triton experts from all over Eng
land.
A speaker on the program was M.
Emile Aymoz, maitre chef des cui-
sines at one of London's largest
and most exclusive hotels. The
speech was made in French, but an
English translation which reached
me has proved to contain many
matters of interest to us here in
the United States.
The theme of M. Aymoz's talk was
that "the cooks of today make the
nation of tomorrow" He maintains
that the sentiments voiced by Jean
Brillat-Savarin, one of the greatest
of epicures, are based upon sound
thought-"The fate of nations hangs
upon their choice of food"
All this would seem by way of
glorifying the job of cooking and
lifting it into important fields all
over the world. This has. of course,
long been the opinion of gourmets,
but M. Aymoz goes even further
he contends that the plainest of
plain cooks" has duty to per-
form to her country, and thus all
women who needs must spend time
in the kitchen come under the head
Of builders of the nation.
Point of View
Interesting.
This point OF view is a most in
teresting one (although not entirely
newD M. Aymoz talks plain" and
his remarks about American cook
ing are particularly apt. He ad-
mires extremely the American OBJ
servance of Thanksgiving and feels
that it is pity England and France
do not set aside one day every year
to give thanks for the bounties with
which Nature has provided them.
He cites American plain cooking"
as the height of culinary perfec-
ton, which. coming from chef of
his distinction, is praise indeed.
Especially he mentions our planked
steak and, amusingly, "the famous
United States hamburger"
However, he deplores "dunking"
as an American habit, insisting that
food, SO softened, is bad for the
teeth and the digestion. He also
states that Americans are the only
people who appreciate good coffee
whereas the French are the only
people who can make good coffee!
Mr.. Aymoz insists that bad cook
ing causes altogether too many di-
vorces; if plenty of cookery schools
were established, at low cost of tut
tion, there would be happier mar
riages that lasted far longer. He
remarks, pithily, "A man may lavish
his love and money on a flighty

Various WAYS
To Soften
Water
Many Preparations
On the Market to
Turn the Trick
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

If the water you use for your skin
is not as soft as 1t should be there
are various methods Of softening it.
Borax soothes greasy skins and is
slightly antiseptic. It should be
added in the proportion Of one tea
spoonful to pint Of water, or two
teaspoonfuls to small basin should
be sufficient.
Glycerin also tends to soften wa
ter and smooth, protect and moisten
the skin, but it must be diluted one
teaspoonful to pint of water. Un-
diluted glycerin is very irritating, so
never use it that way.
Rain water, caught in pail,
boiled and strained through
cloth, is excellent to keep on hand
for shampoos and face washings if
you wish to have nice complexion.
Bottle it in large gallon containers
and use it as you need it.
Toilet vinegars serve as mild as
tringents, and when they are added
to washing water they ease face red
ness, if that is one of your skin
problems.
Very greasy and sluggish skins are
aided by being washed in distilled
water to which has been added a
few drops of fluid extract Of rose,
lavender or orange, which you may
buy at good chemists or drug
store.
OF course, there are many WELL
prepared water softeners for the
bath available, and as they are
usually nicely scented they are we'll
worth the money you spend on
them. Bath salts and oils, bubble
baths, effervescent tablets and fra
grant powders are all widely used.
They range in price from 25 cents
to as high as Sl0-depending upon
the quality of essence used in them.
But if your beauty budget does
not permit bath water luxuries you
may soften the water with borax, a
bit of perfumed ammonia, occa-
sionally a scent box of ordinary
household baking soda with borax,
bath starch or oatmeal bags,

Sterilize Bottles

Unless the babys milk bottles
are completely covered by water
when sterilized they will not be
germ proof. Better have at least
inches of water above the bot
ties when starting to boil. If the
bottles bob in the water, weight
them down.

perfect gift for the modern mother
Remember that it lis an individual
and outstanding gift-and nothing
is too good for her on that special
day.
Atomizer Is
Perfect Gift.
We can never stop exclaiming over
the usefulness of atomiZers as gifts.
When all else fails and there's not
an idea left in your troubled head,
look to them as the solution of your
problem. You may buy very fancy
ones, those suitable-and almost in
dispensable-for travelling, and now,
inexpensive cologne atomizers that
will prove to be joy during the
warm weather. These new types are
large, rounded bottles decorated
with carnations or other flowers.
eve think the carnations particu-
larly appropriate for this occasion)
New feature is the wick arrangement
which saves a large percentage of
the cologne, for it enables you to
spray just the right amount, and
never too much. These atomizers
hold the entire contents of an aver
age bottle of cologne, and you'll be
amazed at the price
If Mother is not quite as modern
as some, there are still many gifts
in the cosmetic line suitable to her
needs. For instance, the quaint
Victorian custom of scenting rooms
and closets with an aromatic blend
of flowers and herbs has inspired
one beauty firm to present an item
similar to the old-fashioned family
rose jar or potpourri The idea has
been slightly modernized, of course,
and now comes to us in the form of
classic modern white ceramic jar
filled with a spicy fragrance. Not
only will it recall happy memories,
but the delicate aroma will bring
real pleasure in this modern. stream
lined age. You'll find the packaging
most attractive and a definite orna-
ment to her night table. Fairly in
expensive, too.
Sachet Has
Many Uses.
Another gift suitable to our mod
ern maternal parents as well as
those of the lavender and lace era
is a new and really outstanding
sachet. 1t comes in five popular fra
grances and is the latest item in
famous line. The beauty of sachet
in powder form is that it may be
sewn into little satin bags, sprinkled
in dresser drawers or even applied
directly to the skin. The container
is very good looking, modern in de-
sign, and the product would make
an especially nice present if COM
bined with perfume in one OF the
matching aromas. Here is present
that you can give with perfect con-
fidence, assured of a welcome re-
ception.
There are a great many gifts that
should fit in beautifully with your
schemes to please mother on her par
ticular day. In addition to the
things we've mentioned, you might
also try:
Presenting her with a complete
course of treatments at her favorite
beauty salon.
Doing ditto with a course of les
sons at one of our better health
clubs. The ladies are enthusiastic
about them-and we don't mean the
very young ladies'.
Buying her a lovely makeup kit
If she has use for one (and who
doesnt?)
Flattering her with complete set
of bath products, with everything
included in her favorite scent.
Being your "extra-sweet" self not
only on Mothers Day, but every day
in the year.

dogs Mcqueen was coming back,
coming back to the Ungavas who
were moving faster and faster, led
by the iron Rough with his pacing

while Mcqueen faltered, the Mas

heads of the dogs slowly dropped
and their tongues swung to and fro
from open jaws, while their tails
brushed the snow. But the man
who urged them on shared the pun

was not enough. Still, there was
no camp that night while unspeak-

Nearly Immortal Skunk Sells

There's one police scout car in
Washington that won't need siren

That's the scout car that was
used this morning on the great hunt
for the irrepressible, practically i'm
mortal skunk that roamed at large
along Chevy Chase Parkway, ter
rorizing the residents and doing
things to the eighth precinct that
have never been done before.
The skunk was spotted in the gray
of dawn by newspaperboy deliver
ing his morning papers in the 5000
block of Chevy Chase Parkway. The
boy was dropping a paper in front
of the door of Mrs. D. Hauft at
5207 when he saw an innocent look
ing black and white animal huddled
in front of the basement window
of 500.
The boy knocked on the door and
asked Mrs. Hauft If her pet was
loose. Mrs. Hauft took one look and
replied that was no pet Of hers.
So he reused Mrs. Benjamin Ginz-
burg at 500 to announce that she
had a visitor. Mrs. Ginzburg, who
said she spent a restless night, re-
vealed that she had suspected as

Death of WI Pei-fu
MAY Produce Problems

PEIPING, Dec. S @.-Authorita-
tive observers here saw today in the
death of WI Pei-fu, once powerful
Chinese war lord, political compli-
cations for the Japanese plan to
establish Chinese government
under Wang Ching-wei.
1t was learned that until a few
hours before his death of an in
fected tooth yesterday, WI Pei-fu
had resisted Japanese pressure to
assist in establishing a new regime,
although the Japanese had been in
creasingly insistent in recent weeks.
The conviction is growing among
informed persons in Peiping that
the Japanese army in North China
has become decidedly cool toward
Wang's efforts, and that failure
awaits them.
This belief is based on reports
that Wang is demanding withdrawal
of troops from China, while the
North China army does not intend
to withdraw under any circum-
stances, and that the army favors
establishing a special" admins
trative area north of the Yellow
River.
Indicating the attitude Of the
North China army, the Japanese
press commented editorially, Wang
Ching-wei is not God"
The army controlled Peking
Chronicle said today WI Pei-fu
was to have headed the military
section of the Wang Ching-wei gov
ernment," but informed quarters
believed this was without founda-
ton.
For WI, known as "the only hon.
est warlord in China" had not risen
to frequent similar overtures in the
past. He was a desirable man for
the purpose because in his military
days he was said to have paid his
troops faithfully and never to have
permitted looting in the cities he
conquered. He thus was popular
with the Chinese masses.
