New York One neighborhood
practically filled with cooperative
apartment houses Is trying out a new
dining plan. A caterer in the locality
delivers cooked dinners in thermos
containers which will keep them hot
for six hours So he can make his
route, just like the milkman, and still
the individual families may set their
own dinner hour. There was some in
convenience the Sunday of the big
snowstorm, when his trucks couldn't
get through and $50 families went
dinnerless and supperless to bed, but
as a general thing, they declare 1t
works very well.

II lis never seen save on two or three
nights in the entire year. Its appear
ance seems to be regulated by the
moon.
The palolo chooses the time for It's
first appearance on the night when
the October moon changes. When the
moon rises the sea is seen to be alive
with wrlggling green and brown
worms, some of them yard or more
In length. The natives make festival
of the occasion, going out with dip
nets among the reefs and scooping up
the worms by the bushel. They pad
die around In every available boat
with lighted torches waiting for the
moon, and then the scene becomes one
of great and joyous excitement.
The palolo comes once again when
the November moon quarters, and is
not seen again until the following year.
1t is said to live In crannies of the
coral reefs, coming to the surface to
spawn at these lunar periods. Some of
the worms are eaten as they wlggle,
but the bulk of the catch is reserved
for a big feast on the following day.
