Hauk of Trion, to be capitalized at Those Unable to Pay for Meals Are Guests of Mysterious “Lady Bountiful.” When the bell tapped for the lunch hour at the Inman Park public school this week the children didn’t dig into lunch baskets or packages. Thev trooped down to their own restaurant, each with a penny tightly clasped, and ordered luncheon a la carte. It was the first expt riment in the penny lunch system which the board of woman vis itors of the schools are trying out. What do you think of this as a menu for the opening day? Hot wiener sandwich One cent Apple or banana, with peanut but ter sandwich One cent Baked sweet potato and two gra ham wafers One cent That was the bill of fare, and the children had their choice. Each cent’s worth was a substantial luncheon. The menu will be changed every day, so there will not be a monotony of dishes. Mrs. Victor H. Kriegshaber and Mrs. John D Pickett had charge of the penny luncheon on the first day. There are 597 children enrolled in the Inman Park school, and mo-e than 500 patron ized the luncheon on the first day. The building is so crowded that the princi pal. Mrs. W. T Johnson, gave half he: office to be used as a lunch room, and the children were served there A letter was received from a prom inent woman, offering to provid.- luncheons for those unable to pity, "Serve every child who hasn’t a pen. ny, and keep an account of It," she wrote. 'TH pay the bills.” The penny luncheon is expected to be especially useful in the Inman Park school, as many of the pupils come from the mill district across the tracks, and have been poorly provided with lunch. Some of them have been in the habit of going all day with nothing to eat. a feat neather pleasant not healthful for a giowing child. But most of them had their pennies today, and those who hadn't were fed lust the same. The penny lunches will be served in ■STI STRIKE ATCLIMAXTOMY Mediators to Receive Answers of Carmen and Company to Peace Proposals. AI’GI’STA. <»A„ Oct. IH.
