How numerous have been tha changes
in educational work within the past few
iars Is Indicated by the modern equip
ment that Is used by the Young. Men's
Christian Association In Its educational
department. The latest addition In thla
lino is an automobile purchased for use
of the class In automoblllng.
This car. which Is a modern five pas
senger machine, Is to re used by the au-
i tomoblle students In learning practical

ing the automobile, the management of
the V. M ('. A. has passed a rule that
the machine Is to he used exclusively
by the class and Is not to bo used by
the officers or members of the associa
tion for pleasure
In addition to the automobile, the T.

equipment a complete wireless tel
egraphy plant. This plant waa In
slalled several months ago and with it
messages have leen caught from San
Francisco and even farther south. The
Y. M C A. also owns a launch which
Is the property of the hoys' department.
It Is used a great deal In Bummer and
will be used this year In taking boys
on their trip to the summer camp at

other proposed reforms on the reservation.
A special meeting of the transporta

fee. At 4 o'clock, when the American
Is thinking of home and dinner, the
Englishman repairs to a tea room. The
Eondon tea room Is not unlike a certain
type of American quick lunch room Iji
arrangement. But there the likeness
ends. A deliberate waitress condescyid
lng to take an order, the customer com
poses himself to read or smoke. Tea
and cakes being served eventually, and
consumed In a half hour or an hour, the
afternoon sacrament Is over. But there
Is no hurry.
Germans Take Their Time.
The continental Europeans take even
more time than the English at their
meals, and are even more greatly
shocked by the American system of
swallowing a "sinker" and a cup of cof
fee on the run. The Frenchman and
the Italian, breakfast less, make an or
derly Institution of midday and evening
meals which precludes the possibility of
hurry. The German is different. Upon
arising he takes coffee and rolls. In
the middle of the forenoon he has bis i
second breakfast of sandwiches and I
beer At noon, or shortly after, he has
his dinner, and after dinner he has a
nap. Then he has afternoon coffee and
akes. He returns to work and comes
home to a late supper at S or II o'clock.
The slern requirements of business In
a prosperous nation are such that this
leisurely native German system ! be
ing overturned. Many people cannot
afforo to go home In the day time. So
It Is that the German cafes and res
taurants are always full. Many have
found It impossible to wait on the slow
service of the cafes, and these have
recourse to a certain form of the Amer
ican quick lunch room.
Sandwich Blot Machine.
The stranger in a 'German Industrial
city In search of n quick meal may
walk down the street until he sees tho
American coat of arms emblazoned on

Is sure to be an "Automat" There
one puts a coin In (lie slot and is auto

with hot dishes, with sweets, with t.a

most anything. The automat was born
In New York, but It never made a great
success In Amerlcta. It was exported
to Germany, and there It has flourished
like a green bay tree. It appears that
the Germans have an idea that Amerl-!
cans never eat except the food and !
drink be served by a slot machine. i
