date 1000 people in an hour is the
main purpose of the new porch now
in process of construction on the
south side of the cafeteria, l.. S. U.
This porch will be 168 feet long and
will join the two south entrances OF

Patrons of the cafeteria will be
glad to hear that waiting in the hot
sunshine or rain while standing IN
the Dread line" will soon be an ex-
perience of the past.
Besides the service capacity OF the
cafeteria will be doubled, says b. r.
Toler, manager. At present, an aver
age of 1900 meals a day are served.
With but one entrance, there must
be much delay, and not more than

ment, the present exit will be used as
second entrance, another service
table will be placed along the south
side, with two exits in the center,
thus making double service cat
eteria, which can easily serve 10oU

EASY WAY TO LEARN
HOW HIGH TREE is
WITHOUT CLIMBING

1t is often very convenient to know
the exact height Of tree whether
that tree is In your front yard or In
the woods But how can you tell
without measuring with ruler or a
tape measure?
Easy.
Cut stick that Is about two inches
longer than the distance between your
eyes and the ground when you stand
up straight Sharpen one end OF it
Plant the Pole
Guess the height of the tree Then,
with the stick in your hand, stand
at the very base of the tree and start
walking away in a straight Line. A
step Is about three feet long. When
you have walked a distance that Is
equal 20 the estimated height Of the
tree, plus the length Of the pole less
two inches, stop and stick the pole
firmly into the ground. Bear down on
1t TIL the top reaches your eyes
This done, lie down with your feet
firmly against the pole and pointed
toward the tree.
Correcting the Guess
From this position look over the TOP
OF the pole and see If the top Of the
tree comes in a direct line II It
does, you have guessed the height OF
the tree correctly. 1t will be the dis
tance from the back Of your head as
you stretch out on the ground. to the
base Of the tree.
But If your estimate wasn't enough,
you win see the top OF the tree ex-
tending above the top q the stick
This means that yoa viii have TO move
the pole back farther.
Or, If you overestimated you will
have to move the pole closer 10 the
tree and sight again.
