SWEET DISHES
[LURE CHINESE
P By- JOHN GOETTE
f International News Servlee
' PEKING, Jan. 19.— Instinctively
the Chinese people are not given jo
eating sweet foods. However, with
the foreign influx they are more
end more Turning to 'Western can
dies and sweet dishes. In the old
days, and even today in the more
remote country districts, the use of
sugar was very restricted.
A Chinese meal served according
to strict standards opens with a
number of cold dishes on the table,
among which are candied
and walnuts and sugar dates.
Again, in the middle of the repast,
there is served a dish of hot can
died sweet potatoes or yams.
To prepare this dish of sweetened
[yams, the Chinese cook peels the
yams and then cuts them in diag
onal pieces, which are fried to light
brown in lard and then drained
One cup of water and one cup of
cugar are cooked until it meets the
fcard ball test. That is poured over
|the yams and stirred until evenly
eoated. Sweet potatoes are pre
pared the same way.
Orange soup is a favorice In
Peking. • The Chinese cook takes
]tha pylp of six oranges, which is
added to three - quarts of boiling
(water in which is dissolved one
quarter pound of rock sugar and
tone tablespoonful of starch, more
©r less, as Is needed to give desired
thickness. The recipe is frequently

’ NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—Following
fn the footsteps of her politically
aninded sisters here and in Eng
land who have succeeded to their
deceased husbands* places in gov
ernment position, Mrs. Harry Hou
dini. widow of the famous magician,
plans to take up the magician’s
wand laid down by her husband’s
dying hand.
Mme. Houdini announced her in
tention before an invited audience
©f newspaper men and others as
sembled In a vacant store in the
upper Fifties, when to demonstrate
her fitness to carry her husband’s
mantle, she “froze” an Indian “medi
cine man” in a cake of ice.
The Ice was formed around him
by th® application of solidified car
bon dioxide gas. It was explained
That the freezing process had taken
16 minutes. The man remained
in the ice some 15 minutes more,
and then a hole was chopped In
the ice to expose his face. The
Ice was real.
Mrs. Houdini said she plans to
combipe the trick with legerdemain
from her husband’s repertory, in
cluding an escape from handcuffs
er * strait-jacket. When her hus
band was alive ehe assisted him in
bls stage work under an assumed
»ame. '
