UNIVERSITY COOKS.
'ntereatino Experiment Going on With
tho Lunch Counter Problem.
Pajsfry cooks are capable of things
mnr.lug, but they hold man's digestive
?rgans In contempt. What, care the
.astry cooks for the dyspepsia of tbe
vorld? Do they consider the stonv
:cbs of those who will consume either
:be teugh or greasy paste for which a
auce or "Piling" Is the cxcurc? Not a
>it. So thinks Misn Bertha BuOln.
.vbo Is responsible for an Interesting I
txpaftnient which is going ou with the |
unch counter problem in tbe Wo?
men's college of Brown university.
She Is trying to give the girls good,
wholesome fare, not baker's cake, ba?
ler's pic, that machine made pic tum?
id out by the thousands, or other In?
digestible dainties, for girls will cat]
such strange things. She says: "Tbcy
will find that rice pudding Is not so I
bad to take, for thnt. concoction need
not bo the watery, uncooked mess of |
tho old time boarding school, but
truly palatable dish." Miss Buf?u, '05, |
.ind Miss Eaton, her collengue. an un?
dergraduate, nay they aren't sure how
the experiment wns started, but It Is
going along Bwlmnilngly. "Tbe menu
of the old lunch counter consisted,"
says Miss Buflln, "of nonp which was
lulu and watery and not very warm,
pastry and pink, brown and white ice ]
cream. The fickle, whimsical appetite
of girls who spend most of their time
indoors is not ensy to please. Their
tastes seem to run to spiced meats and
chopped meats rather than to plain,
good solid roast beef or mutton. Rath?
er than milk they drink coffee In
spite of these difficulties, however, tbe
two now managers have succeeded in
materially changing the old menu nnd
making it attractive. What is served
Is possibly plainer, but it Is more sub?
stantial and certainly more digestible."
Yellow stains on the margins of en?
gravings may be removed by spong?
ing carefully with a solution of hy
droclilorido of sods.

Taft Loses In Bay 8tate?Adminis?
tration Forces Learn Proposition toj
Send Uninstructed Delegation from
Massachusetts Grows in Favor.
WASHINGTON. 1). C? Pel|. 5-?
Slate Chairman Timothy 1? Woodruff. I
of Um New York stifte Republican
Committee, formally turned the state,
organization over to the support of
Governor Hughes' presidential boom
tonight at the dinner or the Richmond
County Republican Committee.
It Is said to Ho the present purpose
<>r those v,ho control the Republican
organization to place It in the hands
ol Governor Hughes' and then leave
the ^election of those who will he
most closely identified with the man?
agement of his presidential boom to
the governor himself. They will not
seek to force their active support up?
on him.
The motive for placing the matter
before Governor Hughes in this un?
encumbered form is to "smoke out"
Mr. Ode)!, who Is charged with hav?
ing asinuned unwarranted authority
In connection with the movement for
Governor Hugh) a with ulterior pur?
poses. The Woodruff men are con?
vinced that the object which Gover?
nor Odell seeks is a factional fight
between the organization and sup?
porters of Governor Hlights, out of
which he sees a possibility of regain?
ing control of the state organization,
nnd they hope to create a situation
which will drive Governor Odell to
the woods and clarify the i>olltlca)
atmosphere, which has become somo
what clouded recently.
Bay State Outlook Clears.
A new factor in the presidential
situation today is the apparent with?
drawal of the administration forcer
which have been engaged In an at?
tempt to elect Taft delegates In Mas?
sachusetts. This state has been for
weeks the fighting ground in New
Eugland. Senator lx>dge. as the sup?
porter of the administration, has urg?
ed Secretary Taft a? a presidential
candidate, while Scnntor Crane ha'
quietly argued that, it would be morr
filling for the state'to rollow the New
England precedent or sending unin?
structed delegations. This policy of
uninstructed delegations came to br
the Ilm on which anti-Taft Senate r
and others opposed to the secretary
of war worked.
Representative Gardner, son-lh-law
of Senator ix>dg?. went to Massachu?
setts ten days ago and came back tr
report that, the people whom he saw
showed some hesitancy about com
mittlen themselves. It was showr
that the Tort managers wert- no'
meeting with the success anticipated
Today comes tho announcement
t'unt the fight lias been declared off
Former Representative "Sam" Pow?
ers, who was recently commissioner'
as Taft manager for Massachusetts
with Jurisdiction extending through
New England, has been instructed tr
cease Iiis activity against an unin?
structed delegation, and it is Haiti that
Senator Crane has won. There la a'
least ground for suspicion that then
will U? few delegates rrom Massachu?
setts for Mr. Taft.
The change In the Massachusetts
situation has put new heart into thos
who are lighting the administration lr
other atatcs of New England, and Mr
Taft's opponents aro confident tonlgh
that he will not again Inke tin an ac?
tive light in that locality. The state
of Maine represents a situation no
unlike that in Massachuseets. Reua
tor Hale is placed In the antl-Taf
column, while Senator Fry? is nn oper
advocate ot the secretary of war.

US AND OL
j Performers are engaged for circus
work pretty much the sauie an are
the other people. Sohle apply per- |
tonally or by letter; others are ob- (
talned through advertlsitiK in London
Berlin, Paris and other foreign eitles,
writes Tody Hamilton. In the Wnsh
I Ington Star. Another method or oh- '
mining people and attractions is'
i through foreign theatrical agents.
Th 10 agents are found In the prill- I
.clpal eitles throughout the world
[Their llnauelal Interests Induce tin in
to keep posted In all public amuse-!
iiunts. studying interesting ami uov-j
el features of entertulnincin and keep-]
log en rapport with tho latest stars
of tho stage and ring. They are the
thousand eyed of the big show.
When one of these agents discov?
ers a new act by an Individual or
troupe, he Will try to secure engage?
ment for the performers on the basis
of 5 per cent, on the imhiry receive.I.
wh'ch royalty continues as long as
the engagement last?. It la part bl
tile business' of tho foreign agent,
therefore to keep In touch with all
the big shows throughout the world,
and It Is through such agencies that
the place of a particular rider or ath?
lete can be filled at short notice.
The first official step between cir?
cus maniiger and performer Is the;
signing of an iron-clad contract ThlB
contract covers about forty rules
which, If strictly adhored to, would
qualify the signer for n proscenium
lox In gk.vy. The subscriber has
only the personal freedom left to en?
able him or her to perform the act
contracted for, and to eat and sleep
between tinier. All .clso Is' forbidden
?>r proylded for In the rules mention?
ed. Eyon the kind of clothing wem
between performances Is specified:
and to Insure the uiforeenient of UiIb
rulo the su mof 25 cents per week Is
assnised against each und every per?
former and paid to the txirler of the
-ar for this service. The fines for
violation of tho rules vary from $1 to
$25.
All grades of performers must sub
icrlbe to the some rules. There I? u
clause in tho contract generally which
permits cither of tho parties to it to
terminate tho aanio upon two weoka'
??"iHce. Thus, whon a particularly
high-priced act Is not required beyond
?i certain time, the two weeks' nolle:
'nds the engagement. Sometimes
tide sudden severance of business re?
lations works a great hardship to tbo
performer, who may bo "fired" at the
mint most remote' from bis linse. Tint
onietimes tho performer gots a bet?
ter engagement, when he alms to give
?lotlco so as to be nearest his base
vhen the two weeks shall havo ex
olred. This scheme Is usually foiled
^y tho circus manager with the
??? him reniv; "you don't havo to
wait two weeks. Quit now. tjo to
lb wagou and get your money."
This two-weeks' clause In contract!!
'is made use of by the manager at the
-?lose of his metropolitan season, after
Ms show has secured the lioarty in?
dorsement of the metropolitan prcw.
o cut down the expenses for the road,

aerary. Of course the printing rc
nalns the sanio In the Insi. case, nnd
he tlualrical metropolitan press no
'ccs are used throughout the ontlrj
icason.
The fixed salaries of performers, H
must bo borne In mind, include loard
md lodging, the first being furnished
n tho cook lent, the lattor in sleep
ug accommodations on the cart.
Originally, with the old-time circus
Kiard and lodging meant hotel bills:
ut the Immense size of tho modern
how and the large personnel have
hanged all of that'. The show tents

When a street parade Is on the
move, many accidents occur, and the
show Is often mulcted In damages.
Hand wagons cost from $i?.00t> to $C

nanclal rtturil? for which Mr. Bailey
decided were dlsprouortInnate to the
cost. Hut It Is merely mentioned hero
in Its relation to the subject under
consideration, the performers and i
their duties and hardships.
Tho streol parade necessitates ear
ly rising, an early breakfast, an extra
clumr.o of costume, a long and dusty'
ride in tho hot sun, a scramble for
dinner, and that "tired feeling" to be?
gin the real day's work on a little
later. And all of this to please a
largo clasp of people who never upend
a cent to see the real show.
At the close of the season all em?
ployes are discharged except a few
necessary persona, like nnlmnl train?

Is nothing left of the show except
tho animals and those who care for
them, the wagons, tents and pnrn

duplicated for, Buy. $100.000. The
Adam Foropaugh snow, once on the
