HONG KONG, Oct. IL QN.SO.
japanese troops, 10000 strong,
speedily accomplished the first
aim of their South China invasion
tonight when they blew up three
bridges on the Canton-H Hong Kong

Airplanes swopping in from

the line, one Of the Most impor-

So swift was the japanese land

for stout resistance, however, and
heavy reinforcements are being
moved up from Canton to Wal

Fears that Canton soon may

When Cortez returned to Spain
from Mexico 400 years ago, he
brought back new beverage
called "chocolatl' by the natives
Thus was introduced into Spain
what we know today as chocolate.
The drink became very popular
in Spain, but for many years the
SpaniardS would not reveal the
secret of how they extracted
"chocolatl' from the cacao bean.
PASSED ACROSS BORDER
In 1906 Antonio. Carletti intro
duced the drink in Italy. 1t passed
across the border into Austria and
was introduced into France by
Anne of Austria when she mar
ried Louis XIII. The use of choco-
late was known in England and
Germany in the Seventeenth cen
fury when chocolate houses were
in high vogue. However, cacao
beans were to be obtained only
through Spain from her posses
Sions in Central America and the
West Indies, so the price was high.
The term cacao refers to the
raw bean; chocolate to the manu-
featured product when it appears
in solidified form; cocoa to the
pulverized cacao bean from which
part of the cacao butter has been
removed.
GROWS IN LARGE PODS
The cacao tree grown only in
the tropics, today it is cultivated
in South America, the East Indies
and Africa. The bean resembles
a large shelled almond. Twenty
to 40 beans are found in one large
pod, which looks like an elon-
gated cantaloupe, from 8 to IL
inches long and about 4 inches
wide.
The pods are cut from the tree
by hand when ripe. The beans are
imbedded in a moist white pulp.
All of it is scooped out on banana
leaves Or cocoanut mating and
left to stew in it's own juice"

MEYERS, DONT'S
ABOUT COOKING

Never cook reheated meats too
long. Never fry leftover roast.
Don't ever crowd vegetables in
the refrigerator as the fibers may
be bruised. Rather take the time
to place vegetables in additional
bags or containers. 1t is best when
placed in storage at a. degrees.
Ne, or over-chill pastry. It will
crack when rolled and it is then
difficult to handle. Never squeeze
orange juice at night to serve for
breakfast, because that causes 10
per cent or more loss Of its vita
min value even though it stands
covered in a refrigerator. This ap-
plies to tomato juice as well.
Don't remove cakes from pans
until they are cool; those contain
ing fat should be left right side
up, at least Is minutes. Angel food
cakes and sponge cakes should be
inverted on racks until cool.
