Great Help to Italy Declares

ROME American finance and

"sacred for European peace" by
aidine Fascism make Ttaly self
supporting, in the opinion of Al
fredo Kocco, .Minister of Justice in
Mussolini's cabinet.
Lamely through American as
sistance. Roeco declares, it will he
possible eventually to accommo
date 20.000.ofio more inhabitants
within Italy's present boundaries
in continental Europe, thereby al
leviating the gravity of nn. of the
nation's most acute problems
which the Imce summed up re
cently in the sentence: "Italy must
expand or suffocate."
"The American dollars which
are now pouring into our country
in the form of long-term loans to
industry," the Minister of Justice
says, "are soldiers in the cause of
peace since they relieve ns from
the pressure of over-population.
With this api;'l vc are beginning
seriously to accomplish utilization
of our scanty natural resources.
At the same time American indus
try is giving us lessons in the ap
plication of scientific methods to
production problems. This, in a
-ou n try like ours, is a question of
life or death. Naturally we have
to work harder than other nations
to achieve normal prosperity, and
we hope we can do so peacear.lv."
A similar view of aid from the
I'nited States has been expressed
by Minister of National Economy
Relluzzo. in wfiose opinion Italian
industrial organization must te
based entirely upon lessons from
America, particularly in reducing
costs to undersell foreign competi
tors in the world market.
American loans to hydraulic
companies in Italy, it is pointed
out, have already reduced the cost
of power to the lowest level in the
world and are quickly reducing the
need for coal importation. The use
of American agricultural machin
ery and the application of Ameri
can methods have contributed like
wise to diminish grain imports,

NRW YORK CITY (Special)
Much interest was shown here
on May 2fi by lovers, of birds and
friends of the late Theodore
Roosevelt in the unveiling of a
memorial bronze group of unusual
attractiveness. The ceremony took
place at Oyster Bay on tbe
grounds of the Bird Sanctuary
owned and maintained by the Na
tional Association of Audubon So
cieties. Adjoining it is the little
cemetery where President Roose
velt lies buried. j
In his address Dr. T. Gilbert
Pearson, president of the Audubon
association, said. "We are hero
today for the unique purpose, of
unveiling a memorial to a former
president of the I'nited States be
cause he was a lover of wild hirdH.
While occupying the position of
president, at the suggestion by
the Audubon society, be created
by executive order various federal
bird reservations where the wild
denizens of sea or land might for
all time find sanctuary.
"When, therefore, in the year
1919 Theodore Roosevelt passed
away it seemed to some of us most
fitting that the National Associa
tion of Audubon Societies for the
Protection of Wild'Uirds aJid Ani
mals should as a slight testimonial
erect some tangible memorial to
the great friend , of the cause
which we espouse. ,
"The gifts of more than two
thousand of our members and
friends made possible the erection
of this fountain, the conception of
the form and the execution of
which was wrought by the mind
and the hands of one of America's
most beloved sculptors, Bessie
Potter Vonnolu In its composi
tion the fountain is designed to
represent the relation of children
to the living birds in both of
which Theodore Roosevelt ever
held such U deep and abiding in
terest. In the figure the girl is
seen providing;. vater for the birds
in summer while the little boy at
her feet holds a tray with which
to furnish birds with food in "win
ter." Dr. Frank M. Chapman, the
well-known ornithologist, said in
part: "Theodore Roosevelt was
born with a bird in his heart and
it an$ to him throughout his life.
As. a boy its voice appealed to him
so strongly that at one time he
determined to become an ornith
ologist. At the age of 14 a 'Roose

CONTEST ON I
E
Interest of Young People in
Instrument Stimulated by
Competitions
An innovation among America's
meUigdsj-stimulating interest in
the piano is the city-wide piano
playing contest, which has spread
widely during the present season.
Added to the group piano teach
ing in the schools, this new de
parture has done "much to increase
the number of young performers
on the instrument. So marked
has been the success .of the plan
that a pamphlet on "Piano" Play
ing Contests" has been issued by
the National Bureau for the Ad
vancement of Music from its head
quarters, 45 West 45th Street,
New York City.
That pamphlet, which is being
distributed without charge, tells
of the development of the contest,
first, in Detroit, and later in such
cities as- Chicago, San Francisco,
Milwaukee, Rochester and Colnm
us. Many other cities equally im
portant are either actively at work
on their own plans or taking the
matter under serious considera
tion, among them Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Los Angeles. Cleve
land, Pittsburgh. Indianapolis,
Richmond, Davenport, Denver and
Omaha. In the cities where the
plan has already been carried out,
it has been sponsored by a leading
newspaper, with the cooperation!
of the music trade. !
In issuing it3 handbook on the
contests, the National Bureau
makes the following recommenda-i
tion: "The piano playing contests
will probably be conducted in the
different cities and towns with a
varying degree of educational
benefit,; and the National Bureau j
recommends that the music teach-j
ers, schools and public spirited ,
organizations take an active part
for the purpose of increasing that
benefit, and become an active fac-1
tor In making the results success
ful from the children's viewpoint,
which is their real Interest in the
contests." -
After narrating the leading fea
tures of the recent contests, the
pamphlet takes up the various co
operating forces whose aid is de
sirable, such as school systems,
music clubs, women's clubs and
the parent-teacher associations. It
then describes the advantages of
publicity for music that coma
through the sponsoring of the
contest by the interested newspa
per. The subject of contest mu
sic is taken up with a view to edu
cational progress through the fu
ture contests. The remainder of
the pamphlet " is devoted to re
ports from" the cities where, the
plan has been carried out success?

When Favored by Prince

LONDON.-? (AP) T ripe is
coming up in the world. Dishes of
this once humble, food have be
come all the rage in fashionable
London since It became known
that the Prince of Wales Is fond,
of tripe, which -at one time waa
a favorite dish of Louis XIV.
Dickens wrote about tripe and
onions, and. Mr. Pickwick greatlf
enjoyed it. While tripe is not par
ticularly pleasant to the eye. West
End chefs have been giving Lon
don gourmets an idea bt its excel
lence when treated according to
tastes, of olden times.
Before Chef Latry consented to
serve tripe at the souper dansant
at the Savoy Hotel "he went
through hi library, to see If his
tory would appease his consience.
It did. It was ascertained that no
other than Carome, chef: to Loul
XIV, was the first chef to , servo
this food to one so high as a king.
Careme came from Oaen, a pictur
esque village of the Calvados, and
Caen and Its tripe have been fa
mooa ever since. . .
Tripes du Maitre Careme,
named, for its master, as eaten by
the prince, ig made by Chef Latry
like this:
Cut a strip of trfpe into small
pieces-and stew eight to ft en hours
In a special earthenware "terrine"
In a mixture of cider and brandy.
Add a boned calf's heel, a knuckl
