TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1929 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON PAGE SEVEN CAFETERIAS IN SCHOOLS SERVE 36.701 LUNCHES A total of 36,701 lunches were served In the three school cafeterias of Salem during the past year for which $6065.30 was paid, reports Mrs Eula Creech, head ol the home eco nomics department, to Superinten dent George W. Hur. Twice as many lunches were served in the Parrish junior high school cafeteria as In either of the other two, says Mrs. Creech's report. At Parrish 18,709 lunches were serv ed with receipts totalling $2378.88. Leslie junior high served 0730 lunch es with receipts at $1213.60. At the sonlor high school cafeteria 8262 persons were served for 1441.82. A slight profit remains in the treasury at the closes of the year. This fund will be used to start the school cafeterias in the fail. An at tempt Is made to serve the food as nearly at cost prices as is possible. Mrs. Creech recommends In her report that home administration be made a required subject for senior girls In high school. This course Is not vocational says Mrs. Creech but takes home and family problems as a content subject and requires as much "head" work as Latin. Since the college entrance requirements do not include as much mathema tics., sciences and languages as for merly, Mrs. Creech suRgests that there Is room in the schedule for making the home administration course a requirement for girls. RUSSIAN WAIFS NOW CONE FROM STREETS Moscow Homeless children, who used to Infest Russian cities, working in gangs and thieving or robbing pedestrians, are rapidly disappearing. As a consequence one may traverse some of the side stre ets now at night with reasonable expoctlon of arriving home without losing ones watch or purse. In 1928 there were about 30.000 of these waifs In various cities. About 20,000 were picked up by var ious organizations last year and placed in institutions to be trained in useful work, fed and cared for until they have lost their gang in stincts. More than 3,200 were res cued from the streets of Moscow alone. For yours the waifs were an un solved problem. Most of them lost their homes and parents In the civil wars and revolutionary lighting, but some took to the streets by choice and these proved the most recalcitrant. Attempts by tne com mission of education to reclaim them by ordinary institutional methods failed because when the youngsters grew tired of routine lives, they merely ran away. A soecial committee appointed last year has had ' success with "communes of work" Fourof these centers were opened In Raitov, Orio. the Saratov district and Staro-Tcherkass.

She says: " Lux Toilet Soap certainly gives my akin that lovely smoothness we mean by 'studio akin.'" Any girl's popularity depends on lovely skin, say 39 leading directors THE SOFT, enchanting perfection of lovely skin how it does captivate people I Hollywood knows this so well. "Exquisite smooth skin is woman's most compelling charm," says Malcolm St. Clair, famous Paramount director and sums up what 39 foremost Holly wood directors have found out from their experience with motion pictures. "The public will not have a screen star whose skin is not flawlessly beautiful," he continues. "Lovely skin appeals to them more than any other charm. "The cleverest make-up cannot fake beautiful skin under the blazing lights of the close-up. It must be the real thing." Especially now that the huge new in candescent "sun-spot" lights arc used for the close-up is it necessary for a screen star to have perfectly smooth skin. That is why, of the 451 important actresses in Hollywood, including all stars, 442 use Lux Toilet Soap. And all the great film studios have made it the official soap in their dressing rooms. Hollywood finds that this white fragrant soap keeps the skin at its very loveliest. Lux Toilet Soap Luxury such as you bavt founa only in Frtncb "1 j fs at Wf and $1.00 tbc cab . . now Iv I
