The New Crisis in Europe,

From the New York Herald Tribune.
1t would be folly to underestimate
the crisis into which Adolf Hitler's pre-
cipitate withdrawal from the Disarma-
ment Conference and from the League
has plunged Europe. Yet no watchful
observer Of the European scene can
regard either the episode or the re-
sultant tensity in the capitals OF the
continent as surprising.
True, the foreign policy Of Hitlerism
has been built upon different formula.
Germany may have gone far in her
preparations for war-just how far the
world will know better if and when the
French government decides to publish
its secret dossier on the subject But a
temporizing policy pending a completion
of armament and a careful avoidance
for the present of an armed clash
seemed to be the unmiStakable pref
erence of the chancellor.
Thus 1t is accurate to say that Ger
many was perhaps better prepared for
the present blunt defiance than was the
rest of Europe. Precisely here, however,
Is a perennial source of peril for the
peace of the world. What a political
leader may prefer to do internationally
and what he may be forced to do by the
pressure Of domestic politics are two
totally different things. Not enough Is
known here of the intra-party politics of
the Nazis to justify a guess that the
chancellor has seized upon a suitable
international moment in order to con-
solidate his position at home The cleo
ton that is proposed for November IL
is, of course, sorry Jest. A fair bal
loting in the Germany of today is as
completely impossible as would be any
free discussion Of the real issues. But
such demonstration of solidarity might
serve a useful purpose in domestic
politics, however fatuous it might appear
abroad.
Therefore it is fair to say that the
news from Berlin is at once alarming
and unsurprising. 1t is merely an ex-
cellent example of the sort of dangerous
episode which might happen at any
moment upon any one of several
frontiers or within any one of several
chancelleries. The basic tension is high
and continuous. The forces making for
peace are real and persistent League or
no League. But there is no miStaking
the fact that the rise of Hitlerism has
hastened the revival of fundamental
clash between forces which the World
War tested and for the time being
exhausted but did not extinguish.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TR4CEWELL.

/ Quantity holds no real place at tlni.
table, but only quality, and the quality
of the consumer Is as important q;
that of the dish.
A Spartan simplicity is necessary, Il
one is to arise refreshed from this SIM
/ pie American feast
y y
There are delicate contrasts here.
This Is rhapsody in foods, a
melange mystical, as Whitman woulc
call it: a combination of organic and
inorganic; a satisfaction of taste subtly
| leading on to esthetic ends.
No doubt this is food, but ali! % DIFF
ferent.
wethinks those who bake real pump
kin pies are poets with materials, sing
ing the true fresh songs of the fro5er
earth
Every kitchen is a research labora-
tory when it produces this delicacy
with the genuine flavor.
If Hitler could put all the German
women back into the kitchen baking
nothing but pumpkin pies, there might
be some sense in what he Is doing
That famous flavor Of the real pie Is
no easy thing to produce, though many
'bIllIlk tLley nave AC0leVeQ II.
The real flavor Is like the salt In
ocean air, something elusive yet keen
something which saturates moderately
but puts itself all through the product
beyond reasonable doubt.
Just as one thinks of salt when he
thinks of the sea breeze, SO he thinks
Of that keen edge Of true favor when
he thinks of pumpkin pie.
There are some sections of the coun-
try which produce that flavor better
than others.
Modesty forbids us to name that sec.
tion. but we will say that 1t also pro-
duceS the best fried chicken.
Something in the heat of the Sum-
mers. and the cold of the Autumn, in
the very air, tends to bring out the over
soul, as it were, of the finest pumpkin
and the best fried chicken.
Residents of other places may think
they have tasted the real flavor, but il
Is just another one Of the many mis-
takes of humanity.
The true pumpkin flavor is unique
No one ever forgets 1t, having once
tasted it. 1t is that sort of thing.

We have said, and endlessly repeat
that to enjoy good food one must be
warm.
This holds particularly true of the
best pumpkin pies.
To sit in a restaurant or any other
place with a wind blowing down the
back of ones neck is to be i'll at ease
when one should be the perfect epicure
Ventilation is good but scarcely nee
esSary, when one is eating pumpkin pie
Let the winds remain on their hills
and over their great expanses of water
Here, in cozy nook, your own or
some one else's, let a chill slice OF
pumpkin pie compete with q cold glass
of milk, while the diner sits warm and
snug before all the blasts that blow.
This is the way to enjoy pumpkin
pie, and there is no other way. This is
the perfect bigotry of the man who
knows his pies and means to get the
most from them in the best way.
He brooks no counter opinion. The
pie is either the real thing, or it isn't
and he Is the happy judge. Let those
who will have lemon, peach or apple
here's to the king of pies, the subtle
perfect pumpkin.

| Salads for hot weather, pie for cold
Such is the seasonal routine of many
| consumers who particularly like a nice
slice of pie as Winter comes on.
No doubt the growth of the pumpkin
had a great deal to do with it.
Though salads are good for one the
year around, and though pies of all
types may be made at any season, there
| Is little question that Autumn seems
peculiarly appropriate for the world
| famous pu-"1pkin.
Not only has all rustic poetry of our
great Nation, since the beginning, sung
| the praises of the unadulterated pump
kin pie, there has been an innate dis
position toward it on the part of every
| diner. too.
We never have heard of any one who
actually disliked this great dish.
Thousands of city people never have
tasted the true article, even have been
brought up on spice pies, nlasquerading
| as pumpkin, still they profess love
for it.
Certainly with a glass of cold milk,
and preferably served cold itself, slice
of the real article makes a dish no man
can forget.
Warm pumpkin pie is good. but cold
is better
A cold day. and cold slice of pie,
with a cold glass OF milk, the colder the
better-what gustatory delight is
greater2
Everything else must be warm. how
ever.
The room must be warm, the plates
warm, the dinner comfortable.
What, indeed, is more misery than to
dine cold?
Nothing, of course, except not to dine
at all, but that Is getting ahead OF our
theme, which is simply pumpkin pie.
What theme, and what pie!
A neat slice, not too wide, but not
too thin, on cold plate in a warm
room there is a dietary prescription
which beats most diets all hollow.
There is nothing hollow about real
pie, and especially about a pumpkin pie
which has been made by an expert out
Of genuine ingredients and totally ul-
adulterated.
For a real satisfying meal, commend
us to pumpkin pie, and we will be in
the eminently satisfactory state of the
great Omar when he wondered what
the winners bought one-half as precious
as the wine they sold.
To serve this pie, as is so commonly
done, at the end of an otherwise salts
factory meal, Is to lose the true flavor
fresh from the vine.
1t must be q meal by itself. If one is
to get the tang of it as well as the full
body of it.
There is subtle flavor of open fields,
fresh air, white clouds, blue skies; there
is wind and rain and good rich soil,
and oxygen in plenty; there is every
thing that is good and clean and whole
some in the round of fresh pumpkin
pie.
\ \
More than any other pie, many will
think, this one holds all of Nature
that is good, that is refreshing, that is
wholesome.
Holds it ell, that is, if the consumer
comes to this treat with hearty appe-
tite, and is willing to go away from the
table with part of it unsatisfied.
One must not be pig, and especially
three little pigs, in regard to this
crowning dish of the entire Autumn.

Creating More Jobs.

The aim of the new Federal Civil
Works Administration is apparently to
remove some OF the Objectionable fea-
lures which the dole" connotes, but at
the same time to continue direct Fed
eral unemployment aid in a way that
viii put more men gainfully to work
and give the taxpayers more tangible
evidence of where their money goes
Under this plan there will be retained
the made work" feature of unemploy-
ment relief, and men must give q days
labor in return for Government as
sistance. But instead of being paid
starvation wages for a few days made
work the effort will be made to pay
men the prevailing wage rates for full
time work 1t is, of course, tre-
mendous undertaking. Those responsible
for the idea hope to see 1000 900 men
taken from the relief rolls through the
Winter and put on pay rolls. The
money for the pay rolls, until private
employment picks up, will continue to
be furnished by the Federal Govern
ment on some basis of matching it
with local funds.
The Emergency Relief Administra-
ton. naturally, has found the task of
doing money out to the States for di-
rect relief an endless one. without i'm
piled criticism, it can be said that the
relief administration has been busily
engaged since last Spring In pouring
dollars down rat holes. The condition
OF the beneficiaries of Federal relief has.
m&nifestly, been vastly improved. 1t is
not known what might have happened
had there been no Federal aid. But
the more money spent on relief, the
greater has seemed the demand for
more money.
At the same time, the Public Works
Administration has encountered diff
Guilty in spending that portion of its
funds set aside for public works to be
undertaken in conjunction with the
cities, counties and States. In the
States and cities, already heavily in
debt, the taxpayers have not been overly
enthusiastic over getting themselves
more heavily In debt, even under the
lenient terms imposed by the Federal
Government. Under the newly created
agency known as the Federal Civil
Works Administration, $4o0, ,ooo, 900 win
be made available from the Public
Works Administration to pay men and
women, now on relief rolls. full days
wages for work that the States, counties
and municipalities may provide for
them. The work viii be in the nature
Of social betterment. It viii doubtless
be work that would not be provided for
ut this time out OF current budget ex-
penditures.
The District Of Columbia is included
with States and municipalities under
this plan. The Commissioners are now
studying improvements and projects
that might be undertaken with this
Federal aid. They viii presumably be
able to match the Federal relief money
out Of money available for employment
relief. One form of work that should
ind general favor is the improvement
Of school Fairgrounds, many Of which,
covered with cinders, are as unattractive
to the eye as they are hazardous for the

The States Obligation to Teachers

This has been Education week" in
the United States. Throughout the
country the subject of the training of
the younger Americans was under dis
cussion. The state of the school sys-
TENS was analyzed. Remedies for the
ills from which they are suffering were
examined The lack of proper support
of the schools was deplored. The
whole subject has been treated as q
national problem Of the first i'm
portance.
Some of the speakers on programs
arranged for the observance Of the
week" took sharp issue with the
methods employed In the schools, others
stressed as most deplorable the in
crease in the cost of maintenance
others the failure Of important centers
to provide adequately for the pay oi
teachers, shockingly in arrears
When the historian of the future
surveys the situation of the public edu-
cational system of this country during
the decade now passing he will find
some astonishing lapseS in the duty Of
community and State properly to main
tain the system of education. 1t i,
not Of first consequence that there have
been extravagances in the extension
of the curriculum, and perhaps ir
some cases in the provision and equip.
ment of school buildings. The collapse
of the financial foundation in many
places is the principal fault.
The school teacher is charged with a
weighty responsibility, for the proper
development of the younger generation
not merely in point of learning but in
character building and in the estab-
lishment of the right ideals. To nc
other public servant does the COM
munity owe greater obligation. And
yet the compensation of teachers il
pruned and 1t is often in default. The
spectacle Of the teachers of Chicago
whose pay is many months in arrears
and who may eventually lose a large
part Of their dues, is one to make Amer.
leans ashamed of the failure of tn,
system of democratic government.
4 Education week this year should
, through its observances and demon
strations, bring about an awakening O
public consciousness in respect to th'
