HER RICH reward
Towns Most Gifted Cook Wins
Envy of Other Women.
There Is No Material Compensation II
Long Hours She Spends With
Rolling Pin and Oven.

There is in every small town some
woman whose cooking is absolute wiz
ardry itself. Her home never lacks for
Sunday company" She is always In
demand at church or lodge suppers.
too.
Mrs. George Sparks was that sort OF
woman. While she could cook with an
artists skill most any dish known to
the small-town housewife, pumpkin pie
was her especial forte. Whenever the
Ladies' Aid society advertised a supper
and carefully stated that Mrs. George
Sparks would contribute some of her
Justly famed pumpkin pies, an overflow
attendance was certain. What strug-
gle always followed the bringing forth
of those golden brown pumpkin pies!
The very sight of them was enough to
make any man in the town wet his lips
with anticipatory delight. The crusts
were always short to just the right
degree of perfect joy and the filling
was like ambrosia the gods had care
lessly left at the disposal of an unde-
serving mankind.
Mrs. Sparks never had the expert
ence of other members of the Ladies'
Aid society, who often had some of
their viands left for the home folk to
consume. Her pies were all slicked up
in a remarkably brief time after they
made their appearance. Pies like Mrs.
George Sparks were never made to be
eaten with fork-they were made for
in1- 70 hn
grasped gently in the palm of the left
hand and thereby to be conveyed to the
eagerly waiting mouth.
None Of the men, except the mayor
and the minister ever was able to curb
his impatient appetite sufficiently to
permit him to ply fork at such times.
The utter and manifest delight with
which every man in town fell upon
those golden pies brought many bale
full glance from other and less favored
members of the Ladies' Aid society.
But there was no man in town who
wasn't willing to have troublous ses.
sion at home for the sake of q second
piece of one of those pies. And there
was probably not another man in town
VINO QlQnt at times envy george
Sparks and didn't resent that worthy
mans self-satisfied and contented de.
meanor. s--a- z--.s,.
And Mrs. George Sparks, what did
she get in return for those hours she
spent with the rolling pin, the dough
pan and the cooking stove oven? She
never got a cent for all the hundreds
of perfect pies with which she supplied
the hungry townsmen. But there
wasn't a woman in town who wouldn't
have undergone an equal amount Of Ia
Dor and self-denial gladly to have re-
ceived Mrs. George Sparks reward
that of knowing she could do some
thing better than any other woman in
town and knowing that they, too, were
aware of the fact.

and generosity. No doubt, the Ber-
lin foreign Office SEES in the egg it is
incubating a real germ Of peace.
But, we imagine, the error as to
the mentality, not to speak of the
morals. of the rest of the world is as
complete as when Hollweg wondered
that Britain should fight for a mere
scrap of paper. Germany does not
yet realize that she has set the rest
of the world at bay against her and
that neither in right nor in reason
can the powers be expected to con-
slider peace with her until by their
imposition of force or her own utter
surrender peace can be made which
will not be the beginning Of new
fears, new armament, and ultimately
a new war. Germany must be beaten
in fact or in spirit so that she con-
cedes everything in principle and
submits to world discipline as the
wholesome substitute for the world
dominance that she herself projected.
This is the answer, the only pos
sible answer. to whatsoever advances
she may make now or in the future.
She cannot beat the world to its
knees. The world must reduce her
to moral subjugation. 1t is for her |
own good as well as that of her OPP
ponents. 1t is the only hope Of free
dom and civilization. She will not be
subjugated, fettered in
her progress. Moral conquest, which
will mean her own spiritual redenp-
ton, is the end for which she must
be prepared.

John D. Gives SIS, B5, SOC More
Rockefeller Raises Endowment of Foundation to
Sum in Excess of SIPS, 0OO, 900, and $10,-
100000 of Principal Is Made Available.

NEW YORK, May 24.-John D.
dowment o.. the Rockefeller Founda-
ton by a further gift of securities
valued at S25, T65 SOC. according to an
announcement made yesterday by DR..
George Edgar Vincent, president of
the foundation, at the end of the
meeting of the board Of trustees.
The transfer OF the securities was
made February % in accordance with
an offer made by Mr.. Rockefeller to
the executive committee on that date.
The total endowment of the founda-
ton Is thus increased to more than
SI25. 1000 900.
At yesterdays meeting Of the trus-
tees authority was given to the exec
utive committee to distribute from
time to time. prior to the next annual
meeting of the foundation in January,
$40. O00. 900 of the endowment fund in
addition to the income to meet such
emergencies as cannot be covered
from the regular income. This I'M
precedented action Is the result OF
the situation with which the founda-
tion finds itself faced, largely due to
the demands made on the available
funds by philanthropic activities as
the result OF the war.
S2.OOO,OOO to Intitute.
An appropriation OF 100000 was
made to the permanent endowment OF
the Rockefeller Institute for Medical
and additional appropria-
lions Of SIC, 200 to the 191T-1s budget
of the school OF hygiene and public
health Of the Johns Hopkins Univers-
fly. and $4,000 toward the cost OF a
mobile motor hospital unit which Is
to be placed in the field by the medi-
cal school Of Yale University.
No definite announcement was
made as to the purposes for which
the executive committee'is authorized
to withdraw from the endowment
fund $10.0O0.OO0 of the principal, but
It can be said that at least a part
OF the sum will be utilized as a con-
tribution to the work which the
American Red Cross will shortly in
both in this country and
abroad.
At the end of the meeting DR.. Vim
cent said: 1.-THE gift Of 100000 ad-
dItIonal endowment to the Institute
for Medical Research is the result OF
the rapid development OF the work OF
the institute. The war has made
special demands in connection with
war surgery and serums, and the de-
mands have so far exceeded the avail
able income that II seems best TO in
crease the endowment by another
gift

TwaddIe About Teaching

No doubt Mrs. Fannie Fern An
drews, secretary of the American
School and Peace League, of Boston,
is a high-minded person who wishes
to use her influence in the way Of
Christian charity; but the appeal"
which she has just issued and which
is published by the World Court
League is, at present, an irrelevant
and possibly mischievous Interrupt
ton in the country's business of
beating Germany in the great war.
We do not suppose Mrs. Andrews in
tends to be pro-German; she would
probably say she is "pro-everybody."
All the same, her appeal is practi-
cally mischievous twaddle at this
time.
Mrs. Andrews appeal is to all
teachers that they should instruct
their pupils not to hate the Germans.
She says that "the schools should
maintain a civic and moral stability
among the youth of the land" and
that anger and hate should be kept
from the school room. We submit
that while Germany is carrying on
such Undesirable outrage under the
name of warfare as marked the op-
erations in Belgium and northern
France, such talk as this is a mawk-
ish intrusion upon the duty of moral
indignation which such a deliberate
reversion to savagery should inspire.
Nobody wants the children taught
to hate the Germans. Everybody
knows that: even Mrs. Andrews
ought to know it. The children hear
enough to disgust and revolt them
with the horrors of this war. But
when the whole nation is equipping
itself as fast as possible for the war
against Germany and her allies, for
Mrs. Andrews to utter loud scream
about not hating the Germans is
really as silly as it is reprehensible.

Believe. Government Clerk. Ar. Not

Believes Government Clerks Are Not
Exempt.
To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Wherein does the fact OF employ
ment by the United States Govern
ment constitute honest grounds for a
claim of exemption from service un.
der the so-caIled CONSUMPTION law?
Why should the Government male
empIoye Of this or any other city be
released from active service?
why should the bank clerk. the
grocery clerk, the drug clerk. or any
clerk lay aside his peaceful occupa-
ton for that Of a soldier while
thousands OF male clerks are left at
home 10 nj positions which can be
allied by girls and women? The plea
that TO call upon the male clerks
would demoralize the service is
poppycock pure and simple, as the
women could learn the duties OF the
vacated positions long before Septem-
Der I.
1t is the duty OF every man to re-
spond 10 the call OF his country. so
do not let the Government be the first
to furnish an excuse for "slackers."
This does not apply to officials whose
duties require exceptional ability
plus long training
