Following a visit to Central Jun
ior College yesterday, which was
made as a part of the state wide
survey of Junior Colleges, DR.. Leo
nard koos of the University of Min
nesota yesterday expressed himself
in a highly complimentary manner
regarding both the faculty and the
work of the local institution.
Dir. Koos is making a survey for
the state department Of education.
and is being assisted by DR.. Weer-
sing of the University of Southern
California. Central and Brawley
Junior College were visited during
the course of the day by the two
I men.
Dir. Koos came to the valley from
Azusa. where he delivered the
principal address at the annual
Southern California Junior College
conference, held there Saturday.
Approximately 175 faculty members
Of junior colleges and universities
of Southern California were in at
tendance. Those present from this
city were F. l. Shepherd, dean of
Central Junior College, Principal J.
l.. House, J. c. Kennedy, John w.
Cook and f. y. Green.
The feature of the conference was
an address by DIR. Koos on the de-
velornent Of the Junior College

Many at Opening
OF New Oregon
Hotel Restaurant

Hundreds of residents of the city
visited the formal opening of the
New Oregon Hotel Coffee Shop last
night. They were served refresh
ments and taken on trip of inspec-
tion through the shop and kitchen.
A reception committee headed by
John Bruuer greeted the visitors
while in an immaculate kitchen they
found Charles Laperruque, better
known rs Charles" chef and mar
ager of the shop. Numerous floral
gifts were received by the shop to
mark the opening.
The dining room of the shop or
cafe is equipped with six booths
and n horseshoe shaped counter
capable of seating some 30 diners.
In the center of the counter is n
display counter in which many ap-
petizing dishes are to be seen.
The new electric air.cooling svs
TEN is real feature. The system
circles the counter at the base and
runs along the base of the wall in
the booths. 1t continually sends
cool air into the restaurant and
should prove highly appreciative
during the warm spell in the val
ley.
In the new chef and manager,
Bruner believes that he has obtain
ed the services of one of the great
est masters of the culinary art in
the country. Laperruque was born
in France but even at that early
date he had something of American
spirit in his veins for it was on
July that he made his initial ap
pearance.
Among the hotels where "Charles
has gained fame in this country
are the Plaza in New York City; La
Sale, in Chicago; Cliff Hotel in
San Francisco. During the last
year and Il half he has been con-
nected with the Planter 5 Hotel in
Brawlev.
The furnishings in the new coffee
shop are all new and were installed
by the 7. Y. Hardware Company. An
automatic Victor Electrola lends
musical atmosphere while girls in
pink garb and men in white furnish
excellent service.
Bruner declared this morning that
he plans to install 4 dining room,
using two rooms on the Broadway
side of the hotel building. The
new coffee shop opens onto the
Fifth street side.

The demand on naveis continued
strong in all markets at advancing

pccted to be much heavier during
