Judge that the larger the city, the
larger the proportion Of pupils
who require this service. OF course,
in any city the proportion varies,
depending upon the location Of the
school, whether or not it is in a
residential neighborhood of high
or low economic level.
Thegcneral movement for school
lunches has grown and certainly
holds great possibilities, both i'm
mediate and future. A committee
of the American Medical Associa-
ton has recently released an Off
clai statement concerning this in
ereasingly significant unit in the
AMERICAN dietary.
In adapting the school lunch to
the needs of the child. one must
recognize and correct the principal
nutritional Deficiencies most com
monty found in American diets.
These are calcium, vitamin B, and,
In certain areas, iron, iodine and
several minor vitamlns. Where
money is lacking for the purchase
of food in the home, or the ade-
Guate provision Of lunch for the
child, a deficiency in all these es-
sentlals may exist.
The food sources from which
these deficiencies can be made up
are: milk for calcium and vita
MINIS; eggs for phosphorus and
iron; cheese for calcium and phos-
phorus; vegetables, fruits and
meats for many minerals, includ-
Ing IRON; whole grains and peas
and beans for vitamin B..
The proper feeding of a vast
multitude, whether in an army or
in d nation, constitutes an appall-
Ing problem. Not only must a suit
able diet be furnished, but the diff
rult.es of transportation and pres
ervation must be observed.
Future Values -.
The school lunch, as we'll as the
army food, has tremendous poten-
tialltles for good, not only because
1t provides q balanced diet, but
also in the education of the indi-
Nidual: these children and soldiers
Should have learned, for the bene-
ft of their health and their future
families health, what a completely
balanced, nutritious diet consists
of.

Adapting Schoo| Lunch

school lunches are so important
that the management of all the
cafeterias in all the public schools
should be placed in the hands of a
single director.
Certainly the sale of undesirable
foods, such as candy and tonics, in
the cafeteria or on the school
premises should be stopped. In
order to sidestep this particular
problem, the school children should
not be allowed to leave the school
premises during the lunch hour
and no n should be allowed to
bootleg candy or other foods to
them.

The new girl thrust into DR.. Kill
dare's life by the script writer's, who
are only trying in their feeble way
to help him forget, is rich waif
from cafe society who is known as
Cookie. She makes more passes
than a drunken circus press agent,
none of which ever get her or the
picture anywhere. In other words,
she is frustrated, the young doctor
is frustrated. and the odds are that
you will feel frustrated. too.
In your case, the condition is un-
likely to last longer than it takes
the picture to end and the stage
show to begin. The latter is head
lined this week by the superlatively
fine dancing of Paul Draper and the
vivid wit of John Hoysradt, the
latter one of the funniest men in the
business of satirizing the human
race.
'Dr. Kildare's Victory" as you un-
doubtedly have guessed, takes up
Jimmy's career shortly after it was
wrecked by the death of Nurse La

with all the other characters in the

pretty Cookie, wandering out of

piece of glass in her heart.
That's Jimmy's chance to pull
miraculous operation, involving re-
moving the heart as We understood
it from old DR.. Gillespie lecture,
and to make the girl as good as new
again. 1t turns out that that was
not very good for even before the
anaesthetic has worn off, she's gone
to work on him. In his mood of re-
morse that he could save her, even
if he could not save poor Mary in
the other picture, he would have
been justified in wishing that the
operation had been less successful.
Instead, poor fellow, he merely feels
sorry for her. regarding her as

That rough sketch of the rela-

The comedy burden is left largely
to old DR.. Lionel Barrymore Giles

chair like the same old wounded
elephant, and Head Nurse Molly

conceals the same old heart of gold.
Their antics have become so routine
that they are supplemented in the

who plays the d. ts. The addition

Solo Artists
Score in Ballet
BY J. w. STEPP.

A lusty bravo is in order for the
Ballet Theater, which last night
brought to close its first local
stand on the platform Of Constitu-
ton Hall. And it may be directed
specifically to the following: Trina
Baronova, Alicia Markova, Ian Glib
son and Anton Dolin. on the
strength Of their performances in
last nights program.
The bill was q full one, calling, to
be sure, on the talents of the entire
troupe, which responded in true ar
tistie fashion. But it was the above
quartet of dancers that set the in
spirational sparks flying. Braving
the risks attendant on clambering
upon the limb of prejudice. one
might even say the show was Bar
onova's. For of all the company she
was on the stage most consistently,
and being superb every minute she
was on it.
AS Naughty LiSette in that delight
fully humorous fantasy Of a ballet
Emusic by Johann Wilhelm HarteD
and as dancer most recalled for en-
cores, Baronova exercised virtually
all those qualities audiences admire
in a ballerina. Poise, spirit and ex-
pert physical control were only tech
nical achievements. 1t was her keen
sense for comedy and expression in
the strictly classical moods that
summons extra plaudits. This same
Naughty Lisette" served also to
underscore the mastery with which
Mr.. Gibson executes his effortless
leaps, and Simon Semenoff responds
to comic situation.
Alicia Markova in her Beloved"
role was the epitome of fluid grace.
Dancing with Mr.. Dolin to a diffuse
pattern of Schubert-Liszt music,
Markova injected that quality Of
ease and finish which made the bal
let more attractive than possibly 1t
deserves to be. AS for Anton Dolin,
his notable inning came in the set
of encores. which classic bits he per-
formed flawlessly Annabelle Lyon,
incidentally, working under the
Markova-Dolin shadow in the "Be-
loved" comported herself brightly
and with expressiveness.
Prokofieff's clever orchestral fairy
tale, Peter and the Wolf" emerged
not so clever under Ballet Theater
treatment. Continuity was patchy
and there was marked insufhciency
of actual dancing, in spite of which,
the characters" of the cat, the bird
and the duck were portrayed well by
Sono Osato, Nora Kaye and Karen
Conrad, respectively.
