Correspondence of The Star and the Chicage Daily PARIS, January 26.—The most re- fined palates of France are in a quan- dary. They have not been able to select this year's cook-laureate and bestow on him the much-coveted title of “best cook in France,” Recently a competition, was held. A jury of six Parisians of well established gastro- nomic fame examined 18 candidates who competed for the title of cook- laureate. The tasks given to these candidates were twofold. They had to prépare a cold dish, a “pate de fole gras,” in a handmade crust, and a hot dish chosen by the jury while they were eating the first dish. When the jury met 18 plates were brought in by the competitors. The head walter cut the golden crusts, and the jury devoutly began eating the con- tents after having solemnly an- nounced the theme for the hot dish, “fillets of sole.” A quarter of an hour later the solemn, white-whiskered head waiter deposited before the committee 18*piping hot dishes, each bearing a number to indicate the name of the artist who had prepared it. The chairman smacked his lips, but 8o did every other member. Opinfon was unanimous that the dishes presented were so satisfactory that it was impossible to confer the title on any candidate without in- justice to the others. So it was de- cided that the candidates should be submitted to an oral examination in order thoroughly to display their culinary scien CONSTANTIN 2 BROWN. France, 6.

By the Associated Press, , ATLANTA, Ga. February G. Candler, Atlanta capitalist; his wife, Forrest Adalr, sr., W. J. Stoddard and G. W. Keeling today were made de- fendants in a damage suit for $100,000 by Mrs. Harriet W. Pitchtord, former awner of an apartment house in which Mrs. Candler, Stoddard and Keeling were arrested February 9, 1924, during a raid. As the result of publicity attend- ant upon the raid and the consequent departure of tenants, Mrs. Pitchford alleges In the suit that her source of income was shut off and, unable to meet her obligations, the apartment house was sold under court order. Mr. Candler and Mr. Adair, the pe- titioner charges, procured through the police department the arrest of Mrs. Candler, Stoddard and Keeling. Mr. Adalr was having Mrs. Candler, Stoddard and Keeling watched, the petition continues, and informed the chief of police he would notify him when to make the arrest Following the arrest of Mrs. Can-| dler und the two men, charges of oc- | cupying a “dive" were placed | against them. When the case was! heard in police court, the charges| were dismissed | “Petitioner alleges,” the suit reads, | “that on account of the nature and| ciroumstances surrounding the ar- rests of defendants, Stoddard, Keel- ing and Mrs. Candler, coupled with the fact that Mrs. Candler was the young Wife of Atlanta’s wealthiest citizen, that sald arrest and charges against her and Stoddard and Keel- ing were extensively published in practically all of the newspapers in the South, in box-car letters upon the front pages of said newspapers.” Mrs. Candler, a public stenographer before her marriage to Candler, was sued for divorce by the capitalist fol- lowing the raid. A few weeks ago Candler became reconciled with his wife and the suit was withdrawn. , Mr. Adair is a real estate man; Mr. Stoddard the head of a laundry con- cern, and Mr. Keeling a brick manu- facturer, UNIQUE CARPET DESIGNED BY CRIPPLED CHILDREN Symbolic Presentation of Entire Surface of Bohemia Included in Huge Product. Correspondence of the Assoclated Press. PRAGUE, January 19.—A unique specimen of art and at the same time perhaps the largest and most curiously designed carpet in the world is being displayed in a public hall of Prague. The carpet is a production of the Jedlicka Institute for Cripples at Prague, and in design it represents in symbolic fashion the surface of Bohemla, the rivers being represented by branches of the trees, characteristic to the territory through which they course, while the other complications in.design sym- bolize the leading features of the different parts of the rountry, the situation of towns and other ctriking landmarks. The whole is blended in such a way ak:to producf a synthetic and harmonious impression, 8o that only on a closer examination the map or topography appears. The cdrpet covers about 100 square meters, weighs 450 kilograms, has 5000 nods, and the plush stands an inch high. It is the work of 10 children working after the design of Prof. Benes of the School of Arts and Crafts. ~The carpet is destined for the international exhibition of modern decorative art in Parlis.
