plagued with all sorts of questions.
A few weeks ago, three Russians were
detained at San Antonio because they
could not support their claim that
they were naturalized American citi-
zens. Foreign born Americans should
carry complete indentification papers
to avoid such ordeas.
Under the trade mark laws, the
importa ton of perfumes bearing q
trade mark owned and registered in
the United States is prohibited, except
with the consent Of the trade mark
owner. Since many of the best brands
of perfumes are of that class, the
labels on the bottles and on the pack
ages should be destroyed before inn
portation into the United States, as
otherwise, such perfumes are subject
to seizure.
Birds carved and made of one piece
of cattle horn in the shape OF a crane
standing on a stump, are considered
piratical copies and their importation
into the United States is prohibited.
Hookless slide fasteners, known also
as talon" and Upper" are registered
under letters patent OF the United
States and their importation is pro-
hibited except with the consent OF
the patent owners. The owners have
authorized the United States Customs
to allow the importation by passenger
in their baggage of not to exceed three
articles fitted with such features by
each passenger.
The importation Of aigrettes or other
feathers of wild birds is absolutely
prohibited unless it can be shown
to the satisfaction Of the customs au-
thorities that such articles were ac-
quired in the United States prior to
1914, in which case they can be re-
turned to the United States.

In announcing that free. entry
blanks may be obtained from the Bal
timore g. Ohio, the railroad has this
to say:
"The West offers so many unusual
advantages for vacationists to get
away from commonplace vacation
places and see new sights in gorgeous
settings, unmatched anywhere else
in the world. Then, too, the reduc-
ton in train fares and the air-co l.
ditioning Of virtually all principal
trains to the West, are two other in
ducements that have led to increased
Western travel.
7 TITLE quirks the American traveller
- might like to know about the ins
and outs Of Mexico:
Voyagers to Mexico do not require
passport. A tourist card, showing
that Mexican consul has seen the
prospective traveller and extracted the
small sum Of 81 for looking at him,
will permit him to stay as long as
six months in Mexico. In an emer-
gency, the tourist card may be OBJ
tanned at the border. but it is usually
better to secure it from the nearest
Mexican consul.
Vaccination-Despit the definite
trend toward eliminating red tape,
there still exists sanitary requirements.
However, passengers holding tourist
cards are exempt from vaccination.
Tourists must pass through the
United States Customs. The inspec-
ton is made on the train before arrival
at San Antonio in the morning. The
passengers file past the customs
chiefs, who ask if they are United
States citizens and where they were
born, carefully checking each entrant.
American customs officials are now
more lenient, but the minute they
detect a foreign accent, you are

-HERE are two schools OF
thought on how fast the
traveller should conquer the
i world with his eyes, his ears,
and, in some ports, his nose, although
usually the nose loses. The tourism
industry, trained to adjust itself to
individual tastes. graifies both the
traveller who would bolt the map and
digest it later and he who would
nibble away at it for years, with many
trips and more intimate memories.
The travel agent will book the
American straight to Paris and leave
him there to browse around In its
rich and rare atmosphere for months;
or the agent will send him on a more
ambitious expedition, touching Eng
land, the Scandinavian countries,
Poland, Russia. Germany and France;
er a tour director will take him
around the world in three months
or so, giving a contrast OF South
America and the Orient, the Holy
Land and Bali, the Philippines and
Capri. all on the same trip.
How often has the traveller wished.
inspired by sudden scene, to turn
aside to some chateau, nipping the
horizon on a distant hill? But the
trains rails lie straight ahead and,
happily for all. the engine declines
to turn where there is no curve. The
travellers destination, say, is Mar
seille, and by the grace OF God, the
French railways are going to de-
liver him there. The scene, so I'M
pulsively appealing, fades away in
the distance, perhaps forever, re-
naming haunting memory.
But there is way. The disap-
pointed traveller may bide his time and
decide to become a nibbler at the
map; become an epicure in travel and
on each trip drink deep Of the at
mosphere and charm of one Or two
delightful spots on the worlds huge
map.
ODDLY enough, there is vehicle
geared to the leisurely pace of
the map nibbler. 1t existed colncl-
dentally with the horse and buggy,
when the art Of absorbing high spots
of the countryside at so miles an hour
by automobile was unknown. Europe
has clung to this slower vehicle, the
bicycle, and it is used extensively in
Denmark, especially Copenhagen
Holland, and even Germany and
France.
Until lately. o. this side of the
water, it has been almost exclusively
the transportation of the American
boy. And it is for the American boy
and his elder brother that special
bicycle tour Of the Loire Valley, the
Garden of France" has been mapped
for this Summer by Raymond G. La
Joie, teacher and linguist. in cooper
alton with one Of the major trans-At-
lantic lines.
The objective is to introduce modern
and ancient France to the young and

undesirable, since it leads to free
doubling and redoubling, the idea be-
ing that if we set the opponents. we
increase our score; if they make it, it
doesn't cost us anything.
At the end of the game the players
hand in their tally cards to the COM
mittee and the winner is, of course, the
player with the highest (hand) plus
score. Prizes are awarded in any man
ner desired.
In preparing these instructions we
have followed the laws for party con-
tract bridge as prepared by the Ma
tional Laws and Rules Committee.
4 MOTHER interesting game for par
ties is to hold rubber bridge
tournament. A draw is arranged SINH
lar to tennis or golf tournaments.
Eight hands constitute a round, the
scoring being the same as in rubber
bridge. At the end of eight hands a
5O-point bonus is given for a partial
score and 300 points for any leg on
the rubber.
The losing pair is eliminated. The
winners proceed to the next round
until one pair is left. 1t is customary
for the players eliminated in the first
round to play in consolation tourna-
ment of their own, while those elm
mated in the later rounds just play
rubber bridge until the tournament
ends.
While progressive bridge makes
satisfactory game for almost any num-
ber of tables, rubber bridge tourna-
ment of the type just described should
not be attempted with field of more
than eight tables, since otherwise
the tournament will run too long.
Eight tables allows for simple and
steady elimination. With seven tables
the following procedure is adopted:
The seven pairs that win and the
one pair that loses by the smallest
amount in the first round qualify for
the second round, and you are now
down to four tables. The six pairs
that lose by the largest amounts in
the first round start three-table
consolation tournament. In this three
table consolation tournament the three
winners and the one loser by the
smallest amount qualify for the Sec
ond round.
If you happen to have six tables to
start with, the six winners qualify
for the second round and the six losers
for the consolation tournament, and
the procedure with each group of three
tables is the same as described pre-
viously.
With five tables, qualify five win
ners and one loser for the winners
tournament and four losers for the
consolation tournament.

D W. Il. Smith

Those of us whose mothers left
us in early childhood retain as a
sacred tradition the thought that
mother was "The finest cook that
ever lived" It's a tradition that
does us honor and surrounds the
memory of mother with an aura of
almost angelic degree.
But when our mothers have sur
vived to the time when the chill
dren have grown to manhood and
womanhood, when our judgments
have matured we are forced to adj
NIT, sadly enough, and only to
ourselves that our memory of
mother may have been exaggerated
if she ever deserved to be num-
bered among the super cooks, has
out lived it and today she must
be placed among the 'has beens."
The conviction comes to US that
mother never could make lemon
pie.
And while at times she can make
a pan of biscuits that just seem to
melt in the mouth there are other
times, all too frequent, when hel
cooking is nothing to brag about
This, of course, was because
mother cooked with guess and feel
ings rather than with knowledge
and measurement.
On the days when her emotion!
were under control and she wa!
feeling all right she was able t.

portions of the things that wen

Most ministers never say a good
thing of their parishioners until

Should we practice saying good
things of one another rather than
the opposite we would eventually
eradicate the traditional philosophy
which says, "Let him come as l
came, but never encourage them"
God called everything good. A few
days ago I learned why he called
snakes good. Scientists have dis
covered that oil of a snake is good
for the cure of cancer and paraly-

something if only oil. Thank you.

into her cooking. On other days
her hands were heavy and her
Judgment none too accurate, she
wasn't able to assemble in just the
right degree the fundamentals of
her products.
Now, that is not true of all
mothers nor of all housewives.
The truth remains. however, that
no woman, mother, wife, or daugh-
ter can cook acceptably all the time
unless she is prepared with
knowledge of the fundamentals of
cooking. She cannot serve those
dainty delightful luncheOns and
dinners so dear to the heart of the
housewife and so much appreciated
by her guests. -t
To meet the situation there has
developed the modern cooking
school" where some public sponsor,
usually some outstanding news
paper, secures an expert demon
strator and teaches many hundreds
of women attending in a group,
the science of preparing palatable
attractive meals.
That this meets an almost uni
versal want is attested by the null
titude of women who eagerly seize
an opportunity to become more ex-
pert in this favorite art of the
housewife.
Our own women by reason of
environment and natural calling
are usually good cooks. But many
would like to become better and
wish to learn the secret of unfail-
ing success and how to prepare
succulent and gratifying meals for
all occasions.
So this paper is undertaking tc
meet that desire by sponsoring q
cooking school with all the oc.
coutrements that have made that
form of education so successful and
so popular. There will be an ex
pert demonstration, one of our owr

not see fully the human blossoms
in their beauty until the plant
dies? While passing around flow
ers I shall drop one with our
colored papers of the Twin Cities,
the St. Paul Recorder and the Min

mands the interest of thousands of
colored and white readers. wish
to commend Mr.. C. E. Newman,
the editor, for his courageous and
fearless attacks on those who
would violate the rights of the
colored citizenry. Should we read
with interest the editorial notes
we will find wherein he labors
faithfully with one great objective
to bring about clearer and better
racial understanding between the
white and colored people.
I am deeply impressed with the
philosophical statement in which
Mr.. W. M. Smith, staff writer,
made with reference to efficiency
as the means with which we may
safeguard our employment. His
choice of Mr.. Whatley as an ex-
ample was timely. We know Mr..

on our problems. I am grateful
that. so many people buy the Re

unusual example of the coopera-
