Mr. Brunner, a nativ of New York City, who died in 1925 at the age of 68 years, was an international figure In the fine arts.

His design for the Department of State In Washington, was chosen in 1910 when the LEnfant Plan was considered by the Federal authorities. He laid out plans for Baltimore, Rochester, Denver, Albany, Cleveland and Toledo, and acted rs counsel to other American municipalities. Plans of the leading cities throughout tha United States and portrayals of nationally known building? and inrtltutions are included in the er'ibit. A staunch believer in the prin ciple of collaboration in the arts of design, now being fostered by the committee on allied arts of the American Institute of Architects, of which he was a Fellow, Mr. Brunner, it was pointed out.

recognized sculpture as a decorative essential of his buildings. The Cleveland post office is a striking example of this tendency. Many Fine Buildings The New York. of to day bears pn every side evidence, in the. CoorJer Unioncollection, of Mr.

Brunner's influence. Structures and plans pictured in the Cooper Union exhibit are the Stadium of the College of the City of New York; Cadet Hospital at West Point, Denison University, Granville, Ohio; the Capitol Park at Harrisburg, including a design for a monumental Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Bridge.

Mr. Brunner was a member of the New York Board of Education In 1902, and as a representative of the arts was a pioneer in active public service in this field. The present ac tivity of the New York Chapter of the American Institute, of Architects in the school building situation Illustrates, architects said, the con tinuity of the Brunner tradition. Mr.

Cooking Recreation Office Girls, Barbara Finds School By BARBARA RAY Grandmother, Yesteryear made "a visit last night that had her eyes fairly "popping out" with incredulity. The night school in the cooking department of Edison 'Junior High School was the object of her attention, or more directly, the students of. that school. Observing closely she found that at least three quarters of those young women learning the arts of the 'kitchen were her bobbed flapper grandchildren. Young, pretty girls, bound to be attractive to the men, and yet spending their evenings learning the drudgeries (as some think) of house work.

Had she really been misjudging them, saying they were good for nothing except as artists with the cosmetic brush perhaps even smoking cigafets? Want Homes No, Grandmother the majority of your modern flappers have just the same wholesome, inherent qualities, that', you had in, your They have the maternal Instinct, they want a home, they actually like'the drudgeries of housework, and especially, cooking. If you were to make a survey as I have done, you wilt find that more than one half of the office flappers of to day prepare the food for their own parties, dinners and luncheons and like doing it Likes to' 'Cook ir One charming little miss said in answer to my inquiry, "Say, I look forward tot the tine when my mother, goes out, and it falls to my lot to prepare the I don't think I should ever get tired of cooking:" Methodists. It proved to me that people at a dry dinner could be hilarious and jovial, and that all prohibitionists were not long Orders a fine testimony from our capable and deservedly popular mayor, whom I am proud to call my friend. The mayor is to address the Methodist Preachers' meeting on March 5, when Bishop Wilson will introduce him.

Chicago, Jan. 30. The, "kidnaping" system of bank used for the third time within a month in Chicago, to day netted its practitioners $35,000.

James Dillon, teller of the Industrial State Bank of Chicago, told police that he was held a prisoner in the bank all night while his four captors waited for the time lock in the bank vault to open at 7 a. m. The quartet escaped after, looting the vault, leaving the cashier bound and tagged. Threatened With Death Dillon, 26 years old, said he was kidnaped while returning from church at noon yesterday by two men Who forced him into ah automobile, threatening to shoot him if he made an outcry. He said he was taken to a small gai ge and kept for six hours, then was forced to call his landlady and inform her that he would be out for the evening playing cards after which he va taken to an apartment and finally to the bank which he was forced to open at 6.30 o'clock last night.x He was taken inside and a Negro porter was seized, the robbers standing watch over the couple until the time lock was released.

The robbers bound their victims before leaving but Dlllo. crawled to a telephone and knocked the lecelver 1 from the hook which resulted in the police being notmea. Another replied, "I should say I do like to cook, and especially salads, I have1 about' fifty in my repertoire now, and I am adding to them every Cooking is a wonderful diversion from' office work." Miss Anna May "Bender, in charge of the Edison School and Mrs. Tessie Harman, in charge of the night classes at the old Central High School are con stantly besieged for suggestions for dinner menus and party suppers by office girls. Cooking Recreation Miss Bender explains the interest in her classes by three reasons.

The girls find cooking a pleasant recreation, or they are engaged and ex pect to need the knowledge', or they are sensible enough to know that it is. well for every woman to' have1 a knowledge of household arts. "Many girls," says Miss Bender, "have missed home economics, in their school curriculum, as It is only recently that. that department has been added, and want to make up for It now. The1 materials cost 50 Cents per night and an enrollment fee of $1 Uncharged, which is refunded after the student has attended three quarters of the course.

Trying to Keep Thin According to Miss Helen Jacob sen, of the Daily News Cooking and Homemaklng School, trying to keep thin has been an incentive to manv girls to learn more mbout foods and the ways or preparing them. "We hear a lot 'about calories now, that girls, did not pay any attention to until they found they must watch those units to keep down their weight. True, there must be a method' in all madness.
