ENGLISH WOMEN
 DISLIKE COOKING
Bored With Work, They Serve
 Poor Meals

London. June 1. (tP)) -- An
 nouncement was made recently that 1 the London County council had ar
 ranged to start three special cen-
 ters where girls would be taught to | cook. This news was made known simultaneously with the denuncia- tion of middle-class cookery by Sir Alfred Fripp, surgeon-in- ordinary to the king, who aroused the ire of many women by his assertion that most of it was nothing short of "abominable."
 Sir Alfred said publicly: If there is one thing which makes for the commences, dullness, and even boringness of an ordinary middle class table more than the abomin- able cooking of the English wom- en, l would be glad to know what it is"
 But there were come women here who agreed with the celebrated sur geon. Lady Nott-Bowcr said: "A very large proportion of English women arc frightfully bored with cooking, while French, Italian and German women are always interest cd in it. The consequence is that, In this country. cooking is looked upon as a rather irksome duty, while in France and Italy it Is re- garded as a fine art"
 c. Herman Senn, of the Food as- sociation, asserts that one of the failings of the middle-c class house. wives of England IS that they are in the habit of buying the best and most expensive cuts of meat, as is also the custom in the United States, while in France, Germany and Italy the women know how to make the least expensive, pieces into nourishing and tempting dishes.
 Lady Trustram Eve, one of the leaders in the movement to teach young women the art of cooking. 1. said recently: "The trouble is that at the present time we have too i few trained cooks. Owing to the , servant problem, many persons are now doing cooking who have really had no instruction in it. In the Lon don City council We have been con- how many thousand per sons year We will be able 10 train as cooks. That there is demand for their services has been shown by the number of housewives who have applied for onr young women graduates.
 There is very l,ttle $atiety in ! what is served in the English mid dleclass homes, and the average housewife has no idea what Is meant by vitamins and other food values. Much of the housekeeping money is spent in buying what is believed to be good food, but what Is in reality of little food value from the point of view Of building up bone and muscle. Menus are and the housewife

ONE HOUSE FORM
 OF LEGISLATURE
This Is Being Advocated in
 South Dakota |

Pierre, s. D.. June 13 (tF) -. South Dakota. first state in the union to adopt the initiative and referendum. and first state to es- tablish q system of rural credits us branch of government, is inter- csting itself seriously in another governmental innovation one house legislature.
 The unicameral legislative reform In proposed and sponsored by Rob- ert Emmett Dowdell, a veteran Democrat and state senator, but it has gained support from so- wide a range of political thought in the state that it already looms us Il mus Jor issue in the legislature of 1927.
 The plan contemplates elimina- lion Of the state senate and house of representatives, now composed of f6 and 103 members, respectively and the setting up in their stead of a single house with from 16 to 2l members.
 This body would meet at least cnce every three months. to enact necessary legislation, and it could be in session continuously or when- ever there was need for 1t to sit. hs members would he elected from districts in proportion 10 population, and with little regard for county lines
 Senator Dowdell first proposed the plan l7 years ago. but not until recent years has his innovation found general support or gained enough adhorents to bring it before the legislature for serious consid- eration. The state senate, at the 1925 session, passed by a handsome majority a resolution by Dowdell submitting to the voters of the state 7 constitutional amendmentto abol- sh, the house and senate and Set the unicamoral law-making body. The resolution died in the house, when adoption of an unfavorable ommittee report prevented it from oming to the floor for debate on it's merits, but Senator DowdclI already IS working for its submission to the 1927 legislature, and he has much rong support in the state. Among le influential advocates of the uni ameral system is former Gov. jharles N. Herreid. republican. Many of the newspapers of the state favor presenting the plan to the voters for adoption or rejection.
 Even If the Dowdell proposal met fth no more setbacks, however, it ould not be put into effect until 93o. A constitutional amendment 'ust be submitted to the vtoers by egislatiVe joint resolution and ap- roved at regular election before 7 becomes effective. The legislature ieets again two years hence, and he plan could not be presented to he voters until 1928.

TEMPERANCE FOLK
 ARE SEEKING AID
Asking Help From Ensland's
 Teachers

Oxford, Eng, June 13 0P) - The British National Temperance league is making strenuous efforts to convert English school teachers to it's aims. Recently the league en- tertained the delegates of the Ma tional Union of Teachers at an OK ford breakfast, given, 1t is worth noting, in the hall of Christ church, which in times past was noted as heaVy-drinking college. Many OK ford notables attended or announced their sympathy with the movement.
 The vice. chancellor, whose office is somewhat equivalent to that of the American university president, pointed out that drinking has de- creased enormously in the univer- said that in his undergraduate days the usual entertainment was the wine party, whereas today such par ties were held only on special oc- casions, as very few students regu- lariy keep wine in their rooms. There was, he said, no reason for relaxing the prohibition campaign on this account. In this he was probably correct. for strict temper ance has not yet in Oxford acquired the full status of a virtue. The col leges all sell beer, ale and wines 10 their students on long and easy credits and provide these drinks in their halls, and several operate their own breWeries.
 But at that there has been great improvement. A late seventeenth century chronicler, speaking of Balliol college which is now known as the intellectual leader of oxford, said. There is over against BaIliol a horrid, dingy, scandalous ale house, fit for none but draymen and Here the Balliol men con tinually do lie, and by perpetual bibbing add art to their natural to make themselves per feet sots."

OLD HOME WEEK
 AT THE CAPITOL
It Will Be Very We'll Worth
 Seeing, Too

Film fans in general and admirers of Thomas Melghan in particular will be delighted to know that the popular Paramount star will make one of his all-too-few screen ap- pearances locally when his latest production "Old Home Week" be- gins 1 days run al the Capitol Sunday night,
 This is crdckerjack, bangup story. from the pen Of George Ade, famed American author and hu- morist, brimming over with swift moving action, breezy humor and wholesome romance. Tom Geraghty made the film adaptation and Nic- tor Herman wielded the mega phone.
 Lila Lee Is featured in the lead ing feminine role and the notable supporting cast includes such sterl- ing favorites as Larry Wheat, Charles Dow Clark, Max Figman and Charles Sellon.
 Paradoxical as it may sound, "Old Home Week" Is the tale of a successful failure. Meighan has the part of Tom Clark. a small town youth, who tries his luck in the big city fails, and returns 10 his home town. Amusing complica- tions ensue when the local folks are erroneously informed that Tom is wealthy oil man. The plot takes an unexpected turn when a couple of sharpers try to engineer fake oil deal and swindle the townspeo- pie. In trying to beat the crooks, Tom is himself exposed, but he fights through to a triumphant fin- ish.
 One of the noteworthy features of the photoplay is an old-fashion- ed Old Home Week celebration.

 The architectural features of the project are striking in their individ- ualitX and comfort. The modified English style of Tudor was adopted because 1t met the desire of the women for rustic, informal and type of architecture, car- rying with 1t the feeling of the sub- urb and the homelike.
 The building. although broken by wing, bays. gables and offsets, will be drawn together in one harmon ious unit. The exterior will be of rough stone, timbered above. It provides for women's dressing rooms spacious corridors, an auditorium with large stage. lounge, stage dressing rooms, dining room, kitch- en, pantries, offices, balcony, com- nittee rooms, projection room, mems | club room, smoking room and am- pie storage space, with additional basement rooms fin connection with i the heating and fnel compartments.
