WHAT'S WHAT
BY HELEN DECTT

Oranges at breakfast are cut in halves
and eaten with an orange spoon-a
spoon with long handle and a pointed
bowl. It is permissible TO squeeze tho
rind lightly with the fingers of the left
hand in order to allow the last spoonful
of Juice to be collected, but It Is not
proper to suck the Juice from the half
orange. Sometimes little glasses Of iced
orange Juice are served at breakfast In
stead of the halved oranges.
Sliced oranges served with or with
out shredded coconut, bananas or other
fruit al luncheon or dinner dessert
may be eaten with a fork or n spoon.
When served whole. firm orange, not
overly ripe. may be pared, divided into
It's natural symmetrical sections and
each section eaten from the fingers. A
knife should not be used to divide an
orange TO be eaten in this manner, as
the sections cannot be cut without re-
leasing the juice.

adventures With a Purse

Nov that you are more or less set
~ tied down for the fall and winter,
I again want TO remind you Of little
tea room that you will Undoubtedly want
TO visit from time to time. A q matter
of fact, ! think that shall tell you Of
several Of our nicer and more unusual
tea rooms for the next couple Of days
Some OF them you may know OF
and others you may not. SO, TO
begin on the first II is one that
in atmosphere has been brought right
over from New York, home of nm
usual and delightful dining places
Shiny black tables edged with vivid
yellow, rare old prints, soft curtains
Of m orangey yellow. flowers here and
there and some lovely antique furni-
ture all combine to give this charming
mosphere. The food Is excellent. Their
special Sandwich-and those irresist-
ible French fried potatocs-oh, my
word And the chocolate cake with
warm chocolate sauCe-wen, words fail
me. Prices are quite fair. And Marie
serves you skilfully and deftly. Lunch
con. afternoon tea and dinner are to
be had at this tea room-each one 4
delight.
For the very young baby n bib is of
course essential. And when you take
him visiting, you want n dainty bit
that will add an extra attractiveness tC
the fine little dress But for just plain
ordinary every day use, when he i,
playing around at home, a more prac.
/ tical bib would be much wiser. One
shop has knitted bibs Of double thick
ness, edged with pink or blue. They
really are very pretty, and what u
equally important, they are most sen
sible. They are much more absorben
than the finer bib, and 30 save the from

grew to one OF friendship and then to
one OF love, and I want to say for tho
benefit OF you, Duchess, and the read

bs far happier than the one based
simply on love with little knowledge OF
each others habits and characteristics
Although I am happily married and

AGRICULTURAL INSTRUCTION
FURNISHED NEGRO SCHOOLS

Special attention has been given to
the study Of the educational condi-
tions among negroes, as result of a
cooperative agreement between the
States Relations Service Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture and
the Federal Board for Vocational Ed
ucation. II has been realized that the
negro teachers are in need Of all the
assistance possible.
Two courses Of study, one In plant
production and. the other In animal
production, were prepared by the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture following Investigations into
the problems, conditions. and facilities
Of the negro schools. A specialist in
agricultural instruction was first de-
tailed to visit the school where agri-
culture was taught. The methods and
practices used by the teachers were
observed and the available facilities
noted. The crops and animals grown
In the various States were considered.

western Newspaper Union News Servic~
Chicago.-Railway Union leaders
were undecided on their final attitude
toward the general II per cent wage
reductions, which became effective IN
virtually every railroad in the coun-
try by order o. the United States Rail-
road Labor Board. Despite considern-
BILE dissatisfaction displayed among
many employees, no reports Of sporadic
strikes or any serious threats of
strikes were reported to the union
chiefs here.
Approximately 1900 delegates from
system organizations OF the Big Four
brotherhoods, the shop crafts, the
maintenance of way men, telegra-
pliers, clerks and switchmen met here
to canvass the situation. Heads Of the
Big Four and the 16 American Fedora
tion of Labor unions held short meet
ing before the officers separated to
convene the organization meetings.
The executives meetings, 1t was said,
took no action other than to place the
entire wage situation in the hands of
a committee headed by b. NJ. jewell,

partment of the American Federation

Shea, Vice President of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen.
While there was no indication of dis
sension between the organizations over
the wage cut, definite line of de-
marcation developed. The Big Four
BrotherhoOds, according to Harry r.
Daugherty, Vice Grand Chief of the
Engineers, were favorable to accept
ing the cut as necessary evil" al
though the brotherhoods might not in
dicate their attitude by any formal res
olution of acceptance.
On the other hand the shop crafts
and maintenance of way men were said
to be opposed to accepting the reduc-
ton. Both have taken referendum
votes on the lower wage and both are
reported to be heavily In favor of its
rejection. The maintenance of way
group composed largely of section
men, was the hardest hit of all rail
