THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE—FAIR AND INDUSTRIAL EDITION 1
Famous Steamship Chefs Are Artists
In Preparing Attractive Cold Buffets

*X*»\v York, Oct. 10.—The cooking coin- 1
petition recently started among the chefs |
of the steamships of the I’nited States
Lines, is progressing rapidly. These ex
perts in the art of satisfying the inner
man, are steadily striving to excel each
other in the preparation of meals for
their passengers. The contest, which
started between the chefs of the crack
liners (Jeorge Washington and America,
now takes in all the vessels of the Tint
ed States Lines fleet, and is consuming
the attention of all in the culinary'depart
ments, from the head cooks to the young
est of the pantry boys. These chefs go
Xaixdeon one better in paraphrasing his
famous saying that “an army travels on
its stomach." They declare that a sat
isfied steamship passenger is one whose
stomach is nourished with wholesome,
well-prepared foods, and accordingly are
doing their utmost to see that those
gastronomic affairs they have in hand
are served with the best dishes at their
command.
The standards of cooking prevailing on
the Tufted States Lines are declared by
experts on the question, to be the high
est in the world, and every chef on every
steamship of the line endeavors, and en
deavors successfully, to uphold this repu
tation.
•'Billy Lynn’* traveling supervising
steward of the Tinted States Lines, who
knows what good food is if ever a man
does, is of the very positive opinion that
despite the mighty efforts of the experi
enced chefs of the Tnited States Liners,
no one of them is superior to his fel
lows. “Billy,” who has traveled on ev
ery one of the ships from the mighty Le
viathan to the smaller boats in the fleet \
in the London trade, says that as the ,
result of the contest under way. the
standards of cooking on these vessels have
reached a |x>int which caunot be improv- 1
ed upon. He avers that a passenger on j
the George Washington might go aboard
the President Garfield, sit down in the l
dining room of the latter ship, and as I
far as the fond was concerned, feel that. 1

Who Will Assist With the
Farm Exhibits.
O. Max Gardner, of Shelby, one of the
State’s most prominent men, and a speak
er of unusual ability, has signified his
intention of attending the Cabarrus Coun
ty Fair when it opens on Tuesday, <)e
tober 18th. . This announcement was
made Friday by an official of the fair
who communicated with Mr. Gardner on
Thursday and who stated after the con
versation that Mr. Gardner would offi
cially accept the fair for the farm people
of Cabarrus, for whom the fair will be
given.
Mr. Gardner needs no introduction to
the people of Cabarrus County. He is
known throughout the State as one of
North Carolina’s ablest men, and he is
certain to be heard with keen interest
when he speaks on the opening day of
the fair. Mr. Gardner will speak at the
fair grounds immediately after the pa
rade reaches the grounds.
Major W. A. Foil, chief marshal of
the fuir, stated this morniug that he
talked with Governor Cameron Morrison
Thursday and that the Governor was pos
itive now that he would be able to be
here, for Friday of the fair, when Gov
ernor’s Day will be observed. Governor
Morrison will leave Concord Friday
night for Washington, where be will go
he was still on the larger vessel.
I Though the chefs on the Cnited States
’ liners have not been able to establish
any one of the steamships as being su
perior to the others in tile matter of ser
vice and cooking of food, they are not
disgruntled. In fact, they have started
another contest’ in connection with rhoir
art. Being convinced that they have
thoroughly satisfied the "inner man" of
their passengers, the chefs are now out
to delight tlie eye.
| There arc any number of pastries and
de-serfs as well as more substantial foods
which these past masters in the art of
cooking can serve in unique forms of
striking originality. Cold foods such as
roast hams, roast sides of be“f tongue
and lamb as prepared for a buffet by
these chefs, present a picture that would
arouse an appetite in. a man, who has al
ready had a full dinner. Pastries and
ices moulded into every conceivable form,
I are created by these master cooks for
I their passengers.

Major Foil also stated that he talked
with Governor McLeod, of South Caro

Executive of the Palmetto State will not
be able to be here for Governor's Day
unless present plans are changed. Gov
ernor McLeod at present intends to be
in Indiana on the day he was invited to
speak here, and he told Mr. Foil that
he could not come unless some important
business developed in the immediate fu
ture which would prevent him from mak
ing the trip to Indiana to attend a con
ference of Governors. In event the In

l f Making His
Get-a-Way
j t By MORRIS SCHULTZ
(©, 1923, .Westarn Nswspapsr Union.)
I T Uab’S GRIGGS, president of the
Ninth National bank, waa smiling
as he sped in his car along the pike
at four In the morning. He had al
ready put twenty-eight miles between
himself and Roycevllle, and had plenty
of time to catch the limited. *
In his suitcase he had a hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, which he
had abstracted from the bank vaults.
There had been not the slightest diffi
culty about it. He had sent the watch
man away on some well-reasoned er
rand, had abstracted the money, and
walked out. The theft would not be
discovered until eight o’clock. Plenty
tfl time! Oh, plenty of time!
1 ' He was thinking of the little para
dise he had planned for himself In
Europe. At the same time he knew
lha,t if he had the chance, he would
replace- the money and go back to
Roycevllle.
But that was impossible, for he could
not send old Martin away again, at
five In the morning.
Five o’clock —six. It was growing
light. Griggs was heading for a moun
tainous district, beyond which lay the
large town where he meant to catch
the train. He saw another car ap
proaching the single road from the
Roycevllle direction. The two roads
Joined into one that went straight
through the pass.
And as he watched It a singular fear
began to come over him that this car
was in pursuit of him.
It was a foolish idea, only it was go
ing at such a rate—and why should
nnyone be traveling from Roycevllle
at that hour of the morning.
Moreover, it looked to Griggs as If
the two cars would reach the fork of
the two roads simultaneously.
Making his calculations, Griggs
slowed down. He wanted the other
car to get ahead of him. Then he
would be able to shake off that absurd
fear of his.
To his dismay the other car began to
slow down perceptibly, too. There
upon Griggs threw on speed. The
other car slowed down still more.
Griggs became frantic. It was evi
dent now that the other car was in
pursuit of him and wanted him to be
first at the pass. He slowed down
still more, and the other car, after
making transparent efforts to ma
neuver, threw in a burst of speed.
The result of all this maneuvering
was that the two cars seemed likely to
reach the pass together. Griggs began
to crawl. He was willing to face his
"pursuers If necessary, but he was not
going to get ahead of them and be at
their mercy.
He saw red. He was desperate,
frenzied. He no tymger cared what
happened. He saw his little paradise
melting away. Why had he been such
a fool as to steal the money?
He would have given all the world
If he could have been happily back
In his home in Roycevllle as on the
evening before.
The second car was rapidly approach
ing the fork of the roads. After a
moment’s Indecision It suddenly made
a spurt, reached the Intersection of the
two roads, and stopped. Griggs saw
the two detectives In It, and he no
longer doubted.
And, filled with madness, he made
a wild dash toward It. He saw the
two men stand up, heard cries of alarm,
saw their futile effort te draw out
of the way, and then, with a shout of
triumph, he had driven hit machine
full into It.
’There was a smashing and splinter
ing of chassis and tonneau. Griggs
was whirled high into the air. Yet
even In that last desperate moment
he waa aware of a third car With twp
men seated In It, approaching at a
wild speed along the road behind him.
He opened hte eyes to find himself
looking at the Inferior decorations of
his bedroom. At first the events of
the night seemed csfiy Ike a wild
dream. Then he idhimubimd.
He groaned. Os course they had
brought him te Ids home, under guard.
He was bftng healed, fe stand his trial.
He was rained, disgraced, and the pen- i
ltentlary loomed before -him. j
The nurse was bending over him.
"Hush ! You mtato*t try to talk. You <
are toe brave a man to imperil yodr i
recovery.” , (
“You must tell me. ...” 9
He listened Incredulously te her
story of the bank robbers who had
blown the empty safe after hie de- -
parture and fled in their car, of his
own heroic act in sending. Martin swap
because ,he suspected, of Ms pursuit
and capture of the robbers and the
money single-handed. i
He sank bade tremulously on the
pillow. The Utde paradise was hen.
