y i v HOUSEKEEPING ON A LINER Cooking Arrangements on World's Biggest Ship, Vaterland. MACHINERY DOES THE WORK Vtt IMnyrtl Uy lileot rlclt? In Cnrlnu for n Family of I'lvo Tlmu unnil 1 n 111k .loll. flannlns three men 1b u day for the (mall Aniprlrun family Is the arduous task from which the houwwlfo In summer ea&orly seeks "chntiKe and n rest." How would It seem to bo responsible for pro vldlnc three menls a day for h family of E.000, some of whom have mighty flnlckv appetites, and do all the marketing tor one week at a time? How the enro of the summer cottage dwindles In contrast with the , gigantic task of sweeping and dustlnK between 17,000 and 1S.O0O rooms, where the orcu pants do not "clear out," but nre "under foot" for a whole week. Comparison nnd the upstairs and downstairs point of view make housekeeping on the Vaterland seem an achievement next to Impossible. What accomplishes this tremendous task is the application of the same selvneo which governs the oreratlon of the Inr.-e steel plant, organized under srlentlflo management. It Is motion stin'y, card pystems, working plans, organization, scientific operation ami scientific equip ment. It Is n bewildering sensation to bo conducted through this queen of ship. Kitchen tjookn I.lki- it Mnchlue Shop. Ono is first Impressed by the elegance, and simplicity, too; but behind the heavy fire and waterproof doors are tho nu merous kitchens, where simplicity ends. The main first-class kitchen looks like, a machine ship, with little evidence of Its purpose, until one of the big steam operated caldrons Is opened and an un mlstakablo whiff of oatahles puts tho machine ship In Its proper clasis. In this compact white kitchen there ate facili ties for tho preparation of food for GOO to S00 people, who may be seated In the first-class dining room. It has twelve large coal-burning ovens and two grills for broiling. Rows of shining copper kettles aro conveniently placed on hooks on the wall and machines, big and little, are everywhere. In what looked most like nn Iron sta tionary tub, with large Iron mixers, which were working by electricity, latibskaus, hash, with spices, .minced itself without supervision, to bo eaten for supper by a fow, the chef said 200. Three larae steam-operated cauldrons full of boiling water seemed to bo In state of eruption, nnd when the gauge read the correct temperature, covers were unchained, and five barrels of lobstem started on their last Journey. These wero for a "little luncheon" of 600 agents of the Hamburg American line today. Klght white-capped cooks stood at attention while the bar rels of lobsters wero rolled along and dumped, a barrel at a time, into the scald ing water. Automatic Emit Hollers. The eggs .aro not cooked to perfection In this kitchen, tho trouble must bo with tho eggs. A row of-kettles, electrically heated, contain tho boiling water. Above tho kettles small wire baskets , hold tho eggs, and these baskets are attached to a complicated device, which registers tho minutes required for cooking, and auto matically; lifts the eggs out at- the proper .time. There are mechanical peeling de vices for vegetables; some of them scat tered In tho smaller kitchens especially for handling vegetables? In separate roomslv but convenient to the main first class kitchen, aro the specialty kitchens, nnd tho wine room, where there aro 2,500 bottles of llhlno wine, claret, and cham pagne. Munich and Pllsener beer are tho only kinds served, tho steward said. In the pantry, near the main kitchen, (there is tho greatest compactness. Every inch of wall space Is used for rows of hooks for cups, wooden racks for glass ware, and special machines for cutting cold meats and bread. The revolvlns meat-cutting machine sliced cold ham at the rato of eighty-two slices a mimito, and the bread machine cut sixty-four wafer-like slices of bread of uniform thickness In one minute In the pantry were telephones connecting with tho other kitchen departments, and tho din ing room, which adds much to their effi ciency. The pantrymen were resting from luncheon work, and mugs of beer stood waiting German mugs, about nine Inches high. Near by was tho silver-room with an electric machine for cleaning silver. Two rollers were covered with felt containing polishing powder. Between these rollers was sufficient room to Insert the blado of a knife. The current was turned on, and to insert a knife once between tho roll ers was sufficient to accomplish a perfect polishing. In this way it was possible to polish 800 knives required during the day, and to do other thing besides. An interesting feature of the housekeep ing system was the method of keeping In touch with tho dining room. In a sepa rate little room set apart for the station steward there is a largo speaking tube to the dining room at which tho steward stands for orders, which he sends to the head cook by messengers. The station steward also is in charge of an elec trically operated set of lights which indi cate whether the cabin stewards are prop erly attending to passengers' calls. When a passenger pushes tho button for a stew ard It not only signals he steward near at hand, but also lights the signal of that particular deck in tho station steward's office below. This light- does not go out until the cabin fteward has attended to the passenger's wants. This double ctieck on the service is one of tlio minv In stances were more than ordinary atten tion has been given to provlle -r enitr gency. Tea, Coffee anil Chocolate Kltcltt-n. A whole kitchen Is given over to the making of tea, coffee and cho-iUte by machinery; the big tanks holding forty five litres each. Ileware of tl.o wall when investigating here, for silver tea and coffee pots, cream Jugs and chocolate pots hang down in close rows. They aro made with extra hoavy bottoms, so as not to tip over easily. These, too, can be cleaned by machinery. Tho pastry room has electrical mixerj bake ovens, and the head cook said "The best flour in New York." Timbales were being prepared for the "little " luncheon of the 600 hungry agents They looked like huge pop-overs, thea feathery sheels made of six pounds of flour, six pounds of butter and 120 eggs. They were o be filled with peaches, strawberries, marma lade, plstache nuts and whipped cream, dubbed "TImbale-Frasfer," ond each ono served to six or eight people. In ono corner of the pastry kitchen was an electric toaster. On board ship there is a decided leaning toward toast, so the toaster la large and has layers of sticks of coal, which are hurried by tleotrieity. Six thousand pieces of toj.t it day the pastry man makes. Near a apodal refrigerator to keep the cream cooi. is an clri tri. mn hlne to whip I It can whip enough cream In uftecn minutes for J") pnple Ice cream ma chines nre here, too. where the crorvm refrigerator is hamly. The eold-stoi-nge- boxen are scatter! all over the null nary departments of the ship; each re frigtrator being devoted to but one cloMt or eatahle. Dishwashing Is a big Item whleh the machines accomplish In short order, and only a small proportion of the china Is broken; but It l very good quality Saxony ehlnn, with a simple royal bluo band and monogram.
