Palate Poll Shows Variety of Tastes The National Restaurant association recently took a "palate poll" of celebrities' ideas of a perfect meal. All of which brings a slightly bit ter response from oldsters who have j watched celebrities eat since the | first World's fair was a new idea. John C. Holmes, 75 years of age and the oldest member of the Chicago Walters association, prefers to I Remember when mon were men at 1 the dining table and no woman minded weighing 150 pounds in her | leg-o-niutton sleeves. His verdict on dining out in this I era of calories and vitamin alphabets is simple: "People don't know how to eat any morel" And to prove ft, he began recalling nine-course dinners in the gay nineties. There's even a moral note. "Of course, both men and women were stouter in those days," he said, "but they were also friendlier, healthier and more sociable. Folks today are thinner, but,they're jittery and sicklier than their mothers and fathers were in Uxq nineties. And it's all because they - aon t feat fenough. An old-time ..diner-out, it seems, would start with a cocktail and an assortment of hors d'oeuvres. Having put away a sizable quota of caviarr smoked salmon, deviled eggs, sardines and what-have-you, he wpuld sit down, tuck in his napkin and start distributing tabasco sauce over a dozen oysters, Green turtle soup, enriched with sherry, followed the blue points or the cotuits. His throat muscles properly loosened up by this little workout, your gay nineties diner disposed of a fish course, sole, shad in season, or perhaps, if he was a delicate soul, a little lobster mayonnaise^ Sweetbreads or some(pther relatively light "entree" followed, with the main course next apd sixth on the card. "If * turkey or chicken was setved," Holmes pointed out, "it would be followed by still another course, a game dish such as partridge, pheasant or duck. Then came the eighth course?salad and an assortment of cheeses." The ninth course was dessert. And then' came the coffee, with brandy for the men and possibly liqueurs for the ladies. "And wha^ do you get today?" i a sue a Holmes, "xou get a fruit cocktail, soup, probably a fillet mignon, some Salad and a parfait. All they want to do is eat whatever you give 'em and be on their way. It Is Stibnite Now; Once It Was Alcohol Several solid chunks of what was formerly known as alcohol are now on exhibition in the department of geology of the Fiefd Museum of Natural History, Chicago. With the display of this material it was pointed out by L. Bryant Mather Jr., assistant curator of mineralogy, that the name "alcohol" was once properly used only for a species of mineral. " "When the word. came. to. European ""the Seventeenth century, frorn the Arabic, 'alcohol' was a mineral name," said Mr. Mather. "However, since this name has been Usurped by the familiar liquid, the mineral alcohol' is now designated as 'stibnite.' , "This mineral, long known, has been used as a cosmetic since ancient times. Among the Greeks it was known by a name derived from the words meaning 'wide' and 'eye, since the powdered mineral was used to increase the apparent size of the eye. Among the Arabs it was knbwn as kohl, from kahala, meaning to color or to stain. In the theatrical profession the black powder used for blackening the eyelids is Btill called kohl, perhaps the only vestige in contemporary language of the original Arabic usage." m Uncle Sam Has 78,000 Houses Uncle Sam now has on his hands about 78,000 homesv taken over from private owners who turned out to be poor risks, says the Christian Science Monitor. The article continues: . , , The great majority of these belong to die Home..Owners Loan corporation, set up in 1933/as a stop-gap. in a bad credit situation when foreclosures on private homes reached a peak of 1,000 a day. The HOLC today owns 77,229 homes, worth an average of?,000 each. It already has sold 80,824 other properties, taking a book loss of approximately $78,834,000.

"No radio playing after eleven d. in., no saxophones, ' no dogp or muSical students allowed ?why, you couldn't ask for a quieter place than Bayberry Huven!" "What was the name?" inquired ( my wife in u startled tone. "Oh?I j see." She added. "For Just a mo- | ment 1 thought you said 'Baby Heaven!' " i "Ha! ha!" laughed the ugent, in > what I thought at the time was a remarkably hollow tone, "Ha! ha! ha!" I And so we moved to Bayberry < Haven. A little far out, but sunlight in every room, aq outside en-1 1 trance to every apartment, and a real grass lawn in the middle. "Welcome to Baby Heaven!" ( cried the iceman gayly as my wife , lei nim in at thq Ufint door up i next morning. , And Baby Heaven it was7~" ?, i As I ran for my train in the morn- 1 ing, I would leap over a toy auto- ' mobile, broad jamp over eight kiddie cars in a row, pole vault over a scooter bike and roll merrily down the sidewalk with two roller skates under one foot. True, there was no radio playing j after eleven at night. There were , no dogs, there were no saxophones, ] there were no musical students, i But there was no law against the i infant above us, and the infant be- 1 low u$, and the infant to the right I qf us, and the infant to the left of ' us, taking regular turns all night to disrupt the peace and quiet for which I had come to Bayberry Haven. Sometimes, when starting out in the morning, I would look about me at the beautiful sunshine and at the > little porch, of green lawn, and I would determine to ask some of the < boys from the office out to dinner ] that night, so the poor city-bound < oafs could see what a blade of grass l looked like. 1 But ah, the kiddies! The kiddies! By dinner time, what with their abandoned dollies, and their lost _ caps, and their paper airplanes-7 you Ikiivn, jTOu iuw wf xi me pieces of paper and sail them all over the ] place and hear the janitor swear? i well, what with them scattered i knee deep all over our little green, lawn space, I don't believe the boys from the office ever did get to see a blade of grass. And the chalk marks on the walk! How my friend, Hobbsnotch, of the Evening Graphonews, used to pore j over them! He was writing his ( book then?you know, "Sally in Our , Back Alley"?and of course he wanted to get it suppressed in Boston. He needed the money. He has clairAed ever since, with tears of gratitude in his eyes, that his success dates from the first time I i asked him out to dinner and he 1 read the words that the innocent I little kiddies had chalked on my. .. traRTW"," _ One Saturday afternoon I went to the grocery store on an errand for my wife. I thought at first I was back on the East Side. But I soon realized that they were not push carts?they were baby buggies. A sea of baby buggies. I counted eighteen of them in one?block. You can depend on the number, because I am a certified public accountant. If you saw a young couple strolling down to the grocer's without a baby buggy, you just knew that they had one at home, with a nice-reliable - colored - girl-by-the-hour-thatloves-children wheeling it up and down the sidewalk. Or if they didn't have any baby buggy bt all, you knew that Santa Claus had them down on his list, and they would find one in a stocking on Christmas morning. I should have known it would be like that. I should have known that every couple with one or , two of three or four or five children?or even- those - young couples whose mammas are still squabbling over which one shall make the bassinet? I should have known that they would all move out here: It's so good for the children, you know. . And so the stork hovers over Bayberry Haven constantly. It's not his fault. It's the sunshine, and the fresh air. And you know how it is, in an epidemic of that sort you begin to get panic-stricken. Fear of contagion;, force of example; power of suggestion; and all that sort of thing. You, too, may fall a victim! A stork, after all, is only human. Or inhuman, whichever way you look at it. He might, some day, get mixed up in his chimneys. And, frankly speaking, being a man who is fond of his peace and quiet, I had rather be elsewhere when it happened. / * So that is why, last week, we gave notice to the landlord that we were leaving Bayberry Haven on the first of the month. . But only this morning my wife whispered to me that it might be just as well to stay . . . * t ? v" ; Refining Petroleum Petroleum may. now be-refined economically, without the use of excessive heat, by *?lng liquid propane as a precipitating agent lor the heavier parts of the oil, it was disclosed at a recent American Chemical society meeting. r *- ' . t t' ggga. | iu " j .
