FRENCH COOKS LIABLE FOR SPOILED DINNER: PARIS, Jan. 19—Cooks who spoil food in France are liable t. damages, a French Court has ruled. Not ouly must they pay for the rumed materials, but, alsd, for th- damaged feelings and public hu miliation of the host. This lega” interpretation of a cook's respen sibility follows the historic exam ple of M. Vatel, took of King Louis IV, who, in 1671, killed himself by leaping on his sword when he realized that the fisi he had*served the French mon arch was cooked bndly , througi his negligence. It took the promiment crimina lawyer, M. Alexander Zeaves, ' t¢ have this principle of jmmv dence established in law.. He woi his suit against a neighborhoo. pm cook‘ The lawyer that in burning a hare pie, the cook had caused his dinner party to be “a terrible failure.” Recently Zeaves had a gathor- ing of distinguished theatrical people at his table ready for u helping of game 'pie, which %e had announced as something very unysual, prepared from an ancient | recipe. This cook suddenly came into the dining room, pale and ex cited and whispered the bad news. Zeaves swore vengeance and sought redress in Court. The pasiry cook’s only defense was | ‘accidents -will happen.” The Court, however, ordered im to replace the cracked crock, oay for the game, and, most im- portant of all, soothe the host's feelings and salve his wounded | mbymm:o“fima ) for damages rinjuring ‘host’s reputation, - |Arab Peasants Killed; i Objected to Taxation BASRA, Irak, Jan. 19—In a | peasant uprising at Khuzistan, : Southwest Persia, six participants were killed by troops.
