TURKEY T0 LEARN AMERICAN FOODS American Teacher Plans Course to Replace Such Dishes as “Stuffed Liar.” By the Associated Press. CONSTANTINOPLE, November 27., —The Oriental mystery prevading the Turkish larder, which produces such quaintly named dishes as ‘“‘fainting priest,” “stuffed liar,” and “lady’'s leg,” is to be clarified by an American food expert. The expert is Miss Sarah Tuck of | Springfield, Mo., who was trained at Simmon’s | Harvard University and Technology School, Boston. She has inaugurated at the Stamboul Normal School Turkey's first course in home economics whereby Turkey's future teachers will spread American meth- ods of housekeeping, cookery and thrift throughout Anatolia. The government’s interest is shown | in a speech by President Mustapha Kemel Pasha before the Association of | Restaurateurs in which he attacked the national habit of serving a dozen courses at each meal and the protli gate use of materials In the concoc- tlon of cach dish. Menu Is Confusing. A Westerner is likely to be over- come in translating a Turkish menu when he finds he is expected to par- i such as those men- nd others named “vizier's - fingers"” and “Noah's ark.” these, the inevitable “pilau,” a staple rice dish, is simple, even though serv- ed in 59 varieties. The natio entree, called *pleased Sultan,” dates from the time of Abdul Hamid 1], known as the “Red Sultan” because of the massacres perpetrated under his regime. Suffering gastronomic ennui on one occasion, the Sultan ordered his chef to invent a dish that would tickle the royal palate. The chef, aware that his life hung in the balance of his ladle, seized an eggplant from which he made a sauce. This he poured over mincemeat cooked in oil. The Sultan cleaned the platter and smiled; hence the name of the dish. When the republic was declared, how- ever, the name was ordered changed on the restaurant menus to “pleased republic.” Priest Fainted at Cost. “Fainting priest” is composed of eggplant stuffed with stone pine nute amd samples of nearly every vegetable in the garden, the whole floating in a sea of olive oil. This dish owes its origin to the spendthrift wife of a Turkish priest who used a gallon of oil which her husband had bought for the Winter's use. When informed that invention of the dish had ab- sorbed the entire stock, the priest 1 dy’s leg” is nothing more dread- ful than spicy meat balls fried in egg yolks. Rice balls wrapped in grape leaves and cooked in the inevitable oil arc called “stuffed liars” because there is no meat within. “Vizier's fingers” are hard white pastry and finger-shaped, and commemorate the inflexible pow- er of the former rulers. “Noah's ark” is Turkey's pet dessert. It is made of the 10 ingredients, including cereals, nuts and raisins which Turk- ish tradition says Noah found remain- ing in the ark when the waters sub- sided and threw into one dish which was eaten to celebrate delivery from the flood. UNSELFISHNESS URGED AS COLLEGE CONDITION Michigan President Calls Lack of Requirement Unfaithful- J ness to Duty. By the Ascociated Press. ANN ARBOR, Mich., October 26.— TUnselfish purpose to be of use in life should be one of the requirements for wdmission to college, in the belief of Clarence C. Little, president of the University of Michigan. His opinion is expressed in Scrib- ner's Magazine under the title, “The Disappearing Personal Touch in Col- leges,” which he makes clear in a phrase describing the results of the great expansion in college attendance. “It is clearly being unfaithful to our duty,” he writes, “to ignore in our selection of candidates for ad- mission the potential value of the stu- dent as an asset to his fellow man. Students desiring to enter college with selfish or self-centered purposes, or with only a feeling of individual rights and privileges, should certainly be viewed with much distrust as those conditioned in plane geometry. “It may be definitely stated that it is not kind to admit immature, friv- olous or narrowly selfish boys or girls to college today. It is not even democratic. This follows if we as- sume that in a democracy the admis- sion of common obligation lies at the basis of progress.” oo Hungary's “Best Man” Dies.

He frequently made matches. proposed for the suitor and took charge of the three-day wedding cere- monies, at which he was supposed to partake of as much food and drink as his capacity permitted. Dezsi did this so conscientiously that he brought on an untimely death. Women Wear Live Fur Pieces.

NEW YORK, November 27.—Europe, especially England and France, does not favor chemical warfare because it tends to shift military power from the large to the clever nation, Dr. J. Merritt Matthews, New York chemical engineer, writes from Geneva to in- dustrial and engineering chemistry, Journal of the American Chemical Society. Dr. Matthews refers to Geneva as the world's greatest manufactory of arguments. “It has developed new and startling methods of logic,” he writes: “The scholastic theologians of- the medieval ages were incompetent children when compared with the machiavellian logicians at Geneva. And most of the reasoning is based either on a dreaded fear or an undying hate of one's neighbor.” Places Cause of Opposition. The underlying cause of opposition to chemical warfar he said, is the “remarkable stolidity’” of war de- partments, and the apparent popular aversion to being killed in any but the accustomed manner. He says that the same cry of “inhuman meth- ods” was raised when shot and shell were new. “Personally we cannot see,” he writes, “why it was thought to be more inhuman to kill and maim men with bullets and shells than to cut off their heads with a sword or mash in their brains with a mace. But people were accustomed to being killed and wounded by one method, and they viewed with horror any innovation.” Of the “stolidit statesmen concerned with w: id that the s of fare spread use of chemicals 4is for the most part far beyond the mental grasp of the ordl- nary statesman or military leader.” Protests Called Futile. Despite all opposition, Dr. Matthews asserts eve to against ch vision of new futile as “in a major are abrogated and any means of over: coming the enemy that may come to hand is utilized. Dr. Matthews, the Chemical Journal says, is nationally known in industry and education as a chemical expert. He is a former head of the depart- ment of chemistry in the Philadelphia Textile School and a member of the National Research Council, the Amer- ican Chemical Society and other scientific organizations.

Titina 1s a woman and perhaps that explains it— At any rate what she did was mere- ly to follow her own inclinations i stead of those age-old precepts laf down and built up by soclety, and zoodness! what woman hasn't ihe right to do that? Yesterday Titina had just been pre- sented to the President of the United States, and she was standing with the Chief Executive and Gen. Umberto Nobile, Italian navigator of the North Pole-conquering airship Norge, in the dignified chamber used by Mr. Cool- idge as his office, when without a word of apology or explanation she leaped daintily upon the window sill, skipped lightly to the ground and scampered away. Now it happens that Titina is not only a woman, but she is a fox terrier, and that might throw some light of explanation upon her unusual conduct in the White House. And while she is both those things, Mr. Coolidge is + man as well as President, and seeing the famous little dog take to the open spaces so rapidly he became alarmed enough to hastily summon an attend- ant whom he dispatched to retrieve the wee truant, while he, with Gen. Nobile, leaned far out of the executive window and cranned an executive neck to watch the chase. In due time Titina was returned by the attendant and she acted quite a lady for the remainder of the visit. They do say it was a squirrel that tempted her fancy—but anyway she is a woman. Gen. Nobile, who is staying at the Willard during his several days’ so- journ in Washington before he goes to New York, took Titina with him on the famous North Pole flight and the little pup has accompanied him on his travels and official calls since she was made mascot of the Norge, For hfs part, Gen. Nobile has no im- mediate plans for another polar flight, although he is contemplating another visit to the polar regions in which he would explore territory over which he did not pass on his first Building Airplane “Home.” The huge airplane soon to be launched in England will be equipped with hammocks for sleeping, a living room and a place for cooking. The machine will be used for long flights, and attempts to moor it in sheltered coves for rest perfods will be made. Real Estate Salesmen.
