THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. O
OYSTERS TAKE
NEW PLACE ON
FRENCH MENUS
Paris ((P In Prance, the oyster
lias replaced the frog.
After one of the most bitter gas
tronomic struggles of the ages, the
delicious bivalves from the French
and Portuguese coasts have been
attached to the French menu. Mil
lions of Frenchmen now eagerly
await the coming of each Septem
ber, when the restaurants announce
the "grand arrival" of shell food.
In the years preceding the war,
oysters, Including the cheaper Por
tuguese variety and the expensive
Marcnne, were consumed largely by
the gourmets. They ate them like
kids eat peanuts at a circus, mostly
by the hundreds, It not being ex
ceptional for a gentleman of capac
ity to eat 300 at a sitting.
The oyster of France is not the
bulby, dead gray looking animal of
the Chesapeake Bay, It is a succu
lent jade green and pearl colore!
morsel far sweeter and more tasty
than the best American bivalve.
Here In France they are eaten raw,
always raw. The French chef never
will cook an oyster.
In France, the oyster must be
drowned in white wine. No French
chef has sunk so low as to fry an
oyster, because one could then not
eat them by the dozen. Oysters arc
sold on street corners and delivered
to the home on big plates just in
time for dinner.
It seems probable that with the
triumph of the oyster, some smart
chef will start cooking them, and
the oyster may take the place of
frogs and snails, which, after all,
were best known during the siege of
Paris, when there was no food, but
lots of imagination on the part of
Hungry cooks.
CAREY DOUBTFUL
ABOUT OPERATIONS
Operations of A. K. Wilson oC
Portland In the handling of build
ing and loan shares are questlon
able In the opinion of Charles H.
"My Mother Took It, Too"
Carey, state corporation commis
sioner, who has Issued the follow
ing statement:
Almost every day complaints are
made to the corporation commis
sioner that one A. K. Wilson of
Portland, Is getting assignments of
building and loan shares from mem
bers. These assignment are taken in
the name of Union Bond and Trust
company. He does not pay anything
more than one dollar to these mem
bers, but promises to pay them fifty
percent of 'all the net proceeds rea
lized from the sale or adjustment of
said certificates as and when re
ceived.1 Whether or not he makes
fraudulent misrepresentations I can
not say, but doubtless he convinces
them that he can Go something for
them or they would not sign. I do
not believe he can do anything
whatever to justify giving him such
assignments as the corporation de
partment Is doing without charge
all that anyone can do In the inter
est of the members."
