MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irving S. Cobb

Frank Stevens, the famous New York ca
terer, who feeds the crowds at baseball
parks and race tracks and horseshows and
automobile shows all over the country is
naturally interested in the subject of Goods
He knows good cooking and loves good
cooking, too.
1t was with touch of regret in his voice
here the other day, when the subject which
is so close to his heart was being discussed
by small group gathered in his offices on
Fifth avenue, that he said:
zone of the best cooks l ever knew was
by birth an Englshman, as l am. He
worked in a small hotel in small town out
in Ohio His particular specialties were
broiled beefsteaks and grlled mutton chops.
Smart people would travel considerable dis
tances to have him cook meals for them. He
knew the tastes of his regular patrons, and
when they intrusted him with an order they
were sure of getting exactly what they want
ed AS l say, it was a small town where he
lived and he was it's most prominent insti-
tuition
"But that's not what I started out to tell
about. What l started out to tell was about
his death and what happened shortly after
wards. He had one temperamental draw
back, this cook did, and it was his undoing
He drank and he drank hard. One night
after he had imbibed heavily, the hotel
caught fire and was destroyed. In the ruins
they found his body, burned to crisp.
Some of his friends and admirers thought
that the memory OF such genius should be
perpetuated. So, among themselves, they
took up a collection for the purpose of erect
ing a monument over his grave. Here a
question arose-what words to carve on the
shaft. First one would suggest an inscrip-
ton and then another.
"An old ex-Confederate from down south
somewhere, was present as a bystander dur
ing the discussion. For a while he listened
in silence to the argument Then he spoke
up:
q" Gentlemen he said, one moment, if
you please. Pardon me if l present idea
AS l understand it. what you gentlemen de-
sire is a single line out of the Scriptures
which will sum up the entire character of
the late lamented, if possible-his vocation,
the manner of his death and the estimation
in which he is held by his friend. Am I
right
" You are said one of the party; but
that's rather a large order to compress into
one line, isn't it,?
" Not at ALL, said the southerner I've
just thought of one and have jotted it down
on this bit of paper
He handed the paper over and the others
read it and adopted the suggestion by ac-
clamation. What he had written was this:
"'Well done. thou good and faithful serv-
anti"

contrasts. England, Italy, Argentina and

only two planes finished, and these carried

Don t Shoot Buf1 Bats

y T is good to learn that the police are en-
forcing the law against shooting bull
bats, or night hawks, that invaluable va
riety of insect-eaters which is first cousin to
the whippoorwiu and which ought to be well
coined and sheltered, not rnthlessly destroyed
This feathered friend was most unhappiy
christened lark, a nightingale, Or La
nier," as Harry Stillwell Edwards has delight
fully called the mockingbird, is protected by
the romance of its name as we'll as by the
genius of it's song. But in the very sound Of
"bull bat" there is something earthly, and
in might hawk something hostile that Is
likely to forestall sympathy unless one knows
the true nature of the bird The bull bat is
not bat; the night hawk IS not hawk. 1t
is as good friend as ever farm or garden
had, and is beautiful to behold against the
twilight skies.
SO skilled are these birds in flight that no
insect can elude them. Thus reports a sci
enlist of the national department of agricul-
ture, and he adds: "They sweep up in their
capacous mouths everything from the largest
moths and dragonflies to the tiniest moths
ar gnats, and in this way sometimes gather
most remarkable collection of insects Sew
eral stomachs have been found to contain
fifty or more different kinds Of insects, while
the number of individuals may run into the
thousands. Nearly a fourth of the birds
total food is composed of ants. These insects
are genera ly annoying and often very inju
rious, especially in relation to stored prod
ucts and in their activities in fostering de-
structive plant lice. More than fifth of the
night hawks food consists of May beetles,
dung beetles, and other beetles of the leaf
chafer family These are the adults Of the
white grubs, noted pests Numerous other
injurious beetles, as click beetles, wood bor-
ers, and weevils are eaten (by the bull bat)
No fewer than eighteen species of bark
beetles, which are among the most destructive
forest enemies, have been identified in the
food of the night hawk"
To destroy so useful a bird would be un-
pardonable, particularly in State to which
agriculture is vitality important even if there
were no statute -orbidding. The fact is, of
course, that the killing of bull bats Is pro-
hibited b. law in Georgia, and yiolators are
liable to punishment by heavy fines. Com
plants have come to the Atlanta police that
boys, and sometimes men, shooting at
bull bats in residence dstricts--a practice
which, apart from it's transgression of the
game law, is dangerous to human life. Such
cases should be promptly reported, and un-
failingly punished, not alone in cities, but in
towns and countrysides The bull bat, which
lays only two eggs and raises but one family
year, is worth too much to Georgia to be
exterminated by gunners-as it will be I'M
less the law protecting it is faithfully OBJ
served and enforced.

Our World Record

Wy
M of our army aviators in their
ro3rd-the-world flight? The question
is being asked by the cynically inclined, now
that the tumult has died and the captains
have departed. Is it worth the great cost
that was incurred?
There is no measuring the sentimental
values The country has been thrilled by
the skill and courage of these aviators, and
America has kept her lead. The short fight
along the Carolina sands in 1907 has length
ened out to twenty-five thousand miles in
1924. The genius that built the planes, the
valor and will that carried them to victory,
the whole world gazing on, were American.
1t is worth great deal to inspire a genera
ton of ones own countrymen, and it may be
taken for granted that the American boy and
girl have followed closely and with glowing
faces the heroes of this the greatest stunt"
OF history.
But the gain in this triumph is not confined
to sentiment. A great mass of data has been
secured that is measurable and estimable. 1t
has been demonstrated in the first place, that
for practical purposes-for travel and dis
patch of mails-the course sailed by Lieuten-
ant Smith and his associates, the European
"leg" excepted is absolutely useless. That
has been definitely settled for all time. Five
months were consumed in passing over it,
and forty-seven days of actual flying time,
the latter representing approximately all the
favorable weather available. Ordinary ships
do better.
But the plane is here to stay as an adj
junct of modern life, and we know now the
sum of its ability under all weather condi-
tions. We know, too, the life of the Liberty
engine, and the limits of its cruising powers
In war this will be of enormous value; and
in the mail service it was just what we
wanted to find out. And finally these en-
g1nes and planes have been thoroughly tested
under every condition of weather the good
old earth is blessed with; or cursed as the
case may be. Our aviators flew with the
Arctic snow in their faces; with the fogs of
Iceland drenching their clothing; with the
hot winds and sands of the desert smother
ing them. And the planes came through.
The value of cooperation between the
army and navy has been admirably demon
strated, and with it the greater value of or
ganization There was not flaw in the ar
rangenents at any point. The program
flowed out to the last course with beautiful
precision. One plane went to pieces in the
Aleutians. but the three went on Another
met with disaster in the edge of the Arctic
and TIE two came on. No life was lost.
thanks to the superb courage of the aviators
and to the skill of the American war vessels
An En~lish competitor came to grief in the
Far East; he was given an American plane

italian Joined in at Iceland and was given
an equal chance for victory; and later, by
the wonderful efficiency of the organization,

One might with greater eXactness speak OF
the billboard menace. These hulkng mon
strosities, whether found in city or country,
serve not only to accentuate a materialisni,

to weaken that sense of the beautiful and
the sublime necessary to national and ndi-
vdual well-being.
The cult of the ugly is fostered by them
as by no other agency. Let architects give

FAMOUS MALAMUTES
 PASS WITH PROGRESS

NENANA, Alaska, Aug. 28.-The malamute dog, for many years the famed steed of the north, apparently is destined to go.
 With the coming of the railroads, dog teams were driven farther into the interior. And now the prevail ence of reindeer herds and the growth of the market garden and the town-lot garden have caused re- strictions to be drawn around the malamute until he is coming to be classed a nuisance in the more set tied parts of southeastern Alaska The malamute had his genesis in the wolves and wild dogs of the north. All fowls and quadrupeds were his common prey. But when, in more modern days, a malamute began pulling down reindeer and the livestock of farmers, he was treated as wolf and hunted down.
 Owing to the light demand for dogs, 1t is difficult to procure pure bred specimens south of the Yukon, and the one-time aristocrat of the Arctic is becoming mixed with the blood of so many mongrels that he has almost lost his identity.

METEOR SEARCH
 BRINGS REWARD

PRESCOTT ,Ariz., Aug. 27.-Min- ing men, who for months have been drilling in the vicinity of Meteor Mountain near Flagstaff, in this State, with the hopes of reaching a giant meteor which, in it's fall from the heavens centuries ago, is SUD- posed to have caused tremendous crater where the drills are located, recently struck the surface of the meteor at depth of l,103 feet, they declare, the surface being so hard that the drill was ground to pieces and the derrick partly wreck ed.
 Legend and speculation, romance and theory long have been woven into the discussions of Meteor Noun tain. Scientists have disputed over the origin of the crater at it's base where the drills are set, some claim ing the depression was caused by' the diagonal fall of a huge meteor which gouged the erth into a con- tinuous bank around the place where it penetrated the ground; while others assert as positively that the whole thing was caused by blow out of gases.
 Fragments of meteoric formation. found around the crater, however, throw welght toward the first the ory, and the fact that platinum has been found in these fragments lends speed to the drills. Moreover it is estimated that more than one and half pounds of radium, of market value of $1O0,OO0 gram, will be found in the meteor.
 Mining operations, it is said, will be changed within a few weeks, the drilling to be discontinued an d tunnel to be run to the metc0r. Me teor Mountain is not, properly, rrourtain at all. It is only 200 feet high and is hugh bowl, 6OO feet deep, the bottom containing about forty acres.
