THE COOKING SCHOOL

IN one Of his most fascinating essays,
: CHARLES LAME, the gentle ELLA, tells how
a Chinese swineherd's son let a spark ignite
straw and in the ensuing fire the hut and all
buildings Whereabouts were consumed, and
with them a SOW which had just farrowed.
Mourning over the ashes a delectable odor
assailed the boys nostriis. Frying among still
smouldering ashes the youngster poked his
finger into the side of a young pig and, suffer
ing a burn, put the finger in his mouth,
whereupon his palate was as pleased as his
nose. For some seven thousand ages Chinese
had taken their meat raw and the lad was
slow to grasp what had happened, but per-
severing in his inquiries he dug again into
the ashes and, bringing forth what was left
of the pig, sunk his teeth into it, with such
gusto that when his father cudgeled his
he was unconscious of the hurt.
The father was prevailed upon to take a bite
and he too gave up only when the last OF
of the pigs had been consumed.
Thereafter, when a new litter arrived neigh
bors noticed that the swineherds hut went
up in flames, and despite the best father and

one of the jurors testing Exhibit A, another
burnt pig, he became so gustatory that the

was left for the judge, who without a taste
could not account for the culprits' acquittal.
He bought himself a pig forthwith and burn
ed it in his house. Others followed his ex'

architecture in China was in danger; until
a wise man finally proved it was not neces-
sary to burn their dwellings to get roast pig
It is a far cry from the first pig roasted
in a burning home to the modern electric
range, from the first cooked meat, served
ton, to the latest recipes for cooking it. The
science of cookery has made tremendous pro-
gress through the centuries, but there is al
ways being discovered new and better ways
of preparing and serving all foods, not meat
alone.
That Wilmington women may learn the
latest and best methods of preparing, cook:

vited to send an official delegation to study
Japanese industries with a view to strength
ening the commercial ties between the two
countries. For Japan's obvious aim is to ne.
gotiate a series of trade pacts that would
favor the introduction of her goods into Latin
America. It is in line with this plan that the
imperial Privy Council has suddenly decided
to approve a six-year-old unratified treaty with
Uruguay.
With her national economy preoccupied with
the ravenous demands of her war machine in
China, Japan has not been able to keep up the
pace which she had set in her trade with
Latin America. In 1898 imports from Japan
accounted for less than 8 per cent Of all the
foreign purchases Of the twenty republics. In
exchange she took only a little more than !
per cent of all their exports. Nor do Japanese
reports for 1889 show appreciable Improvement
in her trade over the year be.
fore.
A detailed examination Of the figures for 1898
reveals that the relative position Of Japanese
Imports was strongest in such minor markets
as Paraguay, the Dominican Republic, Panama
and Honduras, in the order named. In fact,
Japan ranked second as a source Of supply for
three of these small nations. OF the major
markets of Latin America Argentina was the
only country which derived more than 3 per
cent of its imports from Japan. On the other
side Of the international ledger, Brazil was re-
sponsible for over half of all
exports to Japan, which had become the sec.
ond largest buyer of Brazilian cotton. Every
where else the balance of trade was heavily in
Japan's favor, For example, Argentina bought
three and a half times as much from Japan
as she sold to her.
In view of this Asproportion between i'm
ports and exports, Japan's bargaining position
is weak in any move to conclude further trade
agreements with the American governments. In
1898 the United States bought from Japan more
than three times the amount Of all Japanese
sales to Latin America. If the Japanese are
fearful of the collapse Of their American mar.
ket their chances for finding compensation to
the south of us would appear very slim indeed.

HITLER'S DEMANDS

It was not to be supposed that HITLER would
breakdown and confess to Undersecretary OF
State SUMNER WELLEs that Germany was sorry
it acted badly in provoking war and would
welcome a chance to end 1t without too much
humiliation. But that he should have placed
his price for peace so high astounds even the
British and the French who have learned some.
thing Of the fuehrer's greed during the last
two years.
of British and French influence from the Bal.
kans and from Scandinavia, return of lost
colonies and an end of the British "strangle.
hold on commerce: that is all he wants to
lay aside his arms and return to brotherly
relationship with all the world.
Modesty is not an outstanding characteristic
OF the fuehrer. He has always set his goal
at what appeared, even to him, unattainable
objectives, with the purpose to go as far to-
ward them as circumstances would permit, and
IT he got all the way that was just too bad
for his enemies. actual or potential. Thus,
when he sent his troops into the Rhineland
he is reputed to have told his staff they were
to penetrate as far as they could without
protest; that he would order a halt if pro.
tests came, but would continue the march
to the very banks of the Rhine If he could
get away with it. 1t is also pretty we'll estab
lished that he went to Munich without hope
OF putting his whole plan across but deter
mined to give the best show he could on a
possibility the bluff would scare CHAMBERLAIN
OF. In both cases he carried his point, but
with some trepidation.
Now he proclaims to his enemies, through
our undersecretary of state, what he will dc
IN the interest Of peace. Probably his mental
attitude is the same as in the cases cited, al
though it is possible former successes have
caused him to believe he has but to express
a wish to be assured of its acceptance.
Mr.. WELLEs' visit to Berlin, which was
purely exploratory, is not likely to have an,
effect on the war situation, but it serves a
least to reveal H1TLER's viewpoint. If it alst
spreads the impression that Europe is mo-
yet ready to consider peace terms, but viii

FOR A BETTER PARK

With extensive landscaping and the plant
ing of many ~azaleas, Greenfield park begins
to take on the garb and appearance Of spring.
The improvement association which has
Identification of the park in charge deserves
great credit for it's work, which is not only
earnest but is also directed to the betterment
of this ~favorite recreation center.
There is complaint that funds are running
short and that more extensive Identification
contemplated by the association is endangered.
This is regrettable from every viewpoint. The
city administration ought to find a way to
provide money needed for improvement of
the entire park, which so richly merits the
best that can be done for it. Natures great
gift deserves to be supplemented by ample
appropriations.
But if the city administration, which is not
free from financial problems, cannot get
around to making adequate funds available
promptly, while there is still time to carry
out a Identification program for the whole
park this spring, it is not too much to hope
that public-spirited citizens will come to the
rescue. Lacking an "angel'' public subscrip
tions would be a splendid substitute.
