SOUTHERN DISHES.
Reason Why Efforts to Make Them
Popular in New York Have Failed.

From the New York Sun.
At irregular intervals the effort is made
to establish IN permanence the popularity
of southern dishes in New York restau-
rants, but usually 1t has not succeeded.
French Italian, Hungarian, German, Span
fish, Polish and even Russian Syrian Greek
and Chinese. dishes have. on the other
hand had a certain vogue.
There is large and constantly increasing
southern colony in New York. Yet restau-
rants making a speciality of southern dishes
have in almost every case, been compelled
to yield sooner or later to the demand for
cooking of another style, despite the ac-
knowledged excellence of fried chicken,
pone cake, corn mullins Smthfeld ham,
pan fish, waffies and like delicac'es.
The explanation of this apparent inability
of southern dishes to retain a foothold in
New York restaurants IS simple. The south
is region mostly of small towns and VIII
lagos. and the opportunities of cooks in 1t
are limited There is corn in plenty, but
very little -four. There are chickens, but
little beef, mutton or veal.
There are ham and bacon and game
sometimes, but the standard articles of the
American bill Of fare, beefsteak, roast beef,
lamb and mutton chops are seldom seen.
Frying. rather than broiling. is the rule,
and what can't be fried but must be broled,
Stewed or roasted is not often seen on Ia.
bles in the south.
Under the circumstances, the southern
cooks have done well. but when southerners
come to New York with its greater varle-
ties offered in cooking, with its larger mar.
kets and different methods, they eschew
the southern dishes and take to those which
are more popular here.
Corn cakes a substitute for bread are
popular in the south, where the supply OF
corn is almost unlimited. but southerners IN
New York incline rather to bread than to
corn combinations, and it is the same with
other dishes.
So long as people of French birth or
French extraction are favorable to French
cooking; so long as Italians favor Italian:
Hungarians Hungarian; Spaniards Spanish;
Poles Polish; Germans German, and Swedes
Swedish cooking-milk soup, blood pud-
ding, picked herring and caulifiower salad
the popularity of each of these styles Of
cooking is likely to continue in New York
restaurants; but where. as in the case Of
southern dishes. people display no desire TO
uphold the cookery of their home, ii is not
to be expected that it will gain or attain
any great vogue here.
1t Is under these circumstances that tho
work of popularZlng southern dishes 10
carried on In New York against many OBJ
stacles. The fact is that Chinese restau.
rants even are preferred.

Hawaiian Militia.
After the passage of the militia law by

1903 the legislature of the Territory of Ha
wall, in June, 1908, passed a new militia
law. the laws relating to the militia of the
Territory Of Hawaii we're codified. and new
regulations issued based on the regulations
for the army Of the United States.
There has practically been a reorganiza-
ton of the National Guard of Hawaii since
the passage of the new militia law and
steady endeavor on the part of the officers
to fit themselves to perform the duties In
cumbent on them Hereunder.
There have been appropriations made by
the territorial legislature for new armories

wider publicity than could have been
had in any other way.
The art of literary log rolling is adj
Vanclng to a remarkable state of per-
lection. Long before a book is in type
1t has frequently been submitted to a
number of well-known men, who are
asked to say what they think of it.
Out of a score of opinions some few
should be good enough to use in ads.
So the work goes on.
Quite the most amusing effort of one
writer to obtain publicity has, as it
should, resulted only in notoriety. She
goes from city to city, accompanied by
a press agent. This astute man, eX-
perienced in newspaper work, visits
the newspaper offices and invites an
editor over to meet the distinguished
writer. Now and then the distinguish
ed writer lets it be known that she has
come to meet some we'll known actor
to see about a stage version of her
most famous book. Sometimes she in
Inmates that she has been captivated
by a football, baseball or war hero we'll
known in the place. The innocent VIC
tim is invited to lunch, and the re-
porters flock to see whether the couple
make love, and to hear what they say
to each other Most of these strange
efforts to appear in the public print
have resulted only in convincing read
ers that the young woman is, to be
generous, making herself ridiculous.
The man who discovers the deadly
parallel is once more abroad in the
land, and young authors especially are
warned to be very careful where they
