CULINARY SCIENCE.

"God gives food ard the devil sends cooks" runs the old proverb. Just at present there is an extraordinary de- mand for both, with the supply of food, short as 1t is, a little bit ahead Of the cooking brigade. Our sudden plunge into unaccustop,ed depths of military activities has brought us face to face with the fact that we have not paid sufficient attention to the development of skilled cooks. says Omaha Bee. Painful and costly experience has shown US our deficiency in this regard. and the great importance of supply Ing the need. Food of any kind Is too precious to be entrusted to the minis trations of an amateur whose exferi- ments may or may not result haprily; therefore, 1t Is proposed by boniface of prophetic vision that chair of culi. nary science be established in our uni verslties. It is not sufficient that the domestic science course be continued. What is needed Is something broader and deeper, cocks not planned to turn out patties and puffs or any of the v.ri- euS other fanciful creations that fill the dreams of cordon blue but men and women of good judgment who gan take a haunch of beef. carcass of mutton or side of pork and bring 1t from the cleansing and purifying fires fit for human consumption, meantime giving needstr attention to the spuds and other esculent vegetables required to garnish the board whsreon the meat fs served.

CAREER FOR BOYS

After the war the world will face the no less gigantic task of reconstrnc- ton. The yavages of war must be re paired or restored, and the worlds ln- dustry and trade started up again. And this must be done with less available labor and much less available skill Take engineering, for example, which will be specially essential. The war has called the engineers Of the world into the conflict, and the hazardous nature of their work has caused heavy losses. There Is thought In this thnt should be considered by parents and by boys about to make the choice of career, says Pittsburgh Dispatch. The engineering schools abroad have large E been shut down for lack of students and instructors drawn into the armies. h the immense taea of rebuilding. Durope will oOk to America for engineers, and here at home there will be unprecedented possibilities for en- gineering talent. It is probably no ex- aggerntion to say thnt few. If any, oc- equations will offer such prospects 10 the boy of today as engineering will after the war. This is profession that should specially appeal to the boys or America. where, because of our great industries, technical education is com hs to bs more and more appreciated

lauqhtsr and rsars.

Laughter and tears, according to . recent book by Dr. George W. Grille, are two forms of the same mechanism-a human safety valve to prevent the results of emotion from injuring the body.
 When pedestrian slips on a banana peel and, just as he is about to tumble, recoyers his equilibrium, the onlookers by laughing secure relief from the integration to run to his rescue. If he falls and hurts himself the onlookers run to his aid, thereby consuming the motor inte- grafton, and hence there is no laughter.

Oldest Candy In. World Ia Lieorice.
 Most of the black licorice comes from Spain, where 1t is made from the juice Of the plant and mixed with starch to prevent 1t from melting in hot weather. The licorice plant ia a shrub about three feet high and grows wild where its roots can reach the water. It grows largely on the banks of the T;gris and Euphrates rivers.
 As the valley of the EuphrAtes con. tained one of the earliest civilizations in the world, it is probable that nco- rice is about the oldest confection in the world and that the taste which boys and girls like so well today was enjoyed by the boys and girls of Baby lon and Nineveh 5000 years ago.-Nsw York Mail
