CHOP suEY

The term chop suey" comes from
the English word chop plus the Chi
nese word sui" meaning bits" 1t
therefore means chopped into bits.
which, is good to remember in prepar-
Inc chop suey. as the meats and vege-
| tables used should all be cut to about
the same size.
Chinese food is chopped before be-
inc served so that it can be handled
with chop sticks. Somebody has said
tina. chop suey is Chinese for clean
up the Kitchen since it is really a
Chinese form OF hash and may con-
sist of chicken. fish. mushrooms,
bamboo shoots. bean sprouts, or al
most anything handy.
Although chop suey is closely asso-
ciated in our minds with the Chinese,
as a matter of fact. it is not supposed
to have had its beginning in China,
but to have first seen the light OF day
in San Francisco. Gossip has 1t that
some clever Chinese there made a
fortune by serving this dish, which Is
SO easily digested and rclished by al
most everyone.
The Chinese cook uses no milk,
cheese nor butter. The frying IS done
in peanut or olive oil. One Of the
fundamental rules OF Chinese cookery
which dates back from 5000 B. G. Is
that meat dishes should contain about
one-third as much meat as vegetables.
This is a very good rule to follow, as
it makes a we'll balanced meal.
Chop suey usually contains onions.
but this is not necessary. as the other
ingredients are quite appetizing and
more wholesome If the onions are
omitted. Chop suey is usually fried.
This method cannot really be con-
sideyed wholesome. but the frying Of
the non-starchy vegetables and meat
cannot be considered as harmful as
when ssarchy foods are fried.
Chop suey. while not particularly
health1ul. can be used occasionally for
the sake of variety by those who are
in good health. Meat chop sueys are
prepared with a soup stock which is
made from equal parts of chicken and
pork cooked slowly for about two
hours and strained. Here is a recipe
for chicken chop suey:
3 pounds of chicken
3 stalks of celery
l dozen white mushrooms
I dozen water cheStnutS.
!. pound of bean sprouts
4 tablespoonfuls Of suey sauce
y cup of soup stock.
Chop the raw chicken meat into
small pieces and fry in a hot creased
skillet. using olive oil. After the
chicken begins to brown, add the
chopped celery and water chestnuts,
after which the. stock may be added.
Then add the Chinese sauce. bean
sprouts and mushrooms. After SIM
mering for a few minutes this dish is
ready to serve.

THE PERFECTIONIST
by Alice JudSOn Pcale)

A mar who as a camp director has
worked and played with boys for
many years says that above all the
things from which he would try to
protect his Owl Child is the baleful
influence Of excessively high stand
ards.
Children. lie feels. are hurt more Of
ten by high ideals than by the lack
Of them.
The child who Is a perfectionist
finds life unnecessarily hard. Nearly
always he falls short in his own eyes.
Seldom does he know the glow Of
self satisfaction and success.
He becomes discouraged. and fire.
quent encouragement is not good for
growth. With it often 60 irritability
and a carrying owe Of the hypercrit-
ical attitude towards others-a state
Of mind not calculated to make for
happy social relations.
One such young idcalist covered his
feeling OF self depreciation with a
staggering exterior that won for him
the reputation Of being a conceited
bully.
The hypercritical attitude not only
makes difficult the child's social rela-
tionships. but it stands in the way Of
accomplishment. Ee starts to make
something, but as it nears completion
lie sees how fer 1t falls short of the
perfect thing he had in mind when
he began.
Without finishing it he throws It
asiGe and rcstlessly looks for some
oth1s occupation from which, In all
probability. he will reap no greater
success. His standards serve only to
give him poor habits of work and a
sense Of imminent failure in whatever
he undertakes.
Give your child ideals that he can
live with. standards or achievement
which. with good effort and inten-
ton, he may attain.

Censorship Proves Inconsistent

The chief trouble with censorship is that it so often
works backwards.
Fo. some reason it seems impossible to enforce a CEN
sorship without dom: things that are just naturally
ridiculous.
Some months ago the papers were full Of the case OF a
New York GRANDMOTHER who was convicted in federal
court of sending obscene literature through the mails.
She had written a sex education pamphlet and had
mailed it to various people. One Of these people APP
3ointed himself a censor and had her arrested. Her APP
peal from he. Jail sentence is now pending.
More recently the play Strange Intcrlude' came to
Boston. A number Of Bostonians felt that the play was
100 improper to be allowed OH the boards OF any thcatcr.
One man felt SO deeply about it that he got a copy Of the
play and went through it looking for passages that were
ever strong for the public morals.
Having found a number of passages that seemed to him
10 be off-color. he copied them and mailed these copies
to all the %clcrgyncn in tho city. asking them to read
and denourcc the play.
4 Now here Is the funny thing about these two cases.
A TIE Rev York woman mailed out literature that she
,snsvcd to be perfectly proper and decent. Some easily
B1cc..:d recipient Of her wares had her arrested and the
courts ruled th.t she must go to tail-despite the fact
khat che did what she had done In the belief that the
material was cmincntly moral and wholesome.
II: Boston man mailed out literature that he believed
10 be indecent. Indeed. he was so sure that it was in
heccnt that he felt that no play which contained such
writing should be allowed to be presented. Yet. thus far,
30 one has taken any action against him.

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Do Animals Think?

DO animals think? Ask the man who
owns one and he will point out that his
pet dog has more sense than some
people" And by this he means that
the dog has the ability to analyZe s1tu-
ations, to make logical, sensible deduc-
tons and to behave accordingly.
Most Of the opinions referring to
mental difference between animals and
human beings on one score or another
are due to prejudice. The human being,
unacquainted with animals, is pretty
likely to assume that he Is endowed
with powers as a human being which
an animal cannot possibly possess.
Some men have habit of saying that
animal behavior is purely instructive.
And by intellectual they mean the abil-
ity to reason. Only those who really
study the. habits of animals and OF
human beings know that such sharp
classif1cations of mental processes can
not be maintained. How does it come
that such great naturalists as Hornaday
have no heSitancy in ascribing to ami
mails a certain definite ability to rea-
son, to think?
Students of human society these
days repeatedly point out that human
beings do their thinking in packs, pretty
much as all the other gregm'ious ami
mails do. You can't explaiS such be-

and crowd psychology in general on
any other principle than that of gre
gariousness, which all psychologists adj
NIT is an instinct. Those who study
animal societies find the same instinct
at work.
The only difference is this: The ami
NAL world is merely somewhat more
obedient to the law of gregariousness.
The reason for this difference between
human and animal social behavior is
not far to seek: The human being as
an individual may in consequence of
the protection which society throws
around him take more liberties. He may
vary his behavior to a greater extent
without fatal consequences.
Animals think instinctively. So do
men, with perhaps a dash of common
sense now and then, which, after all,
amounts to a few habits of a higher
order than those which the animals
have acquired.

BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

June 5, 1862.-The Potomac River is
on a rampage, due to the heavy rains
of the last few days. 1t is rising rap
idly here tonight and it is expected that
the tide before tomorrow morning VIII
rise so high as to cause a. complete
overflow of the city canal from Four
tenth street as far as Sixth street west:
Lumber and wood are being removed
from the canal banks and the Wharves.
The proprietors of various stores, antici-
pating higher water, are hastily remov-
ing their goods from cellars to places
that afford better protection.
At the navy yard tonight the water
reached the top of the wharf ana the
vessels alongside we're hauled out OF the
stream for safety.
At the corner of Missouri avenue and
Third street the water is coming up to-
ward the dwellings, but as yet no dam
age has been done.
The water has not yet reached the
top of the wharves along the Potomac
River, but it is nearing that point. The
lumber and wood merchants along the
river front are busy placing their prop
erty out of danger.
News reaching Washington from the
upper river today is not reassurlng. The
late rains have swollen streams to an
alarming extent. The Georges Creek
Valley, near Piedmont, has been totally
inundated and the bridges over various
tributary streams are reported lost. Sew
eral locks and dam of the Chesapeake
& Ohio Canal are reported destroyed.
The most serious loss thus far report
ed is the destruction of the bridge over
the Potomac River at Harpers Ferry
This is the fourth time within year
that this important structure has been
destroyed. One year ago is was burned
by order of Gen. Johnson. In August
trestling was completed and then
washed away by freshet in September
On the LIST of April of this year sec
ond structure was completed, but two
weeks later the river rose and washed
1t away.
This third disaster was repaired in
few days, and having escaped the fire
of the Confederates who menaced it
last week. it has now again been de-
stroyed by food.
