Miss Brandenburg*s
Work is Described
The Independent takes pleasure in
reproducing, in part, an article which
appeared recently in the Baltimore
Evening Sun. It tells of the work of
a former Newport girl, Miss Ray
Brandenburg, who has many friends
here who will read the article with in
terest.
The clipping follows:
Talk about mother’s cooking!
Mother, who immortalized herself by
catering (with the aid of hired help)
for one husband, 12 children and oc
casional harvest hands! Why, Moth
er of Yesterday isn’t in it with her
daughter of Today, who in this city
of Baltimore and in this year of
grace l£)ld, has broken feminine cul
inary records by providing 1,000 per
sons with well-cooked meals in a
single day.
It was on April (5th, that great day
when the soldier boys came from
Camp Meade and President Wilson
reviewed the troops and addressed
the troopers, that Miss Ray Bran
denburg, formerly of Arkansas and
now of Baltimore, accomplished this
domestic triumph and certainly won
her shoulder straps as a patriotic
A.merican citizen.
The man or woman who faithfully
serves a community in any capacity
during the present war crisis serves
the nation, and that is why Miss
Brandenburg, who is directing head
of the cafeteria of the Young Wom
en’s Christian Association, may well
be regarded as one of the patriotic
citizens of Maryland as well as the
woman who introduced to working
women of Baltimore the cheapest and
most satisfying method of being pro
vided wdth meals at a cctnmunity
dining-room.
The women of America are called
to patriotic service as the second line
of national defense, and by thousands
they have stepped out from the shel
tered portals of home to assume the
professional, commercial and indus
trial duties temporarily laid down by
those who man ships and shoulder
bayonets. Out from the homes the
army of American womanhood has
gathered, but who has thought how
this woman’s army, those not offi
cially connected with military hos
pital service, is to be fed? Truth
to tell, a good many of t*hem are
working pathetically underfed. Na
tional health and efficient physical
and mental work on the part of a
people is absolutely dependent upon
nutritous food, and now that the high
trices of foods and the scarcity of
..ousehold service makes the individ
ual table almost an impossibility to
those working on small salaries. Miss
Brandenburg’s experiment of the
community assembling of women for
meals that are well cooked, well sea
soned and sufficient in ;the amount of
food served, for less money than it
would cost to prepare the same at
i heme, is distinctly in the line of pa
triotic service.
It was April 1, 1917—April Fool’s
Day—that the cafeteria of the
Young Women’s * Christian Associa
tion opened its doors, but it was no
fool who opened and is still intelli
gently guarding them. Introduced
casually in the street to Miss Bran
denburg, the person meeting her
might suppose that here was a dain
ty, almost a Dresden china bit of
womanhood, whose objective point
| was possibly an afternoon concert.
So slim she is, so low of voice, so
quiet of movement, also ssi carefree
of countenance. She does not at all
have the “won*ied look” one has come
in late years, to associate witfi do
mestic cares. "
Doubtless Miss Brandenburg is a
finished cook—quite the peer of
Mother-of-the-golden halo, but she
is also a successfud organizer and
administrator—one directing a gi
gantic household upon new and scien
tific methods and accomplishing old
time home results by twentieth-cen
tury methods and adapted to war
time needs. Miss Brandenburg
brought to her war work—for it is
emphatically war work—training and
experience.
Born in Newport, Arkansas, she
studied dietetics at the State Normal
school of Oklahoma and afterwards
took charge of a cafeteria at Okla
homa City. From there she went to
the National Training School of the
Young Women’s Christian Associa
tion in New York city and at the
time of the Panama-Pacific Exposi
tion, took charge of a cafeteria at
Oakland, California. Later she came
to Baltimore, and for two years had
charge of the Girls’ Recreation
Grounds near Walbro’ok. From this
she went to Galveston, Texas, and
then returned to Baltimore to enter
upon her present work.
When Miss Brandenburg suggest
ed this kind of dining room in rela
tion to the Young Women’s Christian
Association in Baltimore it was not
thought feasible. Baltimore women
were always accustomed to service
with their meals, was the objection
raised, but the objectors did not reck
on with three things: the abnormal
j
I cost of foods and limited supply of
| service in homes, the number of wo
| men entering upon industrial pur
j suits and war work and their press-1
l ing limit of time and the military
I hour. If Maryland men could be |
! served their food in military fashion j
at training camps, Maryland women
could be content with the same dem
ocratic measure of self-service.
So the cafeteria for wage-earning
women was opened and the women
promptly fell into line, mentally and
, physically, and availed themselves of
the opportunities offered. Three
hundred were served the first day
and the average now is 900 meals a
day with the average sum spent for
the meal, 25 cents. The prices
charged for the foods would be cheap
for the raw materials if cooked at
home, yet the director is even now
planning to make lower special rates
for girls whose salaries do not meas
ure up to a specified sum. There is
always a flower on the simple mis
sion table that gives a homelike as
pect to the dining-room. Soldiers
and sailors have found their way
thither and have not been refused
'hospitality and at each luncheon
about 25 men wearing khaki uni
forms are served and the same av
erage number at dinner.
Uncle Sam’s Jackies, also, have oc
casion to remember Mother’s Twen
tieth Century Daughter’s cooking,
for not long since 80 of them landed
in Baltimore on a Sunday afternoon
and knew not where to get a dinner.
The Young Men’s Christian Associa
tion telephoned to their feminine
neighbor to know if Miss Branden
burg could rise to the occasion.. She
could, and she did, and at the end of
the repast, lusty but no longer hun
gry") 80 sailors in United States uni
form gave three rousing cheers for
their hostess.
“I feel as though I am leaving
home,” said one soldier who had of
ten dined at the cafeteria when bid
ding good-by to the director, and an
other man asked:
“Do you want to know why I come
here for meals? It is not wholly be
cause the meals are good but because I
I like the little flower.”
Yes, somehow it is a woman’s way j
to add a flower to utilitarian duties !
all through life. Mother used to add!
a smile to the meal she served. Her!
twentieth century daughter trans- ■
forms her smile into a flower. '

In asking the people to Invest in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, the
government is not asking them to
on a paying basis^
Do not forget that War Savings
Stamps are not for children only
Most of the squandering is done by
the grown-ups^
The more you help the men at the
front the quicker the end will come.
You can at least be in the second
line of defense—be a war saver.
