to have on hand whatever is or. dered. There are temperamentai tastes which delight in ordering what isn't on the menu. The dien- tian i,ss solved this problem by keeping canned foods which provide foods from any cline at any season. If a guest demands loezrberries when the bushes are sn"~-covered. or takes a fancy to HawA-s.e salad when be happens to be in New York = the can solves the problem.
 "We buy the best brands of canned foods" explains the diet- tian. "xnd then there is no need to pass them off as the raw product. because foods rightly canned are Iust as good as the raw foods just cooked. and people nowadays know it Right now. we have two car loads of canned foods in the train wards ready for delivery - one of peas and one of string beans. Our guests will not ask whether these are canned or fresh string beans because they are good canned beans. The canned product is less expen- sive and enables us to make a better profit.
 serye, we often buy out an entire nack of one of the smaller canreries. On today's menu, under 'Vege- tables we have fresh Brussels sprouts, eggplant. new peas and new string beans. and also canned spinach, canned string beans. canned h~ets and canned asparagus

 Al the second meeting, called after inc so-caEled committee of citizens had petitioned the council for such a meeting and the council, under pro test and with no alternative, had granted the petition. The vote was to see if the citizens would instruct the water commissioners to carry out he work west of the Little River, or, in other words, complete the whole of the second plan submitted by the water commissioners.
 Due to growing interest at this time, and to the fact that more inter est was aroused when the city was circularized and the voters urged to vote 'No," because, among other arguments, vote of "Yes" would increase the water rentals. a much larger vote was boiled than at the first meeting. At this meeting 4S6 votes were cast, 204 voting not to finish the job and l92 voting in favor of completing the whole contract at once.
 Causes Dissatisfaction
 A group of citizens were dissatisfied at the prospect of having a half-done job. A meeting was called to discuss the matter. The outcome of this so- called citizens meeting was deter imitation to give the citizens an oppor- tunity to express themselves on the matter of concrete reservoir on Rich mond Hill, the first plan submitted by the water commissioners, known as "Symonds' first plan"
 It took some little persistency and aggressiveness to bring this meeting about. The common council reluctant

The project was voted upon after 1t was preached by Noah Lucas, chairman of the boys work committee.

One member characterized it as one of the best things Rotary does.
 Rev. William H Alderson, the in- coming president spoke Of the visi- tation of the Danish Boy Scouts. He said this interchange of visits be- tween Boy Scouts of America and Denmark was for the purpose of strengthening international relations and it ended toward the eventual elimination of war. He asked for names of those in the local club who will help entertain Danish boys in New Britain, LeRoy Reddick. A. P, Leavitt and Leon A. sprague offer ed their homes and q number of others said they would report to Rev. MT. Alderson or President A. H. Scott later,

BASEBALL OWNERS
 TALK 0F WEATHER
Find This Season Has Been
 Worst Since 1920

New York, June ' tP-With every club represented. National league baseball magnares met today at the office of President John Heydler prl- marlly 10 talk about the weather. which they found has been worse the last two years than any time since 1920.
 While not just clear as to what could be done about it the owners before the meeting appeared to be unanimous that something ought to be.
 They were prepared to discuss the suggestion that the big leagues post pone their season next spring until more settled weather might be eX- pected. Any definite action, how ever. could be taken only in coop eration with the American league. MT. Heydler explained.
 The league chief himself eX- pressed doubt as to whether an opening date two or three weeks later would satisfy the weather man any better. pointing out that May is about as fickle as April and really settled baseball weather does not arrive until June. He said there has been an unprecedented amount of illness among big league ball players thus far this season, traceable to the indictment weather that has prevailed.
 Figures laid down before the mag mates showed that the National lea que somehow has fared worse than the American in it's gambles with the weather In the ten years from 1919 to 1928 there was a total of 26O games postponed in the National league during the period from open ing day to May 20, approximately the five weeks. In the American league over this same period 25i games were postponed, 26 less than in the National.
 Boston has been the victim of the most postponements in each league. The Boston Americans had 42 and Washington the smallest number. 2l. The Boston Nationals had 41. New York was next in the league with 36. Pittsburgh, S5, Philadelphia g, Cincinnati and Chicago each 30, Brooklyn 20 and St. Louis 27. Brooklyn had two years with no postponemenfs in this period. Chi cago, Cincinnati and st. Louis each had one year.
 The present season has been bad, but it was not the worst on record for the first five weeks. The worse years were 1920 and 1927. each with 37 postponed. The best years were 1928 and 1926 with only 14 games postponed.
