was diminished in him. He wilted like frost
bitten lettuce. He was no longer completely
proud to be Otto Meyer, chef of Muller's.
He had failed to impress Minna, and therefore
he had failed utterly.
He reached the state where to stand in line
with a hundred others and receive the ac-
acknowledgement of cold royal eye as he passed
by, deeply obeisant, seemed more desirable
to him than to see approval and comradery
beaming jovially from the same eye in wine
flushed face, and to hear the royal voice say,
"A splendid ragout, Meyer. Never tasted bet-
ter Splendid"
Now, Meyer was a patriot, but with dis
stance, that French cooking, on the whole,
was better than German. Regrettable, but
fact The Germans, to be srre cooked game
better. There were Rhenish wines, dry and
flowery, more to his taste for certain uses than
any wines of Bordeaux or Burgundy. But on
the whole - yes, on the whole - Germany
could learn something from France And when
it came to hotel and restaurant admmistra-
ton - we'll, Meyer had had his training in
Zurich and Lausanne. No one could beat the
Swiss. They knew how to organize. And Meyer
argued shrewdly that if stock in Swiss hotels
was the best one could buy, stock in the Swiss
commonwealth was probably equally good.

So when the patriot Meyer bought bonds and
industrial stocks, he bought them in Switzer-
land.
During and after the war, Mullers had had
hard times. Meyerdorf, with the dividends of
his Swiss investments prodigiously swollen
into marks. had acquired a controlling interest
in the famous Inter den Linden restaurant.
During the brief false prosperity of the infla-
tion, bloated war profiteers had eaten his
sauces, drunk his wines. and poured money
into his till. He was shrewd one, was Mey-
erdorf, and saw the defation as imminent.
So he sold out.
And this was the reason why, in 1924, he
owned the baronial estate of Birkenbach.
and. fulfilling Minna's desire, was country
gentleman.
In part payment for relinquishing his stock
in the restaurant, he had taken fifty thousand
bottles of wine from the famous Muller Gel
lars. There were ruby burgundies and clarets
imported from France. The .Johannisberger
cabinets and the vintage Deideshein,e,s we're
almost priceless. Some of them had been listed
on the restaurant bills of fare at fifty dollars
a bottle.
Birkenbach was real Junker estate. Its
hundred and fifty acres lay in the Mark Brand
enburg, three hours by motor from Berlin. 1t
had Great Hall with gallery and dozen
chamois heads. sixty faience stoves like ex-
aggerated vegetable dishes, a large and gloomy
dining room. deer park and impeccable neigh
bors. Within radius of twenty-five miles
there was not landholder with less than eight
perfect heraldic quarterings. They were so
impeccable that all the females wore pompa-
dours, English costumes of gray suitings. and
boned net collars. Meyerdorf did not have
single neighbor who was not member of the
German Nationalist Party and who did not
class Stresen,ann as another of those COM
munsts."
But for several months Meyerdorf and
Mmna were so busy redecorating the house
that they had no time to think about their
neighbors. Meyerdorf's ideas of grandeur were
exclusively derived from fashionable restau-
rants He ran to scarlet damask, white and
gold furniture, rich ceilings. and great many
electric lights in sparkling crystal chandeliers.
But his most radical innovations were in the
kitchens. Dingy plaster walls were replaced
by sparkling tiles. Wide shelves of oiled oak,
with cupboards and drawers underneath and
innumerable plugs for emergency electrical
cooking apparatus above, ran completely
around the room. The floor was of cork. except
around the stove. where it was tiled, as was
the stove itself Indeed, the newly established
country gentleman spent so much time deco
rating the back part of the house that his wife
remarked gloomily, "You will never get out

other wall to be hung with damask, not an
other chair to be gilded, not another copper

snob He had been familiar with himself as
Otto and as Meyer from his birth. Just when
the 'dorf' ennobled his name he himself could
no longer remember, and the martial Hell
muth. the cultured Wolfgang had been added
years ago. But the non had been slipped in on
the day that he bought ''Birkenbach" for ten
thousand billion marks (paper). That was also
the day on which he became country gentle
man. Previously he had been cook
Helmuth o. w. Won Meyerdorf, at the mo-
ment Won Birkenbach, had not always been
snob. Indeed, it is question how deeply his
snobbery was rooted. Ii began to show itself
in the prosperous years following his marriage
to we'll do innkeeper' s daughter. Although
her father owned handsome Gasthaus in one
of the best resorts of the Schwarzwald, and
although Minna had never engaged in less re-
fined work than sitting behind the desk and
adding up the bills, still her marriage to Otto
Meyer was step up in the world. For Herr
Meyer was cook, and that is to say head chef,
at the famous Muller's on Inter den Linden,
in Berlin. In the days when he was Meyer and
not Meyerdorf, the Kaiser himself, and oftener
the Crown Prince, would sometimes engage
private dining rooms in that palace of scarlet
damask, ormulu, and gold. And Meyer had
the satisfaction of knowing that nowhere on
the commanding continent could one eat
better than at Mjller's. where he was chef.
When the Crown Prince let it be known
that he would honor the restaurant by having
little supper party there after the Opera, no
one was prouder than Herr Meyer. As he
walked through the vast and cleaning hall,
minions bowed to the right and minions to
the left. When he paused before vast table

The Upper from throat to hemline

MAGICAL SHOW
AT YIN. A.

Fascinating chemistry demon
Strations that run the gamut from
black magic to cold light, metals
that burn, fires started by a liquid
and many other seemingly magical
stunts will be included in the
chemistry show of scientific won
ders to be presented through the
boys department in the assembly
hall of the Y, M. C. A. building
February 26, at 1880 p. m.
The travelling show, offered by
the Franklin Institute of Phila-
delphia, has adopted a method
used by Benjamin Franklin to
popularize science, by showing its
application to everyday life.
More than three dozen demon
Strations will be presented during
the hour and one-half perform
ance and will be supplemented by
a graphic motion picture on alloys
and a sound film with running
com m entary entitled Brute
Strength Comes to Town"
Among some of the interesting
exhibitions to be shown are how
a kettle boils on ice; springs made
of lead; roses crumbling into dust;
a piece of cloth as brittle as a
soda cracker; rubber balls that
skaters into numerous pieces
when dropped on the floor, and
other chemical tricks, used in the
days of witchcraft and sorcery.

Truth, once more, Is stranger
than fiction.
The latest evidence in support
of this old axiom is found in the
Administration Building Of the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice here in Washington and in
the photoplay, Green Light" p"
now on the Earle Theater screen.
The fiction, in this case, is
found in the screen story of a
young doctor-Newell Paige-who
inoculates himself with the brew
of deadly spotted fever ticks, risk
ing his life to discover whether
or not he has found a vaccine to
overcome the dread disease, which
means certain death.
Goes to Hospital
Paige goes to the Government
laboratory in Montana after he
loses his position with a big city
hospital. His fearless experiment
brings together the central char
acters of the story and brings
about the solution to the prob
lens of their tangled lives.
The truth is that right here in
Washington is a man-Dr. r. r.
Spencer, of the U. S. Public
Health Service-who performed a
similar daring experiment, one
which, no doubt, inspired Lloyd
Douglas when he wrote the origi-
nal story of Green Light" The
scenes in the Government labora-
tory at Hamilton, Mont.-scenes
which bring to a dramatic climax
all the events Of the story are
based on actual facts.
DR.. Spencer went to Hamilton
in 1922, sent by the Public Health
Service to fight the dread disease
which was the enemy of sheep
herderS, loggerS, miners, proSpec-
tors. forest workers and vacation
lists. Ten years before, McClintic,
another doctor from the Public
Health Service, had died fighting
the ticks-"dermacentor ander-
Soni"-the bite of which meant
death from a raging fever that
struck with a terrible Swiftness. A
Montana physician, McCray had
tried to find a spotted fever
serum-and lost his life. And
every year, as spring came around
men whose work took them into
the slopes near Boone Mountain
contracted the disease, until whole
ranches were deserted and homes
abandoned.
Tries New Vaccine
For two years, Spencer worked
with the ticks. He watched his lab
oratory assistant, Gettinger, die
with spotted fever. So did two
others die, Cowan and Kerlee
Then Spencer decided to try a vac,
cine, made by brewing the actual

ticks, adding weak carbolic acid
and hoping against hope for sue
cess.
The vaccine worked with the
guinea pigs in the laboratory.
Monkeys should have been expert
mented with next; man last of all.
But Spencer did not wait.
On May 19, 1924, he shot into
his arm enough of the brew of
spotted fever ticks to have killed
5000 guinea pigs-unleSs the addi-
ton of the weak carbolic acid had
in some way killed the virus. Sound
science said that it had not. Spen-
Ger believed that it had.
The successful result Is medical
history. Through Spencer's work,
and the work of McClintic, Nc
Cray, Ricketts,, Parker, Gettinger,
Cowan, Kerlee and the rest,
spotted fever had been licked. To-
day, the vaccine is made in suf-
ficient quantities to take care Of
everyone in the area where the
deadly ticks are found.
Spencer is now in Washington
as a senior surgeon of the U. S.
Public Health Service. The mod
ern laboratory, built by the Gov.
ernment to carry on the work and
manufacture Of the vaccine, is
located at Hamilton and is shown
in the photoplay.
