Veteran Waiter Finds
Modern Appetite Weak

An American. visiting Manchester.
England, not long ago, was brought In
contact with a waiter who has served
at every oyster feast there since 1902
and who complained of the degeneracy
Of the contemporary appetite.
The capacity Of the guests Ia not
what 1t used to he" said this waiter,
Il have often served fourteen dozen
oysters To one man, and many guests
would eat Ave or six dozen at the
feast Today few persons eat more
than two and half Dozen"
Now this disconsolate waiter might
brighten up II he had the opportunity
Of serving customer like the man
whom Brlllat- Savarin celebrates in his
"Physlologie du Gout." II Ia therein
stated that when BrIllat- Savarin lived
at Versailles ne frequently met NJ
Laperte, who was very fond Of oys-
tiers, but who complained that he could
never get his all of them. The ia.
nous gastronomlst determined to sat
isfy this man once for all and invited
him to dinner. He kept pace with La.
perte up to the third dozen and then
allowed him to proceed alone, He
swallowed oysters steadily for more
than an hour. and Brillat-Savarin had
to stop him after the thirty second
dozen, just as he had remarked that
he was beginning to enjoy his treat.
The two men then dined and Laperte
acquitted himself with the vigor and
appetite of a man who had been long
fasting.

Statue of Liberty Less
Heroic Than Uncle San,

The Statue OF Liberty, with Its mai
esty of pose, is less heroic than Uncle
Sam. While the Statue Of Liberty en-
bodies our conscious rectitude and In
spires our laudatory and exemplary
natlonallsm, Uncle Sam Is not statue.
He Is so constituted that he could not
by any stretch Of the Imagination oc-
cupy pedestal. He could ont hold the
pose without feeling ridiculous. He Is
hearty and fraternal, lmpulslve and
generous, and, above all, unselfcon-
scious. He has a kind Of instructive
wisdom by which he anticipates and
disarms the laughter Of the world by
Gle Sam who feeds the hungry tramp
at the back door while the Statue of
Liberty reads him lecture from the
porch, says Il. b: Perry in the Cen
fury. II was Uncle Sam who went to
France in 1917 and to Russia In 1919,
while the Statue Of Liberty remained
at home on Its pedestal.
There Is place for the Statue OF
Liberty. It should not stand upon the
Atlantic seaboard, looking meaningly
Mt Europe and inviting attention TO
our national perfection. It should not
be compelled to enllghten the world
1t should be removed to the interior,
there to revolve upon Its pedestal and
stir the aspiration of Americans. It
should preside over the domestic life
and not over our foreign relations
Thus placed, It would symbolic, not
liberty attained before the envlous and
admirlng world, but that liberty which
Is our goal. It might then. together
with Uncle Sam. symbolic our seek
ing and our confession Of shortcom-
ing, our faith and our candor, and be-
fore the world our tolerance and com.
radeship.
