Flavor of the
Oyster Can Be
Right Seasoning
“Oysters are in season.” Every-
where we see the sign—in store win-
dows and on walls of restaurants, an
admirer of the succuleng bivalve com-
ments. I began my season early, to
be exact, in August, on the Brittany
coast, where I consumed them by the
dozen in their raw form.
As good as they tasted to me then,
with thelr high flavor, the American
oyster tastes better to me now, How
large even the blue points seem and
how delightful it is to have them on
their beds of ice! I can hardly de
cide whether to eat them without ex-
tra seasoning or to take the cocktail
sauce which by contrast brings out
thelr flavor so well. Did I tell you
that even in the small coast towns
of France a bottle of ketchup—
a bottle of well-known Ameri-
can brand—came to the table
with the vinaigrette saute and the
whole spices which always accom-
pany oysters over there. If you like,
you can make up your own cocktall
sauce then and there,
Our American oysters have the
double advantage of being satisfac-
tory both for raw service and for
cooking. How good an oyster stew
tastes on a chilly day, and how easy
it is to make, and yet not everyone
knows how to produce it In its per-
fect form. I think I prefer the meth-
od used by one of New York's most
famous oyster bars,
I cook the oysters just a moment,
just long enough to curl the edges,
then add’ the milk, which should be
rich milk with at least its full quota
of cream, season it with just enough
salt and paprika and let it cook just
long enough to heat thoroughly.
Creamed oysters should be prepared
with much the same method. The
liquor which develops as the oysters
curl should be used to make up the
quantity of milk needed to dilute the
mixed butter and flour which Is the
foundation of the standard white
sauce,
A little minced raw celery added
with the oysters and merely reheated
with them, gives an extra note of
flavor which you will like, I am sure.
For a change, try a brown sauce
without celery.
Creamed oysters are also the basis
for that popular American invention,
oyster ple. You may line your tin
with pastry or use only a top crust,
which in any case should be baked
with the oysters in a very hot oven,
both for the sake of the pastry and
for the sake of the oysters, which
must not be overcooked. You know,
undoubtedly, that overcooking tough-
ens oysters. This is one of the rea-
sons why very hot fat must be used
for frying them after they have been
crumbed or dipped in batter. To
make sure that fried oysters are per-
fect for serving, drop them onto soft

The business woman housekeeper
welcomes oysters In season, as It
gives her an extra food which can be
prepared easily and quickly. I am
sure that sHie can prepare the meal
suggested for tonight in practically
no time If she knows a place where
she can find an apple ple worthy of
a place on her table. By the way,
did you ever try reheating an apple
ple before serving? It does much for
the ordinary pie and even a little for
the best,

Discovery May Lead to
Victory Over Cancer
The growth of the human infant,
the chick In the egg, bacteria and the
toad can all be represented by the
same mathematical equation. Dr.
Norman CC, Wetzel, associate pro-
fessor of pediatrics at Western Re
serve UniversityMedical school, told
the National Academy of Sciences.
Proper Interpretation of this math-
ematical equation of growth, Doctor
Wetzel sald, eventually might lead
to conquest of cancer, since cancer
was a growth problem-—a situation in
which body cells grew without re
straint. The equation, which Is what
mathematicians call a second de-
gree differential, represents the re-
lation between heat production and
growth, he added.
Four factors, he found, were In-
volved In growth. One encourages
growth, a second retards or inhibits
growth, the third is the net external
work of growth. He calls the fourth
the “coefficient of inertia growth.”
in cancer, Doctor Wetzel sald, It was
evident that the factor which retard.
ed growth was not operating.
He urged that medical science em-
bark on a study of the Influence of
various hormones, vitamins and the
like, with a view to fitting them Into
thelr proper places in the equation
of growth—David Diets, Scripps.

| Life § in Crowded City
Leads to Individualism
The effect upon the human race of
the cluttering together In huge cities
is not easy to foretell, says a writer
in the Montreal Herald. I know, of
course, that in the woods where trees
crowd together too closely they grow
up slender and spindling, to the loss
of rugged strength, I suppose it is
true that the human race likewise
deteriorates when crowded together
too closely. But on the other hand
there should be advantage. If knowl:
edge Is power cities should develop
power, for knowledge of man by man
is exceedingly possible where men
are thrown closely together. Mutual
ity ought to grow, the pressure of
numbers should weld people together
in closer communion, As a matter
of fact it does not. People in the
back settlements are much more
friendly than those In the towns,
There is probably more ignorance
about worth-while thipgs in the city
than in the country, certainly as
much If not more selfishness, Curl.
ously enough, the city seems to
promote individualism more than
does the country. The city Individual
lives to himself. He does not know,
nor care to know his next door
neighbor. He will deal with a mer
chant for 20 years without knowing
him. He Is concerned with the pro-
motion of his own Interests, And
that is not good for a person or for
his world. Individualism can never
better the race very much. Nothing
can but co-operation. Country folk
are learning that more quickly than
townsfolk,

THEIR OWN FAULT?

voke the question, “How did you suc-
ceed In becoming profoundly home

TIME FOR DISCARD
When a rule of etiquette adds
nothing of value to beauty, to come

be set down as a useless rule which
