FOLK COOKERY FOUND

LONDON, August 7.-Centuries
have handed down folk cookery in
the villages and towns Of Scotland
and England. Some Of the names
Of these dishes are strange to the
average visitor. The scone Of Scot
land is more known than the Cornish
paste and the Kentish pie. The ma
jority OF American travellers have
never heard Of Goosnagh cakes from
Lancashire; rye loaves and rum butter
from Cumberland.
From Bakewell come the famous
pudding, cakes from Banbury, ban
nocks from Selkirk and jellied eels
from Bishopsgate. The secrets Of
frumenty, sillabubs. star-gazey pie,
salmagundy and singin hinnies will
be divulged oftentimes to visitors to
the villages, and If they are lucky,
visitors will be able to sample Queen
Henrietta's Morning Broth and the
little white manchets.

WORLD DRAWING
AUGUST TOURIST
Nearby Foreign Lands and
American Resorts Prov.
ing Popular.

NEW YORK, August THE month
Of August promises to set new travel
records. according to the Monthly
Survey Forecast on world travel ten
denotes released this week by the
American Express Co.
Notable in the coming months
schedules is the increased number Of
de luxe and popular-priced long dis
tance tours. with thousands seeking
voyages OF discovery in nearby foreign
lands.
The tendency to avoid early Sum-
mer crowds and tour Europe in late
Summer is creating a Midsummer
travel sput for all steamship lines.
Indications OF an even 100 per cent
general increase in passenger traffic
to the ports Of the Mediterranean are
this week reported by the American
Export and the Italian Lines. with
liners booked to capacity up to early
Fall.
West Indies Popular.
Prominent in the short cruise pic
ture is the disregard of North and
South latltudes for August voyagers
whereby cruises to equatorial West
Indies are receiving the same heavy
patronage as the destinations of
Nova Scotia, Saguenay River and the
Gaspe region of Northern Canada.
The seasons calendar, by reverse
climatic conditions. is adding to South
Americas new cruise popularity with
the Midwlnter special cruise sailings
OF the Italian liner Rex and the
French liner Normandie we'll booked
for their West Indies, East Coast South
America cruises to Rio de Janeiro.
Capltallzlng on South Americas
Sprlngtime season, special Autumnal
cruises are being listed by the Grace
Line for West Coast cities. August
cruise bookings to Mexico, Panama
Zone and to Pacific Coast ports
greatly exceed last season While all
steamship lines report de luxe accom-
modations at premium, the ocean
vagabond freighters from all Europe
and America are practically sold out
for 1887 into the Spring OF 1888.
American Facilities Taxed.
The domestic holiday rush is in full
swing, with all facilities taxed to
near capacity, as reported from rail
and bus lines from coast to coast.
All resort points on the North
American compass are having their
distances annihilated by speed trains
and airplanes.
Train tours to Mexico exceed all
Summer records. where from Chi
cago and st. Louis through air-condi-
toned Pullmans are beckoning an esti-
mate as high as 40 per cent increase
In tourist traffic below the border.
Throughout the West Pacific Coast
resorts report their largest number of
train tour passengers, with Southern
California receiving an average of 80
special Pullman tour parties a day,
A notable innovation of Summer
domestic travel is the increasingly
large number of motorists who are
shipping their automobiles to distant
resort regions. The month witnesses
the largest invasion OF American
visitors to Canada, with both East
ern and Western provinces reporting
their largest attendance.

But the story behind all this is that

done ABOUT the elevators for a long

and grounds committee of the State
government warning that the elcva-

that the fixing be done.
Despite Mr.. SCOTS repeated re-
quests, the accidents of the past two

been made safe for democracy or for
anybody else.

No violinist's name has lived as

tonic Stradivari, who died 2OO years
ago today at the age of 80.
The violins this illiterate pupil Oh
another great violin maker, Nlcoio
Amati, produced in his small shop IN
Cremona, sold in his time for the
equivalent of $50 today. Now, good
5tradivari violin, violincello, viola or

Stradivari made with his own hands
about 1900 of them, or which figures
out as $1,2O 100000 worth at the pres
ent rate.
Of course, not all of them survive
today, and not all of those that 90 sur
vive are worth 100000. He had his
off days, too. But Stradivari's clever
less with wood and glue and varnlsh,
combined with Cremona's climate,
very favorable to violin-making, did
produce instruments worth millions in
money, and billions in pleasure, to the

Daily Dispatch Bureau.
I'm the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Dec 18.-Any excitement
over condition of the elevators of the
Department of Agriculture building is
nothing more than a tempest in tea
pot, according to Assistant Director
Of the Budget r. G. Deyton, Jr
Reports have been current that two
recent accidents in the buildings ele-
vators occurred after Commissioners
w. Kerr Scott had repeatedly warn
ed that the lifts were unsafe and that
nothing had . cen done as a result OF
these warnings.
Mr.. Deyton categorically denied
these reports. He said that after re-
port of the elevators condition had
been made by Mr.. Scott the matter
was thoroughly investigated and that
all three elevators in the building were
carefully inspected by representatives
of the Otis Elevator Company and by
Engineer Rothgeb for the State.
The conditions of which Mr.. Scott
had complained were corrected, Mr..
Deyton said, and the elevators put in
to first rate sha pc. They passed every
test of safety.
The two recent accido ntS were not
due to any defect in the elevators,
Mr.. Deyton contended, bat to causes
entirely within control of the Depart
ment of Ag ~iculture
The freight elevator fc.l recently
because it was greatly overloaded"
with cotton. Mr.. Deyton said. No seri-
Gus damage was done and nothing at
all would have happened if too great
a load had not been put upon the
machinery, according to the director
of the budget.
The elevators have again been in
spected and are il. safe condition, he
concluded.
