A Hint From the Chinese Cook
ONE sometimes wonders when
walking* cown the streets
of a large city just what
would happen if a±i the Chinese
cooks were called hack to China
and all the Chinese restaurants
were closed. At present their num
bers seem endless, and it goes
without saying that their methods
have affected American ideas in
cookery. Women who employ
Chinese cooks in their homes say!
that they display a wonderful
earnestness and adaptability to
their work. Tet when they make
a distinctively French or Ameri
can dish it never seems quite
French or American; it has the
Chinese touch somewhere about it, i
and occasionally this difference is
an improvement. As *foi ttie purely
Chinese dishes, they have come
without doubt to stay. Who, having
once tasted a we 1-nrde Chow
Mein or Chop Suey, would be will
ing to emit tk 3 occasional appear
ance of these in their dietary ;
Adapting Chinese dishes to
Americ.n appetites has been am
admirable achievement. One of
the mcc .is these Oriental cooks \
have used to J is end is the r»i.:s-1
apple, a fruit much favored by
Americans. lor instance, i:i thei

The Parson Urged Col ony To Emulate
Noah; They Did But Ark Failed Them
Memphis, May 14—Exhorted l*y
their parson, a community of ne
groes in the lowlands near Park
ins, Ark., emulated the example of
Noah when they heard the flood
was approaching and hastily built
themselves an ark.
Into the crude vessel they crowd
ed themselves and all their worldly
belcr } ngs, including chickens,
dogs, cats and two mules. While
thus for the Hood, they
spoons Shoyu Sauce, -,2 green pep
per thinly sliced, 1 teaspoon corn
starch mixed with 2 tablespoons
cold water, and lastly V 2 cup sliced
Hawaiian pineapple cut in small
pieces. Bring to boiling-point and
let simmer 3 minutes. Serve with
plain boiled rice.
ORIENTAL CHICKEN AND
PINEAPPLE: Heat 1 cup drained
i crushed Hawaiian pineapple in 4
tablespoons hot butter. Blend
smoothly into this 6 tablespoons
flour. Add IV2 cams chicken stock.
Season with salt and pepper. Stir
until boiling and thickened, then
add 3 cups diced cooked chicken.
When very hot pour on platter
: garnished with toast. Sprinkle
with sadted almonds.
Professionals in domestic sci
ence have for several years experi
mented v'th pineapple in combi
ration with other foods and have
found among oilier things that
pineapple helps to bring out the
delicate, easily elusive flavor of
; eggplant, whether baked or stuffed;
| that it counteracts the mealiness
; cf sweet potatoes; that it is exccl
| lent as an ingredient in stuffing
for so l, firh, or even tomato: and
that it provides a desirable tart
ir-e:-:s with starchy fo-ds as
| rice . ar.i tapicca. Ti e 1 ’.lowing
(reeves illustrate some of these in
teresting combins lions.
FAKED EGGP .ANT: Pare an
egr-pla it, cut in slices crossv. ise and
j cook in salted wad r until tender.
’Drain and mash. ? d 1 cup butter,
j 1 .1 cup sia’e breadcrumbs, 2 well
jI: jaten eggs, salt rr.d peeper to

pineapple, bill individual mould;
sprinkle with buttered crumbs md
bake in hM o'en 15 minutes,
w’* ’• V.
J .... . •
pent the time in prayer and re
joicing, led by the parson in spirit
ed revival services.
The flood came, but the ark was
not floated. Water poured in from
leaks in the uncaulked hull and
with the flood a foot and a half
deep on the floor of the flat bot
tomed craft, the unfaithful ones
evacuated to a nearby railway em
bankment. From this refuge they
exhorted the remainder to flee.
STUFFED EGGPLANT WITH
PINEAPPLE: Cook eggplant in
boiling salted water for 15 minutes.
Cut slice from top and with spoon
remove pulp, taking care not to
work too closely to the skin. Chop
pulp and add 1 cup breadcrumbs,
% cup crushed Hawaiian pine
apple, 2 tablespoons butter, Vs tea
spoon grated nutmeg, and a beaten
egg with enough cream or milk
to make a good stuffing consist
ency. Season with salt and pep
per, and s ir. Refill eggplant, cover
with buttered cfv.mbs and bake 25
minutes in hot oven.
SCALLOPED SWEET POTA
TOES: Put in 4 alternate layers,
2 cups cold boiled sweet potatoes
cut in Vi inch slices, and IV2 cups
crushed Hawaiian pineapple.
Sprinkle each layer with salt,
brown sugar, and dots of butter,
amounting in all to V 2 cup brown
sugar, 1 teaspoon sr.lt, 4 table
spoons butter.
STUFFED SWEET POTATOES:
Bake 6 even-sized sweet potatoes,
cut in halves lengthwise and scoop
out most of the contents. Mash,
and season with 2 tablespoons
butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and Vz cup
well-drained crushed Hawaiian
pineapple. Bot in V\ cup chopped
nuts and fill the potato shells. Put
2 marshmallows on top of each
filled shell and brown under the
broiler flame.
TOMATOES WIT II PINE
APPLE DRESSING: Scoop the
centers from 6 tomatoes. To make
the dressing chop 0 slices of fried
bacon, 1 or.ion, the tomato centers,
ard add to 2 cups crushed Hawaiian
pineapple, enough breadcrumbs
f make the rmht amount to fill
the tomatoes. Cover with crumbs
r.rd gr-ted cheese and bake in hot
era 23 minutes.
Finally all were safe on the em
bankment, where the colony took
up abode in a string of box cars.
Confirmation of the building of
the ark and its failure to breast
the flood came to Red Cross
headquarters from relief work
ers in the field, said Earl Kel
patrick, assistant director of dis
aster relief, in charge of the ter
ritory.
Most men are quick to embrace
an opportunity—when it’s wearing
frills.

MORE MUSIC,BETTER GRADES
WASHINGTON SCHOOL FINDS
More music, better grades—is
the way they do it in the high
schools of the nation’s capitol, re
ports the Conn Music Center, work
ing in the interests of a more musi
cal America. Students in the
Washington, (D. C.) high schools
taking instrumental music rank
2.1 percent more in their studios
than the boys and girls who do
not.
There are five high schools in
Washington. Four' of them—Mc-
Kinley Technical, Eastern, West
ern ar.d Business High school—
were used as the basis of an in- j
vestigation made by Dr. Edwin N.
C. Barnes, director of music educa- j
Ton in the Washington public j
schools. The survey was based on i
the reports of the two senior class- ,
s in those schools and is described j
n detail in Dr. Barnes’ new book, i
‘Music an Educational and social j
ss ?t,” just published by the,
Theodore Presser Company of Phil-1
adelphia.
It was found that no less than ;
16 per cent cf these senior students I
were studying some musical instru
ment or had been studying i.
.vithin the past three years. They
ad each had on an average, 108.8 j
lessons on the instrument of their j
choice, and had carried this extra
work in addition to the regularly |
prescribed high school subjects,
instead of tending to lower their !
grades as a distraction, the grades
.i the fiddlers and saxaphone play
ts were appreciably higher, rang- |
ng from 1.3 points to 4.5 points !
above those of the students who j
aad not carried this additional
work. The n£t gain in academic
performance was 2.1 percent.
TEMPERANCE.
Jack and His Hard Lump.
“Halloo, Jack: Won’t you have
a glass this cold morning?” cried
a bloated-looking saloon-keeper to
a sailer, who was quickly stepping
along the road. Jack had formerly
been a hard drinker, and had spent
qjany a week’s wages in the saloon •
he was now passing, but about a
year ago he had signed the pledge.
“No! I can’t drink; I’ve got a
hard lump at my side,” As the
sailor said these words he pressed
his hand against his side, adding,
“Oh, this hard lump!”
“It’s all through leaving off
grog,” replied the salcon-keeper; j
some good drink will take your
lump away. If you are fool j
enough to keep from your grog,
your lump will get bigger, and very
likely you’d be having a hard lump
at your other side.”
“True! true! old boy,” with a
hearty laugh, responded the sailor,
as he drew out a bag of gold from
his side pocket, and held it up to
the saloon-keeper’s gaze. ‘Here’s
my hard lump. You are right in
saying that if I drink, my lump will
go away, ar.d if I stick to teetotal I
shall have a bigger lump. Good
bye to you. By God’s help I’ll kepe
jut of ycur net, and try to get a
lump at both sides!”
THE PRICE OF BEAUTY
(By Frank L. Alderman)
I cannot know the sunset as I knew
it
When fields gave forth their mel
low husk,
I cannot touch a star’s soft velvet
ear-drops,
Nor hear the sky’s low music in
the dusk.
Oh, there were days, blest,'full of
wonderment,
Strangely sweet because of one
who came
And stayed so short a while, but
understood,
And called each day of loveliness
by name.
You were a great hope flaming in
the darkness,
With torch that never knew the
feel of rain;
And by those lights I saw the
moon’s round glory
And by this light I found the roads
to pain!
But who can pluck a rose and keep
it always
And never feel a thorn or tate of
Fear . . ?
For every gift I have that’s bless
ed with Beauty,
Has hurt me very much .... and
cost a tear!
