Now is the time, if you wish to be a
hundred per center Orientalist, to
serve the rice course. After that will
come the bean sprout soup, and last of
all Chinese tea.
But l know that you will want at
this point to consider American pref
erences. So forget about the rice and
the second soup. A tart ice of any sort,
fresh fruit, conserved fruit, or Chinese
candy will be suitable substitutes. The
candy you can easily make for your

gether in clumps by the least amount
of sugar syrup that will do the trick.

MAGAZINE
BUT NOT CHOP SUEY - by Grace Turner

AN EXCELLENT idea for party
A giving comes from Evelyn
Z Keyes, the young Atlanta girl
who just a short while ago won her
first star part as motion-picture ac-
tress, when she was cast for the leading
feminine role in the new picture, ''Sons
of the Legion"
Last summer on visit to Atlanta,
Evelyn feasted like hunger victim on
the Southern specialties she's been
longing for in Hollywood. When she
thinks of giving party for her
Atlanta friends, however, her idea is
to do something different but equally
appealing.
If we're visiting in Atlanta and
giving dinner for my friends there, I
would not serve the dear Southern
dishes which they get all the time.
I'd plan something else that would be
novel and exciting. A Chinese meal,
for instance, would be fun or
Hawaiian one" Evelyn says.
This is a smart thing to do, es-
pecially for the debutante crowd and
the young married set. OF the two
suggestions, however, that of the
Chinese menu is more practical, be-
cause you can choose dishes for which
the ingredients are readily available
no matter where you live.
But you would probably want to
make certain adjustments in the
courses; for meal that is genuinely
Chinese from start to finish begins and
ends with soup, with rice Immediately
preceding the final soup. In China rice
indicates that the meal is coming to
close.
However, let me give you menu
and suggest variations. Your hors
d'oeuwes will be quite simple, con-
sisting of peanuts, watermelon seeds
if these are available, paper thin
slices of ham and candied walnuts.
Next comes Birds Nest Soup-a
savory course, quite different from any
thing the odd Chinese title suggests.
Fish follows, as it might at an
american table. But this is sweet
sour fish which gets its intriguing
flavor from the soy sauce, vinegar, and
sugar which are among the ingredients
Evening star., 1938-09-25

The Chinese also use sesame seeds
with the peanuts; but the peanuts will
do nicely alone
Including the birds nest soup. this
meal should cost about four dollars.
Without it, you can keep the cost
down to three.

There will be two meat courses in

Lions Club
Movement
Profitable

A GROUP OF angry men met fl
n Shelby last September to voice
resentment and 10 formulate 8
strong protest TO a newspaper pub
Usher who had written an editorial
which stung them.
The editorial was prophetic in
its warning Of a serious situation
that confronted the Montana oil
industry, and emphatic In its sug-
gestion Of a remedy.
The Montana oil producers had
just lost their most important
market.
The Turner Valley field, in Al
berfa, Canada, had recently come
I'm with large flowing wells.
Imperial OH Ltd and British
American Oil Refinerfes. Ltd, who
had taken the bulk OF the crude
produced in the Cut Bank and
Kevfn-Sunburst fields, since 1891.
had served notice that they would
cease buying Montana oil and
would get their supplies henceforth
from Turner Valley field.
An E0fbSFt&f &F&sf@HM&
The editorial took to task the
people OF Shelby and Too1e county
for narrowing still further the mar
ket for Montana crude by buying
a large part Of their gasoline from
sources outside the state.
Further, IT challenged them TO
support the industry and make q
home market for Montana crude
by demanding aAd buying only gas
oline made from that crude.
The editorial struck home, and
the TooIe county citizens did not
like It. The group that met to pro
test was the Shelby Lions club,
but the protest was never made.
In the midst Of the meeting, q well
known oil producer rose to his feet
and said:
Let's wake up. Instead of kick
ing, let's do something to make a
market for Montana oil. Let's get
busy and make them all use Mon
tana-made gasoline"
That turned the tide.
People listened, considered, and
approved HIS words. Anger was
transformed then and there into
the determination to rally the $780,
600 people of Montana in a crusade
to buy Montaua-made gasoline and
save the states oil industry.
The Campaign Starts
That was this start OF the buy
gasoline-made-from-MOntan crude
which has developed in
to one Of the most remarkable in
history, as the figures show.
In October, 1887, only S. per
cent of the gasoline consumed In
Montana was made in Montana re-
ineries, snd IS per cent came from
)ther states.
Seven months later. in May, 1888, i
Montana rehneries supplied SO per
,ent of the states consumption. In z
act, production and consumption
balanced, for, while g.
100000 gallons were brought in
rom other states, about the same
mount was shipped out by Mon
ana retiners to their distributors
utside the state.
In the first three months OF 1888,

FITZGERALD HEADS ROOSEVELT LODGE.
Machinists' Assn Holds Annual Meeting; Civic
 Courses Advocated

Jeremiah J. Fitzgerald was elected chairman of Roosevelt lodge, Inter- national Association of Machinists at the annual meeting last night in the lodge rooms. Plans were made for the installation of Fitzgerald and other officers January 13. Thomas Brennan spoke on municipal and school conditions in Waterbury.
 Other officers chosen were: Vice. chairman, Henry Smoley; recording secretary, William Sheriff; financial secretary Howard King; treasurer, Victor Engvall; conductor. Lester Brodeur; sentinel, Joseph Brevetti; trustees, John Butler and William Birmingham.
 MT. Brennan urged that more civics courses be included in the curricula of the local schools. He pointed out that poor administra- tions can be traced to lack of know ledge in civics and government ad- ministration by officials.
