who has cooked for the upper-crust

Ham and eggs isn't just ham
and eggs when Sgt. Des Maison
makes it; it's 'toeuf au jambon'',
and it tastes as fancy as it sounds.
Sgt Des Maison, who has been
in the Army four months, worked
as chef in some of the swankiest
places in Paris, among them the
Hotel Napoleon, Hotel George 5th,
and the Retisserie DIES Champs de
Ulysses.
In the United States he employed
his culinary skill at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel, the Stork Club, and
the Pent House Club, in New York,
and among the famous persons for
whom he has prepared food are
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, the Duke
of Windsor, Charlie Chaplin Doug

Born in Poitiers, France, where
his father was a restaurn at pro-
pietor he began his caree as cook
at the age of twelve. At fourteen
he was sent to study at school
for restauranteurs in Paris, where
he worked in the daytime and at
tended classes at night. From 1881
he served as cook in the French
Navy during which time he was
on the crew of the submarine

AIfaro, Veteran Envoy,
Offers Resignation 10
New Ecuador Rulers
BY LEON PEARSON,

Capt. Colon Eley Alfaro, who
has served as Ecuador's Minister
and Ambassador in Washington for
more than 10 years, disclosed yes
terday that he had submitted his
resignation to the government which
came into power by revolution two
weeks ago, and intends to leave the
diplomatic service.
Capt. Alfaro emphasized that he
Is not at odds with the new Presi-
dent of Ecuador, Jose Maria velasco-
Ibarra, but is taking this opportunity
to go into private business. He will
60 to Panama to join his three sons
In establishing an export-import
business to be known as Compania
A1faro s. A.
The sons, like their father, are
well known in the United States.
Ambassador Alfaro received his mil
itary training at West Point and
his sons, Eloy and Jaime, were
graduated from the Military Acad-
envy In 1899 and from Olmedo in
1912.
The ambassador revealed that he
sent his resignation to Quito by
cable Friday, and expects an ac-
ceptance today or tomorrow. He
will leave promptly for Panama,
then return North to establish a
branch office of the new company
either here or in New York.
Capt. Alfaro has survived many
previous revolutions in Ecuador
They have occurred almost annually
since he first came to Washington.
More than once he has been urged
to return to Quito as candidate
for the presidency, position which
his father held. But he preferred the
less capricious life of the diplomatic
service.
His father, Eloy Alfaro, is now
recognized as q national hero in
Ecuador. He served as president
there from 1895 to 1901, and from
1905 to 1911. He was aAAssinated
In 1912.
Ambassador Alfaro shares with
two others the honor of having
served In Washington longer than
any other Latin-American chiefs of
mission. The others are the Guata-
rialan Ambassador, Adrian Recinos,
and the Salvadoran Ambassador
Hector David Castro.

AirIines Will Regain

service within the continental
United States before the end OF

dustry said last night.
The War Department announced
that contracts with commercial
companies for overseas operations
will be continued. The change
over on the domestic operations
already is under way, it was said,
and it was pointed out that 28
planes had been returned to the air
lines in the last five months.
In May, 1912. the Army took over
165 planes, half the number the air.
lines had. 1t is not expected that
exactly 1855 planes, including the 28
already delivered, will be returned
by the end of the year, the industry
spokesman said, but it is believed
they will come back in such num-
bers as to help resume normal
operations.
Some of the former airline planes
are now in use in overseas contract
work, he said and it is not likely
that these will be returned this
year. The airlines are refitting the
returned planes with new seats and
curtains and putting them back
into service Immediately the spokes-
man said.
Although the airlines have been
operating with only half their
planes, they have been carrying so
per cent more freight, little more
