...only near solution to the problem is that discovered by Detroit. There some philanthropist has established a "Penny Cafeteria," a restaurant which sells food at the price of one cent a dish. The place is clean and respectable, and it differs from soup kitchen in that those who patronize it suffer no more in morale than the patrons of the Georgian restaurant or the University dining halls.

There is also a great demand for waffles; eggs are seldom ordered. Ginger ale runs a poor second to milk as a favorite drink, while coffee...
...restaurant is run on a non-profit basis, although last year it managed to pay its way. Having already proved itself so popular, the night lunch will continue to run, whether at a profit or loss.
