CNIOX COUHTYGIBX SOLVES - PROBLEM. lllaa Clara Pierce bt La Grande who " kai Just completed a course In da nestle science at the Oregon Agri cultural college, has an Interesting article on borne problems In the June number of the Oregon Countryman, the monthly ma'gazlne published by the students of agriculture and home economic. . Miss Pierce was a member -of the Margaret Snell club, composel f the domestic science and art stu dents of the college, a member of the Waldo Hall club, made up of the girls in the dormitory, and of the 8orosls Literary society, of which ahe was president this year. - "During the past year there has teen given at O. A. C. a course In the Domestic Science department called home economics, Its fundamental aim being to teach economic marketing and systematic management In the preparation of meals," says Miss Pierce In her article, "The meals served were under the entire management of the women tak ing the course, two women at a time having charge of the marketing, prep aration and serving. The cost aver aged 15 cents a plate, once, however, going as low as ten cents a plate and once aa high as 35 cents. The result was astonishing; It seemed almost In credible that such nourishing and at tractive meals could be served at such little cost. "The high cost of living today la ot sue so much to the untrained and careless preparation of meals as o the fact that the housewife does not know how to buy. Iu catering to her 'family ahe is obliged to decide be tween two Issues; one to pay more in cash and try to economise In cooking, -the other to buy less expensive artl; les of food and be wmpelled to pay ;a high price In time, labor and atten tion in preparing the food for the ta tle. Too often in the former method chosen. Expensive steaks are pur- chased when cheaper cuU of meat are aa nourishing aad with a little care ran be made aa attractive. Buying mm ana vegeiaujes out or season is an expensive luxury that the Ameri can family Indulge Into no little ex lent The housewife has not beea -trained to know how to buy nor what -to buy. Thus this course baa-saught o give the student a dear Idea of the Vhlnd of food a given sua of money can buy and. bow It can be prepared. "The student in preparing these jueals put Into actual practice, knowl edge previously acquired In the fore running course of tudy and although the scientific mansgement of -eals vac emphasized it was not the only Arcade Theatre TAI'DKVIII E TOMIOHT.

Following is mo menu: bosidu baked beans, 10 cents; brown broad. 6 cents; lettuce and celery salad, Is cents, peach shortcake and cream, IS cents. . "At another time the 'paper bag' idea 'Was brought out. This style of cooking, discovered by a French chef few years ago, Is much In vogue and has Us value in tnat the extrac tions of mean and Jukes of vegetables are kept in and the food is thus made more nourishing and palatable. The paper bag' luncheon that was giveu was served to eight persons and con sisted of two course and cost 15 cents per plate. The menu was as follows: Pork roast, 25 cents; baked potatoes, 8 cents; cream peas, 15 cents; tomato pickles, 15 cents; luncheon rolls, 5 cents; ginger cream, 25 cents; wafers. 4 cents; coffee, 4 cents.

"An unusual amount of stress was laid upon the table decorations and some of the effects were truly unique. It was surprlsin gto aee what beauti ful effects could be obtained wUh such little means. It no money were allotted for table decorations, the in dents resorted to wild flowers and ferns.. Some of the most graceful ot the'deootratloaa were obtained by (be use of such inexpensive things. Iu most of U)9 luncheons given a definite color scheme waa carried out, not or ly in the decorations but also tn tho menu.':,; ,;v ..
