FISH STEW EXCELLENT DISH
Home Demonstration Agents Of the
Department Of Agriculture Rec
ommend 1t Highly

The "pine bark fish Stew" which is
being marketed by the canning clubs
in the southern states along the At
lantic and gulf coasts, should be of
interest to housewives, says the New
York Times. The development of
combination foods peculiar to certain
localities has been particularly fos-
tered by extension agents of the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
turo and the state agricultural col
leges which carry on boys and girls
club work. Almost every country in
the world and practically every dis
trict in the United States, has spe-
cial "one-piece" dish made of the prod
ucts in that region. The gumbo of
the far South, the New England boiled
dinner, the bouillabaisse of Marseilles
reproduced in New Orleans. Hun
garian goulash, Chinese chop suey, In
dian curry, Irish stew, French ragout,
are instance Of this tendency to blend
fiavors in one dish.
Pine bark fish stew is character
istic dish in South Carolina. Very
probably it was introduced by settlers
from the southern part of France and
from Italy. Italians living in south
ern California serve similar fish
stew. The home demonstration agents,
seeking popular and somewhat novel
product which would not be in COM
petition with commercial canned
goods, decided to have the clubs make
specially of canning pine bark fish
stew.
Onion, tomatoes, celery, pimento
and fish are the ingredients, which are
cooked slowly in vegetable oil and
poured over southern style" rice. At
large out-of-doors gatherings and COM
munity lunches this is served on pieces
of pine bark, giving the dish its name.
In Florida, Georgia and all the gulf
states various local fish are adapted
to the combination

stronu "Make. Believe"

Donald and his sister Helen delight
In playing house together. Each child
has house in different parts of the
same room. Helen was making call
on Donald, and Donald invited her TO
sit down on the only chair he had in
his house, while he sat down on
small bucket, which he had turned
upside down. Finally Donald grew
restless sitting on the upturned
bucket, and in the course of the con-
versation he asked: How long are
you going to stage"
Il think I'll stay all night"
Donald twisted around on the little
bucket which was becoming a more
uncomfortable seat all the while, and
said quite emphatically: "Well, If
you're going TO stay all night, | guess
you'll have TO give me that chair, cuz
| can't stand this bucket"

Over in the Federal Shipbuilding COM
pany's yards in Kearney, N. j., French
and Belgian poppies bloom with the
same brave colors they showed on the
battlefields overseas How did they
get there? Well, that's long story.
Remember when our troop ships
were speeding over the waters guarded
by swift destroyers? And when other
vessels were making the trip carrying
food and other supplies to the brave
armies overseas? Well, no troops were
homeward bound in those days, but
the vessels did not come back with
empty holds.
Instead as ballast they used soil
from Belgium and France.
What to do with this ballast when
the ships touched New York was a
problem until officials of the shipbuild-
ing concern in Kearney asked for the
soil for filling in purposes. AS result
more than 100 barge loads were trans
ferred from transports docked in Ho-
boken and carried to the yards, where
the soil was used to fill sort of trench

several blossoms growing from each
stem. Probably these newcomers
would still be unnoticed if the other
day some one hadn't stopped the young
son of the shpyard's chief of police
to ask where he picked his scarlet
n0segay.
"These?" remarked the boy, holding
the flowers out for observation. "Oh,
these are Belgian peoples that grow
wild down in my fathers yards. Want

Plan to Get Gold From Sand.

Ii has been known for many years
that Adirondack sand contains gold de-
posits that will run from five to seven
dollars per ton. No practical process
was known by which the gold could be
obtained at profit. although several
attempts have been made in various
sections Of the mountains.
Now. however, it is reported that a
process has been perfected which will
insure profit, and that two large mills
will soon be erected in the northern
Adirondacks. Each will be equipped
to handle ten tens of sand per hour.
1t is rumored the capital is to be fur
nished by a group of Canadian and
United States bankers.

ITALY'S FEELINGS ARE
RUFFLED OVER STATUS
IN LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Rome, Spept. 24.-Much indigna'
ton has been aroused in Italy by
the proposal that. in determining the
expenses of the League of Nations,
Italy should be assigned to the second
category.
The Italians national pride has
been hurt by the suggestion and
columns have appeared in the press
protesting against the idea of rele-
eating the country to position i'm
ferior to other great powers. Accord
ing to the suggestion. Great Britain
and France would be placed in the
first category while Italy and Japan
would occupy the second. The price
of being registered in the first cate
those Of the second pay but 100000
francs year.
The Epoca gave expression TO its
feelings in this manner:
THE affair is exceptionally un-
pleasant. Italy which has so potent
ly contributed to the victory cannot
see herself assigned to the second
category, as people who spend little
are assigned TO restaurant Of the
second class"
Then, too, the fact that most of the
organization and secretaryships oi
the League are in the hands Of the
British constitutes another source
of complaint. 1t is pointed out tina,
the secretariat of the league consists
of 10 members, of whom 80 are Eng.
lish and 80 French while Italy has no
more than a dozen.

therefore to her town. Music, after
so long a time, Is coming rapidly into
its own. The world improves as the
love Of the fine arts becomes intensi-
fled. Does not every one know that
he cannot get away from music in
some one of its phases? Rhythm is
present in all motion. Speaking as
well as singing voices utilize two ele-
ments, melody and rhythm. The
laughter OF a child is the sweetest
of music. The lisp of the wind, the
purl OF water and the song Of birds
then, very part OF our being,
about us at all hours in some form,
we are unconsciously part OF the
universal art, called music. The stars,
the mountains, the plains, the desert
and the ocean give forth wordless
songs just as surely as Mendelssohn
gave them. Add man-made to natures $
music and what a melody Of tonal
effect one hears. We can do our
rart in elevating music to its proper
status by assisting in every musicai
effort. Our school, stores. band, or
chestra and teachers all could give
some form OF musical entertainment
on that day. There could be chorus
by the choirs or the school children
in the evening, concert by the band
at certain hour, recital by the teach
ers. What n day it could be! Who will
carry out the idea? What of the Phil
| harmonic?
