of using the
filtration appliance, and that previous
to that time the water, although ex-
actly as sanitary and beneficial, had
an uninviting milk appearance. Now
patrons of the pool can see the fresh
water constantly running in.
Mrs. Moore is graduate of the
Chicago Normal School of Physical
Education and for the past eight
years has been a member of the fac
ulty of that institution. Her staff
for the winter. besides Miss Mckay,
consists of Miss Rena Miner. private
school work; Miss Rudith Williams,
dancing; Miss Agnes Campbell, who
has general supervision of the pool,
and Miss Geraldine Knowles, regular
evening gymnastics.

STREET CAR MEN OPEN
LUNCH OF THEIR OWN
Union Invests $4,000 in Scheme
and Plan Is Already Assured
Su- cess.

Washington street car men. weary
of cold midnight lunches and en-
forced waits for quick lunch service,
have gone into the cooperative lunch
room business, according to officials
of the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway EMPLOYEES.
Division No. $50, following the close
OF the probationary period for the op-
Grafton of their experimental Coop
eratlVe lunchroom near the navy yard
car barn.
The union invested $4,000 in lunch
room appurtenances, secured the serv-
ices of three chefs who had been
working at various hotels. put them
on three shifts. and opened the doors
of the Street Garments Lunch
The executive board of the union is
the directing force behind the lunch
room. 1t is already on a paying basis,
and the street car workmen lunchroom
managers are planning an extension of
the facilities.
1t is estimated that the institution
will clear at least S25 per day All
of this will be placed in the treasury
OF the company. One proposal is that
when the fund mounts into the thou
sands, as 1T is expected to, the money
be used to build a clubhouse for the
use of the men.
The lunchroom venture started three
weeks ago, and up to the LIST of Oc-
tober $500 meals were served. 1t is
now an assured project.
The average cost of dinner is ap-
proximately 25 cents, it was esti-
mated. At this rate approximately
S1.700 was taken in by the newly es-
tablished lunchroom since it's opening.

NP|ECEMEAL" RAIL
PAY HELD ILLEGAL
Limitations Under Guaranty
Stated by Controller of
Treasury.

"Piecemeal' payments to railroads,
OF money due them under the guar
anty provisions of the transportation
act of last March will not be made
in the future, according to a ruling
made by W. w. Warwick, controller
of the treasury, and no more dis
bursements of that nature will be
made until final accounting is rem
dered and the government can settle
its obligations in full.
1t is estimated that there is about
S600,000,000 yet to be paid out under
the act. and payments already made
guaranty expired September l and
payments already made were in the
form of advances against estimated
deficits.
Il think the law contemplated the
adjudication and final settlement of
these claims soon as practicable
after the expiration Of the guaranty
period" the decision stated. THE
need of certain carriers for funds is
recognized, but this office may not
construe the law to authorize the
payment of public money except in
such amounts and at such times as
Congress has authorized by law, no
matter how urgent the needs of
claimants"
To permit payments "piecemeaP
"Oulu entail d ntNtT CHILLING re-
vision" of the carriers accounts by
the Interstate Commerce Comm sion,
the controller said. adding that 1t
must be assumed that since the law
made provisions for protecting the
government where advances were
made against estimated deficits prior
to September, it would have carried d
similar provision for the govern
ment's protection against overpay-
1nent had it been intended TO make
payments similar to advances after
the guaranty period ended.
The decision was rendered on APP
p,ications by the Grand Trunk West
ern railway and the Detroit. Grand
Haven and Milwaukee railroad.

FAMOUS SALTWATER RESORT
WILL BE OPEN TO PUBLIC

]. M. Vogeli, who lately took over
the Saltwater hot water resort, in
cluding the hotel, will open his
place to the public on the evening
of Saturday, December 4th, with "a
grand ball and an old fashioned
chicken supper that will be worth
going many miles to participate in.
Mr.. Vogeli has installed a new dane
ing floor, a lighting system and the
resort has been modernized in every
way. He is a caterer of many
years experience and his place is
certain to be very popular with peo-
pie in western Nevada in search OF
good health and also recreation. An
other appurtenant added TO his
place is an electric orchestral which
will be on hand at all times to
punctuate footsteps on the dance
floor, which is available for the re-
sort patrons.
Mr.. Vogeli is extending a cordial
invitation to the people of this val
ley to come to his opening and a
good crowd will undoubtedly be on
hand to dance and eat and then
dance some more to the strains of a
5-piece orchestra.

dishes or twenty sandwiches will be
sold at one dollar each. Pupils who
do not have the ticket may pay
cash for their meals each day.
Tickets may be purchased with cash
or with produce that can be used In
the preparation of the lunches. Pro-
duce from the following list will be
accepted and paid for in meal tick
cts: celery, carrots, turnips. pota-
toes, beans dry, cabbage. chickens,
fresh beef and fresh pork. Patrons
before bringing produce should
write or phone Supt. J. J. Beatty.
The committee who have charge
of the lunches wish to have every
child, who ordinarily carries a cold
lunch, to take advantage of the hot
lunch and the committee is going to
do its best to make the lunches fit
the need of the children. Mrs
Bunch, who has had considerable ex-
perience cooking at restaurants has
been engaged by the committee and
everything will be furnished her in
the way of cooking utensils and sup
plies that she will need. The amount
received from the sale of the lunch
es will all be used as far as possible
on the food used in preparing the
lunches. For one dollar month
each child can have hot dish ev-
cry day. For two dollars a month
each child can have one hot dish
and one sndwich every day. In this
way parents can judge what the
cost will be for their children. Any
change in arrangements will be an
nounced in the schools or through
the papers.
The schools will start to serving
the lunches next Monday, November
29th.
