TEACHERS SELL
SOUP TO PUPILS
Penny Bowls of Soup Idea
Meeting with Success at
One School.

One day it is rice soup, the next
day vegetable soup, and then again
it may be some other kind of soup,
but regardless of the kind of soup it
seems to meet with the hearty APP
proval of numerous children at the
Washington school, the teachers of
which recently inascurated a system
Of penny bowls of soup.
When the reporter reached there
yesterday noon he was escorted by
Miss Dunlap, principal Of the build
ing, first to the kitchen, and then to
the lunch counter of the school. The
kitchen proved to be one of the al
coves, wherein was located n stove,
on which was found cooking two
large kettles of soup-real vegetable
soup-two of the teachers of the
building being on the job acting in
the capacity of cooks.
The dining room was the Junior
high room of the building, wherein
nearly two score children were wait

lunch. All had soup bowls of some
kind or other, and all had spoons.
The desks were used as tables.
In moment more the cooks ap-
peared with the large kettles of soup,
and in an instant every waiting child
was on his or her feet, seeking TO OBJ
tain his or her bowl Of soup.
Tickets, costing one cent each. were
handed in, when the soup was dished
out.
moment more and nearly two
score children were busy, eating their
penny lunches, made possible through
the kind efforts of the instructors
in the building and by few other
kind friends.
IL was just an ordinary day at the
penny lunch. On busy days-these
are stormy ones-the youngsters who
take advantage OF the penny lunch
often number three score.
The lunch over, the children wash
and wipe their own dishes and put
them away for the next day.
The experiment that the teachers
are making at Washington School is
meeting with success, not i'm the fl
nancial sense of the word, however.
That it will be continued for some lit
tie time, however, is regarded as GER

Naturally the depression in the au-

of the company are optimistic as to
the future, but it is hardly expected
that the company will get back 10
normal production within the next

MT. PLEASANT
LOST TO ALMA
High SchOOlers Win Fine Fray
in Which They Show
Good Ability.

Mt. Pleasant high school five,
doped to win over Mullins Alma
high school basket tossers, were
given the surprise of their lives Fri
day evening,when the Orange and
Black court team took lead at the
start of the game and were never
headed by the Isabella team, al
though tied up once, winning the fray
Is to IL, in the most brilliantly
played prep game seen here in recent
years.
The Mt Pleasant coach used seven
men to stop the rush of the Mullin
wrecking crew, but TO no purpose,
as the Almaites out for revenge for
defeats last year, simply could not
be stopped in spite of the great work
that the Mt. Pleasant team put up.
At no time during the game could
the Alma team gain a margin of
over one or two points, until just be-
fore the final whistle blew, when
field baskets by Garner and Lyons
gave the locals four point lead.
To Elias must go the lions share
of the credit for the victory. The
Alma center played a sterling game
from start to finish, and was well
backed up by the rest of the aggre-
cation, especially by the guards, who
held the Mt. Pleasant team to three
field baskets.
For the Mt. Pleasant team Francis
and Brown were the leading lights.

BATTLE IN PROSPECT
Hillsdale College Expected to Give
Alma Hard Game.

The third Michigan intercollegiate
basketball contest of the present sea-
son will be staged Saturday night on
the local court, when the Blue and
White team of Hillsdale meets the
Maroon and Cream quintet, in what
is expected to be one of the feature
games of the local season.
Hillsdale has been beaten only by
Ypsilanti in the NJ |. A. A., team
that is tied for first place in the asso-
citation with Alma, and in this game
the first dope in regard to the rela-
tive merits of Ypsilanti and Alma
teams will be forthcoming. Dope
means little, Of course, in drawing
comparisons in the NJ. /. A. A., with
the teams constantly playing on
floors that vary greatly in size, and
in the lighting conditions Of the
floors. which naturally will have
some effect on the work that is
shown by the visiting team. Condi-
tions under which Hillsdale, Ypsi,
and Alma will be playing are as
near equal as possible in the associa-
for comparison.
Hillsdale will bring a veteran ag-
gregation to Alma, one which last
year tied with Kalamazoo College
for the leadership Of the. association
in basket ball, and is certain to give
Steele's cohorts a hot battle right
from the start.
Alma has high hopes of winning
this game and continuing in a tie
with the Michigan State Normals for
the leadership of the association.
This fray will be the last to be
played by the Maroon and Cream be-
fore it starts on a two weeks road
trip, during which time Olivet, Kala-
mazoo, Adrian, and Albion are TO
be played.

JURY EXONERATES
CAFE PROPRIETOR
Inquest Result Frees George
Carras of Blame in Green
way Death.
VERDICT WAS NOT A SURPRISE
Lawfully Ejecting Man and Was
Justified in So Doing Said
Report.

George Carras, proprietor OF the
Paris Cafe on East Superior street,
was completely exonerated of any
blame in the death of Charles Green
way, by a verdict rendered last Fri
day afternoon by the coroner's jury,
which was impaneled on January 7,
TO sift the case and determine the
responsibility for the death of Green
way, if any such responsibility ex-
listed.
After an autopsy on January Z,
the jury adjourned until the follow
ing Friday and was then adjourned
until Friday, January 21, when its
work was brought to a conclusion.
A number of witnesses were
called, DR.. Brainerd and DR.. Day be-
ing among them. The two physicians
told of the condition that brought
about the death of Greenway, and his
condition from the time that he
was injured, December 10, until his
death four weeks later.
A number of young people around
the city, who were in the Paris Cafe
on the night of December 10, when
George Carr as elected Greenway and
Louis Butterfield from the place,
were called TO the stand TO tell what
they knew of the affair.
All testimony indicated that the
men were in an intoxicated condition,
and that the remarks that they made
in the cafe were insulting, especially
to the several young ladies who were
present. II was clearly indicated
that the men were asked several
times to keep quiet, and that finally
they weer ordered from the place

After heating all Of the evidence.
the jury retired and in less than half
an hour returned verdict that COM
pletely exonerated Carras. In part
the verdict said, that the said Chas.
Greenway came to his death as a re-
suit of concussion of the brain caused
from blow received at the hands
Of George Carras on the 10th day Of
December, A. ID. 1920, at such time
when the said George Carras was
then and there engaged in lawfully
ejecting the said Charles Greenway
from the Paris Cafe in the City of
Alma, which said cafe was then and
there under the management of the
said George Carras, and we further
find that the said George Carras was
entirely justified in so ejecting the
said Charles Greenway from the Par
is Cafe"
The coroners verdict was signed by
all of the jurors, who were C. f..

themselves, so far is known at pres
ent. The present supervisors are the
the following: First ward. j. +. Full

there have been some slight rumors
of various possibilities.
