This gives all children a full two weeks from today to lay their plana to capture one of the prizes. Children should realize from the begin 'nlns that theso prizes are' of decided value. The four aablnet gas ranges, ono for each of the four divisions of tho con- test. are worth approximately $35 each. They are approved gas ranges, such as aro being Installed In Philadelphia homes gevery day by tho United Gas Improve ment Company. In addition to this valu able first prize In each division, there will ;be at least two other prizes, either of which will be well worth winning. Many of the heads of organizations jwhlch are working for the betterment of home conditions In Philadelphia have joined the Evenino Ledoer In Its effort to make the coming event a big success. All' of thoso who have been consulted have unanimously approved the move ment, and stated that their organizations, as well as the public educational system. ftwtll be greatly benefited. me evenino LEDQEn's piiza cooking contest will undoubtedly be of great serv ice to the domestic science branch of the. public schools. It will serve to emphasize the Importance of this special branch, and will awaken a new Interest In domestlo science on tho part of school children and arouse Increased Interest on the Dart i'of parents In what their children are actually obtaining from our public school system. The domestic science department of the public school system Is becoming of neater Importance every year, because the tendency of mothers has been away from teaching their daughters domestlo thoughts rather than toward It, and It has been necessary for the public educa tion authorities to Include in thn rnmilsp schoollns of girls something of a practical ua-.ure relative to the home. inese Bcnooi courses are 'of Inestima ble ValUA in tlfltriA rrtnHltfnno fnp th. homes of the next genera'tlon. The cook las school courses undoubtedly equip the young girls to such an extent that they will not only take a greater Interest In a home When thev haVA nnn nf fthlr nvun to look after, but also prepare them to 'tot an accurate estimate of whether .meals are properly prepared and whether the greatest benefit Is being obtained from thft nmnttnt nf Yinnv Bnn .. lo family Income for foodstuffs.

TYPICAL PUBLIC SCHOOL COOKING CLASS AT RULES GOVERNING EVENING LEDGER COOKING SCHOOL CONTEST FOR GIRLS 1. Entrica arc limited to girla who are members of cooking school classes of tho schools of Philadelphia. Any individual may contest in. all four divisions, but may make but one enfrj t;t each division. S. Contest is to be limited to the baking of 1-pound loaves of bread, baking powder biscuits, sugar cookies and sponge cake, according to tho recipes used in the public cooking schools, or in the schools from which contestants are registered. 3. That conditions may be identical in every case as to efficiency under which work can be produced, the baking is to bo done in a Gas Range oven only. (Arrangements have been made with the United Gas Improve ment Company to extend their free service during the continuarice of this contest, otd any gas range not operating satisfactorily will be adjusted and regulated free of charge.) i. Judging is to be done by an accredited body of judges chosen as may later be determined. 5. All entries for the contest must be presented at Horticidtural Hall, Broad and Locust streets, on Wednesday, June 0, between 0 a. in. and 5 p. Ml. 6. On the bottom of each loaf of bread and on the side of each sponge cake entered, there must be pasted an entry blank clipped from the Evening Ledger, giving the contestant's name, home address, name and number of school attended, name of gas ranqe used (its number when obtainable), and the article of food contested for. Cookies and baking powder biscuits are to be presented in wooden plates, the entry blank, completely filled in as outlined above, in this case being pasted in the plate. Great care must be taken in this respect, because the great number of entries will make it necessary to eliminate any contestant whose blank docs not accompany the exhibit. 7. The exhibits will be judged on Thursday, June 10, and will be on display in the Auditorium of Horticultural Hall on Friday and Saturday, June 11 and 12. The awards will be announced at the close of the cooking school Ucture on Saturday, June 12, this particular session being given over to the girls who are members of tho cooking school classes. 8. The goods exhibited in the contest will be dispensed through various charitable organizations under the auspices of the Society for Organizing Charity. 0. The prizes will be as follows: For the first prize in each class, a modern Cabinet Gas Range valued at about $35. There will be at least a second and third prize and honorable mention in each of the four divisions. These prizes wilt bo announced later. schools. The principal value, of course, will be added Interest on tho part of the children. It will also give an Indication of the benefit children are deriving from the courses of Instruction. , There Is no branch of life so Important to mankind as the home. Fortunately, tho trend Is toward better homo conditions for all classes of people. Much energy Is being expended these days by public spirited Individuals, working separately and through organizations, toward this eijd. Laws are gradually being passed to enforce bettor housing conditions. Owners of tenements and small houses, such as tho poorer people must occupy, are now forced to build better, more airy and more sanitary habitations. They can no PRIZES FOR WINNING ENTRANTS IN EVENING LEDGER COOKING CONTEST Cabinet Gas Ranges, of the best make and valued at about SS5, all made 6y Philadelphia manufacturers, will be given as first prizes as follows: A $35 Quality Cabinet Gas Range, manufactured by fhe Roberts Man der Stove Company, for the best sponge cake. J. f35 Fortune Cabinet Gas Range, manufactured by the Thomas,' Rob erts, Stevenson Company, for the best bread. A f35 Cookeasv Cabinet Gas Range, manufactured by the Hale Kit burn Company, for the best cookies, A S30 Imperial Excelsior Cabinet Gas Range, manufactured by Isaac A. Bheppard d, Co., for the best biscuits. Other suitable prizes, to bn announced later, will be awarded. lonier crowd tenants Into buildings re gardtess of health conditions, room or give scant attention to comforts. Laws will be made more stringent In the future 2 We come to a fuller reallnUon of the importance of these laws to the future of our nation. The Interest of the public spirited, our public officials and others, however, Is Sot limited to housing. It extends to the Mtual living conditions of those who aro fortunate enough tq be beyond the need of help. This question of living conditions takes into consideration the regulation of foodstuffs which may be sold, and even coes so far as to lend suggestions aa to fhe propW preparation after such food stuffs reach the home. Tho effort to Influence the preparation of food Is probably the newest of all in fliicTneea now at work n the Interest of better neaUh. Its primary stage Is to be found in the public schools, where domes tk . silence Is Included In the courses of studT for Blrla of the seventh and eighth gradfs U might be said that girls are compelled to study domestlo science, the Science of properly preparing foods, since thty are compelled to attend school and the cooking course is part of the general plan of study. The result of this system WORK Is that tho heads of our future Philadel phia homes learn, at a much earlier age, tho essentials of cooking than did their own parents. This must greatly influence conditions In tho homes of tho future. An immedlato influence Is evident as the In structors of the public school cooking classes have received many Instances of schoolgirls having suggested to their mothers a mora approved method of baking and doing other cooking than had previously been In use. Tho Evenino Ledger, In conducting the coming cooking school and demonstration and prize contest, will combine the domes tlo science education of the children with object lessons for mothers. As previously announced. 11 days will be given to tho cooking school at Horticul tural Hall. All housewives should keep In mind that Mrs. Carroll will deliver a lec ture each afternoon and that nearly all of the sessions will be open to any one who is Interested. This arrangement means that thousands of housekeepers In the city will have an opportunity to hear Mrs. Carroll at some time during the It days. The public should clearly understand that the cooking school and demonstra tions for tho public and the cooking con test for girls of school cooking classes are separate events of the big domestlo science movement which the Evenino Ledoer Is promoting. The cooking contest Is being conducted In the Interest of the children who have shown such keen Interest in their cook ing courses during the school year. It Is Beldom that children have an op portunity to win, -by their own merit, such valuable prizes as the 35 cabinet gas ranges which are to be given In each of the four divisions of the contest, namely, one for bread baking, one for sponge cako baking, one for cooky bak ing and one for biscuit baking. The other feature, and tho one which will probably do the most Immediate good, !!! be l5 . coking school which will be conducted at Horticultural Hall each afternoon, Mrs. Carroll a now ar ranging a program for each day. This will be announced at the earliest possible date, before the end of thla week. The plan will be to leave nearly all of the meetings open to any one who desires to attend, giving up only two or three after noons to special classes, such as for self supporting working girls, for clubwomen and for women who work outside of their homes to support their families. The only other occasion when the admission will be limited will ba the closing afternoon. June 13, when the children of. (he cooking school classes will hear a special lecture by Mrs. CarroU and also hear the an nouncement of the successful contestants in each of the four classes, of the cooking school contest Many inquiries) about the cooking school contest are being received by the Contest Editor of the Evenino Ledger.
