ME OF DRINKIIIS MIUC
Impress, Century Ago, Forbade
"Robbing Calves of Food."
*
Washington. ? A hundred years er
More ago the empress of China, by Im
perial edict, declared it selfish 'for hu
man beings to drink cows' milk. The
august old ladjr thought it deprived
eaivee of their natural food. Thus
without knowing it, perhaps, she cre
sted a dietary regime for Chinese
children from which they are only now
about to be released.
About a decade ago the Chinese be
gan to take notice of the use of milk
by missionaries and, in the vicinity of
the mission stations, began usiog their
own cows and water buffalo as food
sources. Once started on a milk diet,
the trend has been growing by leap*
and bounds./ Importations of condensed
milk, milk powders and the sale of ice
cream in the foreign cblonles of the
large cities have" turned the attention
ef the Chinese to milk drinking habits
sad they have now begun to study the
benefits that might come to their chil
tdren if the old empress had not issued
the edict.
America with its billions of dollars
invested In dairy .cattle and products
and machinery factories is looking to
* Ctilna as a big outlet, and its hopes are
about to be realised, according to the
World's Dairy Congress association. A
type of letter being received from the
Far East by the association has just
arrived from Ellwood Varney, an
American, milk expert of the Liberty
dairy at Shanghai.
'There is no better opportunity in
the world, than right here In China,"
writes Mr. Varney in a plea for aid in
getting American dairy school men to
the Orient. "The kind of men wanted
are the sort who are as much interest
ed In the future of dairying as they
are in fattening their own pocketbooks.
We do not want *he self-seeker. We
want the doer and the giver and he
will find himself richly rewarded."
Mr. Varney's chief, Mr. Tee, owner
of the Liberty dairy at Shanghai, a
Cornell university graduate, is going to
attend the World Dairy congress In
Washington in October. He is going
to take back to China with him a large
number of purebred dairy cattle to es
tablish breeding stations similar to the
horse-breeding stations established in
the United States by the government.
German Called "Swine"
Is Told He Is Lucky
Berlin. ? It Is no crime here to call a
German a "swine," however touchy
Hans, in other places, may feel about
the epithet. A local court has just
decided that the appellation is not
even offensive ? in a legal t?ense.
A Berlin police official recently wa?
transferred to Munich. He wasn't very
popular in Berlin, and the Zedtung
und Mittag, in reporting the transfer
declared "Henceforth Munich will havt
the swine."
The police official, oddly enough, ,
felt aggrieved. He sued both the |
writer of the article and the editor of :
the paper. Both insisted that the
term "to have swine" meant luck.
The judge ruled that no offense was
Intended. There is no record that
Munich considers herself in luck, but
the police official Is said to feel he la
out of luck.
