SKINS BAR CULTURE ___ ___ Pachydermatous American Citi zens Impervious to Polaeness. Pre* J Paul G»df. University ef Chicago.

But 1 am willing in spite of that, to voice my disgust at the treatment accorded the Japanese visitors That disgust eitecds to the treatment accorded al most anybody who attempts to speak at an American banquet. "In our tour of the country when the Japanese commissioners were here we visited practically every large city in the country, and in only three places Washington. Indianapolis and St- Louis—were the distinguished Japanese shown anything that re sembled politeness, in those cities alone did those who sat at the ban quet table reveal gentlemanly in stincts. In most of the other cities— Philadelphia in particular—we encoun tered such boorishness and utter lack of breeding that 1 was surprised and disgusted." Asked to what causes he attributed th;s lack of culture. Prof. Goode said he had made no attempt to explain it. "Primarily it goes back to our homes." he said. "In many American homes children are not taught to pay respectful attention when others are speaking And if they fail to learn that cardinal precept of culture when they are young* it is impossible to punch tt through their thick skins when they grow old. "The Japanese are people of culture and refinement. No better evidence of this e\er was shown than their at titude toward those who so grossly abused them while they were here. At the banquets we attended a large pro portion of the diners talked and joked ' and whispered among themselves while the visitors were speaking, and although those speakers were secretly disgusted they did not convey by word or sign tfiat they had noticed anything wrong. Not even among themselves did they talk about it. There could be no truer test of true culture than that "A speaker at a banquet or any where else is entitled to respectful at tention and if some are present who are unw illing or unable to accord him that much they should leave the room as quickly as possible."

Little Things, but All in Their Way Important—Fuel for Alcohol Lamps—Proper Method of Scalloping Oysters. Copper may be cleaned by rubbing with the skins of lemon and salt. The surface should be wiped off quickly and polished with a dry chamois. Hygienic cooks declare bread made from spring wheat is better than that from winter wheat, as it contains more gluten and less starch than the latter Remember that the shell of an egg is porous and bacteria easily pass through it. Keep eggs in a cool place and keep them covered. Do not forget that sugar or shorten ing retards the raising of dough, so rolls that are made with them will not be so high and puffy as in doughs made with yeast. Butter that is watery and not well j worked must not be used for cake, as it will make it heavy. If you have alcohol lamps, chafing dishes, and self-heating irons run by alcohol, be sure that you burn the right kind. The pure grain alcohol is costly and the fumes of wood alcohol are poisonous. Get the denatured kind, which costs only about forty cents a gallon. In using an alcohol lamp be sure that it is set upon metal or some non inflammable substance, or your wood work may be ruined, though a bad conflagration is escaped. Asbestos plates are excellent for this purpose, or an old marble top table. lu scalloping oysters do not use too much of the liquor; some cooks sub stitute r.iilk.
