1.-TWO Minute Talks"
BY
MISS AUBYN CHINN
THE SCHOOL LUNCH

A recent survey showed that in the
approximately 100000 schools in
America there are only a limited
number of lunchrooms. Your child
may be in one of the schools where
the hot lunch must be provided from
a thermos bottle or brought to school
and warmed up at lunch time. Either
way it is worth more than the trouble
it requires. A hot dish at noon of a
simple soup or a hot drink means bet
ter digestion, more alert mind for the
afternoon, and better appetite.
Sometimes a school room makes a
plan of having each child bring soup
or cocoa or some other light dish he
enjoys in a pint mason jar. These
are then put on a wooden rack in a
wash boiler, put on top of the stove
and heated at lunch time.
These recipes given below are all
adapted either to thermos bottle or
pint jar and will add greatly to your
child's lunch.

Mr.. ThOrflnnSOn also in limited
way tried to determine which are
the most profitable enterprises on
these Oklahoma farms. While his
work along this line has not been
completed he did find that the gross
income of dairy products per milk
cow was $51.
The gross income per 100 chickens
was $161, or an average of $1.61 per
hen, which, when one considers that
chickens consume but little purchased
feed, is an extremely high return.
For every 500 invested in hogs, these
81 farmers had return of 1892.

the annuities for lower salaried em-

Most of the members pf the House
Civil Service Committee, headed by
Representative Frederick r. Lehl-
bach Of New Jersey, chairman, APP
peared before the Rules Committee
today.
Lehlback explained that the Dale

of what the employees will con.

Representative Frederick w. DIAL
1inger Of Massachusetts asserted
that the cost would not be more
than half Of this, pointing out that
in the past the actuaries have tar
the cost Of the re-
Lirement system.
He said the actuaries had failed
to take into consideration the early
death Of Government employees.
Details Discovered
The actuaries, he said, had as
sumed that Government employees
would live the average time. ac-
cording TO life insurance actuarial
tables. but that this has not turned
out to be true. and they have died
very early.
The actuaries had also assumed
hat Government employees would re-
tire as soon as they could. which
also proved a false theory, he said.
Last Liberalization
Chairman Bertrand Smell, Of the
rules committee, said he wished
the employees would realize how

HOUSE To PASS
BOULDER DAM
MEASURE

Violations have shown, have been
enthusiastically engaged in seeking
to encompass the defeat or this
legislation"
Fear not" johnson said, the
conclusion nf his speech. This
dam can be built and under the
providence of God, will be built. It
will be another milestone in progress
and achievement, another tribute to
American ability, skill and courage.
Needing the recommendation OF
President Coolidge and fearful Of
a new flood disaster being laid at
its door. the House today took up
the Swing-Johnso bill for the
building of Boulder Canyon Dam on
the Colorado River.
With the threat of filibuster1ng
tactics met by the firm decision OF
leaders to bring the bill to VOTE
all indications pointed to its passage
within three days.
The only stumbling blocks In the
path OF the measure appeared to be
the opposition Of power interests to
a government dam on the Col
orado, where power sites are al
ready being eagerly sought, and
the refusal Of Arizona to join with
six other states In a compact for
the project.
Unable to meet all Of Arizona's
objections, the House irrigation
committee recommended that Con-
gress recognize Boulder dam as
emergency legislation OF national
scope.
Concessions to Foes
To meet objections Of many anti.
government ownership members,
the committee provided that the
Secretary Of the Interior could sell
power from Boulder Dam to priv
ate companies who would distribute
1t.
Powerful support was expected
for the bill both from Republican
and Democratic sides. Representa-
tive Tilson of Connecticut, Re.
publican leader, was expected to
back the principles of the bill with
Representative Garner CD Of Texas
heading strong Democratic group.
