In ah Interview today she said! "There Is an Impression among many housewives that the ovens of a gas rango can be used only for baking n cake or roasting meats. Most women do not reallto the great quantity of v6rk'that can be accomplished by utilizing both the broiling and the baking ovens at one and the same time. In speaking oh the food subject Of housekeeping, Mrs. Carroll will have many Interesting thlngB to say about marketing. She, will touch on the Illu sions regarding cheap cuts of meats, on the false Ideis of economy, on the proper manner of ordering by telephone and on the necessity of cooking by time. She will speak on means of obtaining em clency In the kitchen by establishing a standard to work by, on the advantages of the all-gas kitchen from the standpoint of economy of time, energy nnd money. Mrs. Carroll does not believe In set rules. 8he realizes that It Is often neces sary to adjust one's self to conditions. Her discussion of these various topics will be most valuable to those faithful women who give their most careful attention to the preparation of meals and to other household features 365 days of every year. The following menu will bo prepared by Mrs'. Carroll while delivering her lecture tomorrow: TUESDAY, JUNE 1. Broiled Steak and Mushrooms Btuffed Baked Potato Fresh String Beane Strawberry Shortcake Hot Milk Sponge Cake with Chocolate Icing. The teachers of various cooking schools throughout the city have taken a keen Interest In the courso of lecturos to be delivered between now and June 12. Many of the Instructors have commented upon the Influence these lectures are bound to have upon Philadelphia women, who aro considered the most careful and most efficient housewives to be boasted by any city in the world. "I am very much Interested to hear that the Eveni.vo Ledger Is conducting a cooking school," said Mrs. Hugh Munro, a cooking expert, of 1737 North 6th street, "for cooking Is the line In which my gifts seem to lie. I hold special cooking classes every Tuesday night In order to help young wives and girls who feel that they don't know enough about this most Im portant subject." Mrs. Munro Is a Scotch woman, pos- RULES GOVERNING EVENING LEDGER COOKING SCHOOL CONTEST FOR GIRLS 1.

She Is a philanthropist, In that she seeks no roward for the time and labor she expends In assisting others. "No. I should never dream of making a charge for my classes," she said In her delightful Scotch accent, which not even 25 years' residence In this country has been able to change. "When any one happenn to have soma gift then I firmly beltevo they should Use It as a means for helping to bring happiness to others. Cooking happens to be tho thing 1 can do beBt, and I know perfectly well that I ought to assist others to the same end. When I look about me and see some of the married unhapplness I know per fectly welt that the majority of It Is due to poor cooking on the part of the wife. "Just at first this seems a strange reason for married misery, but you know the old proverb that the 'way to a man's heart lies through his stomach.' There really Is lota of truth In that No man on earth likes to come homo at night to a badly cooked meal. And lots of men are forced to do so, poor souls. After a hard day's work, when they havo lots of little things to worry them and try them, they do have an Idea of returning to some quiet haven, where peace nnd comfort await them. But they find nothing of the sort. Often there Is more trouble In the home than even at business. They . will find an untidy, frowsy-headed wife, badly dressed, unat tractive. "Yes, I am convinced that women are largely responsible for all this drink and saloon trouble. If modern wives only tried to learn a little more about cooking and home comfort they would be success ful In keeping their husbands at homo Iti the evenings, and particularly away from the saloons. "It stands to reason that If a man Isn't going to have comfort In his own home, ho'll go where he can get it. Saloons are made very attractive, you know. Tho wife who realizes this fact has taken the first step toward reformation. For she will know perfectly well that she has something to compete with.

No recent event has stirred up so much activity and enthusiasm among school girls as the Evening I.CDasn's Cooking Bohool Contest. The contest Is tho principal topic of discussion nt all of the cooking school centres of tho city. Enthusiasm is funning high among the children and It seems now that tho en tries will run well Into tiie thousands. Many children, who have heard tbo Cooking Contest Editor of the Rvbnino Ledoeh, have shown exceptional eager ness to win one of the four prizes which Wilt be given In each of the four di visions. These children aro making elaborate and careful preparations to capture ft prize. They nre going about their arrangements with pride and de termination, nnd It can safely bo said that the nrlzes will he won by children who will take the contest In an entirely serious manner. SHOULD STUDr nUI,ES Children should keep In mind the reg ulations governing this contest. They are being printed dally In tho Evknwo I.EDdnn and circulars containing the rules nro being distributed to tho vari ous cooking schools of the city. An other feature of which children should not lose sight is the valuo of tho vari ous prizes In the four divisions of the contest. The announcement of the sec ond prizes In each division will be made tomorrow. A number of headB of Institutions that are devoting careful nttentlon to the do mestic science feature nre enthuslnstlo over tho contest. All feel that It Is a great stop toward Increasing Interest In this feature of tho education of Phila delphia girls. "Tho Evenino Ledger cooking contest Is a spjenclld Idea," said Miss Day, head of tho domestic science department at Temple College, "for every girl should know all the Ins and outs of cooking. So many girls fall adequately to realize the Immense vnlue a cooking course offers. It really doesn't matter what career a girl desires, the gentle art of cooking always proves useful. "It really Is essential that every girl know how to cook and prepare a meal. A lack of all cooking knowledge proves the undoing of mnny a marriage. Tho girl that enters matrimony ought to be prepared for It. It doesn't matter whether Bho Is to be rich or poor, for In any case she must know enough to be able to su pervise the work of her maids. No ser vant If left to herself can be relied on altogether to turn things out satisfac torily. "Tho Evenino LEDOEn cooking contest offers an Incentive to girls to show what they renlly can do In domestic science. Personally, I think competition Is excel lent. It gives a girl a chance to show her Bklll and It spurs her on to further efforts. "Cooking competitions always have many untrlei. I have never yet known one which was unsuccessful ns regards entries. And tno curious part Is that peo ple of overy age seem to wish to display their culinary skill, from tho tiniest girl, scarcely capable of boiling an egg, to vet erans who havo becen 70 years at tho game. COOKERY A GREAT GAME. "Cookery, after all. Is a great game, and an Intensely fascinating one, too. There Is poetry In cooking, romance In cookery, If people only had eyes to see It. Tho new Idea, which some people air, ns to domestic science being undignified Is the sheerest nonsense. I do not think thnt any branch of the arts Is finer than domestic science. It certainly calls forth all one's powers. Brains havo to be used In cooking Just as much and as often ns In any other art. Tho ignorant cook never will be a good cook. "I am looking forward to tho lectures of Mrs. Anna A. Carroll and to tho dem onstration:! of gas ranges. One always learns something new on these occasions, and when the lecturer Is as Interesting as Mis. Carroll always Is, then It is a pleasuro to attend. I congratulate the Evenino LErjcnsn on tho Idea It has taken up as to the holding of this cooking con test " STRAWBRIDOE & CLOTHIER TO MARK 47TII ANNIVERSARY Celebration Which Begins Tomorrow Will Last All Through June. Strawbridge & Clothier, beginning to morrow, will celebrate the 47th anniver sary of tho firm's establishment. The anniversary celebration will continue through the entire month of June and will bo conducted on a more compre hensive scale than any attempted In the past. The history of this famous firm dates back to 166S, when the foundation was laid by the partnership of Justice C. Strawbridge and Isaao H, Clothier. Six years before that date, in 1S62, Mr. Straw bridge had opened a store at 8th and Market streets, but it was not until 1S6S that the paitnershlp was established and tho present firm launched on Its Im portant career. When the two young Philadelphia mer chants placed the sign "Strawbridge & Clothier"' over the cioor of the estab lishment, the city's population was about eoo.000. It was the day of tha horse car, cobbled streets, and oil lamps, Today, with a population of more than 1,600,000, the city has undergone wonderful civic Improvement and mercantile and indus trial expansion, Throughout the whole period of development the name of Strawbridge & Clothier has been close ly identified wltn Philadelphia's progress, Throughout Its history the firm has al ways maintained a close relationship with the main body of Its employes. These now number MOO. It has given encour agement to every movement to enhance their happiness and promote their ad vancement. The Strawbridge & Cloth ier Relief Association and the Straw bridge and Clothier Saving Fund are among the pioneer organizations of their Jilnd In the country. The Education Department of the store, with Its continuation school system, is one of the most effective and efficient to be found In any corporation. All the Instruction la given during the working hours and In the firm's time. The stu dents number hundreds. In addition there J the Noon Day Club, an educa tional association; the Quarter Century Club, with 314 members, each In the em. ploy of the store at least SS years; the Athletlo Association, with a ??00,0 ath letic field within the city limits, and a pension fund for those who are Incapaci tated.

Samuel M, Knox, president of tho New York Shipbuilding Company, a survivor of tho Lusitania disaster, has reached his home, 310 WcBt Upsal street, German- town. He described the last moments of tho giant Cunarder with dramatic vivid ness. Many false Impressions are cor rected In his narrative and the only story of tho Cromptons Is pathetically told by him. He fitted a lifebelt on one of tho young Crompton girls Just before the ship took her final plunge, Mr. Crompton, ho Bays, was at the time fastening a pre server on one of the smallest of tho six children. Mr. Knox said that England la building battleships faster than Bhe Is losing them by German nnd Ottoman attacks. The prevailing notion thnt England's navy Is being slowly destroyed, he said, is false. England has now n many battleships as sho had at the outbreak of tho war. If not more. Submarines aro also being constructed with great rapidity. He said the English nre desirous of ob taining tho moral support of this county In the war. Physical support would, of course, be acceptable, but It Is not ex pected that this will bo given. PORT OF PHILADELPHIA Vessels Arriving Today Str.

Wonderful Italian Films The Foreign Film Compnny, of this city, haB Imported a number of Ambrosia atnlln.ii) films, which, when shown to tho public, nre likely to cause ecnsatlons. At a prlvato screening last Friday, the photoplay editor of tho KVRMNn LRnoen was nmnzed and delighted by tho ab solutely marvelous photography, tho re markable acting nnd the general high stnndard of these films. arimth's "Birth of a Nation" has been considered the last word In motion ple turo photography, but even so excellent a master as arlfllth has much to learn from "The Lady of the Dlaclc Castle," the first of the Ambrosia iltniH to be screened Friday. Such superlative pho tography Is a revelation. American camera men hnvo much to learn, when judged by the Ambrosia film. The foreign reels were not merely wonderfully clear and distinct they were artistic to tho highest degree. And one scene, repre senting a forest nt night, with a number of men with torches searching through the woods, wus such a delight to the eye that the hardened film exchange men present applauded. In so far as the acting Is concerned, American leading ladles had better tako a leaf out of the book of the young Italian girl who played the mysterious "Lady" of the castle. For looks, graco of movement nnd especially for pantomime, diiu i.i ngau nnu snoumcrs above nny American actress appearing on tho screen. Sho Is tho Aguglla of motion pictures. Another film shown depleted undersea life nt closo range. Tho Williamson sub marlno pictures, recently shown nt tho Garrlck Theatre, caused much comment, but they aro not in tho aamo class with tho Italian reels. Every fish, mollusc, crustacean everything that lives In tho sea Is shown with startling clearness and fidelity. Especially Interesting and amus ing Is a duel to tho death of two huge lobsters. They "shako hands" with their claws In tho most approved prize ring style, nnd then, feinting for nn opening, they spar, counter nnd eventually one gets a stranglo hold on Its opponent and tho fight Is ended. Taken nil In all these Ambrosia films aro truly wonderful they show such re markable Improvement over nil other films, that regret must bo expressed that the war has practically ended the Im portation of films from Italy. It will be two or more years before any more films can bo made and sent here. "Her Own Way" Globe Florence Iteed, whose work In the reg ular theatre the last season brought her forward prominently In tho principal part In "Tho Yellow Ticket," will be shown at tho Globe Theatre the first three days of this week In a screen production of Clyde Fitch's comedy-drama, "Her Own Way."

Rose Coghlan's View of the Photoplay One of the most remarkable women on the American stage today Is Rose Cogh lan, who will shortly be seen In Lubln's "The Sporting Duchess." Miss Coghlan played Lady Teazle In "The School for Scandal." the first nt. traction presented at Wallack's Theatre, in New York city. That was 30 years ago, and marked the opening of what was then America's most fashionable play house. Recently, this famous theatre closed its doors forever, and Miss Cogh lan had the honor of being tho last star to appear on the stage in the performance that closed Its history. When Interview, she was wearing the same gown used at the opening and at the closing of Wallack's Theatre, and it looked new enough to have Just come from the costumcrs, and the noted actress appears as fresh and Is just as active as when the costume was first used. Speaking of her picture play experience, In tho production of "Tho Sporting Duchess," she said: "Everybody at the Lubln studio was perfectly lovely to me, and while the work Is all so different to that on the singe, I enjoyed every minute of It, I think I surprised them Just a little bit, especially when the scenes were made In which the hunt takes place. Mr. O'Nell, who directed the picture, came to me and inquired If I would 'Just sit' on a horse and be photographed. When I told him I Intended to ride, he seemed worried about my personal welfare. I will confess that I half regretted this declaration for, I had not been on a horse's back for 25 years. However, I had made the bluff and I Intended to make good. The horses were brought around at 9 o'clock In the morning and until B that evening I was almost continuously in tha saddle. At 6 O'clock, I was in my bed and I stayed HERE Imperial Excelsior Gas Range "Made in Philadelphia" This is the range selected as one of the first prizes In the Evening Ledger's Cook ing Contest.
