A SUBJECT often discussed but
never settled, relates to the
.phase of this important question is
found in the penny lunch, or school
luncn movement The Pictorial Re
view for March contains an article
on a high schobl lunch room in
Chicago operated by the Rogers
Park Woman's club, which contains
many suggestions for the active
mind. The magazine story says:
"Judged from the view-point of its
2,500 satisfied customers and in the
matter of food, there is probably no
more competent judge than the boy
Snd girl of high school age the
jnost successful cafeteria in the city
of Chicago , is undoubtedly the
Nicholas Senn high school lunch
room, operated by the Rogers Park
Woman club.
This lunch room is a practical
demonstration of the value of co
operation in community life. It is
not a financial venture but a well
organized and setf-supporting pub
lic enterprise, where home and
school join hands at noon-time, and
where the daily luncheon at the
school building is served the pupils
by their own smiling mothers. This
institution has passed the experi
mental stage and is now in the sixth
ytar of its services, with an equip
ment second to none, with sufficient
enthusiasm born of success to carry
it safely through many years of well
doing, and with a financial report
which shows an encouraging bal
ance at the end of each year.
"The Nicholas Senn high schffol,
third largest in Chicago, with an
enrolment of 2,571 pupils, is located
in Rogers park, one of the oooulous.
high-class residence sections of the
r north side, and it is here, every day
at noon-time, that from 1,800 to
2,000 pupils gather in the spacious
dining-hall and are (served with the
best and purest foods at the lowest
possible cost, and where a home at
mosphere 'adds its part to the moral
and physical upbuilding of these lit
tle citizens of the community.
This state of affairs has been
brought about by-the enterprise of
the Rogers Park Woman's club, one
of the largest federated organiza
tions in the city, numbering about
800 members, the majority of whom
are mothers of children of high or
grammar school age. One of the
most important standing committees
in this club is the Nicholas Senn
lunch room committee, with sub
committees for each school day of
the week. Each sub-committee has
a chairman and vice chairman as
well as from 10 to 20 working mem
bers, each of whom devotes a por
tion of her day to the activity of
the lunch room at Nicholas Senn.
Service is in cafeteria style from
long , counters laden with soups,
meats, vegetables, salads, breads,
rolls, sandwiches; pies, cakes and
puddings; milk, cocoa and ice cream.
As for ice cream, this high school
has the largest standing daily order
of ice cream among the city's lunch
rooms.
. "So greatly has the demaild for
tee cream increased among our pu
pils," says Miss Carleton, "that in
the last year we have found it neces
sary to'instali a special counter at
the back of the room for those de
siring a second service."
The kitchen and bake shop are
conducted along the most modern
scientific lines and are fully equipped
with up-to-date electrical apparatus.
An electric dishwasher takes care of
5,000 to 20.00G dishes daily, as well
as some silver and gtassware. The
dishes are run into and out of the
Kitcnen on wheeled trucks. A po
tato peeler prepares seven bushels
of potatoes in less than two hours.'
An electric potato masher and elec-
ric cake beater and mixer are also
part of the equipment.
Seven bushels of potatoes are
cooked and served each school day.
Twenty gallons of gravy, 10 gallons
of soup. 150 to' 200 pounds of meat.
20 pounds of macaroni or spaghetti
are but a small part of the daily ra
tion's. . -
In the sandwich room a bread
slicer cuts, in 15 minutes, all the
bread necessary for 1,000 sandwich
es, and in 15 minutes an electric but
ter cutter reduces to small portions
10 or 12 pounds of butter.
Luncheon is seized in two relays,
the first relay, of approximately
1,000 pupil?, coming in at 12 o'clock.
In 15 minutes this number is served
and checked. When they' have fin
ished eating, about 15 boys assist in
clearing the room, and 15 minutes is
the allotted time for making the
room ready for the next thousand
hungry boys and girls.
Only the best and purest food is
served. The school laboratory
plays its part in analyzing foodstuffs.

Customs Relating to
The Bride's
Jewelry.
The wedding ring is worn first
after a bride is married, and then
the engagement ring. Just before the
marriage ceremony a bride wears an
engagement ring, removes the ring
and goes to the altar ringless. The
wedding ring is placed on the third
finger of the left hand and later the
engagement ring is placed next to
the wedding ring. This is a very
sensible custom, because most
women wish to wear their wedding
ring all the time, whereas there may
be times when they do not wish to
wear the diamond or other engage
ment ring. Thus it can be slipped off
and on without removing the gold
band.
There are, of course, women who
are just as careful to wear their
engagement ring as their wedding
ring., In fact, there are some women
wjio feel that some dire calamity
must be impending if for any reason
the engagement ring slips from their
finger or if the setting of the
diamond loosens so that it must be.
taken to the jeweler for repairs. But
more and more women feel free to
remove their engagement ring. There
are many women who are so careful
to keep the rule not to wear
diamonds in the morning that they"
make this apply even to their en
gagement rings. In certain Red Cross
workrooms where women of wealth
and leisure gathered regularly every
morning to work over knitting ma
chines and. bandage rolling it wit
apparent that more than half of
these women felt that there ws
something inappropriate about dia
mond bedecked fingers in work of
this sort. At any rate, more than ltf
of these women, even though they
wore wedding rings, did not wear
their engagement rings.
Sometimes widows when they be
come engaged to marry a second
time are a little undecided concern-'""
ing the right use regarding the sec
ond wedding ring.
The consensus of opinion seems to
be in favor of retaining the first
wedding ring on the so-called ring
finger of the left hand till the morn
ing of the second marriage. Then
the first wedding ring is removed
and is not worn again. To wear it
on the rigit hand would be. highly
inappropriate after having been mar
ried for the second time. During a
widow's engagement should she
wear hor second engagement ring
on the regular ring finger next to
her first wedding ring? Here there
is difference in usage, but the cus
tom nowadays seems to be for a
widow to wear her second engage
ment rinr on her right hand. After
her marriage she should place this
engagement ring next her wedding
ring on her ring finger. If she
wishes to wear the diamond con
tained in her first engagement ring .
she should not crowd this on the
same finger. Perhaps it would be
more appropriate not to wear it in
its original setting.

Comt&Ent Appreciation!
MOST men who fire their own furnaces like to bank'them at night heaped full,
so that they can be sure of finding a comfortable fire in the morning. They
pick out a nice fat chunk of coal or scoop up a big, life-sized shovelful and heave it
at the door. About two-thirds of it lights on the floor in front of the furnace and
makes an awful mess. Why? Because the feed door was not wide enough. Art
aggravating thing, causing lots of extra work and ruining good nature. Constant
appreciation is expressed in the wide, ample feed door of , - ,
The Colton Pipeiess Furnace
WARH ATft COLD
Y
But it is only one advantage of this modern
heater, which is ideal for new homes, because it
obviates the necessity of special construction. It
is the logical furnace for old homes, as it oan be
quickly installed without cutting or altering the
house. There are no pipes to run through floors
and walls.
It is especially adapted to soft coal, The lower
section of the firepot has slots on the inside.
Through these slots oxygen 4s drawn up,
producing a hot fire clear to the edges of the
furnace, instead of just in the middle.
The combustion chamber is made in straight
lines, allowing no place for the soot of soft coal
to collect it is burned off by the direct action of
the flames. Soot is an insulator its prevention
means better heat with the same coal.
One-piece base, extra heavy triangular grate
bars, thick galvanized irorv casings, deep cup
joints, added radiation' surface -from fluted
combustion chamber, corrugated firepot, etc.,
are few of the many Colton features. .
Guaranteed to save a third of the fuel required
by stoves or pipe furnaces, the Colton Pipeiess
Furnace reduces fire hazard, gives better heat,
better ventilation, and better satisfaction to the
owner.
Whether your home is old or new, you should
adopt this modern, economical heating system.
Its best recommendation is its 5,000 happy users.
