Seeretary FOOD LESSON NO. 1 Marvelous Quality of Milk Used in GOOD LUCK On the famous Jelke dairy farm near Dundee, 111, in the beautiful Fox River Valley —the most famed dairy district in the world —is a herd of pure bred, pedi- greed Holstein cows. Holstein cows are the best milk producers in the bovine world, and these cows are aristocrats of their kind. Scientific methods of feeding, modern dairy equipment and all the arts of the modern milk pro- ducer unite te make their milk of perfect quality. It is milk from these cows and from similar herds on adjoin- ing farms, for which the Jelke Dairy Farm serves as a model, that forms the largest portion of the most remarkable food product on the market today— Jelke GOOD LUCK. It is because of the purity—the care taken in the selection of its nutritious ingredients and the delicious flavor that you should “ JELKE GOOD LUCK MARGARINE The Finest Spread for Bread FOR SALE BY RETAIL DEALERS WHOLESALE DISTRIBUTOR Potomac Batter Co. 307 13th Street N.W. ‘Washington, D.

Keller, The Star’s City Editor, Addresses Journalism Class. Charles D. Keller, city editor of The Star, told how the reports of the Knickerbocker Theater disaster were handled, in an address before the class in journalism at George Wash- ington Universiy, yesterday after- noon. He described the successive steps that were taken in rapidly or- ganizing the staff of The Star to meet the unusual requirements and to obtain complete and accurate in- formation concerning every phase of the disaster. It was shown thut the newspaper men in reality had an important share in the work of rescue and identification. Mr. Keler told of the utilization, in a great emergency, of the services of employes in various departments of a newspaper, in relieving the report- ers of some of the routine tasks while they gave their attention to the more important phases of news gathering. He also spoke of the newspaper of- fice as a central point from which information was given to rela:ives or friends of those who werte believed to have been victims of the disaster. The difficulty presented by the ne- cessity of working under severe weather conditions also was shown. At the close of his talk Mr. Keller answered numerous questions asked by members of the class. —_—— DOG AT THEATER TRAGEDY After Crash—Owner Is Sought. Mrs. A. Jorgensen of the Monmouth apartment, 1819 G has in h possession a dog which followed her home from the scene of the Knicker- Theater disaster Saturday night. ‘The dog, aecording to Mrs. Jorgensen, resembles a Belgian police dog. It i about the size of a collie, she says, has sharp pointed ears, four white feet, brown in color, with a black streak along_its back, running into the tail. A collar is on the neck of the animal, but there is no mark either to indicate its name or its ownership. Mrs. Jorgensen believes the animal was left in the machine of one of the victims_of the accident and that it followed her home through hunger. Good_care is being taken of the dog, and Mrs. Jorgensen is anxious to see that it is returned to the owner. In- formation concerning the animal may be obtained by telephoning Franklin 5630.

Navy Wireless Conveys Condol- ences on Knickerbocker Tragedy. The District Commissioners have re- ceived expressions of regrets and condolence over the Knickerbocker tragedy from far-away Turkey. They were contained in a Navy wireless message signed by Mark L. Bristol and are as follows: “The naval detachment in Turkish waters and Americans in Constanti- nople send their deepest sympathy and condolende to the people of Washington in the sad tragedy at the Knickerbocker.” AMONG FIRST AT CRASH. Mrs. A. K. Capron Volunteered as Nurse and Worked Through Night Mrs. A. K. Capron was one of the first volunteer nurses on the scene after the collapse of the Knicker- bocker roof. She lives at Chatham Courts and when some one called in that apartment for doctors, volun- teers and nurses, she at once offered her service. She was sent by a po- liceman to the Jewish Club, Columbi road near 18th street, who provided She attended her with restoratives. one cace and was then sent to the Christian Science Church. Mrs. Capron assisted in identifying the dead and injured and served under WASHINGTON BUILDING METHODS CRITICISED Plea Made That Public Structures to Shelter Hundreds of People Be Built Doubly Strong. To the Editor of The 8 I note that Building Inspector Healy states that the recent catastro- phe at the Knickerbocker Theater, where many lives were lost and many eople maimed, was nothing more or ess than the hand of God. Does any one doubt this? But there is always 2 natural explanation applied to the aterial things that happen on this h, d to the writer's mind the fon 1s that God permitted such a thing to happen so that the poor construction ti is done in the city of Washington might be cor- rected. Verbal protests have done no good and it is time that the poor material and poor construction should give us pause. I moved to Washington twenty years ago from a western city and was amazed at the houses: offered me for purchase by real estate dealers, as [ had never before seen such bulld- ing. In the attics, or semi attics, and in the basements the bricks did not seem to be laid, but were literally thrown together and the chunks of mortar were almost the size ol the bricks. A place of abode should be safe tb protect life and a theater or public bullding that is intended to shelter hundreds and metimes thousands, of human beings should not only be built strong, but doubly, nay, trebly, strong. Protectors of familles, mothers of children and the little children them- selves should not be gathered en masse in a weak, shackling struc- ture, else there will be a repetition of this recent horror, and another most important thing to remember is that the elements and nature can- not ba counted upon: A weak plea, indeed, is the remark so often heard, that Washington s not subject to such storms as the one we have just ad. That y be so, but, again, it can be stated that we may have an- other storm that is worse tomorrow —we may have a cyclone or an earth- quake—so let the builders, architects and contractors go as far possible with safety—good material and fine workmanship—and then there will be less cause for investigations and. fewer grief-stricken homes.
