I That is just routine for (.'lief A. P.
! Vescova and his crew. They start in
at 6 a. in. and are through when Hie
t slipper is cleaned up. Hut they have
some medianinil helpers that you
, probably don't have. A potato peeler,
| tor instance, which handles a bushel
every two minutes. It consists ot a
large bow I lined with, eonr.se carborun-
dum which revolves at a high speed,
I,litis, scraping off the peel ami not
bruising the yegetnble. Also, it wastes
less llian peeling hy hand, A heavy
spray oi water keeps the potatoes
clean and washes away the refuse.
If fi'etich-ft'ys are to be served, tile
potatoes then go to the dicing ma-
chine which cut* then in strips 1 cm.
by 1 cm. in cross section.
A meat chopper, a meat sheer, a
bread slicer, a butter sllcer. and a
stetiliiing dishwasher help make life a
Joy for the kitchen force.
If the above menu should pall on
your taste, try this over on your
piano:
15o lbs. of fresh pork, or
| 10 gallons of oysters, or
| 160 lbs. of turkey and now your
correspondent is about to reveal a
| secret. Tile reason turkey has beeu
! served on Sunday for the last mouth
j is not that the management is try-
ing to foster the higli-hat feeling here.
Quite tlio opposite; turkey, when
bought in large quantities is cheaper
than chicken. Now the truth is out!
Ulce ia too poor to serve anything
hut turkey on Sunday and Thanks-
giving. Fifteen to IK proud birds give
up their lives each week for Ultra.
Think of it:
Ou the same day that the turkeys
find their way to the table, 12 gallons
of Ice cream are consumed. 1'sually
it is a two-color brick and each piece
is wrapped separately, so that the
frantic freshmen, pawiug over the
' stack in the middle of the table Hi
' lind the largest piece get only the one
I they pick up and not also as much as
would stick to their fingers.

($180) per mouth is the little item
marked "laundry." Vou could have
j thousand shirts washed for that much.
But who wants a thousand shirts

" shirts that need washing? If this
amount of money was pro-rated out
I how much laundry do you think you
j could get out of hock? One cent and
7 mills worth per day, which isn't

Waiter service ibis year is entirely
freshmen. Hist year's most popular
waiter, Bush Jones, is head waiter
and Ills chief assistant it Jake Hess.
To them falls the job of properly seat-
ing ten eaiers, keeping order and
otherwise enforcing the rii'es of the
i tuess-liail and Induing ami directing
: the waiters.
I Mentis for the entire week are pre-
' pared at one time by the chef. He
; then confers with Mr. Hardy and any
1 changes are agreed upon by both of
(them, in discussing menu-building,
Mr, Hardy said,' "We loci that we
must, please an average of 7." per cent,
to make a meal a success, (if course,
sometimes a lower percentage than
I'f,tint is pleased. And then Hornet lines
if a not so popular meal preceds a
fairly good one that would ordinarily
] rate about 75 per cent, the comparison
i causes this second meal to register
almost, 100 per cent,"
i "There Is a psychological phase to
ibis job of feeding men who are study-
j ing." said Mr. Hardy, "About the
i middle of December and the last of
January there is a period of depres-
i shut (alio about two weeks following
i those times). At thest? times especial-
i ly Wfj try to make life a litt'e more
; interesting for tile men here. If we
, can help them in any way, then we
i have done our share toward making
their school year n success."
1 It Is a well known fact thai people
will crab longer and more fluently
- about food than any other item of
; their living. Clothe an institutional
i groutt poorly, sleep them on hard beds.
i heat the rooms Irregularly, and work
j them ov ertime and they bear it tvith
I,their mouth shut. But give them the
slightest opportunity to tell how bad
the food is and they exercise th'eir
right of tree speech. So the director
of (he food department lias his hands
full. Ami the kitchen here stands up
there with tlie best of them.

Still they come. Books and more
books on every conceivable subject
and of every degree of goodness and
badness. You are bound to find one
in this column that will Interest you,
because there is an example of al-
most every type.

Sax Uoluner has Just produced an-
other of his wierd mysteries. He calls
it "Fire Tongue." It's all about Eng-
lishmen and a murder and a strange
Egyptian girl culled Naida. The plot
is horribly but satisfactorily worked
out. Sir Charles Abington is murdered
in his ow n home. Paul Harley is the
pedplexed and perplexing detective.
Nicul Brultui is a young mau who Is
involved along with Naida. It is a
book that will hold you to the finish
and haunt you afterward.

Sabatini's latest is "The Romantic
Priuce." This is romance in ruffs
and jewels throughout. The setting Is
Flanders during the reign of the re-
lentless and cruel Louis XI. His po-
litical methods are revealed with
blood-chilling directness. Prince An-
tony d'Egmont, Duke of Guinne, runs
true to form and is a dashing and
fearless character. He falls In love
with Joanna, the daughter ot a Flem-
ish merchant.) The trials of their
courtship are well worth reading. This
is Sabatini at Ills colorful best.

Mention should be made of O. P.
Fairfield's beautifully illustrated and
written volume, "The Italian Renais-
sance in Art." The author loves his
subject and has certainly the power
to make the reader become enthused
with his own enthusiasm. He dls*
cusses all phases of that Incompara-
ble, lost age, and he follows the de-
cline of architecture, literature and
painting with a sympathetic under-
standing. Fairfield gives a good cross
section of Italy's magnificent but very
human society during the Renais-
sance.

"Apron Strings" by May Freud
Dickinson is a dissection of American
life. Jo Knapp Is a man who should
have been au artist, but circumstances
| never permitted. He is the victim of
J 'things MiwKure.' He is compelled by
j necessity to do hated office work
throughout his life. He stumbles Into
marriage, has a home, two children
ami haplnese for a while. Too late, he
finds the idyllic love of his youth.
Divorce; .Is impossible, bwcause his
wife has become an Invalid. The plot
is worked out with a sympathetic
touch. It Is all very distressing, but
not luiid as is some of the work of
| our so-called high-powered realists.
* * *
i "Unforbidden Fruit" by Warner Fa-
J binn is another horrible attempt to
write an accurate story of college lite.
This is the most inaccurate and one-
sided yet. Warner Fabian may bij
remembered as the author of "Flam-
i ing Youth," "Sailor's Wives," and
! "Summer Bachelors." "Unforbidden
I Fruit" is about life in a girl's college.
| The characters never study and they
j al have rush complexes. There is
! one fine character in the book. Thank
1 goodness for her! Warner Fabian lias
! certainly overstepped the bounds of a
jazz-mud novel in this one.

Are you Interested in the "End of
I the World, I'he Science of the Sum-
mer Girl," "Dream Symbolism," "For-
gotten Cities," and many other quaint
and interesting details of our modern
life? If so, read "Snapshots of Sci-
1 ence" by Hi R. Slosson. The author
has achieved, without sacrificing sci-
entific accuracy and terms a volume
that may well bo read by anyone
without the aftermath of a fjerloos
case of boredom. Slosson touches on
the new developments in the fields
of agriculture, medicine, industry, as-
tronomy, pathology, history and what
have you. There is an unbelievably
delightful amount of humoti In these
pages and a valuable source of Infor-
mation suited for use in conversation
or argument. The book carries a per-
sonal note that cannot fall to interest.
Very carefully stated, we have out-
lines or mentions made of our modern
achievements and at the end. a list
of discoveries and inventions needed.
