His researches were never isolated
but were related to his objective of
making the world a better place in
which to live.
In his farewell report to the insti-

Merriam said:
We now realize that no science
can exist alone. No branch of knoWl-
edge can exist alone. All must be
related to other knowledge if they
are to attain their largest value"
He had expressed somewhat the
same idea on an earlier occasion as
he addressed a graduating class at

said

.Chino's Fruits of Victory
Seen Menoced by Strife
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
American diplomatic and military
officials today viewed the internal
strife in China as threatening to rob
that nation of the fruits of its war
victory.
Far Eastern experts said clashes
between Chinese Communists and
Central government troops confront
China with her first major postwar
test, which will go far to determine
her capacity to remain in the front
rank of ruling powers.
Chinese diplomatic and military
officials refused to discuss the con-

long maintained prediction that the
Red question" will be solved with
out recourse to civil war.

Michigan Dutch Cookery

from the Dutch colonies. Berry
and fruit soups, apple cakes, many
types of hot breads, soups of dried
vegetables, oddly favored milk
drinks-all these are typical of the
cookery developed by these remark
able people.
Take. for instance, their red cur
rant soup, called by them "Roode
Krentenbrij. To make it, soak
2 tablespoons of barley in l cup of
water overnight. Wash and stem
quart of red currants and add to
them a cup of sugar. y cup of wa
ter and stick of cinnamon. Let
them cook over low heat for about
Is minutes. Then drain them and
press them through a coarse sieve.
Add the barely with water and salt
and let all simmer until the barley
is soft and the juice has thickened a
bit. This soup should be chilled
before serving. Other berries may
be substituted for the currants, if
desired
A favorite milk drink is made by
heating a quart of milk just to the
boiling point and adding a table
spoon of sugar and a teaspoon of
crushed anise seed. This can be
served either hot or cold. Instead
of the anise, some of the house
wives use a teaspoon of powdered
sage, which gives an unusual and
interesting flavor to the drink.

We all have heard so much about
the Pennsylvania Dutch" cookery
that most of us are more or less
familiar with many typical dishes
But the Michigan Dutch" culinary
arts have not been as generally
publicized, which is rather a pity
as their cooking is as distinctive
and delicious as that of their Penn
sylvania counterparts.
Ancestors of the present-day
Michigan Dutch came to this coun-
try 200 years later than did the
Pilgrims, but for the same reason
to escape religious persecution
They settled on the frontier and
proceeded in true pioneer fashion
to carve living out of the wilder
ness surrounding them.
The women brought with them
cherished recipes and dishes from
the home land and these were
passeo from mother to daughter to
keep the Dutch style of cooking
alive for generations. Especially
noteworthy is the Michigan Dutch
skill in preparing smoked and dried
fish, largely herring and eel-dishes
that had an exotic flavor due to the
subtle virtues of spices imported

Potent Drink
Bv The Yicforv Chef

AS the last of our little group of
articles about the history Of honey
Wen tell you more about that time
honored honey drink, mead. AS one
of the Oldest beverages known, 1t has
become surrounded with legends and
interesting customs.
Mead, often called hydromel, is a
mixture Of honey and water. It has
been known, variously, as mead.
meth and metheglin There are
three distinct kinds of mead.
Simple mead is made by boiling
three parts water to one part of
honey until a third has evaporated
Then the liquor is SKINNED and
put into a cask to be used in four
days, without being allowed to fer
ment. Compound mead adds raisins
to the boiling simple mead, to-
gether with an ounce of tartar dis
solved in little brandy. This mix
ture Is permitted to ferment and IL
then seasoned with spices and fruit
juices. The longer the fermentation
the more potent the drink. Vinous
mead adds all sorts of weird con.
coctions to the honey-and-watel
base and after its fermentation
period packs terrific wallop.
The nectar Of the gods was sale

in many of the sacred books of In.

own way of making it. 1t was the
prescribed drink Of the Nordic
heroes and a favorite with the an
cient Britons. Chaucer and Shake
speare allude to it many times in
their works. Mead reigned supreme
in its sphere until the first grape
wines put in their appearance about
the time of the Phoenicians.
Queen Elizabeth called her mead
metheglin and was as fussy about
how 1t was made as she was about
her appearance. Monks brewed mead
according to secret recipes in their
monasteries. Certain bee keepers
also had their jealousy guarded
formulas for making the drink. In
the courts of the princes, the mead
maker often was ranked higher than
the physician.
In Anglo-Saxon days, mead was
served in all the houses, from the
royal palace to the lowest peasants
hut. 1t was served usually in horns.
Later great beakers took the place
of these. Songs were sung in its
praise and toasts drunk in it on all
occasions. Later, some enterprising
countries tried little tricks of adding
such gliding as whisky, brandy or
gin to their mead-with disastrous
results, as one can imagine. And the
mead made in the Himalayas is so
potent in itself that even a Whit of

Report to the Housewife

using eggs in this form, which may,
or may not, interest you. Certainly
it wouldn't be just the thing to fol-
low if there's a recently returned
war veteran In your household! E.
A survey indicates that housewives
all over the country prefer to pur-
chase foods packaged in glass rather
than in cans or cartons. Reasons
given are that they can see what
they are getting, the food looks more
attractive, leftovers can be stored in
the container, glass is clean, sani-
tary and imparts no taste to the
product. What the canning indus
try will say to this will be interest
ing. The best grade cans only bow
to the glass containers in the mat
ter of visibility. A good dressing
for sliced tomatoes is made by siev-
ing well-ripened avocado and sea-
soning 1t with lemon juice and salt.
This is good tip to remember, now
that salad oil is hard to get.

adequate supplies of lemons on

Plenty Of good quality peaches from

a final seasonal treat. Apples,
though fairly plentiful, are of very
poor quality, and high in price.
Marketmen prophesy a bad apple
season. Still no Concord grapes,
but good supplies of seedless, NAL

and avocados are other recommend

If you're already thinking of your

titul crops OF nuts for American
markets this fall. These will include
almonds, filberts, walnuts, pecans-
all grown in this country, and many
of them bumper crops. We may also
see some imported Brazil nuts, ca
shews from India, filberts from
Spain, Italy and Turkey, perhaps
almonds from Spain. Probably nc
walnuts will be imported this year
Military requirements for nuts for
candy bars ana other confections
will also be considerably smaller this
year, and civilian demand may not
be as heavy as in other years when
there was more money to spend. II
all adds up, says the Department, to
bountiful supplies ana probably
lower average prices than in the
last few years.
