None Of the Washington contin-

Chief difficulty experienced by the
players was their lack Of practice
on grass. Turf court play places
q greater premium on spin, drop
volleys and slices so that . player
coming from hard courts needs at
least several days Of practice to
adjust his stroking to the grass
surface.

Hard at work learning food
selection and preparation" at
George Washington University
this semester are two students
whose presence in the class is a
rare thing indeed.
The students happen to be men.
And they are taking the course,
not because they will one day use
knowledge of nutrition to earn
their living, as is sometimes the
case, but simply because they want
to know how to cook. and to do
it we'll.
One of the men. Mr.. Douglas
Carroll, took his stand quite SIM
ply when. upon registration, he
gave the explanation required to
justify his taking the course. He
is, he pointed out. working for

Miss Frances kirkpatrick. head
Of the home economics depart
ment, explained that this rare ap-
pearance of men interested in
learning to cook scientifically for
themselves has happened only
since the war. Mr.. Carroll, who
spent three years in the Marine
Corps in China and Guam, OBJ
served that his interest in tasty
dishes dates from that time.
Mr.. Carroll. a senior and a
psychology ma ajor. needed an elec-
tive. He likes to eat, and 'it's ex-
pensive to eat In restaurants He
knew there would be q definite:

appropriate things.
The second male student, who
prefers to remain an anonymous
engineer, is interested in learning
to prepare good food-with the
emphasis on meat and vegetables
and proper vitamin intake rather
than on pieces de resistance.
In spite of rumors to the con-
trary spread by some members OF
the fair sex. he states fatty that

very much, thinks it's good for
the men and women to work to-

excess of girls in the class, a fact
not to be overlooked in a school
where the boys considerably out
number the girls. After careful
consideration of these three dis
tinct advantages to be gained by
taking a course in food selection
and preparation. he decided to
try it.
Mr.. Carroll particularly likes to
eat spareribs, and this, too, had a
great deal to do with his taking
the course. Although learning
dinner dishes will come last. and
his ability to cook spareribs will
have to wait. he has learned In
the meantime to cook a nutritious
and tasty breakfast, and is now
beginning the second half of the
semester's work, devoted to lunch
preparation.
~ He couldn't cook an egg when
he came in. He can now turn out
various kinds of mullins. popovers.
wheatena. cream of wheat, waffles,
sausage. coffee. pineapple scones
and other breakfast dishes. He
is considered a specialist In pop
overs by the class.
Developing a more critical atti-
tude toward food is part Of learn
ing to cook, Mr. Carroll finds.
Consequently. he may be a little
harder in his judgments ofhis
wife's cooking. he admits, If and
when he marries.
Information on nutrition and
menu planning are offered, Of

with actual practice in cooking.

Enough natural gas is burned as waste
in the Saudi Arabian oil fields to pro-
duce enough high-grade fertilizer to wipe
out the present world shortage, according
to technical expert of the United ma
tons Food and Agricultural Organization,
who has just completed survey of the
area.
The Food Organization recognizes
that one of the vital factors in overcoming
the world food shortage is the production
of more chemical fertilizers. Last year, the
sulphate from the Quatif oil field would
supply practically all the needs of twenty
European countries now affected by the
fertilizer shortage.
1t seems that the crude oil obtained
in the Saudi Arabian field comes out
under heavy natural pressure and is mixed
with large quantities of natural gas. This
must be removed before the oil can be
safely shipped To avoid communicating
the air, the oil company burns an esti-
mated 100000. 900 cubic feet daily.
The experts say that it would cost
S25,000,000 to set up plant to produce
ammonium sulphate, but that it would
pay for itself in ten years. This is but
one of the instances throughout the world
where wise investment of accumulated
capital would return dividends. Every
time such development takes place, the
condition of the world improves and there
is greater opportunity for people to better
their standards of living.

POLICY A COMPLETE FLOP

With the Chinese Communist armies
in control of Marking, former Chinese
capital, and taking over ports and cities
along the Southern Yangtze at will, the
debacle of General Chang Kai-Shek's Ma
tionalist Government is about COM
pleted.
In the process, the Chinese Reds have
fired upon several British warships, in
flicting some casualties and doing some
damage. The warships it should be noted,
were in narrow river channels that forced
them at times, to closely. approach the
Communicated bank, where they became
an easy prey to gunfire.
In this upheaval in the Far East, there
is no sign of any activity by the United
States which, despite the doctrine of con-
tanning Communism. does nothing to stop
the Red advance and gives out no state
ment on developments in China except
to advise American Nationalist to get
out of the way of the advancing Red
Army.
This recital of facts is not intended to
condemn the present policy of the United
following the end of World War IL, as
sistance was extended to the Nationalist
regime which had the support of this
country. Arms. weapons and equipment
of war were turned over to the Nationalist
Government in considerable quantities and
and some dollar assistance was made avail
able. Critics of the program insist that
much of the war paraphernalia fell into
the hands of, or was surrendered to the
Communist armies.
1t is easy to exaggerate the Importance
of the Red victories in China, but the
triumph of the Communists may be momen-
tous Already, the Reds have given every
indication that they are in line with the
policies of Moscow and it may be as
sumed, if the Communists succeed in re-
organizing China's millions, the new gov
eminent will be allied to Russia.
No one can say whether the victorious
military sweep of the Red armies will be
followed by an equally successful CONSOLE
dation of civil affairs involving the hun
dreds of millions of Chinese. The terri
torial magnitude and the poverty of mass
ed millions may present barriers to any
quick organization of China as potent
force in world affairs. Moreover, the posi-
bility exists that there will be further re-
sistance to the Red leaders in the southern
part of China, where, some strategists be-
lieve, the Cantonese may be able to stage
successful resistance.
1t cannot be asserted with conviction
that some other policy, If pursued by the
American government in China, would
have been successful in stemming the
Communist advance, but it can be said,
without fear of contradiction, that the
policy tried out by this government proved
to be a dismal failure. What the new policy
will be or whether one has been clearly
formulated, remains to be seen.
