HAPPY KITCHEN AIM OF SCHOOL A definite knowledKe of food Is nt'cesbary for success in cooking. There is no more enticing fate than to be able to really know about foods and to be oble to prepare deli cious, toothsome delicacies. The averuie purson doesn't have a chance to go into such ecstacles very often and so many cooks balk at the idea of fixing anything special except on rare occasions. As a remedy for this all house wives should attend the free cook ing school being sponsored by the Capital Journal in the Armory be ginning next week, Wednesday, April 25. and continuing for three days. Tlie hours are from 2 to 4 o'clock. Under the adroit hand of Miss Florence Henry, Home Ser vice director for the Grand Cen tral Public market in Portland, who will conduct the school here, foods that may have lacked personality for the housewife will immediately dcvelope allure and appetite ap peal. So, another good succestion is donl forget your paper and pencil! You'll want to get acquain ted with these foods. Miss Henry is building her lecture around a "Happy Kitchens" Idea and will stress important facts dealing with modern kitchens, mod ern equipment and modern house wives. Her recipes are her own strictly original and have been testrd in her experimental kitchen in Portland. Outstanding features will be oven dinners and the use of the Thrift Cooker. ri.hes prepared during the two hours' session each day will be giv en away and special gifts will' be distributed by various manufactur ers. CHINA RESENTS JAPAN'S ACTION Nanking. China. April 21 WP Despite reassurances by the na tionalist government, heightened tension between Japan and China became apparent today. Tlie question of Japan's so-called Asiatic "Monroe Doctrine" was placed flatly at the doors of the ministry of foreign affairs in the shape of a demand from the legis lative yuan to be Informed what is going on in high places, Wang Ching-Wel, foreign min ister, appeared personally before them and gave definite assurance that neither Chiang Kai-Shek, head of the government, nor Hu ang Fu, commissioner for North China, was "paying any attention" to Japan's recent hands-off China pronouncement. Additionally he informed the le gislators that, the national govern ment would enter no negotiations smacking of recognition of Man chukuo. But the recent Japanese note as suming responsibility for keeping peace in Asia (by force if necessary) remains the sole topic of conversa tion, both in and out of govern ment circles. The vernacular press, which up to this time has been silent on the subject, loosened up today with a torrent of caustic condemnation of the Japanese statement, and also asked with suspicion what the na tionalist government was doing about It and why Huang Fu was repeatedly confeiTing in secret with high Japanese officials In China.

EDltlslPUT ON CHILD ISSUE Washington, April 21 (LP) The American Society of Newspaper Editors today elected a new board of directors and assigned to, the incoming officials the responsibility of proposing a formal policy to ward the newspaper guild organiza tion of reportorial and editorial employes. Efforts to deal with the guild pol icy question by resolution failed to day. The editors in annual conven tion tied 28 to 28, and it finally was referred to the new board of directors. The resolution expressed sym pathy with the movement to Im prove the economic security and ethical standards of reporters and editorial writers but objected that the guild should not be a part of trade unionism. "If the mutuality of interests be tween publisher, editor and reporter is lost," the resolution said, "by an editorial swing to organized union labor, it will be Impossible to main tain open, free thinking channels of news." The resolution recommended ser ious study of the guild movement and "interested participation" by society members with the younger men to get more for themselves and give more to their Jobs. Directors elected today were: M. V. Atwood, Gannett Newspapers, Rochester, N. Y.; Marvin H. Crea ger. The Milwaukee (Wis.) Jour nal: Roy Roberts, Kansas City (Mo.) Star; Arthur J.

Dunne, candidate for the republican nomination as governor. He also resigned as port of Port land port commissioner.

April 21 lP John T. Curry, having achieved the dubi ous distinction of being the first of a long succession of Tammany bosses to be fired, surveyed the wreckage of his political llie today, a fallen war lord who had been out maneuvered at every turn. His enemies gave him credit for one attribute. He was a fighter. He fought to the last minutes, dog gedly, blindly, when he was quite aware defeat was certain. These same enemies were none too sure he had decided not to fight further. It still was possible he might go into court aud try to regain the mantle of Boss Tweed. He saw political loyalties that were a generation iu the making snapped like dusty firewood as Tammany cast him abide for a leader capable of keeping the wig wam in power. He was dismissed at dusk last night in one of the most dramatic scenes of Tammany's long and glamorous history. While his friends, some of whom had voted agauist him pleaded with him to resign to save the dishonor of being voted out, tlie will te -haired, aging leader stuboornly refused. When the roll call began every vote was for his ouster, until Cur ry's name was readied. He cast a firm "nay." When the balloting reached Mrs. S adit a Wilson, of the 20 th district. she broke Into tears and said: "I can't vote against Mr. Curry. He has been too good for me." The leader, of her district gave her permission to vote for Curry. When tabulators retired to form ally count tlie ballots. Curry's friends made a last desperate ap peal for him to resign. In that event a vote would not have been recorded. The veteran politician was ada mant. He looked squarely into tlie the eyes of the men who voted against him men who for years had been his comrades. His voice was bitter as he recalled past fa vors Visibly affected but still firm, he refused to step out. SUN SPOT TORNADO INDICATES STORMS San Francisco, April 21 LP Sud den and severe changes in weather conditions were predicted today by two prominent astronomers because of the presence on the sun of a gi gantic spot 16,000 miles in width. To Earle G. Llnsley of Chabot observatory, Mills College, andn Dr. Albert Newlin, protege of Father Ricard, Padre of the rains, the spot meant forthcoming storms, rains, electrical disturbances and sudden climatic changes. They observed the spot for the nrst time yesterday. It will take 12 days for the spot, visible now to small telescopes, to cross the face of the sun. Llnsley called It a "sun spot tor nado" whirling at terrific speed across the sun. Newlin, carrying on at Santa Clara university the researches of Father Ricard, said that the spot marked the beginning of a "big spot" era, which in tlie next nine to 12 years would cause changes in both weather and sun conditions. FIRE HAZARD IN FORESTS INCREASE An unusually early forest fire ha zard existed in the state, and al ready additional men have been placed in some districts. State For ester Lynn F.
