tives and police reserves from the
Poplar street station decided that

Chef Can't Be a Hero in America!
nv MARIAN HALE

New York, April tS.-By this time
we are used to having artists tell lis
that Americans don't appreciate act.
We are convinced we know nothing Or
music and that the fine points of the
drama are beyond us. But now cores
complaint from another quarter
We DON'T appreciate good cooking .
Monsieur CHARLES ScOttO, chef OF
international fame, now at the Am
Dussador Hotel in New York add
catering 10 Gotham's most aristocratic
palates, makes the accusation.
Prohibition, quick lunches and cig-
arctic smoking while eating have made
us what We are.
No Appreciation!
a chef may spend hours making
the most elaborate Dishes" be com
plains, putting into them the
knowledge and ART he has learned
in many countries, and the American
diner comes in and wants beek-steak
or lamb chops-and wants it in
hurry, so he can go somewhere else"
1t was not always thus.
"Beofre prohibition, Americans
were the most faStidious diners" he
assures me. They reserved their
tables and ordered their dinners in
advance. They appreciated epieu-
rem food.
Meal Is Secondary.
"Now they come in half or three
quarters of an hour before time to
go to the theater, smoke and dance
between courses and what they ea5-
is the least of their worries.
"They can't drink and it doesn't
seem to occur to them that food
isn't under the ban.
IF the American housewife gets
as little appreciation of her efforts
as the chef does, it is no wonder she
has turned over her culinary worries
to the delicatessen merchant"
Monsieur Scotto learned his art in
France. Later he went all over Eu-
rope, studying cookery with the most
famous chefs. For % years he has
been identified with the most famous
dining places of Europe and America.

Caramel Apples

or Columbia University.

Pare and core four apples and cut
them into eighths. Place in a baking
dish and sprinkle with mixture from
six tablespoons of brown sugar, two
tablespoons of flour and one-fourta
teaspoon of cinnamon. Place four
tablespoons of butter on top and pour
one-half cup of water around the
apples. Bake slowly until the apples
are soft, basting often with the sirup.
These apples are delicious when
served with plain cream and fresh
doughnuts or cookies.

Anger is n poison. 1t actually gen
