HOT LUNCH AT SCHOOL.
Makes Better Nourished Children,
Able to Do More Work.

The hot lunch, that is a hot dish
prepared at school to supplement the
lunch brought from home, makes a
better nourished child who is able to
do better work at school, believes
Miss Mary E. Thomas, specialist IN
foods and nutrition at the State Uni
versity Extension Division. The ma
jority of children in the rural sections
take lunch to school and miss the din
ner served at home at noon, and as q
substitute the child has a lunch that
is often made up of anything that can
be taken quickly from the breakfast
table. This, with hurried breakfast
and a rather hearty supper, does not
supply the child with the necessary
amount of food, she says.
''In order to counteract the llstless
and tired condition resultant from
the lack of nourishing foods that
many children fall heir to, the hot
lunch is being served in a number of
the schools in the state,' says Miss
Thomas. "Those who have started
the work and are carrying it on are
enthusiastic over it and report that
besides an improvement in health, re-
suits show an improved department,
improved scholarship and improved
attendance.
"a hot dish makes a cold lunch
more easily digested and more pala
table. It gives the child a more nor
NAL diet, as it offers an opportunity
for providing milk and vegetable
dishes, which are most apt to be lack
ing in the average child's diet. It
encourages the children to eat their
lunches more leisurely. 1t affords the
teacher an opportunity to instill hab-
its of cleanliness, proper habits of
eating and good table manners.
'"The active interest and support of
the school board and parents is ne
cessary in establishing the hot lunch.
A small expenditure of money will
equip any school for taking care of
one hot dish a day for the pupils.
Elaborate or expensive equipment Is
not necessary for the preparation of
the hot lunch. In winter, when the
weather is sufficiently cold for fire,
the hot dish may be prepared over
the school heater, the only extra
equipment being a large kettle, large
spoon and measuring cup. Each
child should bring from home his own
cup and spoon in which he is served"
Miss Thomas has prepared bulle-
tin which is being issued in mimeo-
graph form dealing with equipment
and how to supply them, the plan of
the work, serving the hot dish, sug-
gestions for the hot dish, etc, copies
of which might be secured through a
request mailed to her at the Louisiana
State University at Baton Rouge

RICE FOR NEAR EAST RELIEF.
Congressman Lazaro to Urge Gov.
ernment to Make Shipments

DR.. LaZaro, congressman from the
seventh congressional district of Lou
isiana is presently in Washington,
on mission Of great Importance
to the rice growers of this state The
important matter of extending fl
nancial assistance to the rice grow
ers Of Louisiana is pending before
the War Finance Corporation, and
the doctor has data which is expect
cd to have considerable bearing upon
the negotiations.
Large shipments Of foodstuffs are
to be made to relieve the famine
condition in the Near East DR.. La
zaro hopes to influence the purchase
of large portions of rice for this
purpose. Its high food value, the
facility with which it may be shipped
without loss from spoilage, and the
fact that it is a familiar food to the
population of the Near East, makes it
one Of the most desirable food COM
modltleS to use in connection with
the relief work.
Another matter which is to claim
DIR. Lazaro's attention is the appli-
cation pending before the federal
power commission for the irrigation
and power project which is intended
to make possible the extension of rice
acreage in the northern portion of
the rice belt. The plan is to bring
down water from the Red river. In
doing so, hydro-electric power gem
Grafton is made possible, thereby
cheapening the cost of pumping.
DR.. Lazaro also will lay before the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
formation with regard to the dis
ruption of road building programs in
MS district, as a result of the car
shortage.

Parcel Post Threatened.

Under the above caption, the
Times-Picayune in a recent editorial,
commented upon the application Of
the express companies for permission
to increase their rates; and their re
quest that the government confines
its parcel post services to packages
weighing more than fifteen pounds,
very timely says:
The express companies are ask
ing permission to charge higher rates
for their service generally. That is
matter for close examination and
proper adjustment. The express
companies are private concerns and
if given permission to operate at all
must be allowed an opportunity to
make reasonable return if they can
do so by legitimate means. But it
is not a duty of the United States
to clear away competition and to
give the express companies any form
Of monopoly of the parcel transport
tation of the land. Indeed it is al
most an impertinence for the ex-
press interests to ask that the gov
ernment shall abandon the handling
of all packages between the weight
Of fifteen pounds and the fifty pounds
at present the maximum carried by
the public service.
Regardless Of minute details of
profit and loss, the parcel post is
Of inestimable advantage to the pub
lie and that advantage does not by
any means stop short at fifteen
pound packages. Especially now
that the farmer has begun in earnest
to make use of the postal facility, a
fifteen-pound limit would cause a
distinct hardship upon that group of
patrons; and the city merchant who
wishes to make rural deliveries by
the quick and simple parcel post pro-
cess would be at a distinct disadvan-
tage if he chanced to be dealer in
weighty as opposed to merely bulky
objects. Let's have no tampering
with our present system. eve have
It, let's keep it, our post" as the
college cheer-squads would express
the determination.

Salem took the first step toward
the form of city government that
must ultimately displace the pres
ent cum bersome, Inefficient and
expensive system now in use Tues
day, when the voters ratified the
charter amendment scrapping the
old method OF naming a chief OF
police by election and making the
office appointive by the mayor
with the consent OF majority Of
the council.
Adoption of the amendment
was a step toward Capitalization
OF responsibility in the admins
tration Of the city's affairs, but
the step was not decisive enough.
Not even yet has the responsible
ity been sufficiently centralized
The participation of the council In
the appointment of the police de-
partment head allows of too much
latitude in the matter of respon-
sibility for the official acts Of the
police chief and makes it diff
cult, in case of misconduct or in
efficiency for the people to place
their finger directly upon the
source of the trouble.
With its business equal to, or
exceeding that of the largest cor
porations in this part of the state
the city must sooner or later
adopt the commission or city man
ager form of government, with it's
centralized responsibility and
efficiency. 1t must have one ad-
ministrative head to the city gov
ernment who is responsible to a.
commission of three or five elect
ed representative of the peopIe,
and who bears entire responsible
ity for the conduct of the city's
affairs in conformity to the poll
cies of the commission which hires
him.
Likewise, the subordinate off
GERS who work under him must be
to him and him alone.
Abuses and negligence of duties
in public office can be remedied
Immediately under such a system,
whereas, under the present form
of government such abuses and
negligence must practically be en-
dured until the offenders term of
office expires because Of the i'm
possibility Of placing responsible
ity,
