tiOns of City.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Judging by their
patronage. the three cent and five cent
meals put up by the Chicago board of
education are making an enormous sue
cess.
The city's penny lunch" business
runs from 10000 to $4,000 customers a
day. Sales, measured in pennies and
nickIes. amount daily between $4,000
and $1,000.
I'VE have to chase the children away"
remarked DR.. Frank G. Bruner, direc-
tor of special schools under the board Of
education, who has charge of this work.
Often we have to stand at the door and
protect the unchrooms So they won't
be overrun."
DR.. Bruner said that penny lunches
had been established in 81 of the city's
elementary schools. + cir object, he OBJ
served. is to provide substantial food at
the least cost for children coming from
homes where there is real necessity.
Lunchrooms therefore have been opened
IN districts WHERE DIS Il general lulHSs
the people are not as well to do.
For five cents, DIR. Bruner said,
the menu runs something like this {:
Soup bread, milk or cocoa, fruit or pud-
ding.
''The bill of fare at 8 cents drops the
milk. And then a youngster can spend
only penny if he wants to, buying any
one of these articles for it. Or if he is
not blessed with wealth and yet has more
than a penny, he can for two cents pur-
chase a meat ball, beans. spagetti. or rice.
The board of education is spending
S15O.000 a year to provide these meals"
all service and equipment. That in
eludes the rooms. cooks, light. gas-the
entire maintenance cost What the
children pay goes into the food. We buy
at wholesale and the receipts cover the
purchase of the food"
In addition to the penny lunches, the
board of education supplies a bite to eat
at the morning recess at 1870 in all
elementary schools. This sells for a pen
ny and consists of a sandwich with fill
ing of jelly. jam, syrup. peanut butter
OF cleo, or else a dish of pOrridge.
Then there are 30 or so high schools
These have their cafeterias. They are
run on a different principle, the object
being TO provide food for students com
ing from a distance. DR. Bruner said
that in all cases they were self sustain
ing. In some cases the cafeterias are op-
Grated on a private concpsSiqn, in others
by the board Of education.

to Middlebury Jail.

RUTLAND. Dec 2;-After denying
that he was implicated in the MURDER
Of Owen Hayes, whose body was found
floating in the Castleton river in the vii
age Of Fair Haven the early part of Oc-

IN Aliddlebury, where he stands charged
with completely in the killing An effort
has been made by the state to claim him
to be a desperate criminal with several
aliases, while he asserts the contrary. He
declares that the bank records will show
his correct name.
Lvell was arrested in Proctorsville,
while the remaining three alleged to be
involved in the case were arrested in Fair
Haven. These men are joseph Duffney,
Peter Longe and Lawson L. Bardwell.
A few days ago it was learned that Miss
prisoners, made the statement that she
was told by Lowell, while he was a
boarder in her fathers home, that he was
the man who struck the blow which
felled Owen. and that her father. Bard
well and. Duffney were also members of
the paTty.
Although she lives in the house with
her father, and Duffney and Bardwell oc-
cupy a part of the same house, she claims
she never said word to any of the men
about the alleged confession to her by
Lowell. At this time Lowell was working
in PrOctorsville.
Following, a grilling examination lasting
many hours at the hands of detectives,
Lowell was in a nervous state. If anyone
spoke to him he cried

MORRELL CAUTIONS
 CARE IF BATTERY

Proper care of the batteries is ab- solutely essential if the motorist eX- poets to have uninterrupted enjoyment of his car during the summer season. according to Chet MorreH, manager ol the local Vesta battery service station, the Arizona Battery and Ignition com pany.
 This care can be given only by fire quent inspection of the batteries 10 be sure that the isolators, mats and plates are in good order.
 Because the batteries often are not easily accessible the motorist hates to take the trouble to look after them. IL is especially important during the sum mer that the batteries be refilled fer quently with distilled water
 Regardless of the make of battery { you use it is part of Vesta service to motorists to fill your batteries and in Spect them without cost. If our in spection discloses that repairs are needed. we are equipped to make it and by taking it in time the motorist is often saved the cost of a new bat tery.
 In making repairs on any battery We use one or more of the four patented features which have made Vesta bat teries so reliable. These features can b used only by Vesta service stations.
 The first of these features, the Vesta
  device for locking the plates apart and preventing short circuits. The second feature. Vesta impregnated wooden mats, prevent freeing and its disas- trous consequences.
 The third Vesta feature is Titanium rSre mineral entering into the lead plates, hardening them and giving them longer life. It precipitates min erals and impurities in solution, thu: increasing the efficiency of the bat tery. The eVsta Poro-hard plate, thu l fourth feature, is extra hard and dur able, but because of it's unusual poros- ity gives unusual capacity. All of these features except tho 1 isolators can be used in repairing any | battery The isOlators are a peculiar | part of eVsta battery construction anC ] can be used only on Nesta batteries.

Embracing the majority of the de- sirable features of other makes of tractors and eliminating the objection ' able one is the verdict of experienced tractor men when they examine the AlIis Chalmer tractor This state ment was made by Leon Jones, sales manager of the Tractor Company of Arizona, state distributors for Allis Chalmers tractors and farm machinery.
 There is nothing on a ranch that requires power that some model of the Allis Chalmers tractor cannot do. The little 6-12 model is called the general purpose tractor and can used to culti- vate, blow. run a moving machine. binder disc or harrow; in fact it can be attached by means of simple hitches to any horse drawn implement on the ranch he states.
 The 10-20 is the next in size. This model is built on the same principle as the 1S-30 or heavy duty model and the same care in the selection of the material is used in it's constructio that makes the 1S-30 one of the most complete and finished power plants manufactured today.

PROTESTS BOOST In
REALTY VALUATION
Real Estate Board Calls AS
sessment Increase Tn
warranted.
LAND VALUES DROPPING
Record of Auction Sales in
Manhattan Used to Prove
Charges.

The Real Estate Board OF New York
made a sharp protest yesterday against
the increased assessed valuations in the
city Of New York. The statement issas
follows:
1.-THE increase Of nearly two billions OF
dollars in the assessed valuations of real
estate in Greater New York by the De
partment OF Taxes and Assessments Is
absolutely unwarranted. A large part
of this increase is made up in increases
of land values in all the boroughs 1t Is
a matter of record that land values in
the Borough of Manhattan, taken as a
whole, have been steadily decreaSinS ana
according to the assessment rolls or the
city land values have been decreased
during the last five years over 100000
900 in Manhattan, through the develop
ment of the boroughs and the building
of subway lines reaching out into all
parts of the city. and encouraging the
growth not only in the city itself but OF
the counties of Nassau and Westchester.
This has decreased land values in the
Borough of Manhattan. although the de-
crease has not been entirely reflected in
land value increases in the other bor-
oughs. -, u,..
the year-and these are the principal
records because there have not been
many individual sales of vacant land
show that almost invariably the land
has sold for less than its assessed value.
The gross increase by the department nv
improved property is unjustified, be-
cause so many OF them are based on a
temporary Increase in rents due TO artl-
ficial housing conditions, which in no
way can justify the increases. made in
valuations. There afe thousands or IN
stances where improved property has
had assessments increased where there
has been no change whatever in rents.
and where the tenants holding under
long leases are paying no more than
they did in 1917 and 1918, and in some
cases further back than that. Yet the
cost OF maintenance in the buildings is
one and one-half times as high.
"a great number Of applications for
reductions has already been fled with
the Department of Taxes and Assess
ments, and judging from the temper Of
the applicants and the merit of their
applications a large part of them VIII
be carried through TO ceruorari proceed
ings unless reductions are made.
1.-THE Real Estate Board advises all
its members and real estate men gen.
orally to go into the matter of the as
sessed valuations of their properN very
carefully. and IL they find that, in their
opinion, the advances are unjustiied.
applications should be made to the COM
missioners for reductions. These appli-
cations must be filed before November
is, 1920. The fact that there is an
abnormal tax levy to be met and an abb
normal budget is no reason why there
should be unjustifiable increases In as
sessed values. Application blanks are
furnished by the department and must
be carefully filed in and verified. They
are self-explanatory. Any information
as to the procedure necessary will be
gladly furnished by the Real Estate
Board of New York"
