lettuce 60 into a Mngle salad. II
happens to be that kind of salad.

Daniel laughed. Tell him about
the dishes. Miss Faiiyer." he
prompted.
1t developed that dish washing at
the government hotels has been
robbed of all its terrors. All that has
been left of it is the clatter. Great
machines do the work and the dishes
dry by draining.
How many, are washed every
sixty thousand And except for
the clatter mo one would know that
even sixty dishes had to be washed.
The silver and the glassware. how
ever, are not trusted to the regular
process. They are polished each day.
You must have an awful lot Of
breakage," we hazarded.
We had to ask Miss Pammel about
that-Miss Violet Pammel. who Is
Miss Failyer's assistant. We did so;
and we learned that In the dining
room over which she presides no
waitress had dropped a tray OF dishes
for months past. and that the break
age Is almost nothing.
How do you manage it?" we
asked.
"oh," she replied, that's a little
secret between my girls and me. But
We do it,"
Back again to the kitchen, where
we learned that for Mondays dinner
there would be steak, 200 pounds Of
it-with many gallons Of gravy. We
tried to draw Daniel out bit as to
his experiences. .
"Oh, they haven't been so many"
he finally replied. II amt been cook
ing but thirty-ive years Before that
was just working with the cooks"
Then he confessed that the soup
sometimes boiled over. That troubled
him no little, but it would happen
occasionally, he explained. He
would not admit, however, that 1t
ever burnt.
You all burn your SOUP" he said,
because You cook with gas and gas
is tricky. You can't turn it SO low
but what 1t keeps on getting hotter
and hotter. We cook with steam up
here and that makes it different"
And that was all we could get from
Daniel as to his mishaps.
In its hotels here the government
operates the largest American plan
hotel in the world. 1t is so conducted
that the government neither makes
nor loses money. The. girls are
charged just enough to balance the
books. And the cost is low. due
largely to the fact that the govern
ment buys at Wholesale and conse-
Quently at prices far lower than those
most Washington housewives have to
pay when they go to market
We are just now ordering our
canned goods" Miss Failyer said
We place our orders in advance of
the canning season, and we shall
order enough to run us d year from
the 1st of next July.
We buy nothing in lots of less
than 100 dozen. and many kinds Of
canned goods are bought in far
greater quantities than that"

Liquor and Ships.

Decision by the United States Su.
prene Court upon the status of ships
entering American ports under the
eighteenth amendment and the act of
enforcement, while clear-cut in its
terms, leaves Il complex situation
which may have all involved interna
tional aspect. In the first place. the
court rules that the eighteenth amend
ment applies to the three-mile limit
beyond the shores. Next il rules that
1t does not apply beyond that limit.
IL holds that no ships, American or
foreign can bring liquor within the
three-mle limit. and that all of them.
whatever their flag Of registry. may
carry liquors in waters beyond the
limit.
This ruling puts American and for
eisn ships upon an equality in respect
TO the carrying and dispensing Of
liquors on the high seas. 1t also puts
them on an equality in respect to the
prohibition of liquor within the ma
tional limit. But the effect Of this
equality is. strangely enough. an in
equality. For the crews OF the ships
Of certain nations. such as France,
England and Italy. are, by custom as
we'll established as law, granted
daily allowance of wine. Plainly, if a
foreign ship cannot enter an Ameri.
can port with liquor on board this al
lowance cannot be maintained while in
port, and unless the ship restocks at
sea beyond the three mile limit it can
not be continued on the return voyage.
There is no difficulty about the west.
ward trips. whether of foreign or
American ships. They may stock up
at the eastern ports, provided they are
free of liquor when they enter the
American three-mile limit. Strictly
speaking, under the Supreme Courts
not been consumed on the western
voyage before the limit is reached it
must be destroyed.
Clearly it will be serious handicap
for incoming ships TO stop beyond the
three-mile line and lighter off the re.
naming liquor stocks, and 10 stop
again on the way out and take stock
on board from supply ships. Yet this
Is practically the only way that the
liquor supply can be maintained on
ships entering and leaving American
ports, short of calls at such a foreign
port as Halifax.
Already protests have been voiced
from abroad against the effect Of this
decision upon foreign ships. Thus the
matter becomes one Of diplomacy, but
unless Congress passes an act to meet
this situation, which will in turn, in
the view of the court. square with the
eighteenth amendment, it is difficult
to see how the matter can be adjusted
by diplomatic negotiations.
In one respect the Supreme Court
has pointedly indicated the possibility
Of further legislation, the decision
pointing out that I'VE do not mean to
to regulate the conduct Of domestic
merchant ships when on the high
seas"
This is tantamount to saying that
II Congress should enact a law pro.
hibiting the sale of liquor OH Ameri-
can ships on the high seas, in accord
ance with the ruling Of the Attorney
General, which was sustained by the
federal court, the Supreme Court
would sustain it. Its present decision.
reversing the lower court on that
point, is based upon the absence of
such statute.

five years he has been roasting chick

1t was different.

queried
"Yes'm; we just put in the last of

Seven barrels Of potatoes for a
single meal-some Sunday dinner.
That's the way we have to do
things here" Miss Failyer explained.
For breakfast we bake 1000 rolls
or 1000 mullins. We put fourteen
crates of grape fruit in the refrig-
orator this afternoon so that we may
have enough for breakfast tomorrow
morning.
And eggs-we eat lots of eggs
Two hundred dozen usually are about
enough for breakfast. Then we serve
quite a bit of toast for breakfast, too.
As a matter of fact II takes two men
working at top speed from O'Clock

Over in the corner were four great
coffee urns.
