The Brighter Side

THE innate larceny in the
L human composition NJ which
| have often had occasion 10
speak in this column. is mani
testing itself in numerous ways
during these war times. the
black market OF course being
one.
One Of these days l must ask
the members OF my congrega-
ton who have not in some
manner patronized the black
market. 10 az least the extent
OF a bit OF Illicit beef or
grill OF underhanded gasoline,

at the moment l am concerned
with A bleat from the tavern
keepers Of the nation.
II seems that many Of their
customers are purloining the
flat ware. or table silver. IN
their establishments, walking
out with knives and forks and
spoons and other articles OF
silver that are most essential

TNHE loss OF such ware through
L the kleptomania OF some
patrons has long been an item
with which the owners Of
restaurants. hotels. night clubs
and plain beaneries have had 10
reckon. They have always al
lowed for the evaporation in
larcenous form OF a certain
amount OF the ware. but since
the war the thievery has reached
prodigious proportions for the

Restaurant Owners
Have Problem

land in stolen silver is a couple
Of millions Of dollars.
TNHE other night a restaurant
Il man Of my acquaintance was
tipped of by his head waiter
that an elderly customer had
pocketed some silverware and
mine host contriVed 10 leStle
against the old guy and give
him quick feel. which con-
hrmed the walters tip. There
upon, the restaurant boss made
a thorough search of the oldie
and brought 10 light more
stuff than Harpo Marx used 70
shake out Of his clothes in his
old act.
The customer not only had
knives and forks, but a silver
tray a pair of salt and pepper
shakers, a silver sugar bowl. a
silver coffee pot and a few other
odds and ends. He could offer
no explanation for his larceny,
and fortunately the restaurant
man is a kind-hearted gee and
besides was so happy over the
recovery Of his property that he
did not call the OGPU.
THE shortage OF silver and
also chinaware may even
tually put some restaurants out
OF business. Experiments have
been made with paper and
plastic utensils but they have
not been highly successful. You
cannot get enough Of the right
kind Of wood. Tin is out Of the
question. Iron ware lightly
coated with silver is being tried
but ii rs not entirely satisfac-
tory.
Personally, ! favor the good
old peasant custom Of a single
large pot containing the food
with the customers grouped
around IL spearing the edibles
with their fingers. I would like
TO see that system put in opera
ton in the Colony restaurant in
New York because ! know I
can outspear most OF its cli-
entele, but / would not bet on
myself in Lindy's. I have seen
some pretty good players around
there.

EWHY are green fruits acid.

"WHY are green fruits acid.
w Why are they harmful"
The greatest manufacturer OF
food stuffs on earth is the plant.
1t is 10 the plants interest 10
manufacture good foods. IL the
fruit is good. an animal will eat
IL and spread the seed far and
wide. IL the leaves are succulent
an animal will eat them and
produce from them fertilizer in
its intestines.
The plant takes carbon diox-
ide from the air. water from the
soil. and energy from the suns
rays and manufactures food.
The first and simplest COM
pounds formed by the plant
from carbon dioxide and water
are formaldehyde and acids.
The green fruit containing
these acids, then. is sour.
The green apple is made up OF
hard roughage and causes
cramps If eaten; that is the only
way IT is harmful.
But as the plant goes on
ripening, il combines molecules
Of formaldehyde until 1t pro-
duces sugar.
The acids are transformed
into grape sugar which, under
the influence Of the sun and in
side the skin Of the fruit, COM
blne 10 form malt sugar. which
in turn forms dextrin and then,
starch.
The fruit is then in its most
edible form.
Later II forms celluloSe from
the starch and becomes dry and
tough.
