IN THINKING OF something new,
either In material or seasoning,
perhaps we have omitted to con-
slider curry. tho seasoning Of
the East.
Although unusual in taste. that Is
1t piquancy. as 1t gives that touch
of something different to even an
ordinary dish. Those who know tell
me that In India every cook makes
up his own curry or combination OF
seasoning. But curry In England
and this country has now come to
mean a definite combination OF sea-
sonings which can be bought under
tine name OF one OF the large gro
Gerry houses and which Is always the
same in flavor. and a peculiar dull
yellow in hue.
Meats of all kinds can be COM

preference to potatoes, as Is done by

course, Is possibly the most familiar,

stew can be made more attractive

small quantity OF this spice.

curry Is useful only for remnants
and leftoyers. In India one of the
most highly regarded dishes is
curry OF chicken. This is what one
might call a chicken fricassee, ex-
cept that the chicken Is cut into
large dice and eGsoned with this
spice In n rich cream gravy. Both
chopped celery and chopped apples
may be added which. II liked. give an

The School Fire Drill.

luC kCCnOOi EhC DEhts
The death OF a pupil In Brooklyn
the other day from pneumonia con-
traoted as a result OF "A fire drill
without wraps has prompted q sug-
gestion that provision be made for
definite official drills with clothing.
Formerly when each principal was
allowed TO devise his own system OF
drills he arranged them to suit the
neighborhood and the conditions OF
his school. Then there were drills
with or without clothing. according
to the weather.
A year ago tho fire drill In tho
public schools was standardized.
and the three-bell signal prescribed
was designated to near Immediate
fire drill pupils to go TO street in
charge Of teachers without delay for
books. wraps. or for other causes"
IL pointed out that as the drill
without wraps 10 the only standard
one many principals are tempted to
stretch q point very far before they
will vary It.. As a result children
are often sent into the street when
the weather conditions make the
sudden change from warm class
TO health. Apart from this phahe of
the question. permitting children to
put on their wraps before the sig
nal 10 sounded tends to detract In no
small measure from the value OF the
drill.
Fire drills are 30 frequent that II
IL fair to assume that the great
majority OF children apprehend no
danger when the signal 10 sounded.
They are not positive, OF course, that
there is no fire when they are call
ed upon to march out of the build
ing without their street olothes.
but drilling chiefly IN favorable
weather helps TO strengthen their
suspicion that the drill IL a perfume

portunity to dress before the bel1 II
sounded absolutely confirms II. To
