Bv the Chef

Having just come back from a
motor swing through the Great
Lakes country, I'm full of new ideas
and experiences picked up in various
restaurants and from friends visited
en- route. I'll pass them on to you
as space permits.
Today I must tell you a bit about
the justly famous Mader's Restau-
rant in Milwaukee. Back in 1905
when it was already well known
you could get a fine dinner there
for 20 cents! And nowadays 1t is
famed among gourmets from coast
to coast.
The food is mostly of the Milwau-
kee-Old German type-wonderfuI
dishes, such as hasenpfeffer, Koen-
igsberger klops, potato pancakes and
so on. All are delicious and per-
fectly done. But this time I was
especially interested in a new pro-
ject developed by Gustave Nader
special drinks for special seasons.
Mr.. Nader told me that he be-
came dissatisfied with selling wine
by the bottle or glass no matter
how good it was, and cast about for
something to make it appeal to more
people. His first idea was to re-
introduce the German Mai-wein OF
Mai Bowle-translated into May
wine-served with Strawberries. This
Is favorite of mine and I have
given you the recipe before, severa
times, for making it at home. Mr.
Nader, however, for restaurant ust
makes up patches of the wine-s
good Rhine or Moselle base in which
the herb woodruff is steeped-ane
bottles it, to, be sold by the glass

berries. This drink is featured dur

cup, resting in a saucer decorated
with brilliant autumn leaf, a
sprig of wild grapes and a sprie
of bittersweet. 1t consists of black
tea, sherry, Rhine wine and Curacao
Just before serving, the glass is
topped with chilled champagne.

sugar, Rhine wine, old rum of the
Jamaica type and lemon juice. This
is served in the same way as the
harvest punch, only Christmas
decorations are used, such as a sprig
of berried holly and pfeffernuesse
for dunking purposes.
The day after Christmas sees the
introduction of the "Yule Wine
Bowie" which is much the same as
the Christmas punch except that
each glass is topped off with spark
ling Burgundy.
Mr.. Nader was kind enough to
give me detailed recipes for making
these drinks, but because of lack OF
space, I shall have to mail them
directly to any one who wishes them

"The price Of milk Is too high, even
though milk prices have increased
only 7S per cent since 1889 while
the price of all foods combined has
gone up 116 per cent" Mr.. Van
Bomel, president of national dairy
company, said at the breakfast his
company gave for the food editors
at Sherry's the second morning Of
the recent food conference in New
York. Individual bottles of milk at
each place were marked of to show
what happened to the average dol
lar spent by the consumer for the
company's milk last year.
The appointments of the break
fast were so lovely it put us in a
good frame of mind for the rest of
the day The tables were laid with
peach colored dotted swiss; the GEN.
terpiece at OUR table was a large
ice cream cone with a ruff of peach
and chocolate -colored taffeta at the
base. Ribbon streamers, also in
chocolate hue, started at the base
of the cone and spread fan-wise
to the edge of the table. The nap
kins were circles of the same peach
dotted swiss to match the cloth.
Favors for each editor were wrapped
In shiny brown paper and tied with
perky bows of peach and brown
tulle.
After breakfast we strolled through
the beautiful lobby, up the stairway
to the meZzanine floor to a Food
ography Show" Here we spent a
fascinating so minutes learning
some of the techniques employed in
food photography Colored and
black-and-white slides were thrown
on the screen while the photog-
rapher explained the use of shad-
ows, texture contrasts, high lights,
use of props, color and so on.
Chlquita Banana was our hostess
at luncheon in the Sert Room of
the Waldorf Astoria; and a most
attractive one she was too. Her
Spanish costume was a gay yellow
blouse, many-tiered, billowing red
skirt, and a tall somberolike hat
resembling banana. Chiquita
started life as a jingle that for six
months went completely unnoticed
Suddenly dance bands started plays
ing the tune; Time magazine called

Free dental care is also offered In
the schools.
Swedish children do not begin
school until they are z, and
many leave school after the eighth
grade, when they are IL or Is, and
continue at continuation school until
they are is. Legislation is now
being introduced requiring eight or
nine. rather than seven, years of
compulsory education. Established
in 1886, Sweden's plan for compul-
sorry education Is the oldest in Europe.
Students who finish the equivalent
Of our high school. at Is, take
rigid student examinations whether
or not they are planning to 60 to
college.
In eight years Of schooling in
Sweden, there are many more sub
jects included than in those cor.
responding years in this country.
English, French, German and Span
ish are offered in those early years,
and Greek and Latin are added in
the latter years. Chemistry, algebra
and geometry are introduced early,
too.
In the most progressive schools,
radio teaching promotes interna-
tional understanding. The school
radio pamphlet, which gives the
schedule of radio lessons for the
term, contains the words of songs
sung over the air by children in
other Scandinavian countries. The
Swedish children follow the words
and join in.
Interesting, too, Is the fact that
teachers salaries are paid accord
ing to sliding salary scale, based
on the cost of living in each region.
There are more men teaching in
the elementary grades there than
there are women, incidentally.
Through this salary plan, Sweden
has attempted to prevent q mass
migration Of good teachers to the
larger cities.
Swedish educators have noted the
way in which children are encour-
aged to sing, play and enjoy music
here, and plan to revise their own
music program, patterning 1t to
some extent after our system.
This Is the first OF series on
education around the ,oorld.)

Rockefeller Plaza, 65 stories above the
city's busy streets. In keeping with
the Golden Anniversary which New
York is observing this autumn the
dinner was tuned to that celebration
of so years ago and today. Our
hosts, packers of a favorite brand of
frozen foods, served us a menu typ
ical of the ones which made Del

zine, arbiter of high food fashions,
co-operated in the selection of the

Sweden, known throughout the
world for its social reforms, has in
recent years taken the yard stick to
its educational system, and in the
course Of some revision has frankly
incorporated features Of the Ameri-
can and British systems. Steps have
been taken to reduce the number OF
subjects included in each school
year, and to emphasize q program
based on activity by the children
rather than one in which text book
work predominates. The informal
ity that the Moller children noticed
and liked in American schools is
now stressed in Swedish classrooms
too.
Notable In the Swedish system is
its vacation plan. Children's colon
les have long been organized there
by municipal authorities and private
individuals to make it possible for
poor children from towns to have a
summer holiday in the country. AS
the standard Of living Of the people
has been raised, the function of
these colonies has changed, and
they now exist mainly to give all
children an opportunity for a change
Of surroundings and to teach them
healthy living habits, stressed con-
stantly In Sweden. In this respect,
country children can derive equal
benefit from these colonies, and the
movement Is being expanded to in
clude these children, too.
Travel Is free, and the great ma
jority Of the children are admitted
free Of charge. The travel allowed
reaches 375 miles, or twice that
amount for children living in the
far north. The state supports and
supervises this work, which is largely
run by private organizations.
Free lunches, too, for all Swedish
school children are being provided
1T the expense Of the national gov
ernment. This Is an extension of o
more limited program for under
privileged children practiced earlier.

If you went to school in Sweden
you would 60 skiing after school
take q winter sports holiday ir

You would also 60 to school or

Inger Moller, ID, and Goran
Moller, II, of 444s Hawthorne street

systems. The children OF Col

Attache to the Swedish Embassy
They are now starting their second

Inger is in s-B at Alice Deal Junior

Are the two systems different?
OF course they are, s>y the children,
and cite the things about both that
get their positive or negative votes.
They like the amount Of time
spent outdoors in Sweden, and they
like what amounts to modern dance
work done In their famed physical
education classes. But classes are
more informal here" Inger de-
clares, land I like that. You feel
as If you can express yourself freely,
and the teacher will not get up

to after regular school hours, too" /"

She studied it in the fifth and sixth
grades in Sweden; English, Incl

Moreover, you must not be mig.

can reach it-without straining.

I have no shrubs, but a sugges-

grown from trimmings. The first
year in grows about one foot. In
three years time it becomes a nice
size and ready to trim and shape.
I hope you can find some one who
has freshly trimmed their Privet
hedge and have the trimmings to
offer. Maybe too late this fall. II
so remember for first thing in the
spring. Privet grows fastest How
ever, Barberry may also be started
from trimmings.
